A new mission for Halo fans to get their hands on the Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta, which will go Live on May 16th and will end on June 6th. Bungie which opened registration for those who want to try Halo 3 Beta in December will finally be able to enjoy the thrill on May 16th and Bungie has also told that as its a beta version you can expect little problems like some rough edges, quirks & all, but you can get to see how the next version of Halo will excite you with new features.

Frank O’Conner of Bungie describes some new features in the game, “The Beta itself consists of three maps — Valhalla, High Ground and Snowbound… There are a number of new features you’ll get to test out — including a new grenade type, a completely different class of weapon and some of the enhanced online functionality we plan to bring to the game… In May, when you’re firing the Spiker, sniping vehicles with the Spartan Laser and sticking fools with the Brute Spike grenade, remember that it’s just a peek-a-boo fraction of what’s to come.” So you can hope loads of action packed fun and see whats gonna happen in the story to come.

As said the final version of Halo 3 will come in three flavors with some extra goodies you can expect two editions with third one being only the game.
