Jeesh, these guys sure know how to pick their weekends. First flight I just got the keys to my new home and was busy renovating and this flight it's going to be moving my stuff over. Hopefully I can get an hour or two in, especially because it's BTB.

Do those flights usually have a pre-load, how does it work? I'm sure they'll send an email invite sometime this week

Invites are sent out on Halowaypoint DMs with instructions on how to download. Emails are hit and miss, I never received an email on one account last flight even though it was in.

Super excited, won't be available for the second weekend but glad there is going to be such wide availability for people to play. The matchmaking windows will be super fun.

Did I misread or did it seem like there… wasn't going to be a ranking system at launch outside of progressing the battle pass?

Progression is Battle Pass only at launch, which they've been saying and reiterated here.
We have heard community feedback around wanting more progression options including things like "match XP" to feed into the Battle Pass and an entirely separate, incremental system along the lines of earning SR152 in Halo 5: Guardians. Expanding Multiplayer progression offerings is something the team is actively exploring, and we look forward to continuing to evolve the experience in future seasons post-launch.

Excited to jump back in. PvP is on from the get go this time correct? Bots weren't bad but the end of the last test was soooo much fun.

Oh snap back to back flights with the second one focusing on BTB? I'm excited, hopefully they fixed the optimization issues on PC from the first flight.

I know they had reiterated the only way to earn XP was through challenges, but not having a separate ranking system was news to me at least.

Elsewhere though it seemed like there are skill rankings for ranked (?) so that's something.

a bit disappointing I guess that not even bots are available

HOWEVER limiting it to specific times is great news for me as someone trying to focus on studies..

The 2x XP being active outside of gameplay is so against their "player focused" goals that I have to laugh.

The way the system is set up it would make more sense for the next 5 to 10 or so challenges reward 2x XP, not just a 30 minute window.

I order off US websites but I'm not American and don't live in the US, so that sort of program isn't available to me.

I just need to catch it on stock at Amazon or something. I got a PS5 there back in December, but haven't had luck with the X.
