Bungie's Halo Announcements
Bungie promised they would make some special announcements to coincide with Halo's 5th Anniversary and so here they are - and, frankly, they are a little... disappointing.
Maybe you were expecting in-game footage of Halo 3, or the launch of Bungie's Marathon on Xbox Live Arcade, or possibly even a playable demo of Halo 3. Don't hold your breath.
The first announcement is of the Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta Test. Next Spring, Bungie opens the Halo 3 multiplayer beta to Xbox 360 gamers, allowing fans to try out an unspecified number of maps and game modes and to help Bungie make the strongest online game possible.
The second announcement is of a new Map Pack for Halo 2 on Xbox 360. These maps will be released exclusively on the Live Marketplace in the Spring.
And finally, there will be a new 60-second teaser of Halo 3 shown during an American Football game (ESPN's Monday Night Football game featuring the Panthers against the Eagles, to be precise) on December 4.
And, er, that's it.

A beta/demo is disappointing? Sorry it's not coming out today, but only a fool would think that it was going to.
The fact is that I would have preferred to have seen in-game footage rather than be told that a beta is coming in about 4 months time.
A demo would have been coming anyway, so it's not exactly a special announcement.
It also wasn't made clear exactly what you'll get to see in the beta test.
