Invasion Mode Playlist is Live !
May 10th
The new Invasion game mode is now available in the Halo Reach Multiplayer Beta. Just go to your play lists and select it to start playing!
Highlights
- 6 vs 6 – Spartans vs Elites
- Tiered Objectives
- Elites, assault the high ground and take either hill. Then disable the barrier around the core and extract it via the waiting dropship.
- Spartans, stop the Elites at all costs!
- Check your load outs often. Use the D-pad on respawn!
- During Invasion Slayer, occupy territories to score weapon and vehicle drops.
- 6 player team is split into 3 squads of 2
- You can now spawn next to the other person in your squad
Just played a few matches, and its really fun. And now since there are vehicles in this game mode, watch out for some crazy videos coming soon.

Halo Reach Beta – Already Experiencing Problems
May 3rd
Okay i’m not sure if this is only on my end, but I cannot connect to ANY games. And I have been trying for about an hour.
The beta lets you set all your customizations, like the helmet, armor, and other things. But once you enter Matchmaking, the game just sits there and does not find any servers. This is the screen it get’s stuck on for me.
At one point, it even said “The Halo Reach server is not available at this time. Please try again later.”
Sometimes it will also say that it is downloading a playlist, which can also take a while.
As you can tell by the picture above, there were 145, 977 when i took that picture (approximately 10 minutes ago). I am looking at the screen again now, and the user count is 151,320. It just jumped 5343 in under 10 minutes! And this is all within the past 2 or so hours that the beta has been out. So the user count went from 5,000 (the users who got it 2-3 days early) to over 150,000! That’s a huge number in such a short time, so these sort of errors are expected. Dont get too scared, they will be fixed soon.
If anybody else is having these problems, feel free to post and describe what you are experiencing.
