Halo: Reach

LONDON – 25 May 2010 - As a way to commemorate the conclusion of the “Halo: Reach” multiplayer beta last week, Bungie released a highlight video today pulled from memorable moments created by the players themselves. Dubbed “The Good, the Badass and the Ugly,” the video takes a loving look at some of the best Film Clips of the beta, including brilliant plays, badass moments and the not so beautiful bugs. Bungie created the video as a way to thank the more than 2.7 million fans who helped make entertainment history this month by participating in the largest console beta ever.

“The Good, the Badass and the Ugly” video is available for download now on Bungie.net, Halo Waypoint on Xbox LIVE, and Halo.Xbox.com. Developed exclusively for Xbox 360 by acclaimed studio Bungie, “Halo: Reach” is available for pre-order today in Standard, Limited and Legendary Editions and launches worldwide starting 14 September 2010.
