In this week’s Bungie Update, it’s been revealed that on May 15th, the day before the Beta goes live, Bungie will be releasing a Beta guide containing FAQs, tips, tricks, map guides and more. As far as the beta itself goes, the update states, “The code itself is about 99.99% complete, and it’s in the final test and certification stages (fingers crossed).” Bungie also revealed that there will be a secret, ‘Friends and Family’ level in the public beta. Actually, it sounds like it will basically be a preselected group of players who will receive the beta a few days earlier than everyone else.
Reference was also made to the leaked beta footage that has popped up since the internal beta began. “Naturally we’ve had our share of leaks from the internal beta, and while it makes us angry that some people want to ruin the surprise for others, the real joy of the Beta is in the playing.”
In addition, Bungie thinks they have solved all the issues with downloading the “Blastacular Map Pack” for Halo 2.
