Hey everyone.
The third flight for Halo: Reach on The Master Chief Collection has begun. Please direct discussion and feedback here.
Hope everyone enjoys the flight.
Update: The download for this Insider should be 5 GB. If your download is 45 GB, that's the build for the last time Xbox had a flight. Cancel that download and restart your Xbox to see if that gets you the 5 GB download.

thanks!
Will we be seeing centered crosshairs on the Xbox as an option?
it's been disucssed / on a list, but I dont believe it's been committed to for launch.
I haven't really experienced many issues with the flights besides a few bugs. Besides that. It's been running smoothly. It crashed once or twice. That's all the issues I had so far with game crashing bugs, there are two I noticed, I've been binge playing it, thank you 343 <3
if you haven't already, reporting those crashes via the support site would be super helpful!
I literally can’t get it to download the right build of insider.. still don’t have reach. I followed the instructions in the e mail to a T. I’ve hard reset the console 3 times. Any tips??
it's been an issue for some folks (myself included). I unenrolled/re-enrolled and power cycled by console multiple times last night and it finally worked. Hope yours eventually did, too
I felt the same issues on my end. I only played 3 or 4 matches last night but some things like melees felt a bit off
If you have clips/films and can report via the support site, that would be super helpful for the team. The more information and specifics, the better.
I'm enjoying the flight very much. Can I post videos on here that show bugs? It's hard for me to explain things.
it would be super duper helpful if you can also post those issues to the support site / file a ticket. (but we'll keep tabs here, too)
FYI - We just doubled the size of the audience for this Xbox Halo: Reach MP flight. If you're a registered Halo Insider who opted in for Xbox flighting, please check your inbox (and spam folders) on the email account you signed-up with. More info HERE.
So I'm curious, are you guys still on track to release Reach by the end of the year? I do appreciate all the dev updates and stuff, but it doesn't really give a good indication of how much work you have left.
We've never given a release date or window yet other than "it's ready when it's ready." Things are going pretty good though, but these flights (and more importantly PC, since it's new) will inform a lot about the work ahead, remaining issues, etc..
Something i've noticed with MCC Reach is the Weapon icons on the HUD, and when you get pick up prompt, don't look the same as 360. In fact, it looks like a sort of hybrid of the beta and final versions.
The weapons also sound more muffled in the MCC and play only one sound, rather than alternate variations, when fired.
Here's a comparison by ODST Brian
Hope these issues can be resolved for the final release.
are you able to also report this via the support site? One, we are using these flights to also test that new site and how it operates, etc.. but two, it gives a more direct line to the team. Appreciate you flagging this, thank you!
I just got out of a few matches of social myself though.
If you were logged in at the time the playlists were swapped, I believe you still have access to the old file until it either caches or you log back in. I imagine this is why you were able to keep playing with other folks who were actively within social when they made the switch.
I got an Invite and I cant wait to play but if I try to download the mcc insider app on my xbox all it says is redeem code and I sont see anything in the email. Help me please :)
what's the gamertag?
I'm very excited to try out Invasion tonight. I played 4v4 slayer on Wednesday and it was an absolute blast. I played a lot of Reach back in the day and it feels good to come back.
Everything was buttery smooth and the graphics looked amazing. The only thing I'm having trouble with is the aiming. It feels different...from what I remember.
I feel like I'm overcompensating the aiming and moving around wildly even on default sensitivity. Although to be honest there are a bunch of reasons why this could be the case including the fact that I'm playing on a much bigger TV than I used to and because I haven't played halo in a while :)
Good to hear you're enjoying it! And for sure, you're also playing at 60FPS now and depending your monitor, many also have a bit more latency with HDR enabled... among other possible considerations. :)
