I would like to start by saying I enjoyed the halo 5 beta and I believe that 343 is doing a very good job with halo 5 as well has vastly improved since halo 4. I wanted to give all my feedback from the beta but mainly the things I felt needed worked on, it might seem like a lot but I wanted to get my feedback out there and that is what a beta is for anyway. Be sure to post your feedback here as well… 343 is watching.
Feedback:
-
automatic weapons are more effective when zoomed and ranged weapons are not, that should be switched so automatic weapons are less effective zoomed and ranged weapons more effective
-
magnum smart scope has too much clutter and it’s hard to aim and hit target (make a simpler sight when ADS)
-
remove “ping” for every shot on target
-
sniper needs to have a clearer and simpler scope when ADS instead of the blueish sight
-
remove “wind effects” when sprinting so they only last a few seconds and aren’t present throughout an entire sprint
-
need to somehow fix when sprinting and going to melee someone you bash past them maybe making bash activated by pressing thruster forward at maximum sprint
-
brighter menus
-
return digital ammo display to dmr as like it was in reach or halo 4
-
reduce the repetitive announcements for power weapons
-
menu bug that causes Spartan to be pink and when equipping new armour pieces they become blurry
-
add the ability to view other players Spartan characters while in lobby (perhaps like halo 3)
-
prophets bane is too bright and causes player to not be able to see surroundings well
-
remove or have the option to turn off kill cams
-
in my opinion Spartans are better as silent Heros who don’t say much, I would like to see a return to that rather than the “bro” Spartans we are seeing (I do enjoy the call outs that the Spartans make but for campaign I would like to see Spartans as silent badasses)
-
On Truth make it so the prophets bane only spawns only once the other has been used so their is only one on the map at a time.
-
AR smart scope needs to be made to look more like an actual ADS of the AR rather than a holo projection to the side of the gun
-
remove sprint reticle
-
music after every death gets repetitive and annoying
-
remove “kill” metal
-
Reduce range of AR while in smartscope current range of hip fire is fine
-
make sniper sound louder and stand out more so player can know if he is being shot at by sniper or get an idea where fire is coming from
-
spawn system on Eden causes you to spawn in the crosshairs of the enemy
-
issue when searching for a game with 2 people only one person finds a game and the other is sent back to search for players yet it still says the other player is in your fireteam
-
on Eden you can get picked off from random locations way to easily
-
reduce rate of fire on BR
-
reduce grenade blast radius
-
Eden is way to open does not work well with BR starts
-
don’t like how screen blacks out immediately after death, allow it so we can see if we killed our opponent after tossing a grenade just before death etc.
-
BR starts take away from the gameplay as you no longer have to hunt for a BR or DMR when playing.
-
return original rocket launcher design
-
rocket has too much of a delay after reloading
-
in strongholds the capture timer needs to be bigger and more noticeable it’s hard to tell how close you are to capturing when it is so small
-
should not lose CSR points if your team leaves you match
-
bring back some simpler armour designs such as in reach an halo 3, Athlon is a step in the right direction in my opinion
-
allow for players to return to menu after searching for a game
-
lighting on the forge maps sometimes make ammo count on the BR to be invisible
-
please allow us to forge destroyed vehicles as an asthetic map feature
-
snipers don’t work on empire in my opinion
-
maybe allow us to customize Spartan voice?
-
not a huge fan of sniper design but I can live with it but please please please bring back original rocket design
-
found shoulder charge pointless, would prefer just a melee
-
silence the smg and return mag to side of the gun (maybe a beefed up version of ODST smg)
-
instead of the announcers whole speech for slayer maybe simply make him say “slayer, destroy the enemy team” or something along those lines.
overall I feel like 343 has done a great job with the beta and has brought about needed changes and I can’t wait for final release.
