Halo: Reach Beta Thread

So there's a Reach event Tuesday night during a Lakers game, so I assume we'll get more media, or at least previews from it.
Getting crazily close..
Not sure if you simply don't know the E3 schedule or you're just dropping some additional knowledge but for the sake of informing anyone that may not know, here's when we should expect some to get some Reach goodness:
MS's press conference Monday morning (10:30 PST) you better bet they'll demo the SP there. Then the floor opens up Tuesday morning and Reach will probably have a significant presence at MS's booth. If attendees aren't getting hands-on on the floor then we'll still be able to rely on scheduled meetings with the press to show off the game (think ODST's extended demo). I expect hands on since the press has already seen Bungie demo the SP to them months ago. Hopefully there will be some sort of MP goodness tossed out during E3. There's also that podcast that could've already been recorded and hit during E3 or maybe they'll wait for everyone to come back from LA to record it.

So yeah, I don't know anything about the Lakers event but we'll have plenty of stuff to chew on beforehand.

Perhaps I'm missing your meaning, but why wouldn't it be?

That's their all access commercial. Everyone covering E3 is going to have Reach information.

Personally I'll probably stick to G4 all week when I'm not online.
That promo is for a show airing tomorrow, well before the MS press conference which is otherwise the earliest we'd be seeing new Reach stuff.

In the past few weeks, we've been told we'd be seeing more on Reach "sooner than you think", and that not everything that's being shown will be at the conference. So the G4 pre-E3 show could be the answer to those teases.

Tis additional, very much aware of the blowout that should happen at & after the conference.
I've stayed up until 6am watching my fair share of E3 conferences.

Just know that there's some kind of Reach event Tuesday night (PST).

Halo: Reach to be on GTTV? It's shown in the montage of videos in the beginning...

That would be a cool surprise, but I think they may just have a post beta preview since they didn't mention Reach's name individually. Then again, they did show a lot of Reach footage so don't ask me.

So browsing cake wrecks makes me feel confused. Why are "bad" cakes amazing? :lol

Aye. Every Sunday they do a round up of awesome cakes. Makes for odd browsing, though. One disaster after another, and then whoa! Brilliance.

I would definitely describe the Spartan helmet cake as tasting like a wreck. It was like a mold of frosting and rubber filled with the lowest quality cake one could find. Cake Wrecks is where it belongs. =P

(Someone sent us one of the helmet cakes with a copy of their resume before the "no food from strangers" policy went into effect)

And so ends finals. :D

Going to be staying in Seattle for the summer working on a research project. Bungie, if you need someone to playtest your game that plays 1000% better than the beta or make some custom Forge maps for Reach's launch I'll find the time.

I take it the person didn't get the job as Bungie Cake-Maker?

Wait, how long did this policy take to get implemented? Most folks are taught that before they enter school. :lol

Maybe outside of the states.

We will eat any and everything we can get our hands on here. And if it has frosting? Shit's good as gone.

Under the newest poll on Bnet, the first response is "Super Secret Bungie Stuff".

Why'd they put "Bungie Stuff" and not "Reach Stuff"?

New IP at E3 get! :D
