The highly anticipated Halo 3 multiplayer beta is set to begin on May 16 at 1pm GMT and will operate until June 7 at 7:59 am GMT.
Those gamers who have secured a place on the beta either through the Rule of Three promotion or by purchasing a specially marked copy of Crackdown will be able to enter the world of Halo 3 using an Xbox Live Gold account from May 16.
The beta will include three action-orientated maps: Snowbound, High Ground and Valhalla. These maps represent a mixture of large and medium scale combat environments.
“‘Halo: Combat Evolved’ and ‘Halo 2’ changed the face of console gaming forever,” said Shane Kim, corporate vice president of Microsoft Game Studios. “Gamers from around the world have logged more than 800 million hours on Xbox LIVE playing ‘Halo 2,’ and years after its launch it remains the No. 1 title on our Xbox LIVE network. Bringing an early look at the multiplayer elements of ‘Halo 3’ to our passionate fan base is tremendously exciting for us.“
If you’re yet to secure your place on the beta then you can still do so by picking up a specially marked copy of Crackdown, with the game acting as a key to access the beta.
