Intended for 343i as a way to express my feedback.
While there are many pros coming out from playing the technical flights, here is my feedback of things to improve or points of concern:
Weapons
-AR is too powerful, often losing fights at mid range when using the sidearm and often when using the commando
-BR shoots too slowly, either increase the rate of fire to that of H3 or H4 BR…or increase the damage output
-Sidearm needs to inflict more damage or have more ammo in the magazine, or have no bloom whatsoever
-Sniper should not have bloom when no-scoping
-Plasma pistol needs to behave the same way all other Halo plasma pistols and have an EMP effect (I know this is being fixed)
-Pulse carbine…never used the gun. I am sure a lot of people didnt either - bullet travel is too slow
-Bulldog needs a damage buff desperately
-Commando’s bloom is a tad bit too much.
Vehicles
-Ghost is way too powerful. Either lessen the total health/damage taken to destroy the vehicle (similar to H4) or lower the damage output. I was more scared of a ghost than a hog, wasp, or banshee. My friend who is decent at halo, ranked up 30 kills will using a ghost in Behemoth. I do understand that there are shock weapons and grenades to counter the Ghost, but not a lot of people use them.
General areas of improvement
-Radar is useless! The range should be at the standard 25m and not 18m. I tested a match by diligently using the radar and it didnt show enemies well.
-Audio issues galore! I couldnt hear foot steps or noises that the enemy team would do (jumping, running, walking, pickup up a weapon etc.). Audio issues paired with radar issues was me playing blindly every single encounter.
-Grenade indicator, if a grenade indictor is present to notify you of a success damage being dealt, then their should be an indicator of a grenade nearby you (like H4). I would prefer is there was no grenade indicator at all.
-Glinting of scoped guns - no scoped gun being the sniper, BR, commando, Skewer, and etc. should have a scope glint. This just gives your position away and just benefits those that dont have good map awareness.
-Double reload glitch, when you run or walk and reload at the same time, you go through the reload animation, but there are no ammo in your magazine, which results in the reload animation happening again. This is particularly annoying in close combat!
-The death (x) indicator has to be bigger for your teammates
-Better notification when you pick up an equipment from a dead spartan
-When you have an equipment already and try to pick up overshield or active camo, you have to select a different button to get these powerups. There are so many times where I want to quickly grab a powerup and cant do it because I have hit another button to grab it.
-Aim/hit register is horrible. I have been many of times, killed behind walls. I specifically play using mouse and keyboard and not going to go into detail about my internet speed and custom built 2k computer. There is awful hit registration.
-Aim assist, if console players get aim assist, then mouse and keyboard should get aim assist, especially with the headshot damage multiplier in this game.
-There should be an option to filter for just console players and mouse and keyboard players when playing match maker, having options for users is great
-Whenever I changed a setting (specifically the push to talk button) in game, my game would crash. This was tested with a friend and the same thing happened to them.
-Multiplayer MMR, in social, I dont believe there should be a hidden MMR, but for ranked/competitive it should be the case.
-BXB glitch (but know that has been taken care of)
-The shield equipment is way underpowered and should be the same strength and speed as the campaign variant displayed at the latest E3
