X10: Halo: Reach beta arrives on May 3 photo

Microsoft's X10 event is going on right now here in San Francisco and we just learned that the Halo: Reach beta begins on May 3, 2010. This beta is for the multiplayer mode and anyone that owns Halo 3: ODST will be able to get in on the beta.

The Halo: Reach box art was also shown off today and the picture you see above comes courtesy from one of Geoff Keighley's ten cell phones.

Halo: Reach is promising to spice up the Halo formula and I'm definitely looking forward to this beta. How about you?

[Update: Added the official box art]

Just in time to destroy my academic year, feels like Deja Vu.

I knew I held onto my copy of ODST for a reason.

i got rid of that over-hyped DLC months ago and the prospect of being able to play this beta wasn't worth the trade-in money i got back from Gamestop.

Is it just me, or is the 2nd guy from the right a robot?

Girl Spartan? Pshaw!

What does she do? Cook pies for the rest of the squad?

Awesome. That's also right when I'll be getting my copy of Agarest War.

Distractions are inbound.

Can't wait. Hopefully this the best Halo ever made. The series seriously needs a shot in the arm, because quality has kinda been going down for every iteration after Halo: CE. Bungie seems to be going all-out for their final Halo effort, and hopefully it pays off with a game that can contend for GOTY.

From the Vid Doc, it makes it look like you're going to feel more like a super soldier, unlike the other games where your only super soldier feature was a shield and duel wielding.
