I was wondering what you’re predictions are for the start of the next flight. I’m thinking maybe a week or two after the current MCC flight. So maybe like September 10th to the 19th as a start date.
With the MCC Season 8 flight ending on 9/13 my guess is about two weeks after its conclusion, so 9/24. That would be almost two months since the first flight, fingers crossed. I can see Septembers Inside Infinite being posted on 9/23 and in it they will announce the flight and start it on that Friday. I do hope it lasts more than a weekend so we can get the full breadth of 4v4 and BTB.
It will probably be right around the end of September sometime, which will make it about 2 months after the last flight and about 2 months before the launch of the game. 2 months should be enough time for them to incorporate feedback from the last flight into the current flight and also have enough time to incorporate any new feedback they get into the final build of the game. Plus it’ll be an even 2 months on either side and since I like symmetry in all things I strongly advocate for end of September 
Mmm wonder if I need an airplane ticket Just kidding waiting hmm there’s a flight ah well when things are ready

I think you are on the money with that. Inside Infinite is a great time for 343 to announce flights for obvious reasons, and it leads to predictability down the line when flighting starts for co-op and forge and whatever else they have planned.
Putting my money on the end of September. This time, I’m thinking this flight will be centered around 4v4 capture the flag or 12v12 BTB. I think the latter is more likely, or maybe we’ll get a mix with the former. With a side of bots, maybe.
Here’s hoping I get invited to the next one…

343 has confirmed the next flight will be 4v4 PVP and BTB. Hopefully the 4v4 portion won’t only be slayer like the first flight was (bots and the hour of PvP). They also confirmed Bot Slayer and weapon drills will be in it. I believe every flight will add something new and not remove anything from previous flights.
Here’s hoping you get an invite because the game feels amazing to play.

Ah, that’s good to hear! I think I read that somewhere but I forgot lol.
I did get invited to flight mcc season 8, so maybe that’s a sign ill get invited to the next infinite flight…
After season8s id expect this month early next.
2 teams after all.

Staff at 343i have talked about a blog coming in a few weeks that is supposed to address feedback from the last flight more directly and talk about the changes they’re making.
My guess is that in this blog about the last flight we’ll likely get information on the next flight too. I wouldn’t expect anything until the end of September to be honest. I struggle to see anything before that at the moment.
I just hope the next flight is better.
Just want to test out the optimisation for PC with BTB maps.
Because my PC:
I9 9900ks
RTX 2080 Ti
32GB DDR4 ram @ 3733Mhz
Resolution and FPS cap - 3440x1440p and 60 FPS.
Struggled to play the technical preview smoothly. And no, not every setting was at ultra. It was a mix of high and medium. And those were very small maps.
Imagine the big open areas in campaign performance wise…
On the note of the next flight dates. My guess is sometime this month.

apologize for my ignorance, but i’ve seen a lot of posts that “H:I hasn’t been optimized yet”, implying that it’s harder for your system to play it at higher limits right now. If that’s true, then it wouldn’t be true-to-life until launch. Thoughts?

I agree. At launch it will change. But by how much will it change for the better is my worry.
Game is only 3 months away from launch. And they got a whole year delay. The bulk of the optimisation could have been done by now.
Unless they can improve performance by 100%. Game is going to have severe performance issues for PC players. And the very high recommended specs for PC appear to confirm my doubts.

I believe they addressed some of this concern in the last video blog they did. They stated the build we played was a few months old, and that the next flight should see around “20-30%” improvement (don’t quote me on the numbers. I’m extremely sleep deprived at the moment). So hopefully you’ll see better? I’m on an XSX - so it is what it is for me, I don’t have to worry about system requirements (but I also can’t just go out and buy bigger and badder) X’D

Us PC gamers are in a pickle. The new and better graphics cards have scalped prices and are rarely in stock. So it is very expensive and hard to upgrade currently.

In a digital foundry video they found that the game was like super under utilizing the gpu and cpu so that could be why there was so many performance issues

This ^^^
PC performance has been addressed, 343 had made a optimisation error with PC for the first flight, this has since been addressed.
The game should be running much smoother by a good margin now.

but not full bore yet. So like a fine wine, it’ll only get better.
