Game News: Halo: Reach BETA is coming

If you got yourself a copy of the underwhelming ODST you would have noticed an invite to the upcoming Halo: Reach multiplayer BETA testing. This time last year I didn't really give a cow's behind about this new game, being so dissapoinded with ouw muchI paid for a HALO 3 add on but now that we're fast approching one of the largest BETA tests ever undertaken for a game there's a fair bit to be excited about.

Along with the ability to run, new weapons, final kill moves and friggen jet packs there's a couple of new game modes in multiplayer that look quite interesting.
"Headhunter", players drop skulls upon death, which other players can pick up and deposit at special zones for points.
"Stockpile" has teams race to collect neutral flags, holding them at capture points every minute for points.
"Generator Defense" pits three Spartans versus three Elites. The Elites' objective is to destroy three generators, while Spartans defend the installation. After every round the players switch roles.
"Invasion" is a six versus six mode.

So I'm excited. With this BETA coming out as well as Red Dead Redemption you're listening to one excited little monkey... May should be a good month for gamers. Check out the below videos and tell me that you didn't drool even just a little...
