I’m fine with the lack of friendly fire since it reduces most forms of griefing, but would appreciate the return of player collision as it was something that needed to be accounted for and gave me a better reason than “I can’t see” for yelling at my friend when they park their spartan’s -Yoink!- in my face.
I don’t see it coming with release though as physics based mechanics can cause extreme issues if changes are rushed rushed. I’d guess it would probably be a couple months at best to see that changed.
I can do without friendly fire. Team killing is at an all time low. Already encountered plenty of randos who have shown that they would love to kill team mates. One less frustration.
As for collision. At least bring it back for opposing players. Melee fights are a fuster cluck without it.
Well, for me, this game has headed in the wrong direction, and I won’t be spending a cent.
I’ve been especially waiting for the Campaign, but that desire has gone now. So I won’t be buying this until later, or at all if things stay the same.
EDIT: Also, just thought of something. I was wondering why sometimes when I throw grenades into a group of enemy players, no one gets killed. Well, with lack of player collision, could be they are all just running through each other, avoiding the grenade, where otherwise would be less room to move. Some might think this is a good thing. To me, another example of how it breaks the gameplay.
In all of my custom modes I “TURN OFF” stupid friendly fire. Why? We don’t play the game for money. We don’t play in a Competition. We play just for fun!
Well this didn’t age well, 343 and their awful engine probably can’t add collision without it blowing the game up. This game is so poorly optimized I don’t think the net code and dsync will ever be fixed tbch. I gave up on this game pretty much, it’s only tolerable with friends and even then it’s an annoying chore.
