I think, personally, its the only logical thing to do to learn from what happened to cyberpunk. I really do hope there is a beta available soon for all platforms so we can all see what to expect and to obviously help 343 polish it up. Seems like something silly to NOT want, but honestly I think at this point we NEED it.
Forgot about the flights happening. As much as it is beneficial for every platform to get the flights, I still believe the original Xbox one should be the priority.
They told us forever ago that we’d get to flight it, covid happened and then they decided to not do the beta because of time constraints, and now they delayed the game to polish it up more. Now they have that time to flight it. I’m thinking we’ll get our hands on it, hopefully on all the consoles and PC. Probably around June 2021.

I think given the extra for development we’ll see flights or, and a public beta. That does not guarantee a better game though. Many, including myself, thought the Halo 5 beta was better than the final game. I’m all for it though, they get meaningful data and we get the opportunity to provide feedback.
They already said there will be flights? Check the community update and the December Infinite update.
It would be pathetic if there wasn’t a beta. It would say they have no confidence in their product.
I think they confirmed flighting in the December update, which is basically a series of betas.
Any hints on it flight is PC only?
I’d prefer to flight on XSX…
Wow cant believe I missed the info about the flights… yea you guys are right tho but I really want the last console to be the priority in this. If any platform needs this type of head start, its the original Xbox one.
I just hope they really consider our feedback more. Last time we had the Halo 5 beta, and it played just fine, but they catered to Pro input way more, a few out the masses of average halo fans that enjoyed the beta how it was… They jacked up the aiming and other changes. They been trying to fix the aiming for months on months because there were many complaints about it not feeling natural and frustrating to play

Catering to the “pro’s” mostly because of the money ESports generates. Wouldn’t surprise me if the same is done again this year since in the latest community update (or update within December) had a LARGE focus/section on ESports and basically said that there will be monthly updates in regards to Esports as well. I know people wont be too thrilled if these updates are larger than the promised monthly Infinite updates…

We certainly need proof and testing that this game can work on last-gen consoles.

Exactly my thoughts as well…better to have an idea before hand rather than have what happened with Cyberpunk. My god would that be awful…

Also, selfishly, I’m not getting the seriesX till the game comes out. I don’t want to miss out on a flight/beta.

Muh man…same story here!
of course with such a long time until the game releases i think it would be only logical to do so

This mostly also hope its the case the flight/beta is about 4-6 months before release so they can actually get some community feedback and get an idea of what is liked/disliked in the build.
Rather than use it as marketing just before the games release

I’d hope the beta/flights are going to be sooner than that. According to the approximate release date, I kind of hope that we get something in February/March for multiplayer beta and then again July/August. Really flesh out the multiplayer, give the community time to give feedback and then the Dev’s time to calibrate, come back with the calibrations made and hear the community on those fixes. Have a really good game at launch that the Dev’s/community are proud to put forth as their Halo.
Realistically I’d be happy with one flight…happier with two though 
I agree that a couple of flights is best.
The first one is going to get bogged down in the salty tears of classic vs enhanced movement.
I think we need the first one to get that out of the way. Let people have their hissy fit. They then have time to work through the various stages of grief so that when the second flight hits we can all work on improving Halo in that direction.
Yea they should do a beta, but comparing this to cyberpunk makes no sense. I get what you’re trying to say but this will be online multiplayer and cyberpunk is single player. It’s not like they could have released a beta for that game at most it would’ve been a demo which is pointless they already had crazy pre-orders, it was just they didn’t have enough time to fix it.

There is no official info regarding the platforms that flights will be on. However, based on the last “new” Halo game (Reach being added to MCC, not really new but it’s the best we’ve got) that got flighted all platforms were included. I think it would be monumentally stupid to not have flights for all platforms supported.
