'Halo: Reach' Beta Gets Release Date

Folks that purchased a copy of "Halo 3: ODST" were given access to the "Halo: Reach" beta when it launched. That was some months ago, and people are kinda wondering when that access is going to open up. Well, wonder no more! The gaming public will be enjoying "Halo: Reach" multiplayer action on May 3rd. That's less than three months away! A hair's breath in Master Chief time!

By the way, the above image comes from the official box art of the game. Note the dude in the skull helmet, which is apparently a requirement for all triple-A first-person shooters going forward. Oh, and one of them is almost definitely a female, and another is almost definitely a secret alien who just wants to be loved. Just theorizing here, but you know I'm probably right.
