Halo Reach free full version download- Upcoming Halo is already a hit with fans

Although the next in the best-selling Halo series isn't due out until later this year, it's already a huge success. Developer Bungie, which opened up a beta version of Halo: Reach's multiplayer to fans this week, tells us over 1.1 million players have tried it out -- and they're impressed.Unlike the last Halo outing, ODST, Reach puts players right back in familiar boots: those of a Spartan super-soldier, much like the trilogy's star Master Chief. It's set before the other Halo games, back when Spartans were ten-a-penny, and tweaks a number of game traditions in ways that might surprise franchise fans.

First up, Spartans come with character classes, which the game calls "loadouts" --preset weapons and special armor powers that enable cool abilities like flight and cloaking. New customization options let you tweak the look of your armor to your liking, and you'll use a new credit system to foot the bill for these improvements.

And those improvements are sitting well with the game's enormous fanbase. G4's J.P. Shub -- a die-hard fan of the series -- called Reach "the Halo experience I have been waiting for...tight, balanced, and most importantly, fun."

The game's matchmaking tweaks also seem to be well-liked. If you've ever been dismayed at stumbling into a rude or over-competitive Halo match, you'll like them too. "Gamers have the option to choose the type of competition they would like," says Digital Trends, "whether it is just for fun or competitive; the type of people they would like to be on a team with, either team-oriented players or lone wolves; even the type of talker you want, either polite or a trash talker."

In fact, gripes seem to be few and far between, and with a community as large and dedicated as Halo's, that's no mean feat. Not everyone's thrilled at the absence of the iconic Battle Rifle, which has been a Spartan calling-card since Halo 2, and Wired's John Meyer raises some valid graphical and interface issues, but it's certainly fair to say the vast majority of Halo fans are loving the beta so far.

Planning to play it? Check out this set of tips from top blog Kotaku. Well, that's not quite true: it's more a set of things not to do. Like forgetting which team you're on, constantly using your armor powers, and running about the map waving the Gravity Hammer while singing "Can't Touch This" into the mic. We made the last one up, but check it out anyway.

The beta test is only open to purchasers of Halo: ODST, and right now is restricted to Gold-tier Xbox Live subscribers. But even those with a free Silver membership will get a brief chance to play between May 14 and 17. Gold members can play on until May 19, when the beta test period ends, so don't get too attached. Once it's over, that's it until the game itself releases this fall.
