Do Fire Unicorn items obtained in prior games show up as other rewards in other games or is it game specific? Ex. I have the AR skin, does it manifest as something else across other games as well?

Game specific. The only thing we know for sure currently that is coming from Halo 5 for instance is if you somehow reached SR-152, there's weapon and armor coatings for you.

Anyone know if you can just chill offline with no enemies just exploring the map testing stuff? Or are you forced into the online matches vs bots.
I believe the Firing Range will be available, but I don't think there's going to be a way to explore the other three maps outside of a 4v4 match.

Lol, good luck with the codes later. I can barely access the halowaypoint website anymore already and nothing even happened. 😅

Have people already recieved the follow-up email detailing how to play and download the Technical Test? I assume we just download this through the Xbox Insider hub when it appears?

Let's go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for this all to blow over.

No one has received anything yet. Waypoint is struggling right now so your best bet if on PC is watching your email for the steam key, and if on Xbox, watch the Insider hub. The Insider hub has been how all previous flights were downloaded on Xbox.

Is it too late to receive an email at this point? I was in every other flight but haven't received an invite for this one yet sadly :(.

I still have no idea how I got into this. I played a lot of Halo back on the 360 but have barely played any since. Still excited to give it a go, though.

Thanks! The website actually says the test is live already, which is odd. Also strange they haven't detailed how this will work, or when it's starting.
it does? weird, I can't see that on my end.

then again, I had to step away for an hour and it logged me out of waypoint with an authentication error anytime I try to get back in, so it could just be me lol

I saw someone on twitter claim they got their code already and Greenskull has a live play session scheduled for right about now so I'm guessing the test is live but notables got their codes early and the rest will be rolled out throughout the day

Personally I have no messages yet on waypoint

Edit: Greenskull apparently doesnt know anything either actually the stream timing was just speculative on his part

Greenskull said he doesnt know when it starts. Just a estimate

I'm curious how stuff like this happens. Like is there not a way to scale up your website when you get traffic like this so it doesn't completely die? Or is it just unavoidable??

Maybe it's time to ask Microsoft to up the waypoint servers
