The Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta will go live on May 16th at 12:00 AM PDT and run through June 6 th at 11:59 PM PDT. That means that folks who purchased specially marked copies of Crackdown, or won a spot in the Beta through the Rule of Three or other regional promotions, will be able to log into their Xbox Live Gold accounts, download and play the Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta and enjoy an early peek at the multiplayer aspect of the game.
If youve been sitting on the fence, and are interested, you can still enter the Beta by picking up a specially marked copy of Crackdown, which would ordinarily be a chore, but thankfully Crackdown is an awesome action game which might ironically distract you from the Beta Im pimping here. Bungie is also giving out a few Friends and Family spots to valued community members, but those are few and far between, so its safer to assume youre not getting in that way.
Now, I will say this again and again the game youre going to play one month from now, is Beta software and while it will look somewhat close to the final game, it IS Beta and will contain quirks, a couple of roughedges and all that jazz. But were pretty confident youll find it a dynamic and exciting taste of whats to come in Fall.
