Halo: Reach Beta FAQ Launches Along With End Date

3
Bungie has published the FAQ for the Halo: Reach beta on its website along with a sad note: the beta is currently scheduled to end of May 19th.

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
Network Test 1 is the internal name for the Spartans vs. Elites 3-on-3 Generator Defense gametype.

    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.

      Maybe the bullet noises were too scary.

      The SMG didnt exist at the time Reach was destroyed by the covenant, and also the battle rifle, if they put them in the prequal then it would be going against the story line.
      Plus i sure the new weapons wil be good if not better :D
