Today Bungie announced that a public beta of Halo 3 multilayer will hit Xbox Live Marketplace this Spring. Yep, come Spring 2007 we’ll all be able to get our hands on a multilayer build of Halo 3, allowing Bungie to collect feedback from the community as the team march onwards to a November release for the third instalment of the series.
Spring will also see the release of exclusive Xbox 360 multilayer maps for everyone’s favourite Halo 2. With Halo 2 still riding high at the number one spot online (something even the mighty Gears of War has so far failed to dent) this is great news, but these maps are not free, the will "cost something". In the latest update from Bungie’s website, Brian Jarrard states:
“These maps are shaping up to be really cool and once we can start talking more about them, I think our fans are going to be very, very happy with what’s in the works.”
Halo 1 maps?
Also bungie have released a new high-res screenshot of halo 3, unfortunately the shot does not show much...
