Yeah I got invited to all the MCC ones but didnt test Halo 4 or ODST at all. I think theyve put a couple out since then for the new seasons that I didnt participate in either.

I think theyve said eventually anyone whos signed up will be able to get in. This weekend is just a technical preview of 4v4 matches where one of the teams is just 4 bots anyway

---

I'm in! Check your email now. They must have opened it up to a lot of people.

No email on my end

I hope they open up the beta soon after or at least let players give codes like what they did with Reach

---

Got one yesterday, can't wait to play with my MCC buddies in Infinite this weekend.
---

I didn't get mine :< I can't imagine they need many people on original Xbox ones, though, I suppose.

---

I signed up for the PC flights

They actually mentioned this in a live stream today that they wanted a large amount of testers from all platforms. Even showed a few minutes of a multiplayer match on a base Xbox One and it actually looks pretty good considering how shitty the hardware is

One of the guys mentioned how its still a very big number of consoles since a lot of people still cant get their hands on the new ones and they wanted to make sure they could accommodate that

---

Should be starting in the next few hours though they havent given an exact time yet

Hopefully I can get a couple rounds in before bed

---

And the flight is live!

if you can get the fucking Halo Waypoint site to load so you can get your download code lol

---

I'm so sad I can't get my invite, all I want to do is drill with the commando

---

Lol, I'll see if I can get my code once I'm home from work. Seeing it extended to Monday is nice for me.
---

Got in and so far Ive just messed around in the academy running drills. The sniper is my favorite in the entire series. It sounds so fucking cool and is incredibly satisfying to use. I didnt even try the other guns, I spent like half an hour trying to beat my high score on the third sniper drill.

Its 39,000 btw

Also the menu music is orgasmic.

am i supposed to get hype over this halo or what? shits been dull since 3

genuinely asking

I havent been hyped about one since 3

played them all but they were very lackluster. This one seems fun so far


---

I got a 2nd invite 30 minutes ago but the website is down so were just waiting

---

Halo Waypoint is getting hammered right now. A shame they didn't email the codes.

Ah well.

I mean it's Halo. Nothing else really scratches that same itch as Halo for me.

---

So i got in the website finally but i dont see the code anywhere

in the halo insider page in my flights it shows July tech preview active and i got 2 emails but nothing

You're trying on Xbox yeah? If you're on PC a Steam Key should be there

But on Xbox you've got to download the Xbox Insider App. The option for Halo Insider is there. But personally I can't get it past pending once I register.

I'm assuming these were meant to be the instructions in Halo Waypoint lol

---

Been playing and I'm enjoying this so much
---

Im sad that this ends in just a few days lol

I really hope the next flight is soon and lasts a bit longer. Cant wait to play the new big team mode.

---

I'm ready for the ODST/Spartan level bots.
---

So apparently someone datamined the tech preview and now the entire campaign plot has been leaked on the internet lol

god damn it

Can't say that's all that surprising, but I'm gonna try and stay spoiler free. Hopefully 343 can try and mitigate that.

---

Odst level is alot more fun to play against, the new map is pretty cool too

---

Im loving the Heatwave or whatever that bankshot weapon is

And the Skewer. Cant wait to use that one on some vehicles

---

What I saw on the videos didn't really hype me up.

There are way better shooters nowadays.

---

Running into the entire team of bots and getting instantly deleted is comical. Hoping the Spartan bots actually put up a fight.

I noticed that on Live Fire they always charge to the left of the human spawn in a group. Ive been trying to time my grenades and get an overkill but they all whip out their pistols and wreck my shit in half a second lol

---

The videos I saw got me real excited, looks like they are trying to bring it back to Halo 3 as much as possible. Love the sandbox feel

---

for some reason i thought this was already out

It feels like the perfect balance of classic and modern Halo to me

---

I downloaded the insider app but I dont think I signed up for it iirc

---

Is the grapple hook OP? Seems like you can do some really crazy stuff based off the trailers, but I figure there was some balance in there for the actual game

---

I still can't find where the grapple shot spawns in Recharge. Really want to fly around with the gravity hammer. Getting Perfect medals feels so good and I love being able to customize the controls. Got the app downloaded so I can now edit my service tag and emblem.

Has three uses and the range isnt that far so it seems pretty balanced

its in the back of that room

do people still play halo? haven't played since 2.

okay Im definitely grabbing the hammer next time I have a grapple shot

---

That explains it then. I stay out of that room as much as possible with how open the map is. Hammer feels really clunky and slow, but oh so satisfying to get a kill with.
---

Is there any way to still sign up for an inv

It works exactly like I wanted it to. It looked like he used it more than once, too. Do you have it until you die if you pick it up? Or do you have to pick up a new one every time?

You get three uses, but if it respawns before you finish you can get more. I used it twice just now and picked up a new one and had 4 uses

I just had a hammer spree and felt like a fucking tank. I love it.

Not for this weekend but sign up for Halo Insider to get into the next test

That's actually wonderful. I thought it would be a one time use deal because of how the drop shield and camo/over shield were one shots. Thank God it isn't I can't wait to use it.

Just changed my info on Waypoint to try and get into the next flight lol

---

Drop shield has 2 separate uses and you can carry 3.
---

The little tracker ball on Bazaar can be stuck to your teammates to become a mobile tracker

A Reddit post showed the god damn bots using this strategy to find people lmao
