The beta was originally supposed to be down for maintenance until tomorrow, but the gun has been jumped. For more on the beta, head here.
In an e-mail sent to beta participants, Bungie writes, "We know you've been waiting, so we've worked hard to finish our chores up early. You can download and play the Beta right now. Get in there. Break it. Tell us what you think. Share your experiences online."

Our Take
This is very exciting – and after Titanfall, appears to be becoming a trend. The Titanfall beta also ended up being available longer than originally expected. Hopefully Bungie takes another cue from Respawn and opens it up to everyone without the need for a beta code right near the end.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
