A lot better than I thought(First Impressions)

I am surprised

This is my early first impressions after a couple games.

-The game is a lot better than I expected. It’s VERY well balanced.

-I thought the thruster pack would make the game harsher and harder but it didn’t. It is a very good and balanced ability.

-The sprint balance is PERFECT in my honest opinion.

-The ground pound is useful when somebody is camping in a corner. It’s not overused.

  • The smartscope is not like the other generic FPS games like COD. It adds a feeling of recoil(not too obvious) but with the pistol, you really feel it because it is a short range handgun. I like that.

-The map design is very well done. It’s not too fast paced. It’s all about map control and strategies. Even if you are in 2 vs 4, you will still have a chance to win the game. I like the way we can blow up shields at the top center of the map on Truth.

Now the little problems

-On Empire, I hate seeing kids camping when a power weapon is about to spawns. I beleive it is to add more preasure at the spawn area, so you have to do strategies to get the weapon. The countdown starts at 30 seconds. Maybe tweak it to 20 seconds

-I don’t like how the sniper feels, it feels heavy and slow, especially when you’re scoping and descoping with YY. But the aiming is good.(Very Early thoughts)
-The little beeps are a little bit annoying. They can be useful when you actually kill somebody

That’s pretty much it :slight_smile:

Sniper looks bulky and clunky again, the Wall E sniper design again.

Yeah, the scope is too large IMO.

Sniper look and heft is so far the ONLY complaint I have. Well that and I’m too high to play well right now, not 343’s fault though. :smiley:

Sniper may be big, but it’s a big improvement to Halo 4. The better field of view combined with the fact that they moved the sniper’s position seem to make it a much better gun. I can’t speak on gunplay because I haven’t played yet. Also the way it looks is up to opinion so I can’t comment on that.

I must say, we have to play with it more often before we judge it

Sprint has to go

Nope. It’s so well balanced that I no longer see kids running around to save their live. All you need to do is BOOM headshot.

Just remove countdowns all together, I mean, if they like the game they will learn the spawns.

I dont like the countdown, its to much, maybe at 5 seconds? Sprint is horribke as usual.
