They need to have it in an absolute polished state after the fiasco of MCC launch on console. Even things like the Jackal shield would look really bad. Plus people say they had some crashes which also can't happen.
Alright so I was invited but I have 2 emails. I got the invite on my gmail account and my XBL is actually a hotmail account.
My question is that since my gmail got the invite, does 343 know that my gamertag is my hotmail account? It's important because they said that if you do not participate in any flighting you won't get invited back.

Oof… good question. I wouls assume it would be the email with the gamertag attached but honestly I have no idea. I'd message one of the guys on Twitter or something.
Checked my spam folder, no insider invite, but I did find a lovely offer from a sweet Nigerian prince offering me a million USD for just a small acceptance fee. Guess I'm a winner!
I need to figure out how to change the language of this thing. It defaults to my system language which is Chinese, but the build is very clearly not done on the localization part so I see placeholder strings all over the place.
It shouldn't matter. They just give you a code for Steam. Once you actually get into the game then you have to sign on with a Microsoft account.
Chances are the beta build doesnt have multiple languages.
Evade borders on broken, especially when I have a grav hammer.
Yeah, evade is pretty dumb atm. You want to evade off an incline or decline then you jump. You'll gain a massive amount of momentum and you can keep this momentum going if you time your jumps correctly. It's kind of like Quake when you want to time your bunny hops. This wasn't possible back on the 360, it had too much input lag and the controls weren't precise enough. However, with kb/m and running at decent frames it's showing to be broken.
You can move faster than sprint and still shoot. lol

Seeing as the email said we could share footage, I figure I'll leave this here for people who want to see it in action at 4K:
I think one of the more stand out aspects of this PC port is frankly the thing I've notice nobody talk about, the new netcode for Firefight. It's so nice to finally be able to matchmake a game without having to worry about all the input latency from the old lockstep code. And frankly I'm impressed with how well it works (Jackal shield bug notwithstanding, betting it's just some kind of missing snapshot trigger that needs to be put in place) considering the reason why the lockstep code existed in the first place.
If this carries over to campaign co-op, and even the other Halo games rather than just Reach, then frankly I'm more hyped for that than the rest of the PC port itself.

I've gotten the old host migration screen in about half of my games and our points were lost when it occurred. I'm glad it doesn't have the jittery-ness that it did on the 360, but there's definitely some kinks from my perspective. Also I think the base map is based on the campaign version of the game because there's a section behind the base where you can pick up Armor Lock.
Kinda surprising that they managed to put in an uncapped framerate setting into this build, because didn't they say that this will be something that they'll look into after the game launched? I imagine this will please a lot of people.
Anyways, watched a stream yesterday and the person managed to push 144FPS on his 1440p/144Hz monitor with no real issues.
His specs were:
AMD Ryzen 7 1700
Nividia GeForce GTX1080
16GB DDR4 RAM
Can you (or anyone else) try to do this on the map:

absolutely. i like the variety of gametypes, but id even settle for slayer only. why does quick play limit the map list to only coli, truth, and plaza again?
Welp, can't find my Halo 4 disc. Only thing I had in Reach was one of my first forge maps, which... oof, not so good.
Just watching a bit, but I feel like the lightning strikes in the sky need to last a bit longer or something to look right at 60 FPS, something feels off with them
The only halo 3 forge map I put any considerable time into was an absolutely garbage rendition of a 3 story house where it looked like a child made it. It was pretty fun for FFAs though
I loved making maps in Halo 3 Forge that had one of those constant explosion piles somewhere in the middle.
Free accounts have only 6 file share slots for H3 and Reach, and 24 for H4, so i opened 9 accounts with the $1 Game Pass Ultimate special. MS promptly shut down 6 of them due to the 'suspicious activity' of moving files. After days of back and forth with MS support they are still closed. So frustrating dealing with them.
I ended up moving about 230 map files.

People are modding the FireFlight like crazy already. Playing things like Generator Defense and (Elite) Slayer, spawning vehicles on maps and I also saw somebody with a picture of Boardwalk in the lobby, but not sure if they actually managed to load the map. Certainly interesting for future mods.
This sounds unfortunate.
This sounds unfortunate.
Huh. I was able to have 24 on my free accounts, but the caveat is that I used free accounts that existed in 2009. I got all of the Bungie vs the World maps plus a couple others from Halo 3. Reach I decided to pick a handful of my favorites and just dealt with what I couldn't get. I also grabbed a couple of maps that had frame rate issues to see if it was then engine failing it or if it was the Xbox.
Apparently, the actual map files are not in the build.
The worst part of this account fiasco was that i had to spend days examining each map and making tough cut decisions on each. For every Grifball team which had custom courts i built a 4v4 court, a Neutral Host court, and a Live Broadcast court, as part of their package. I ended keeping only the 4v4 versions. The original plan was to simply copy everything over, and sort them out later without spending 3 days having to open each file.
The real issue now is that i have to get the accounts open so i can turn off the recurring billing or i will be out $85 for receiving absolutely nothing.
[edit] Tried once again to reactivate by phone. Got this message
Message with the code comes an hour later. Code has already expired.

wait, can you customize the spartans, but not the elites? Why?
that first link has some sounds that could be like the pro-pipe or be mixed for grenade or standard explosions
Bruh, that's Reach
also,
None of this stuff is final or was supposed to be seen
Is it? Could you not customize your elites in Reach? I totally forgot.
Iirc you only pick your type. Like ranger and general and whatnot.
Okay, then let me redirect my line of inquiry
Dear Bungie from 8 years ago:
