New Halo Reach Beta Screenshots

With the Halo Reach beta kicking off this Monday there have been a bunch of screenshots from the beta released.  In addition there is also a video introduction to the beta starring Aisha Tyler, viewable exclusively through the Halo 3: ODST game disc.  Tyler walks through all of the exciting new game modes and offers her own tips and insider hints for each of the maps while showing off some life size “Halo” weaponry.

The “Halo: Reach” multiplayer beta is set to be the definitive XBox Live event of the spring and will run from May 3 through May 19.  As this is a beta, Bungie will be turning on different modes at different times to optimize testing.  The beta kicks off with three playlists featuring the all new, highly competitive Arena mode (4v4 ranked Team Slayer games) as well as “Free-For-All” and “Grab Bag” playlists, which include a mix of classic and brand new game types.  Beginning May 7, the new large scale Spartan vs Elite “Invasion” playlist will be added to the beta.  Finally, beginning May 14 the “Generator Defense” game type will become available.

Everyone who logs in and plays at least one full game of any type in the “Halo: Reach” beta will receive a free “Halo: Reach” avatar hoodie via the Halo Waypoint portal on XBox Live.  To redeem the hoodie, players must access Halo Waypoint and browse their “Halo” career statistics after completing a match.

Check out the new screenshots below and get ready for the beta to launch in just a couple of days.
