I would like to start this off saying I LOVE THIS GAME So very much. I really see a lot of potential here and can’t wait to see the campaign. That said there are a few things I think could be improved or added to make the game feel better overall.
-
Is it possible to add an Avoid Player option and allow direct reporting through the scoreboard. My 3rd match I had some kid telling me I was trash, that I should “uninstall the game” and at the end telling me to unalive myself because he was “carrying the team”. People like this are why PvP has become so bad in not just Halo but Everywhere. I think in Halo 3 is where I first saw the avoid player choice. I could select to avoid player and not be matchmade with toxic or cheating players. Even when the game needed to matchmake me with them I would get a warning that “You have joined a match with an avoided player” so that I had a chance to leave or at least Mute the lobby. Another solution to this would be a kudo’s selection. Overwatch’s system comes to mind. Good Teammate, Shot Caller, and Sportsmanship. Then give us 2 Poor Sport Endorsements. If you get beyond 60% Poor Sport you would be put into Poor Sport Lobbies for the following week before your Poor sports percentage would be reset. It’s not perfect but it’s an idea.

Address Teamkilling. I think there should be a system I’ve seen before in CoD. Teamkill (by vehicle or driving a teammate off the map) should allow a “Kick from session” option. If it was an accident press X to forgive or press B to kick. Get kicked, 5-minute ban from matchmaking that stacks for 7 days. Doing Team kills once a day on day 7 you’re at 35 minutes of thinking about your life. It’s not often that Team Kills happen but, In my experience, they are deliberate when they do. I was in a BotBootcamp Lobby and had 2 teammates finding me trying to earn a sniper kill challenge and killing me with the Warthog/Mongoose. I must’ve been teamkilled over 10 times that match. Because of this I believe that some sort of punishment needs to be in place

As stated by many people an option to turn off cross input for general matchmaking. Let people decide for themselves if they want to play with people using alternative inputs. I know there’s talk of this already so I won’t go into it any further.
-
Please let us complete all challenges in BotBootcamp. People are ruining both ranked and regular matchmaking just to complete challenges. Avoiding the objectives or AFKing entirely just to do these. By allowing people to grind out challenges how they want, you would improve the overall game experience.
-
An increase to the Radar Radius. It feels like it’s too small to provide useful information right now.
-
Stability and Menu loading time. Please find a way to load my battlepass and keep it loaded faster. I have 1 Gb/sec upload and download internet speeds and it literally takes a minute and a half to load my player information and my battlepass progression. After a match it can take a full 5 minutes for my Spartan ID to load and up to 7 for my battlepass to pop up. Why is that?
Store Changes. I don’t know anything about how the store works but these are some ideas. If it takes a while to do that’s fine, and if they’re not possible at all I can understand programming constraints. These are strictly ideas or suggestions.
- Maybe give discounts in the shop for players that purchase the campaign. This incentivizes players to buy the campaign and play it.
- Give Daily/Weekly Campaign challenges that offer cR. Or maybe let Multiplayer get cR too? Give players 5 for playing and 7 for winning. Let us earn some of the cosmetics in the store.
Hope someone sees these things and it’s not just going to disappear into the forum void lol
