The Facts Behind Halo 3 Epsilon

Yesterday, I mentioned sightings of Bungie and Microsoft employees playing “Halo 3 Epsilon” online. Apparently, some of the Beta testers are also in on this new “Epsilon”. Kotaku uncovered some facts behind the project that shed a little light on the mystery. Here’s the message they uncovered:

Congratulations on being selected to participate in the Halo 3 Epsilon! The Epsilon is now available for download on Marketplace!

First, unlike the Alpha, Beta or Delta, this is a very special test in that not only will you be testing nearly final Halo 3 Matchmaking, you will also be able to:

• Play Multiplayer on six maps: Snowbound, High Ground, Valhalla, Last Resort, Epitaph and our new big map, Sandtrap.

• Play Custom Games and test out full game variant editing.

• Play with the Forge and be able to cooperatively edit and save multiplayer map variants.

• Play up to 4 person co-op on a single Campaign level.

• Play and test the full Saved Film functionality, including screenshots you can view in-game for Campaign, Multiplayer and Forge.
