Halo 3 had a Beta. I want a Beta not just to play the game but for several reasons
1) Test what 343 can do. This is there first game that they are making all on their own. Halo Ann is just a simple re-skin and maintaining Reach servers are nothing in comparison to creating a new game from the ground up.
2) See if I even want to buy this game. Betas are a GREAT way to get people buy your game. Ex: I had never played any Mass Effect Game but I tried the Beta for 3 and now I am really thinking about buy this game and maybe even the whole series so I can learn the story.
3) Bug testing. I want Halo to live on. I want this game to have a smooth launch. This is going to be the first of three more Halo games so I would like 343 to get a good name with Halo and not kill the series like what happened to COD.
Of course I want to play the game. What halo fan wouldn't? But I want to see Halo 4 be successful and not turn into COD
