The "Halo: Reach" beta continues to creep towards its May release date, and Bungie is really starting to open the vault on the game, as evidenced by today's trailer. The footage above is comprised solely of "Halo: Reach" beta content, which means we'll be seeing a whole lot of new gameplay elements when it launches.

Prime among them? Load outs. The trailer seems to imply that you'll choose, before starting a match, what special abilities you'll have. These range from the ability to sprint, go invisible or (gasp!) fly around with a jet pack.

Also added are new "assassinations." Instead of smacking someone on the back of the head to take them out, you'll now be able to get up close and personal with a military-issued shank.

There's plenty of additional info to absorb from the trailer above, so be sure to check it out.
