Did you get accepted into Flight #2? If not then you won't get access to Flight #3 untill next week sometime. If the email says your signed up to the MCC Insider Program then that does not mean you have access to the current flight as of yet.
The email, both the title and body, explicitly states I've been selected for Flight 3 ("Halo Master Chief Collection Insider Program: Flight 3 - CONGRATULATIONS SPARTAN, You have been selected to participate in our third flight of the MCC Insider Program."), contains a complete rundown of this current flight, including the dates and times for all sessions this week, a message saying the download may not go up until the 3rd and will remain until the 9th, and a link to confirm my play sessions for this week.

As far as Flight 2 goes, that's a complicated question. I never got the initial email for that flight, nor was I ever able to download it, but I received all other correspondence for the flight, including an email asking me to confirm play sessions and another email with a survey asking about my experience with the flight. So something's fucked up with my status in the program.

Either way you should get gain access to it next week.

Post / file any bugs to the pertinent stuff on Waypoint so 343 can see them. But it's truly a development build they are pushing out, so there's likely quite a few regressions. This isn't getting a "public image" cert pass

That's really strange. I played both Halo CE & Halo 2 campaign yesterday on the MCC Insider latest build, and never had any issues. Did you delete your cache on your Xbox One?

Is your game's audio set to something else than English ?

On my side Halo 3 (MP and SP) crashes the game if audio is set to French, had to put it to English (and put it back again after yesterday's update).

Anyone know when the LAN functionality of the insider program will likely be released to the general population?

Do you think in a LAN situation only one person needs to be in the insider program to setup the lobby everyone can join or will all members of a LAN party need to be in the insider program?
 

Oh no

Halo 2 campaign is working fine for me, haven't had time to try anything else yet.

The 1st retail patch is scheduled for late summer, so that's probably when it'll come to the general population, unless the LAN feature is broken or they delay the 1st retail patch.

As far as your 2nd question goes. The MCC Insider version is treated as a seperate game/package. You can't do LAN (or crossplay in general) with people that only have the retail MCC version.

yeah it's just strange because both of those things were working for me before, but yeah I jotted down the two different error messages I got and plan to post my problems tonight if it doesn't work again

I did a full reinstall and hard reset, but I did not clear cache, will try that

nah mine is on English, but that certainly is odd

we'll get there guys, I was just really really getting my hopes up its gunna be a 10/10 out of the gate and I know I should be more tempered

Melee cancelling was also added back, its definitely intentional to make it better for speedruns

Well, Halo 3 does not work anymore on my version, even if I set it to English.

Sorry for the 3v4 matches I caused, my game crashed on every Halo 3 map load.

Games look nice in 4K. Checked out H2A campaign and multiplayer yesterday. Some texture detail that was already there becomes more noticeable. One thing that is readily apparent after playing shooters on PC, the FOV is too narrow across all games. I'd love a FOV slider, but I doubt that's possible as there's probably clipping and messed up weapon models at expanded FOVs. In Halo Infinite it's absolutely something they can account for and they should definitely add in a FOV slider.

An FOV slider can create balance issues, I think it would just be simpler to expand the FOV entirely.

They could easily increase it in 2 and 3 to 85 or so like CEA is already, hell ODST has an expanded FOV as it is compared to 3 and plays fine

Tried to play in the flight today.

The MCC won't even launch, doesn't get past the splash screen. Not a great start.

Edit: finally got in.

Did Halo 2's aiming always feel this shit? The axis snap is ridiculous.

It's been years since I played, so I don't remember if they fixed it or not.

I believe it was working fine after March 2015 update. I remember hit detection not working at long range in H2's BTB before that update. If they accidentally reverted those improvements in a future update or new MCC, I wouldn't be surprised at all because Halo 1 aiming and hit detection was also a rollercoaster.

maybe it's because initially I installed stuff in and out of order, but a 100% full reinstall fixed my problems

edit: sees monkey post, yup.

I suffered through way too much teenage exposition but just finished Legacy of Onyx, that epilogue could have MAJOR future implications


edit: H2A cutscenes are perfection, my god.

GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY

When you first saw Halo, were you blinded by its majesty?

Any idea when Master Chief Collection might come to Gamepass? I just got an X1X, and really want to play this, but when I know it's coming to Gamepass, it's hard to justify $30+ for it. Hmmm. :/

I've yet to find a match in the latest flight. I wonder what the issue is.. I really don't want to reinstall the entire thing again lol.
