Alright, so 343 decided to not send me a survey for god knows what reason, so I’m throwing my feedback here. This all ranges from bugs to personal opinions about the game.
All feedback is based on the Series X version of the flight.
Bugs and Issues:
- Prostheses won’t load properly if going from transhumeral to transradial to hand. Works find from the opposite direction. Will load in if you leave customization and return.
- When in settings, screen will randomly flash white when moving to a new setting.
- Sprinting in a weapon drill makes the game look tearish, almost as if frames were dropping.
- If you pick up the weapon too fast in Weapon Drill, the gun holder won’t go down.
- Plasma pistol hit detection won’t detect charged shots sometimes.
- Hit detection with skewer will sometimes not work.
- Hit detection with ravager will sometimes not work.
- Map and Mode details don’t show anything, not sure if not put in or not.
- Melee doesn’t do damage at times.
- Audio will cut, then game will crash.
- Joining in a match when it is starting will play an intro animation for just you, no music, but the teammates still have the team animation.
- Weapon drill won’t load, will kick you back to main menu as well.
- Store will say I’m offline, still lets me buy stuff and explore store. Will also not load most of the store’s thumbnails.
- Game won’t connect to server until a restart occurs.
- Menu background and some images will fail to load.
- Pictures for some unlocks won’t load.
- Clicking the start button after holding it down to open chat will close chat, have a big rectangle up on the screen for a few seconds, and will keep the “start button symbol” under the chat logo circled until clicked again.
- Not gaining XP from matches, only challenges.
Personal Opinion- bullet magnetism needs a slight buff - Camera will sometimes not follow your character but just show a wall.
- When in the season progress menu, the mini season progress bar at the top right of the screen is still there.
- Joining a game late will muffle your audio.
- Ragdoll is underwhelming with a lot of stuff, yet is insane with melees.
- Reload animation won’t play sometimes.
- No sounds when shooting will occur sometimes. Fixed by stopping the shooting process and starting it back up.
- The Spnkr will shoot but the rocket is invisible.
- If you stand on the doors in the firing range and move around, your footsteps will appear on the ceiling.
- Grenade hitboxes are a mess. Would sometimes not take any damage from them being at my feet, would also take damage from halfway across the hallway and on the other side of a wall.
- Hit detection against players won’t work sometimes.
- Cancel search won’t cancel the search.
- Misc. Objects, such as barrels and planks, can be clipped through if pushed against a wall and walked into.
- Scoping in on smoke from an extinguisher will make the smoke invisible.
Person Opinions.
- The Heatwave seems a tad bit too weak and inconsistent. Would recommend buffing the damage of each pellet by just a small amount.
- 2XP timer should only drop when in a match. This would allow for players tp get the most out of a 2XP boost and make the 100cR booster pack worth it.
- The Drop wall needs to have more HP. This thing could have significant potential, but you can destroy it almost immediately.
- Bots need improvements on multitasking and task prioritization. Their gunplay is great and their movement is sharp, they struggle a lot when it comes to multitasking, usually stopping or getting stuck in a loop that involves numerous tasks, as well as stopping one action to do another one even though both can be done simultaneously.
- Bullet magnetism needs a slight buff. While a lot of us controller pros don’t need it, we are not the majority by a long shot. Newcomers will have a rough time with the precision weapons and aren’t hitting anything with them with the current level of magnetism. Just a small buff is needed, not too much though.
- Gravity Hammer and melees shouldn’t count towards accuracy. These aren’t guns, they shouldn’t have an impact on how accurate you are.
- Don’t put players into a big-losing match ever. Every shooter does this and it’s baffling as to why. Just put in Spartan-level bots instead of ruining a random player’s fun.
- The Pulse Carbine is hot garbage. Like, it might be the worst weapon in Halo history. I would actually rather use my fists. This thing needs a huge rework, one that drops that god-awful tracking.
- AR needs a recoil increase so it isn’t a beam at medium and long ranges. As of right now, an AR can outperform a BR at long range. That should never be the case.
- Gravity hammer’s impact sound needs to be more gravity-like and heavy. Make it sound like the weapon to subdue Zeta Halo
Other than these, Infinite is fantastic and I really look forward to what the team can do!
