    Halo 3: ODST

    Game » consists of 10 releases. Released Sep 22, 2009

    Taking place during the events of Halo 2, Halo 3: ODST puts players in the shoes of a silent Orbital Drop Shock Trooper (known as the Rookie) as he traverses through the Covenant-occupied metropolis of New Mombasa to find the whereabouts of his missing squadmates.

    Reach Beta... still available?

    If I were to buy ODST new before the Reach beta comes out, would there still be a beta voucher included or were those only in launch/earlier copies of the game?

    Its not a voucher, you need to use the disc to get the beta when it is released. And yes, i think all copies will have access to the beta until the beta is over.

    Which is the only reason I'm expecting a copy of it to show up on my doorstep in a few hours.  Extra Halo maps, nah.  New Campaign, no thank you.  Beta invite to what will be "the definitive halo", sign me up.

    Just to clarify, I just ordered ODST from Goozex so that I could play the game, but also to play the Reach beta. I assumed that by virtue of having the ODST disc I would be able to get into the beta; is that true?

    yes. It's a selection in the ODST menu- you go there and download it. Not a voucher or anything like that.

    Yeah, I think you are just going to need to insert one of your ODST discs just to verify that you have the game or something, no codes or vouchers necessary.

    I got a question If you were to rent it, can you just download the beta and have the beta or do you need the disc?

    You'll need the Halo 3: ODST game disc to play the beta.
