The Campaign HUD is rather distracting simply because it takes up a lot of the screen area and it feels somewhat complex in its design to make it feel like you’re wearing a helmet
Most of the cutscenes feel equal parts awesome and super cheesy at the same time. I would love the return of more sophisticated and cultured cutscenes such as those seen in Reach for example
When pressing down on the D-pad, i wish it could show me a lot more info like weapons and grenade locations than simply waypoint data (tap for waypoint, hold for more information on map, etc)
Respawn timer, for at least Slayer should reduced a little, makes me feel like im being pulled from the action. I like 3sec, but could be 5sec, etc
The dialogue/narration can sometimes be really epic and inspiring at times, other times it sounds like a real flop (marine/comms) but the main characters are good, its the smaller characters dialogue which stink
When im in customization, the spartan looks rather silly with his/her head pointed down into its chest
UNSC Sniper scope still needs to look better
When turning my spartan in the custom menu, the animation should be a helluva lot smoother than it is now
I only really noticed this in customs menu, but when im going down the list for color/visor and such, when i select one of them, could be any, and when i back out, the “cursor” selection needs to stay there. So say i selected color, and press B, it should be on color still
There should also be a way that when I’m changing my colors, that i can pivot/turn my spartan as well
Forge needs to be eliminated from public/default matchmaking, i didnt pick up this game to play on mediocre map visuals. I would love to see the full beauty of the game every match i play
The way the shields recharge and how its tied to sprinting should be coherent or the same in campaign as well
The brightness/contrast/saturation for when i customize my spartan should look EXACTLY the same for when i get into matchmaking. Looks cool in menu, looks different in game
I need to be able to see my connection type easily and quickly in a match or even while playing co-op
Cortana’s mouth while talking is a bit funny, there her mouth moving, yet i see little to no muscle activity in the face
At the very beginning of a match on a forge map, when the camera is active, the frame rate is terrible compared to the default dev made maps. Weird shadows also appear in places they shouldn’t be, or appear drastically different from the perceived surfaces
Ranking, Credit system, and how you unlock your gear was super good in Reach, and I would love to see that return.
I think the “armory” system that was in Dominion in H4 needs to be in Warzone. Also barricades, emp blast
Arena loadout should be swapped for Battle Rifle and SMG instead, it would make it feel or have the illusion of a more competitive environment
1-50 ranking system was way better than this ranking system (if it ain’t broke, dont fix it)
The REQ system (not warzone) is ‘ok’ but needs to be overhauled, i like the surprise feeling of opening up a Gold pack, but wish i could pick and choose what i want as well. Looking at RPG games or of similar genre could really improve this REQ system you have already (I want to be addicted, so to speak). I really dont like the whites/gray common stuff, i would like if it was geared more towards growing out the appearance of our Spartan’s armor and weapons, also please bring back armor effects, that would be nice
I loved the concept or idea back in Reach, where players could really craft and draw out their Spartan, after which you could play with in the Campaign and Multiplayer, i would love to see that happen again, and it would make me feel i have more ownership to this game, my dedication is rewarded, and that energy/time isnt just rewarded to just half the game
Warzone is not enough, Firefight needs to return, i still feel like its only Campaign and Matchmaking taking place, campaign has minimal replay value once completed, and Arena is too competitive once played enough. So Firefight please, i want that back, its fun and really never got old for me
