Many first-person shooter fanatics spent several days playing the Halo: Reach beta. Some used it as an opportunity to playtest the game and provide invaluable feedback based upon their numerous experiences. Others invested as many hours as they could afford in the hope that it would eventually give them a leg up on the competition when the game officially releases. I did neither of those things though and instead devoted all of my spare time to the pursuit of academic research. I observed countless gamers, the armor abilities they repeatedly selected, and carefully linked together the common characteristics shared between those that favored the same loadout. I’m dedicated, I know, and lucky for you I’m also nice because I have decided to share my findings. Enjoy the insight into each of these players, and don’t blame me if you recognize yourself.

Grab a vacation request form or start drafting a detailed sick note because the official release date for Halo: Reach has finally been announced. Expected to fall onto a store shelf near you on September 14th, 2010, it will be available in three very different and distinct flavors: the standard, plain vanilla edition for $59.99, the slightly more exciting limited edition for $79.99, and the absolutely cannot live without legendary edition for $149.99. The limited edition will include “an exclusive Elite armor set for use in multiplayer modes and an artifact bag containing Dr. Halsey’s personal journal and other classified documents and effects that unravel long held secrets from the Halo universe” while the legendary version will come with a Noble Team statue and a flaming helmet for your multiplayer Spartan. Pray tell, which edition, if any, will be making a dent in your wallet this fall?

So Sweetly She Bade Me Adieu

Despite the fact that it’s a temporary parting, many of us felt a twinge of sadness when we were forced to bid farewell to our beloved Halo: Reach beta. Our mild discontent doesn’t compare to the anguish the Spartan in the following video (which was captured by Groove Hunter) feels though. The lifeless lifting, the despondent descending, and the woeful wave all depict a poignant picture of dejected sorrow. Fret not, dear Spartan, because goodbyes are not the end. They simply mean I’ll miss you until we meet again…
