Correct me if I’m wrong but so far what I’ve heard is there will be a TU in September and Beta Hoppers in October so what’s the difference between the 2 and wouldnt the Beta come before the TU?
The TU is for overall Reach gameplay, and the Beta is for CEA specifically.

The Title Update will allow the Gametypes being used in the hoppers in October to work.
The Hoppers they are referring to are Playlists with Gametypes in them with modified bloom and other TU changes.
The Title Update is due for mid-late September and the hoppers are due for a October release.

Thanks 
Well I think what will happen is we’ll be able to 1) DL Gametype variants in Sept. 2)Then get Beta Hoppers in Oct,3) then get the full TU sometime after. I said think because it’s not exactly crystal clear at the moment at least for me.
The TU will allow for the changing of the established settings for bloom, armour abilities, etc. Beta Hoppers will be the communities way to add input to how these changes can be used for matchmaking. They’ll make playlists such as: Pistol bloom level set at 65% or 80%, it takes three melees to kill someone, instead of two, etc.
So the TU will allow stuff to be changed, Beta hoppers are where we get to test these changes over matchmaking… And provide feedback for 343i.

I believe it works like this, TU is released in September, no changes noticed other than small bugs.
Hoppers come out in October, fans get to play TU Gametypes
343i takes feedback, puts it all together and modify the gametypes a bit more.
They give us the final gametypes or we wait until CEA’s release for them.

It may work something like that. As I said I am not 100% clear yet. You have to remember though that the TU is going to be changed based on feedback so I wouldn’t expect we’d get the full TU until the end. They also have to give it to Reach owners who don’t buy H:CEA. I hope after Sunday’s Panel that it becomes a lot more clear.

Hoping so, am I right in thinking the CEA Multiplayer Panel is on Sunday?

Yes, it is. at 12:45 pm Seattle time.
Well, something else about the TU, people with newer model 360s can actually play online co-op campaign and firefight once the TU releases.

That is a great thing. I hope other little twiggy issues are addressed as well.

2:23AM, I have started staying to roughly 4AM during Summer, I don’t want to but it’s either the following,
I can’t sleep
I am waiting for a reply on the Waypoint forums because I am having an interesting discussion.
My sleeping pattern is officially wrecked at this moment in time.

I’d say so. I know it is hard to sleep when there is so much going that interests you. I am the same.

This to, I hope all the Halo hype calms down before school or else I will be failing.
The title update changes gameplay and different aspects of the game.
‘Beta Hoppers’ is the playlist they are using to test out the title update.
The title update is coming in September and the ‘Beta Hoppers’ Playlist comes in October.

But that’s the, for lack of a better word, Beta TU then we play it for awhile then we get the final TU. I am guessing here but why have Beta Hoppers if they aren’t going to change/tweak the final TU.
