Halo Dev Tracker

We've gotten some great bug reports, but sure, it's a fraction of the audience. It's too be expected though and I do think all of the key issues are covered. The challenge starts to come when we have much lower volume/percentage of tickets for an issue compared to the noise we see on reddit/Twitter - in that case, it's tough for the team to really understand the scope (is it just a few people? is it really everyone? are these people even actually in the flight?). This is a new resource for us building out our own dedicated support/ticketing site - we're learning a lot along the way and this should become a really great tool for us and players moving forward.

Curious on the latest status of the Halo: Reach PC flight and what's next? Check out this week's Insider update HERE.

RIP "no-name Twitter user named Josh." How is this "news" ? :)

Technically it's no different than the 25-30K people who are playing in the PC flight right now. These folks will basically be playing the flight.

Nope. We're making great progress, but Reach is not launching next week.

Just re-confirming that no progress or unlocks from the flight will carry over to the retail release.

Nope. Sorry.

The progression system and values definitely weren't final in the flight - and I doubt they are yet, TBH, but the team is using flight data to help inform tuning. Glad to hear the initial adjustments are being positively received!

All of the issues being reported around mouse input/latency/'feel' are absoutely still being investigated and worked on.

Good to hear! Appreciate you taking the time to play in the flight and share feedback.

Possibly - still TBD at this point.

For sure the team is taking the whole thing seriously. Server latency-related reports are also a top priority for the team and a number of things have been happening behind the scenes as they keep working on this. As for matching NA most of the time, I do think that's largely due to the vast majority of the flight population being in NA. But we know this is a longstanding pain point for players outside of NA and it's something the team isn't giving up on. I do believe eventually (potentially post launch) there will also be a manual option to just select a server of your choice (though you'd likely be opting to wait longer for a match). The mouse issues being reported by players are also a top priority. It's been interesting seeing some of the work-arounds and solutions some players have been trying and reading that some have seemingly dramatically changed how mouse feels. Heck, some players even thought we stealth patched the game because it 'felt so much better!' (nothing has been...

Definitely something the team is working on - my understanding is that this is utilizing a shared platform level service so there's some intricacies and potential hurdles to work through regarding implementation. I do believe this is working more aggressively than intended - but regardless, FWIW I personally would prefer 'on by default' and the option to disable. We'll share more info when we have it.

Yep, it's been flagged and forwarded. The team is actively investigating reports of server latency.
