Bungie released a trailer for the Halo: Reach multiplayer beta today, and boy is it a doozy. Chock full of action, excitement, new moves, returning favorites, and our first real look at the impressive new graphical engine in motion, this trailer is sure to get the heart pumping and the adrenaline flowing.

First things first. Did you see that jet-pack? Yeah, I might actually have to go grab a copy of ODST so I can try out this beta for that aspect alone. Aside from that awesome little addition to your arsenal, there wasn't really a whole lot to look at in this trailer. I was practically yawning at the new assassination mechanic. Third-person camera kills in my FPS? What's next Bungie, the ability tuck and roll during a fire fight? Oh, and what the eff is up with "Headhunter?" That mode looks cool as hell with all those skulls flying out of bodies for seemingly no good reason. I say that now because I don't know a damn thing about it, and the lack of knowledge frightens me. We're also getting glimpses at a few new modes and features like loadouts and active rosters, in addition to "Invasion" and "Spartans vs. Elites." There's so much going on here, you almost go through a bit of sensory overload.

I like playing Halo, but haven't been excited for a game like this in a long time. After seeing the footage above, there's no doubt in my mind that this will be a day one purchase. Now, if only I was actually good at Halo multiplayer.
