anyone if they are planning a insider test for campaign or only multiplayer?
I think its MP only. SP would be too prone to spoilers and data-mining.
MP only probably.
As far as we know right now it’s multiplayer only, but I’d love to at least get a teaser for the campaign
Maybe if they want to test cooperative play, but at this point I am assuming only competitive multiplayer.
Why would they need a test for campaign?
While I’d love to see a Forge flight I highly doubt that’ll ever happen since the testing that’d need to be done is nothing they can’t just test themselves
it is most likely multiplayer only
The campaign has been finished for a year and i think they are only improving textures and some minor bugs there. In his first post Joe Staten stated that he played the campaign 3 times already to experience it.
So yeah flighting will mainly be used to balance out MP and fix bugs there.
This is more of a “stress test,” and less of a “let’s get your feedback” test.
Edit: They will most definitely be both expecting, and welcoming feedback, but that’s not their number one goal.
I would welcome being able to play the campaign in any form in a flight but like others have said it is unlikely. If we get any campaign demo at all it will most likely be the same segment that we saw in that initial demo. The focus of the technical tests will be mostly to test server load and matchmaking stuff as well as how people like the overall feel of multiplayer. I’m sure they will also be looking for balance issues or if there are any bugs.
I think demos are more appropriate for single player stuff. Insider tests seem to mainly focus on Multiplayer, although in a few of the MCC flights they have tested performance fixes for campaign missions. I don’t think that will happen with Infinite.

Agreed, even breaking out that first mission from the gameplay trailer would probably be iffy at best.
I dare say it’ll be a multiplayer test only. But let’s wait and see.

To be fair a test for coop wouldn’t be all that bad an idea.
Whats the point of testing anything? Data and giving the product the best possible chance to work as expected at launch.
Open world coop isn’t exactly an industry standard and is often poorly implemented.
From what I’ve seen it’s just for multiplayer!
