In order to properly celebrate the fifth anniversary of the release of Halo, Microsoft and Bungie have announced some information about Halo 3.
The Xbox Live multiplayer public beta, a pre-release version of the multiplayer experience of Halo 3, will be available in the spring of 2007 exclusively on the Xbox 360. The companies are promising that the next Halo game will “provide a wealth of technical and gameplay advancements.”
In addition to this exciting beta, new Halo 2 multiplayer maps will be available for download from Xbox Live next spring.
You have to be truly mad about Halo to care about this next announcement, but we know you are out there and that is why we are bringing you this news. On December 4, a one-time only sixty second Halo 3 ad will be airing on ESPN’s Monday Night Football. The ad will “provide viewers with a unique and compelling look at Master Chief and the world of Halo 3.” If you miss the ad when it airs on Monday Night Football, don’t despair. The ad is also available for download exclusively for Xbox 360 users via Xbox Live Marketplace.
“The Halo nation has a nearly insatiable desire,” commented Jeff Bell, Corporate Vice President of Global Marketing for the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft Corp. “We hope a taste of advance Halo 3 gameplay satisfies some of their appetite as we count down to the game’s launch later in 2007.”
