Beware fake Halo Wars beta invites (also, tanks)


Word comes down from the official Halo Wars website that some fake beta invites are making their way into gamers' inboxes. In truth, the invites aren't actually fake, they are simply leftover from the Halo Wars alpha test that took place in March. At the time, Ensemble Studios had planned to let a small selection of community members participate in the alpha test but later decided to keep it private. This left that group of community members with useless invites to the beta and now it looks like some of these people are distributing the emails to other gamers -- as a joke we suppose -- claiming that an open beta is forthcoming. Ensemble has made it clear that "There is no Beta right now, private or public, and no sign-ups are being taken." Anyone who tells you otherwise is pulling your leg.

Also, we're not quite sure how we missed it, but the UNSC database on HaloWars.com has also been updated with the Vehicle Depot and the Scorpion Tank. Hit the source link to check out some new images and even a short video of the Scorpion in action.
