I just found out insider program is a thing. Having been hugely active in every halo title since 3, any chance I can reasonably expect an invite to the current flight soon?
Not for this weekend’s flight I’m afraid OP, you’re too late on that. Next weekend’s BTB flight is being opened up more, so you may have a chance to play then. It’s still good to sign up and opt in now though, means you’ll be ready for any future flights

I’m not sure at what scale yet - it will really depend how well things go this weekend and if we’re hitting our concurrency targets. Next weekend we need to push it even harder, so we’ll be using data from this weekend to identify how we’re trending and then back into the totals we need. <mark>So it’ll let more people in but there will be a cap</mark>.

Sad face. I want some arena gameplay. Only interested in where this game is going competitively.
Maybe slightly interested in the content I’d be playing if I join a community, but mostly focused on what my competitive squad will be playing.
Also, regarding future flights, would being accepted to play allow me to download on steam? Wondering how that’d work if not, since I’m strictly pc these days.
