I hope you're right. I'd hate to miss out on this one and break my flight streak.KenniTDG wrote:Do keep in mind, since they intend to invite EVERYONE, it is gonna take some time to get all invites out.

After having seen you on the Reddit thread (you're actually the guy who responded to my initial post, heh), I'm quite let down to read this. I don't understand why the information given out beforehand wasn't correct; if there was even a slim chance of missing out, it seems terribly dishonest to claim that - as I've seen said in multiple places - you "will" have an invitation.Mace ya face wrote:FYI for you guys, support got back to me, and they've refused to help. They said they're, "unable to give flight invites", and just told me to make sure I'm signed up to flights. So it's nuke. 343 mislead, actually, out-right lied again and are now just doing nothing about it. Top notch
Again bud, "AAA" studios/publishers. They'll say/do/show anything without a thought and damn the consequences. In the case of MS specifically, FH3 had a post-launch issue of false-positive bans. I was one person hit by that. Though if you brought it up in the forums, your thread was locked by a moderator with a cookie cutter response. Once it got to hundreds, they started swearing at and threatening users before banning them from the forums too (also occured to me. Was called a f***er and banned because I had made a second thread two days after the first was locked). Once it hit thousands, it took over Reddit and PCGamer and KitGuru made articles. THEN MAGIC! All of a sudden, there was an issue! And support could help after they said they couldn't!BGbot wrote:After having seen you on the Reddit thread (you're actually the guy who responded to my initial post, heh), I'm quite let down to read this.

Thanks for the information, though. I at least know not to bother getting my hopes up.
You were right, I just got a notification saying I'm invited to the flight.KenniTDG wrote:Do keep in mind, since they intend to invite EVERYONE, it is gonna take some time to get all invites out.

I believe the source for this comment is this tweet from ske7ch, where the wording is very specific:Erik Njorll wrote:Just got this in an email after signing up for the insider program:
"However, this means not all Halo Insiders will be selected to participate in every flight."
Looks like the "everyone will be invited" is NOT true.
Emphasis mine - there are various things that can prevent you from being invited to a flight, from not signing up in time, incorrect profile details to enforcement bans on your account. The only change in Halo 4's flight process is that the initial invites went out to all the eligible members they had on their list, instead of doing it in smaller waves like they did last time.Quote:Every eligible Insider will be invited to the upcoming Halo 4 flight (Xbox and PC)!
