First off let me say that the Halo 5 Guardians Beta is surprisingly fun and competitive!
-Buttons are not responsive: for instance, when I click “A” to sprint (on Bumper Jumper) half of the time I need to press it once or twice more because the command didn’t register the first time. It’s not just sprint though, scoping in and the charge functions have some difficulty registering button clicks as well, or so I’ve noticed (i can’t speak for everyone!)
-Truth: It’s difficult to distinguish where you are on the map “Truth”: For example top Carbine looks identical to top Pink. All in all the map “Truth” just blends together in a really weird way and I think more work needs to be done to the side areas (Carbine and Pink) in order to help players distinguish their positioning on the map. Also I really don’t like the beveled walls on the Green Streets, please consider bringing back the mini Tunnels! Lastly There is no power weapon Bottom Middle! There needs to be a shot gun or a rocket launcher bottom middle to help counter the Prophet’s Bane!
- Empire: It’s an okay map; it kinda plays like a labyrinth sometimes. This map definitely does NOT need two snipers. I would recommend replacing Closed sniper with a shot gun or a rocket launcher in the future.
-Sniper: The scope of the sniper when you are NOT zoomed in is way too big and clunky (Worse than Halo 4’s!). It also fires way too slow, especially since the rest of the game plays so quickly, the sniper just isn’t useful and can’t keep up with the pace of the game. Lastly there is an issue when you zoom in, the reticule shifts in a weird circular motion that throws off my aim if I am trying to quick scope (or relatively-quick-scope)
That’s all I have encountered as of now, I will keep playing though and I will probably keep updating this post, if not posting new threads!
