Yea definitely biggest beta release ever. But for a personal record, most spirits broken for people who think they are good at Halo and get crushed by me and my guys. Well maybe not... definitely rusty on Halo right now. But back in the day... oh man it was a record haha.

But yea I'll be downloading mine shortly so that'll add one more to the mix.

Halo 3 only has 31,571 people online as opposed to the usual 70,000+ that are on at this time.  And ten minutes ago there were about 38,000 people playing Halo 3.

Can anybody look on MW2 (360) and see how many people are on right now?

Its possible, I bet Halo ODST sales will rise because of this Reach Beta. I am excited they made some changes I have really wanted in the series, So I expect Reach to be a major contender for GOTY, I don't think anything else bigger is launching this year, but we will find out at E3 which is coming up quickly. I am betting on a Superb game from Bungie.
