MCC Development Update – June 2020
Author: misplacedyank,
published 4 years ago,
Welcome back for another lengthy installment in the MCC Development blog series for June, 2020. We have a LOT of content to cover this month, everything from the recent flight and what folks were able to experience there to details on new features players will have when Halo 3 launches. We’ll also touch on this month’s announcement that Halo 3: ODST Firefight will be coming to MCC (it’s finally happening!). Then we will go into a technical breakdown from members of our engineering teams, conduct a lengthy interview with the Design Team, and get an overall project update to close out the blog.
I hope you are hungry for information because this month’s blog has a lot of meat on its bones!
[h3]HALO 3 FLIGHTING[/h3]
One update, two extensions, and nearly 350,000 Halo Insider invitations later – the Halo 3 PC flight came to a close on Monday. During this flight, the team got some great feedback from our Halo Insiders who submitted tickets, roughly 4,000 tickets in total. With the scale of players and tickets, along with the types of tickets being created, Halo 3 seems to be shaping up solidly on PC. In the flight update that was released last week, the team was able to knock out nearly 100 different bugs, including these two:
[list][*] Improving muffled audio sounds for weapons and VO
[*] Resolving player emblems so they appear accurately on character models[/list]

Both bugs were items the team had been wanting to tackle for quite some time and are happy to finally have resolved. We are thankful for all the feedback and reports by the community during flighting and will continue to work on resolving issues and making improvements where we can. We can’t wait to get Halo 3 out on PC!
[h3]HALO 3 ODST FIREFIGHT[/h3]
Earlier in the month, you may have heard some rumblings around Halo 3: ODST Firefight coming to MCC. We are all very excited, as ODST is next on the docket once Halo 3 releases. Work has been underway for quite some time and the team has recently hit an important milestone in updating the networking model for its release on MCC. We’ll share more news on when and where flighting will happen in the near future. But, if you want a little bit more info on ODST, head on over to last week’s [url=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sonorous-signals]Community Update[/url] from [url=https://twitter.com/unyshek]Unyshek [/url] to learn how to get in on Firefight when it is released later this Summer!
