Bungie Studios Prepares "Halo" Nation to Finish the Fight

Bungie PR:

For the fifth anniversary of the release of the landmark Xbox video game “Halo,” Microsoft Game Studios and Bungie Studios today announced an exclusive hands-on experience with “Halo 3,” one of the industry’s most anticipated sequels. The Xbox Live multiplayer public beta, which is a pre-release version of the multiplayer experience of “Halo 3,” is scheduled for availability in spring 2007 exclusively on the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system.

Put another way, Halo 3 was just delayed from Spring 2007 to holiday 2007. They won't publicly admit that, but that's what this means.

Also announced:

On 4th December, the special 60-second “Halo 3” advertising spot will be broadcast in North America and for the first time ever, gamers here in Europe will be able to view the ad simultaneously via Xbox.com.

New, premium downloadable content for “Halo 2,” exclusive to Xbox 360, is scheduled for release in spring 2007.
