Bungie has announced that the beta for the upcoming video game, Halo 3, will go live on May 16 globally.

Access to the beta will be rolled out simultaneously worldwide at 1 p.m. GMT (5 a.m. PDT) on May 16, and will end on June 7 at 7:59 a.m. GMT (June 6 at 11:59 p.m. PDT). Those who have not yet obtained a Halo 3 beta key can still sign up by buying a copy of the Xbox 360 game Crackdown.

While the beta will feature three maps, new vehicles and weapons, a lot of features will be hidden until the official release in the Fall.
