Halo Infinite insider, flight test, beta....available to all today

In their truest anti-consumer form, Microsoft has finally made the Halo Infinite beta open to all who wish to play...but at certain times this weekend. You also need to download the Halo Inside app and access the beta through there instead of just a traditional download through the Microsoft Store.

"The latest Halo Infinite flight runs between Friday, October 1st and Monday October 4th, starting and ending at 6pm UK / 10am PDT, with daily matchmaking taking place at the following flight times each day:

First daily matchmaking session (Friday, Saturday and Sunday)

• UK: 6pm to 10am (BST)
• Europe: 7pm to 11pm (CEST)
• East Coast US: 1pm to 5pm (EDT)
• West Coast US: 10am to 2pm (PDT)

Second daily matchmaking session (Saturday, Sunday and Monday in UK / Europe)

• UK: 1am to 5am (BST)
• Europe: 2am to 6am (CEST)
• East Coast US: 6pm to 12am (EDT)
• West Coast US: 5pm to 9pm (PDT)

To clarify - you can play the flight's Academy modes anytime between 6pm UK Friday to 6pm UK Monday, but you can only access matchmaking during the above times."

Game modes:

"As well as a Training Mode and Weapon Drills in the Academy menu, as well as a chance to test out elements of Halo Infinite's progression and battle pass system, the following modes and maps will be available during matchmaking periods:

• Slayer
• Capture the Flag
• Strongholds (Arena only)

Open beta open to all? :O

game looks great btw, I don' t get why fanboys keep slagging this game's graphics off.

Do not forget to verify the fruit physics. If they haven't improved, you know 343i is a bad developer.

I thought you'd have don that when you played it last weekend.

I played it last weekend, graphics are fine, game has an old school Halo feel to it minus the grappling hook.

Awesome! Wouldn’t mind giving this a go myself. From what I’ve seen and heard about it the game seems excellent. Definitely hyped for when it launches myself. 😁

Console owners need to download the Xbox insider hub on marketplace and the game is a 22gb download.

Iconic game, iconic multiplayer and Iconic music,no wonder cows get butthurt by it

I've had access for it for a while now, but I just haven't felt like trying it out yet. Not sure why. Maybe the lack of friends who dig Halo to play with. Got one Halo nut, but he has completely abandoned MP. Guess I just have to solo pwn.

sadly no news about SP campaign and game is coming in 2 month.

I did not, which i even said. Completely forgot lmao. But i am assuming its the same.

Spare me this horse crap. MS is as anti consumer as I am Chinese.

Yeah bro having a beta run today from only 1 PM EST - 5 PM EST while most people are at work is totally pro consumer

@mysticaldonut: the beta runs thru Sunday... How is that anti consumer.. it's a BETA TEST!! The time windows are most likely to get as many people on at the same time to stress test the servers..

lol

beta runs Friday - Sunday but not really because it's at specific set times

Pass I'll play splitgate instead

I don't think you understand the definition of anti-consumer and that's evident.

You'd have to actually game in order to play it and we know you're a fakeboy that doesn't game on anything. Go honor your bet clown

I got 97% achieve in hades working on 100% on steam doing great gaming my friend have 150 hours in it

Honestly? I wasn't impressed. It wasn't bad or anything, but it's trying way too hard to be the crucible in Destiny 2 and it doesn't do nearly as good a job. The big open maps don't go well with capture points or death match type modes.

I don't see myself purchasing a premium battle pass either. I'll likely just play the game for the campaign.

Why is it so popular calling somebody else as a non gamer on SW as of late. Five or so years ago, you never heard this, but in 2021 alone, i must've heard it at least 30 times on here. What's going on, kingtito. I would like your opinion on the matter.

If you're not a gamer, you're... not a gamer. SW is full of fakeboys, shills, blind fanboys and trolls. None of those descriptive labels qualify one as being a gamer. If you spend more time shitting on everything at SW all day than actually playing games, then maybe you're, I don't know... NOT a gamer.

You make no sense. Or maybe its your own made up standards.

If you don't want to see fakeboys, shills, etc, maybe you should stay far away from System Wars. That way, everyone you will talk to is a real gamer with a badge that he/she wears proudly. Try Resetera. Might be your new home.

Or maybe I'll just post the way I wanna post, call out who I wanna call out and talk about games the way I wanna talk about them. If you don't like it, you can go somewhere else, pal.

lul wut? Since when did you see me complaining about anyone on this site? I couldn't give a crap what you post or to whom you respond. You're the one i see almost on daily basis crying about people posts. You sound like someone who'd enjoy Nazi moderation, that's why i suggested you to visit Resetera.

PS: Ending with a "pal" made you look very edgy. WOW!

You clearly have a problem with my posts, always @ ing me but that's a waste, because I have all notifications turned off because GS is always so broken.

The truth is, you are not a gatekeeper of SW and can't tell others how to behave while here, and I am free to call out shit behavior and will continue doing so. Shitting on and looking down on non-gamers is a lot of fun, turns out.

Calling strangers as non gamers when he/she might very well be playing five times more than you do, is pretty smart, turns out.

Show some proof of it or don't wasting my time. And I wouldn't call a percentage of the posters here something they aren't, just the trolls, shills, fakeboys and blind fanboys who deserve it.

Believe it or not, there are real gamers who post here and don't behave poorly with some nasty agenda. Funny how the latter tend to stick around while the former come and go regularly.

Proof of what? Am i supposed to know every stranger in here? I said "migh". You don't know, nor do i, so don't assume that they're "not gaming" because they shilled for Sony or MS lmao. And if you were referring to me, its guaranteed that i stick to games for much longer than you do. The only difference is that i don't buy/play anything and everything that comes out.

@hardwenzen: non-gamer, casual gamer, bro gamer, what ever you wanna call it. I'll stop shitting on them when you stop shitting on games and systems you've never played.

NO DEAL.

@shadyacshuns: This little one is a gutter level troll who has been busted lying on multiple occasions…..not worth the energy

@sealionact: Would never lie, especially to you, dude.🤭

@sealionact: He's a fun troll, nowhere near gutter level. I do get surprised how people don't get he's trolling and engage but among the local fauna he's not that bad.

I came in trying to see some feedback about the game, not this high school drama fest. yeesh. get a room.

I played a match in the big game mode whatever it's called. It was ok.. Kind of expected more to be honest. But it's free to play so it's got that going for it lol.

People still don't understand this is "system wars" and not "games discussion" forum lol. I think I grew a pimple reading these comments.

@ghost_of_phobos: Fun trolls are fun. When common garden variety trolls like this one or Protuss get busted lying, they dig themselves a deeper hole by denying. Haven’t really got time for them…too much fun elsewhere.

@joshrmeyer: shut up and be cereal.

Never was a big fan of Halo multiplayer but I hate to say this is really good.

@ghost_of_phobos: Yup, there’s going to be so many clips of grappling hooks and repulsors….the game is a blast.

Played a few games and like it better than Halo 5 multiplayer,that’s saying a lot because H5 mp was fun and was better then Bungie ever done for multiplayer experience.

I'm still splitgating it up don't need halo anymore no portals no buy

Big Team Battle has been so much fun. I am loving the new weapons.

@sealionact: Already seems some crazy stuff. Such a brilliant map too.

@kingtito: right. Because everything must accommodate all people. Talk about self entitlement
