Howdy!
I played Halo since the original and am so happy to be back into the action! After a few days I wanted to provide some feedback:
- Most important feedback: (When I die no matter how I die, it sounds like someone just melee hit me, I would like it when I die I get an idea of what killed me like a laser or shot.) Some times I die and have no clue if I was hit physically or shot to death as action is moving quickly and the sound feedback sounds like I was melee hit when I wasn’t this doesn’t feel natural and its really odd. I don’t like it.
Other general feedback:
-
I had issues with crashing on my RX 5700 XT even after the latest beta driver but today it appears to have gone away or I at least haven’t seen any in the last 24 hours. It normally occurred when I went to the shop or into the menus. It never actually occurred once I made it into a game.

Play on an 3700X, RX 5700 XT, 3200Mhz DD4, Samsung 870 SSD and I get around 70FPS on high as per your system requirements but some times it dips to 30 FPS in some cases. Though my heat levels are very low. I think DLSS or for AMD FidelityFX technology would be a great use in this game. My problem with turning down the graphics is the grass looks like pure blur below high. My favorite levels are the out door forest types.

The UI for settings such as your key bindings the categories are difficult tell apart from options. The problem I was looking for my push to talk and kept passing it because it was a small option category. I would recommend to make the categories more visible such as changing the font color or changing the front size to be bigger.

I would like to see progress of the Premium pass I purchased a bit faster. I understand it’s 100 levels over 6 months of my life but I do have a life. I think 75 points per match is fair instead of 50. I played a lot today but I was 10% into level 2 and I’m still level 2 by the end of the day which is really annoying. I already purchased the premium pass for 9.99USD, another 9.99USD for a suit I wanted the (orange and black one) and 59.99USD for the campaign. Overall I want to support the game but as a customer I want that value to matter and progress is just too slow it doesn’t retain that buy in for me or that since I am getting a great value from the battle pass. I would also recommend a general ranking system out side of rank play something that shows off your experience in general that can just be a fun system. Ranked play can be the up and down rank system that resets every season while this idea is more for a longer term rank itself showing how long you played the game and gives a basic idea of how good you are but overall is more focused on showing off you put time into the game.

There was this capture the flag map on two platforms right across from each other maybe on a space ship environment. Really small map and it did not have a shotgun or swords. I really would like to see this. I think the game can expand a bit more on this end like some games have direct fire weapons, others have all weapons or swords/hammers only, good luck!
Overall what a blast it’s been! I remember when I moved out of my house in 2007 and moved to Texas with a friend to start our jobs at Blizzard Entertainment we played Halo 3? (I think) for days on this Plasma TV I rented from Rent-a-center some times 10-14 hours a day on our weekends. Just our lawn chairs and box tables in our first apartment. I now have a house and a family and it’s nice to be back playing with my same friends. Thank you so much!
