Halo Reach beta extended one day photo

If you feel like you haven't had enough time with the Halo: Reach beta yet, you have a little bit more time to kill one another before having to go back to one of your other, lesser Halo games. 

Speaking to Joystiq, Bungie's Brian Jarrard has nailed down the exact date and time that the beta will be shut down. That would be Thursday, May 20th at 10am PDT. The beta was originally expected to conclude today. 

No explanation as to why but, really, are you going to look this gift horse in the mouth? If so, you'd better do it quickly before you run out of Reach time.

Hope you all sent in lots of helpful data so I can enjoy a nice, balanced, bug-free game!

Did anybody else get seriously bored with this game? And this is coming from a huge Halo fanboy. Something about it was just stale. The maps, perhaps?

I'm no longer amused by charging at another dude to see who can erode the other guy's shield faster so you can melee him or switch weps to finish him off.

The Halo multiplayer experience has just gotten stale. I think there was so much opportunity here to make a Halo-like Tribes multiplayer experience, but as it stands, Reach just feels clunky and old.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. Maybe Bungie didn't want to have a Tribes like multiplayer experience and wanted to keep their original gameplay and just add a few tweaks. I had a ton of fun playing the Halo Reach beta, I'm loving the upgrades to the halo engine and I plan on playing it as late as I can stay up tonight. Hope to see you guys online!

Other than some remapped buttons and an unbalanced class system, it's essentially the same as Halos 2 and 3. to say the least, it got old rather quickly.

After not really enjoying Halo 3's multiplayer (and being addicted to Halo 2's for 2 years after launch) I have to say the Reach beta has been a refreshing change of pace for me. I love the maps and new weapons and am looking forward to the full game.

Hahaha @ MasterBalls. My experience exactly.

I had fun with the beta, and I'm looking forward to the full game.

This Beta has been great, I've had plenty of playtime on it and it feels tweaked, refined and most importantly.. fun!

Only thing Reach does better is Halo, which really isn't comparably good, to anything.
