Confused for the beta

So first off I thought the beta was supposed to be out by 1:00 this afternoon I can’t find anything to update my halo infinite launcher secondly so there’s time limits to play multiplayer on the beta? If so then this would be a waste of my time from the times that I found on websites that PVP will be available I will be working at all of those times

The flight is on hold at the moment as 343 are dealing with a late-game technical issue. No codes or emails providing access to builds are likely to be sent until decisions have been made and updates posted. The flight may or may not be pushed out, a delay is not confirmed until 343 provide updates. An update is likely to come out in the AM, 343 time [PST] with further details.Follow this topic for announcements as they arrive

You can play anytime during the window of the betas - EX if it was live, you could play from now until it closes on Sunday(?), then again when it opens back up next weekend.

So just like last time we are going to be losing about a day or so playing the beta and we’re probably not going to be compensated as well as like last time correct

I don’t know for sure. They’ve hared their displeasure with how the first flight hit - and mentioned working on that aspect. It’s reasonable the push the entire flight back as well.

sit tight, I’m sure we’ve got intel coming.

The flight doesn’t go live until tomorrow the 23rd. Also it is flight not a beta. 343i has posted, blog and during live stream have not once called it a beta, they have called it a technical preview and flight. The deal for today the 23nd was allowing us to download the technical preview/flight so we can jump right into it on the 24rd instead of bogging down the download on the day it goes live like last time.
Had to edit post, my phone calendar was off. It was set to 2022 not 2021.

Theres nothing to be compensated for. You havent bought access to the insider programme and if anything 343 are doing us a favour by opening the insider programme to the public. They could very easily limit it to an in house team or even disband the programme all together. Think of all the other devs that dont even offer beta’s let alone something as good as this were they let players test current builds of the game on a regular basis. Theres bound to be issues with the launch because after all its an unfinished game thats getting worked on so delays are to be expected and its not like the MCC flights where its getting a look at a new map and armour.

Have patience and give 343 a break. The more people complain and act entitled by throwing stuff like “ughhh here we go again and im not being compensated for the fact I cant play it yet” the higher the chance that stuff like Insider will be canned all together.

Agreed. Talking with friends, alpha testers I know, and other players, these tests they are doing are more like alpha test. With the 4 hour windows and limited access such as not having access to all the weapons and all maps. And though betas also have limited access they don’t limite you like these technical previews/flights do. We are lucky to be able to have these public flights. All the testing they are doing, have done and plan to do with this weekend and next can be done behind doors. There are other ways to test servers. Instead 343i is allowing us players/fans to test the game. I am sure we will get a open to everyone beta near launch. But right now they are using the Halo Insider program to hopefully weed out none Halo players/fans and Halo haters; to get feedback from their targeted people. Which is us fans. The COMPLAINTS need to stop. 343i is keeping us informed and big round of applause to Stckrboy whi has spent a lot of time going through the forums to post info. I don’t know any other game series or company that puts as much effort as 343i does. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 343i!!!:+1: we are here to support you guys. Looking forward to this weekend and next. Spartans it time do our best. Clean and oil those rifles, sharpen those knifes, make those armor gleam.
