Halo: Reach beta's live-action short makes its online debut

Alright folks — it's time for another live-action Halo short, this one for the upcoming Reach beta. We told you about it yesterday, now a short version of the short is making its way through the pipes of the internet, winding up on YouTube in advance of a higher-quality version due later this evening arriving from Microsoft on Wednesday morning.

We've embedded the clip — "Birth of a Spartan" — after the break above The not-so-short (i.e. full) version of the, er, short will hit Thursday morning, April 29. Consider your appetite for more officially whetted.
