HALO INSIDER - XBOX MULTIPLAYER FLIGHT

The recent Halo: Reach flight for MCC on Xbox One has officially concluded! ske7ch made a post on our Halo Insider forum to talk about the feedback process and outline some of our next steps. To those of you who were able to participate in the flight, we truly appreciate you joining us for a week filled with Halo: Reach shenanigans!

Our Publishing Team is now taking some time to analyze the data we've collected from this flight, which contained Invasion, regular Arena settings for various team sizes, as well as Hardcore settings. Since our goal was to "validate Halo: Reach multiplayer networking through the matchmaking flow and during gameplay," we selected different game types and lobby sizes to get as much coverage and testing as possible. We should be able to share out some of the results in our next Community Update or in one of our Weekly Flighting Updates.

Now that begs the question, "What's next before we officially launch on PC and Xbox One?"

While the team evaluates the data from the Xbox flight they are also preparing to launch another multiplayer flight for PC to make sure we validate the matchmaking flow works for players there as well. Be sure to keep an eye out for weekly updates on the progress of this upcoming PC flight in our dedicated Flighting Update thread here on Waypoint!

MCC DEVELOPMENT UPDATE - SEPTEMBER 2019

Last Monday we released September's MCC Development Update, which provided a closer look at the entire project and highlighted some of the challenges the team has been working on recently. We also clarified some confusion around the migration of Xbox 360 Forge Maps to MCC, dove a bit further into the in-menu Customization screen, discussed the implementation of Easy Anti-Cheat, and much more.
