I like how Uny's meme sneaked its way into the community update.

I can neither confirm nor deny that /u/Unyshek asked why I didn't include his meme so I had to add it.

Once you get an invite to the flight, are you in for all of the following flights for Reach?

Great question - I think the current answer is... maybe? In general I'd tend to think that yes, active participants in a flight will be rolled into the next flight (while people who no-show / don't participate, would be removed). But there could also be scenarios where the flght goals and focus changes so much that it doesn't totally make sense to include people from a prior flight.

Love to see communication like that from devs.

Will the first round of flighting have an NDA?

Current POR is looking like no NDA will be in place so expect plenty of streaming and bragging to occur. ;)

I'd like to see stuff tied to achievements from previous games, like Reach did via the original Waypoint app. In addition, maybe something tied to total Halo gamerscore as well, like the career milestones. I'm working my way towards getting every Halo achievement, it would be nice to have something to show off in the game.

it's been loosely discussed - I don't think the team will be able to get too crazy, just a lot of legacy dependencies on aging services. Personally I think it would be straightforward to identify someone who has 100% achievement completion on MCC, for example, but more nuanced accomplishments in older games will be more challenging.

Will you still get the item if you reach 152 after Halo Infinite comes out?

No idea, since this was sort of ad hoc revealed on last year's live stream, the final implementation and actual plans haven't been locked. I'll flag this as an open question - to me, it shouldn't matter when the rank is earned, playing is playing and the time was still spent - but I'm not responsible for designing the system. :)

This has been mentioned before, but just to reiterate - the grind to 152 is very intensive and time consuming. Real talk that there's no way that whatever the team ends up offering as a token in Halo Infinite will truly equate to the amount of investment needed to get there. While we do still want to recognize players who have reached max level in Halo 5, the team is also looking at other criteria and ways to also acknowledge activity and tenure in other titles and milestones (MCC, etc..).

We're sure cutting it close to make good on the "Insider flighting will begin in June!"

It does sound like the pre-flight has passed so fingers crossed this will get underway this week. I did want to reiterate what I've been saying everywhere - the first flight is going to be SMALL. Like a drop in the bucket small, compared to the vast amount of Halo Insiders we have signed up. The reality is that the vast majority of folks will not get into the first flight and as such I'd expect there to be a good deal of frustration and disappointment. Please just remember this is a marathon, not a sprint (no, we're not porting Marathon to MCC). Getting the first Insider flight out the door is a huge milestone and things should start picking up in scope and pace afterwards. The number of people that get added to future Insider flights will grow over time along with the scope of what's being flighted. The first flight will really be an updated and more polished version of the E3 demo - ...

Awesome.. man I loved WinAmp. I ran my own streaming internet radio station via WinAmp for a while - truly high tech stuff. Granted I was the only "listener", tuning in from work at the time.
