So, did they just forget about the insider vets and give all the newbie insiders the invites? 100% signed up and check mark on everything that applies.
Edit: The Gods of Halo have blessed me with the gift of flight.
The actual invites haven’t gone out yet though. Just the pre email, so you still could have hope. I do understand the frustration you’d be feeling though. At least there will be new content on YouTube and twitch to keep ones that didn’t get it mildly satisfied
As someone who’s been here for awhile, I can say I got my email notification but not my waypoint notif yet.

I fully understand that. I do, and I will always hold hope as Halo is the only franchise Ive ever continuously followed and researched my entire life. Hell, reading Fall of Reach and Johns training inspired me to lose 100lbs when I was 15 and keep pushing to never die in my combat experience in the service. (Personal, I know, but relevant).

Yeah the emails are one thing but the waypoint note is what matters

There are so many factors that go into who gets picked. Primarily, what system you play on will be huge. Theres A LOT of people with the Xbox One so if thats what you’re playing on, the chances of getting picked are small compared to people with the new Xbox as few people have them. At the end of the day they said not everyone is going to be selected. I got my invite and hav e been in the insider program for 2 or so years now and play on the Series S.

Im not 100% on how long I’ve been an insider, for sure over a year. But I have an xbox one and an xbox series s. Gave my son my old xbox one lol.

The waypoint notifications don’t roll out yet, only the confirmation email, just so you’re prepared.
It wouldn’t be fair if they only gave access to ‘insider vets’. Chill, if you don’t get an invite, you’ll at least get to see all the sweet new stuff from content creators and learn way more about the game than we did before.
You likely still have until the flight actually starts to receive an invite.
There’s always the next flight too.
I’m sure they’ll send out a bunch of invites at some point. They’re gonna have to do a stress test or two for the servers before launch anyways.
Not everyone is going to get an invite. There will be many more just wait it out. Everyone should have a shot maybe a little bit of an increase to the old vets but lets be realistic not everyone is going to get the invite.
EDIT:
Invites are still going out. Just got my invite hours and hours after they’ve sent them. About 6 hours since they started rolling out. Keep checking your inboxes.
I know a few people who got selected who’ve only just signed up for Insider a few months ago.
I’m quite surprised I never got a invite to be fair, been a insider member for a long time & have a Series X too.
Guess I’ll be waiting on the sidelines until it’s my time 
I’ve seen quite a few people who have barely any record of playing halo getting invites and I’m sitting here with nothing like wtf…
See my pinned PSA about criteria for selection, also the tweet thread from ske7ch
I’ve been part of the Halo Community Feedback Program since 2015 and participated in multiple flights in the past. I’m like you and didn’t receive anything. All things verified, etc. Really, really, disappointed to say the least…
Edit: Turns out Gmail was ultra slow in getting emails sent out. Might be something on my end, or just Gmail in general. Got mine though! Hoping for the best for the rest of you!
Okay, I can comment again. Update, I got the invite. No more sad boi noises.
I’m pretty jelly not going to lie. I have been in tons of flights since the beginning of 2020 and not to receive anything for this flight test hurts under my core of spartan armor! To see other Spartan’s receive a invite and to either A) just wants to sell it to make money B) they are not even interested in playing the flight or C) because they do not have time to play this weekend which are all true. I know I sound like the saddest spartan that was lost on a ring floating in a random universe and forgotten about, but this is the reality to this universe hopefully I will catch the next flight soon.
