The Beta might start no earlier than April 28: Kotaku

Earlier today, a news release accompanying the Halo: Reach opening cinematic said the multiplayer beta would begin this coming spring. Now, of all things, the description of a charity auction lot pegs the date no earlier than April 28.

The listing (above) comes from Thursday's Child's Play Charity Auction Dinner in Seattle. Bungie donated not only a crate full of games and studio swag, but also a visit to the studio's "top secret lair" and "access to the Halo: Reach multiplayer beta before it goes live to the public." Winning bidder, and up to seven friends, supply their own travel, Bungie provides the network and food and, of course, the game.

"Valid only between 4/8/2010 and 4/28/2010 - any day within that range is acceptable," says the listing.

April 29, 2010 is a Thursday. Perhaps it could begin then. Most likely, "Spring 2010" now means "May 2010."

Official Halo: Reach Press Release

Step into the boots of a Spartan III and prepare for the first look at “Halo: Reach,” the highly anticipated prequel to the “Halo” trilogy from acclaimed developer Bungie coming fall 2010. The very first “Halo: Reach” video had its worldwide debut last night during the Spike TV Video Game Awards by actress Tricia Helfer, offering gamers a taste of the story to come.

Taken from part of the game’s opening cinematic, the video provides the first look at the story of “Halo: Reach,” which introduces players to Noble Team, a squad of battle-hardened Spartan soldiers. “Halo: Reach” charts the story of Noble Team in their heroic stand to defend the planet Reach, its people and secrets against a ruthless assault by an alien collective known as the Covenant.

“Halo: Reach” is being published by Microsoft Game Studios and launches in the fall of 2010 exclusively on Xbox 360. The “Halo: Reach” multiplayer beta is coming spring 2010, which players can access exclusively through “Halo 3: ODST.”

The “Halo: Reach” video is available now on Xbox LIVE and Bungie.net. Press only (do not publish the URL): for .wmv files and a screen shot from the “Halo: Reach” video, go to: http://edelman.psni.com/public/Halo Reach/

[uzair82]

after awful screenshots leak of halo reach last month, bungie is anxious to prove that those pics looked bad only due to bad photo quality. otherwise they wud have waited for next E3 to give us a first look at reach

 

[Raptorian]

^ lol. Why do u even bother to post?

I guess Bungie is finally showing Halo: Reach to the press but I doubt we'll have any info before December 12. Its 10 days only.

 

[USUF]

May be its for building up the hype? Letting people from outside come in and give them a taste of the "Trailer" that will be unveiled on 12th December is a good way of doing it i say...

May be we'll see some expressions from the critics about this in a few hours or days...

 

[Soulhunter]

VGA >>>>TGS>>>>Gamescom it looks that way

 

[Lars]

Could this mean we're gonna get a taste of the taste we're gonna get on 12th December?

I guess a minute or less than a minute teaser or something , they might want the HALO fans or even non HALO fans explain that something BiG is coming the next year fall ...... !

 

[snake2k]

Its all hyppeee maaan.. dont give into the hype!!! lol cant wait!!

 

[sliyk]

yaar few hours to ho gaye hain

 

[Chandoo]

so what's the big thing then ?

 

[Gizmo]

Could it be a short game play vid? Or maybe just some announcements.

 

[USUF]

A lot of hours have passed, thread title edited...

And i found a strange tweet on bungie's twitter.....

Uh oh, the jig is up!

 

[USUF]

Some more tweets...

More visitors today. What can we show off to keep 'em entertained? Hmm...

I'm on the edge of my seat watching Reach demos being shared with our international visitors today

We tease beause we love...and because we can't actually say or show anything real. Yet.

http://twitpic.com/s0o3n - Mike Zak, enviornment art lead, showing and telling

http://twitpic.com/s19ag - Design leads Niles and Chris are in the hot seat

Damn those bastards sure know how to tease lol

 

[Chandoo]

Spartan_008 asks: "How long is the Halo: Reach screening for the VGA's?"
Bungie Answers: "About two and a half minutes."
In my opinion, two and a half minutes will definitely not be enough for such a hugely anticipated game.
There were a few other useful questions:
Dropship dude asks: "What can we expect to see in this preview on the 12th?"
Bungie Answers: "A video from Halo: Reach's opening cinematic."
Old Papa Rich asks: "When does Halo: Reach Beta start?"
Bungie Answers: "In 2010. You’ll need your Halo 3: ODST disc and an Xbox LIVE Gold account. Sorry for the indefinite answer right out of the gate, but it’s the only one I got for you today.

[USUF]

^ Well, atleast that is on par with the first ever Halo 3 showing; the E3 2006 trailer which was about 2:20 mintues (and that was also not CG)

 

[Lars]

Still it is a win indeed that it's gonna feature in VGA 09 rather than E3'10 itself

 

[sliyk]

if uve read the halo reach novel ull love this game!

 

[Chandoo]

Bungie claims the "cinematic" will be in-engine stuff, not CGI.

[USUF]

^ Yes Chandoo i saw that this morning...And it actually confirms what keighley said a couple of weeks earlier.

 

[Raptorian]

Ofcourse, its time for REAL TIME cinematic trailer a'la E3 2006 Halo 3 "Finish the Fight" trailer. Please Bungie, blow every other graphical power house out of the water, even if I know you wont.

 

[USUF]

^ Bungie have ALWAYS preferred a solid gameplay over graphics...I won't be surprised if Reach looks a little bit better than Halo 3 and not a graphical masterpiece (though that would be a dream come true)...

In Halo 3, 4 people can play on a single console and there is never a drop of frame rate even if the console is being played with a simple memory unit. That shows how a solid the engine of the game is. (btw for those who don't know Halo 3 actually DOES make full use of the cache of the HDD if its connected with the console)....The load times between the levels is also an example of that...

EDIT:

But i still have hopes from bungie. No one can deny that they can actually squeez the life out of a console if they want to....The people who played Halo 1 and Halo 2 know exactly what a "graphical leap" is...
