MCC Insider - Flight 3 Phase 2 Feedback - MP

This is a response to this thread: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/84ad72a8b51847978545f685f651fc15/topics/mcc-insider---flig...
since I can no longer post at that joint and I guess for anyone else who either hates Waypoint and or was banned from there.

I never read into the specifics about this new matchmaking system but I think its safe to say that it uses region lock like some other newer games?

This is both GOOD and BAD at the same time. Its good as every game I so far played was near perfect and was a high quality experience since there was no lag, delays and other magical unfair stupidity happening like in the current retail MCC. However, this
is bad because unless you're one of the 300 million+ Americans, like Modern Warfare Remastered for instance, you probably wont be EVER able to get into a game at all. Which has been my issue at the moment with Halo Insider and MWR.

The system will only work if Halo had bots like Gears of War 3, without bots, I guess if you live outside of the US you can forget about playing matchmaking.

MCC DEVELOPMENT UPDATE #5

FINISH THE FLIGHT
As of July 2, the current MCC Insider build has been updated with the latest work-in-progress bits, which now includes the FULL GAME!* Anyone who participated in the first or second flight should automatically get this update the next time they log in. (*Note that the MCC Insider build does not include ODST content)

This is a really important release for the team because it’s the first time the totality of the MCC experience is being made available to our Insiders for hands-on play. It’s equal parts exciting and scary as a ton of work has gone into the game up to this point but given how complex MCC is and how much it has to offer, the team is also bracing for a much higher volume of feedback and any number of new issues that inevitably arise.

We’re considering the week of July 2 “Phase One” which is the start of Flight #3 EARLY ACCESS. The audience is being kept intentionally small – only the folks who were in flight 1 & flight 2 have access right now. With the help of this small group, we’re looking to validate the build, release process, and a large variety of things that haven’t been part of previous flights. Once this validation is complete and everything checks out, the next step (“Phase Two”) will be opening up the MCC Insider build to everyone in the MCC Insider Program.

Looking further ahead, we envision things kind of branching off and evolving the “MCC Insider Flights” to more of a persistent, ongoing “Test Realm” that will host ongoing updates and iteration to feed back into the retail version of MCC. That doesn't mean our MCC Insiders' job is done though or that feedback, surveys, and the like will cease.

Here’s an awesome homemade chart I made to help illustrate what’s ahead (apologies in advance to Jeremy Cook for this cringe-worthy work of art):

Of course, we have schedules and target dates internally but with this kind of work it’s really hard to pinpoint and given all the external dependencies with the flight performance and the unknowns we’re waiting to encounter, we’re not comfortable telegraphing real dates just yet. Overall, the better things go in Phase One, the faster we’ll get into Phase Two and so on…

If you haven’t yet signed up for the MCC Insider Program you still can and we’d love to have you. Check out THIS PAGE for more info and the link to sign-up.

The finish line, at least in terms of the first big update, is starting to come into view and we couldn’t be more excited to bring everyone along for the final journey. Stay tuned!Click to expand...

New avatar system

It just rolled out to the Beta ring in the Insider Program so it's slowly moving it's way through the testing phase. Lots of feedback will make these Avatars the best they can be for when the full release comes

you should discuss it on the Halo forum not here.

Well if you actually read my post its for myself and those who cannot actually post there... Thanks for your insight on my information anyway (sarcasm)... The Xbox forums are for all games so I don't see why nobody can discuss anything
about games here...?

The dashboard is constantly changing and being updated and, aside from joining the Insiders program and giving your feedback during the testing phase, I don't think there's much we can do about it.
