will there be another test?
Probably 1 more if I would guess.
With flights usually a couple of months apart, and with this being a pretty big flight, I don’t think we’ll get another one before release, the amount of bug fixes and polishing that needs to be done, I should imagine will be pretty extensive.
It might be we get another one, which would most likely involve stuff that will be fixed post launch. It’s only just over 9 weeks till launch now, so just have to see what happens.
The second flight week was much more stable than the first. The hit registration and map load times had been greatly improved.
I absolutely loved it! There was a short period where I was getting server crashes and it subsequently banned from matchmaking temporarily as the build assumed I was deliberately quitting games. But other than that I experienced almost no issues. I don’t believe we should take into account any of the “account not authorised” errors because those people reporting that were either searching outside of scheduled playtimes or having additional accounts signed into the insider build that were not actually permitted access to the flight (some of those people may have not realised that their second accounts were auto-signed in)
Without riding the 343i train too hard, as I said MOST of the reported issues were simply the user being ill-informed on how the flight preview was actually meant to be accessed. This Halo installment may possibly be the best yet!
Flights shortly before release can also be used as a marketing tool. So I would say…why not?
I think we will get one more flight before launch just to keep us from going through a dry spell of content.
Would be nice if that showed off like 30 seconds of campaign though haha
I have a feeling that they’ll do one more flight before release, with it being open to everyone, just to stress test servers before launch
Only time will tell, however the great polish and reception of this new era of HALO has been shown so there may be one more small test but anyway there are only 2 months left to see the Chief again.
Love the feedback. Hope everyone got a good taste of infinite this past weekend!
