Halo: Reach Beta Dated Plus Map Named
“Utility and economy spurred industry amidst these isolated and unforgiving badlands, but like all infrastructure facilities on Reach, this hydroelectric site is under the purview of the UNSC war machine. All threats to the continued, predictable operation of humanity’s final line of defense must be met with swift and decisive force.” Bungie also tells us that we can expect a brand spanking new VidDoc soon along with some new imagery.

Halo: Reach is likely to be Bungie’s final farewell to the series, and after it comes out they will look to create new titles in what will most likely original game worlds as the independent developers they have once again become.
