FYI, this story is more than a year old

Microsoft believes that next week's Halo: Reach multiplayer beta will be one of the biggest test events in entertainment history.

Just in case you hadn't heard, things kick off here in New Zealand on May 4 and run through to May 20.

Microsoft said that as this is a beta, Bungie will be turning on different modes at different times to optimise testing. We told you yesterday what the different game modes will be and when you're likely to see them.

Everyone who plays at least one full game of any type in the beta will also receive a free Halo: Reach Avatar hoodie via the Halo Waypoint portal on Xbox Live.

To redeem the hoodie, players must access Halo Waypoint and browse their Halo Career statistics after completing a match.

We'll see you online.
