What is “flighting”?

A flight is a work-in-progress game build and will often be on a small representative slice of the complete game. Each flight will have specific content aligned with specific development goals. How long a flight lasts and who gets into the flight will vary with each release. The flighting process, along with the scope of content, will grow and evolve over time with your help and feedback.While the team has every intent to release builds that are as stable as possible, we fully expect a few hiccups and bumps along the way - which is the whole point of flighting. We look forward to your participation and feedback but we also ask for your understanding and appropriate expectations as we share work-in-progress builds directly with you.

How are flighting participants selected?

Different flights have different goals and areas of focus for the development team. When a participant pool is being assembled, the team will look at the specific needs and then look across all the Halo Insiders who have opted in to find players who align with those needs. In some cases it’ll be based on things like what kind of hardware specs you’re using – with MCC on PC specifically, the team is going to need to ensure they have specific representation across a broad matrix of PC hardware configurations.Often flights require a critical mass of players online at a particular time, and maybe in a particular region, so your location and availability could also come into play.Once flighting is up and running, the team will likely also focus on active participants who play and provide feedback as candidates for ongoing flighting while players who don’t actually participate may find they’re not included in subsequent releases.

How do I improve my chances of being selected for a flight?

Make sure your settings are accurate and up to date! For example, you don’t have a valid email on file, we can’t contact you to notify you about a flight. In the case of PC flighting, make sure you’ve included all of the required information – a DXDIAG upload is required to help the team assess hardware configurations and since we’re flighting on Steam, a SteamID will also be required (it’s the only way to actually get you a game build).We know everyone is super eager and excited to get started but please be patient – tweeting at the team and posting in the forums asking to be included or demanding to know why you’re not included won’t help the process.

I opted into Halo Insider and flighting… now what?

If your profile is complete and all required fields and information is there, you’re all set! Now just stand by. As the team starts building out flighting plans, they’ll pull from the Halo Insider database and assemble a pool of participants. Everyone who is selected for a flight will receive an email with additional instructions and we’ll generally keep some information updated here in the Halo Insider forum as well. Please be patient – if you don’t get into a flight, don’t give up, this is a long journey with numerous opportunities ahead.

Why is a Steam ID required for PC flighting?

We’re excited to bring the Halo saga to Steam for the first time and since it’s a relatively new platform for us, this is where our MCC flighting efforts will be focused. A Steam account is free to create and your SteamID is the way we identify you on the Steam platform and is the way in which we’ll actually grant access to download the game builds.

What is the Xbox Insider program and why do I have to sign-up for that also?

Xbox flights will utilize the Xbox Insider Hub as a means of delivering the game content and important information thus participants will need to be a member of the Xbox Insider program and have the app installed on their console. You can get more information about the Xbox Insider Program along with instructions to sign up HERE.

How is flighting feedback captured?

A lot of critical data will be gathered by our team on the backend. Pay attention to the particular focus for a flight and jump in during the specified playtimes and voila, you’ve just helped us immensely.Halo Insiders might also receive surveys following a flight that captures additional information for the team.During a console flight, if you encounter a bug or something that doesn’t seem right, you can use the Xbox Insider app on your console to “Report Problem.” To do this, go to the screen you’re giving feedback on (in this case, somewhere within the MCC flight build, press and hold the Xbox button on your controller, and when you see the power menu, select “report a problem.”Please make sure to check the “Known Issues” tab on the Xbox Insider HUB before you report a problem as it may be something the team is already aware of!The MCC Forums here on Halo Waypoint are frequented by the team and are a great, official place to share your feedback, suggestions and more. You will usually find specific pinned threads that tie into specific flights.

How will we get details and specifics on a particular flight?

Once a flight is kicking off, Halo Insiders who have been selected will receive an email with specific instructions. Additionally, we’ll mirror some of this information here the forums on Halo Waypoint.On console, the Xbox Insider hub is also sometimes used to relay important information and known issues to players.Once you have the game build for a flight, pay careful attention to in-game messaging as we will often use that to deliver quick, real-time information about upcoming play sessions or sudden changes of plan.

Yo Cosmonaut, copy/pasta only really works if you break it up to the point where I can actually read it...
