Early Halo Reach Beta Access

[dgwillia006]

[quote name='Jackie Chandler']As if people here need any more reason to be distracted from their backlog... [/QUOTE]

Lawl, agreed, my backlog is so huge its not even funny, and i just added 2 games to my front-line (SSF4 and Record of Agarest War)

 

[agentcoop007]

[quote name='dgwillia006']Does everyone on Giant Bomb who completes the quest get it? Or just a lucky few

 

[dgwillia006]

[quote name='agentcoop007']completing the quest just enters you into the drawing as far as I know. Which I did thanks to help from you GAGs [/QUOTE]

Meh, seems like quite a run around just for a "Chance", but whatever i guess, 19 minutes into the video already while i was doing something else. Time to pop in SSF4 ^_^

 

[menikmati]

Just finished Giant Bomb's quest for this, hopefully I get in.

 

[roscooee]

your theory on time = money doesnt seem right, but i dont have enough evidence to disprove it

 

[kidrocklive]

Those claiming you might still need odst for this. Here is proof you don't.

Thanks OP entered into all 3, here's to hoping at least some Cags get early access.

 

[LinkinPrime]

Thanks OP!

 

[Sharkey1337]

Well finally got the Ask and You Shall Recieve quest done this morning as it finally recognized I watched the 35 minute preview after playing it 6 times=P

 

[Sharkey1337]

G4TV.com is also doing a contest, though they only have 20 early beta keys: http://g4tv.com/games/xbox-360/61984/halo-reach/contest/54/halo-reach-sweepstakes/

 

[agentos]

Finished all of the parts of the quest in about an hour. Thanks for the information

 

[thisboywillbreak]

Thanks for the heads up OP and everyone else.

I did Giantbomb, Twitter, G4 and I should have a copy of ODST coming from the Imaginecup thing. If I don't get into this damn beta, I'm gonna be pissed.

Imaginecup?

 

[gage006]

It was a contest for a free copy of ODST, long dead.

 

[DarkSynopsis]

Can the Giantbomb Secret Quest be done?

 

[xFatalFlaw]

Not sure if anyone has said it yet, but the beta is going on until May 19th. Of course it could always be extended if problems arise or if they feel they need more time? Here's the link: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-5023-Halo--Reach-Beta-To-Run-Till-May-19th.html

 

[Scorch]

yeah.. if you get a download code for the Beta, you do NOT need the ODST disc. The only way to get a code for it is win one of the many, many contests.. otherwise you need the ODST disc and can join the beta on May 4th

 

[agentcoop007]

So I figure they will be giving away the beta codes in the next few hours. If anyone gets one post about it here please

 

[agentcoop007]

OK so Microsoft ExpertZone just got me a Halo Reach Beta code!! All I had to do was answer some questions about Halo ODST correct, and they e-mailed me the code
I got an e-mail from them about this minutes ago. but I think if you are signed up for ExpertZone when you go there its on the main page. happiness!

 

[LinkinPrime]

Man....I wish i still worked for Best Buy.

 

[Lost_In_Shadows]

I hope I get one. I want to try it,but I'm not crazy over Halo. Main reason is to piss off a friend dieing to get in it. :lol:

 

[Luriden]

Just an FYI for anyone with Microsoft Expertzone. I just got a beta code emailed to me. If you take the ODST course on Expertzone, they email you a code. I haven't tried it yet as I'm giving it to a friend since he doesn't have ODST and I do. I'm gonna download it tonight on my friend's 360 to see if I can actually go online with it yet.

 

[cficare]

Just got an expertzone invite. You goto a site and input your email and they almost instantly send u a d/l code. The beta, I hear, is active. It's the "family and friends" period before the 3rd.

 

[Luriden]

Just out of curiosity, for the ODST Reach beta, do you have to put the disc in your 360 every time you want to play the beta? I'm considering keeping the code for myself now...

Do they e-mail you right away after doing the quiz? or you gotta wait 24 hours?

 

[mickleohb]

Good info, but I need to finish a paper so I'm going to resist the temptation (hopefully) and wait until the regular Beta starts

 

[help1]

Is there a way to get a beta code from expert zone without working at a place?

I don't see this option anywhere on the site. :/

 

[nnthomas]

The site is down, dont bother

 

[jaksapple]

I completed the quiz at expertzone but I dont see where to get the link. Any help?

 

[Stonecoldfreak1]

Son of a bitch..

 

[sgaldis]

Just gave it a shot...completed the quiz. No beta code, yet.

I just googled the info for a best buy to sign up

I finished the ODST quiz and no beta invite

 

[help1]

Yea, I still got not invite. I completed the quiz, but nothing came to my email address. Is there something else I need to click after submitting my quiz?

if you guys go to the xbox section on there, you will see the halo reach plastered everywhere and theres an option to get the code (but alas its dead for now)

 

[cypherskills]

Ohhh it worked!!!!

 

[_Ph03n1x_]

[quote name='cypherskills']Ohhh it worked!!!![/QUOTE]
nvm im dumb

 

[Stonecoldfreak1]

It's back up.

 

[cypherskills]

well i had already done the quiz and was waiting on the link that led to the page with halo reach on it and just a thing to input your email. It now says check my email for the code. Just waiting on it now....

 

[GenPirate]

I would sign up for the expert thing but it asks for a work phone number.

 

[DarkSynopsis]

Anyone got a direct link to the ODST Quiz on ExpertZone? I can't seem to see any Reach Ads.

Edit:
Found it but just getting an error

 

[Hsith]

Thanks CAG.

 

[Guttersnipe]

HELL YES! Thank you CAG, just got a code!

 

[xenoimpact]

how would i go about getting into expertzone?

 

[GenPirate]

[quote name='Guttersnipe']HELL YES! Thank you CAG, just got a code![/QUOTE]

From where?

 

[goud71493]

Did the expertzone test and haven't received the code yet. Could be because I got 75% on the test.
