Halo: Reach Beta FAQ Launches Along With End Date
That's a mere 16 days to play the beta (or more if you win our beta key giveaway for early access). Of course, this is all subject to change. Halo 3's beta was extended after some technical difficulties.
Bungie has also laid out the plans for when specific playlists and gametypes go active:
- Grab Bag - May 3
- Free For All - May 3
- Arena - May 3
- Invasion - May 7
- Network Test 1 - May 14

I am so pissed that they got rid of the SMG. I loved using that gun. I don't care that it was weak. It was just fun to shoot. The bullets made scary impact noises and really got the attention of other players; saved a few team mates under fire by drawing attention to me that way. The reload animation was the best and so was the beat down animation. I loved just peppering people from afar with a few bursts just to piss them off. I wish they would at least put the ODST SMG into Reach.
