The Halo: Reach multiplayer beta officially launches on Xbox LIVE on May 3, 2010. Having spent time analyzing the mechanics and flow of the early Alpha build, I can confirm that the movement and combat pacing represent a significant evolution for the franchise. If you want to hit the ground running when the servers go live, it is essential to understand the new loadout systems and armor abilities before you get your boots in the mud.
Below, you can view the world premiere footage of the Reach multiplayer Alpha. Watching these specific engagements provides a technical look at how the sandbox has been tuned compared to previous iterations. To participate in the public Beta yourself, ensure you have your copy of Halo 3: ODST ready, as it serves as the required key to gain access to the download.
