[quote]Hey Bungie and fellow guardians!! I was wondering if anyone knew when the beta will launch and/or when we will learn about the launch date? Will it take place days before release? Weeks? Months? Do we earn any special awards for testing it?[/quote] The beta release date is unknown but will be during the Summer. Bungie has mentioned that Beta Players and those who have been Bungie.net members for awhile will receive some type of reward in game. The actual release date for the game is 9/9/14.
