Here is my feedback for the Halo 5 beta so far:
- Remove the delay on the sniper scope and make it feel less clunky
- Remove flinch while you are being shot when you are shooting from the hip
- Remove the hitmarker sound, a ping when you kill the enemy is fine
- Place back the shotgun on Truth
- Make the Halo 4 Controller scheme the default one, in my opinion it fits the game much better (or atleast making RS the standard zoom button)
- Nerf the SMG a bit, it’s a bit too strong at close range
- Nerf the AR a bit, it’s overall a bit too strong
- Increase the base movement by 10% like on Halo 4
- Remove floating when you aim at an enemy while you are in air
- Reduce the amount of Medals
- Reduce the amount of power weapon announcements to one, so one announcement before they drop
- Reduce the accuracy improvements of smartscope on automatic rifles like the Assault Rifle and SMG
- Option to turn off controller vibration
- Reduce the brightness and size of the prophets bane
- The shield recharge sound is a bit too loud and has too many high tones in it. Make it more similar to the health recharge sound from Halo: Reach
- Add more lightning in Spartan Hub and ofcourse textures on the spartans when the full game launches
- Consider taking out Ground Pound, I haven’t even used it once. It doesn’t feel like it fits the game.
- Remove Spartan Chatter sentences like Nice Kill and Thanks for the Assist.
- Add more Armor customization like Shoulders, Legs, Arms and maybe feet as well? ( I think the beta just offers a limited amount of armor customization but I just mentioned this to make sure 343 gets this feedback ).
- In the full game, add a matchmaking menu design similar to Halo: Reach ( the one in the beta is pretty good though )
- Maybe reduce the fire rate of both the Battle Rifle and DMR a bit to increase the kill times a bit
- Add Covenant weapons to the map Truth
- Remove the Killcams
- Remove the respawn music
This may sound like I have a lot of complaints but I don’t, I just want to make sure 343 gets all the feedback they need to make sure the full experience is going to be even better. I really like the Halo 5 beta so far and I think it’s a MASSIVE improvement over Halo 4. If you would excuse me now, I’m going to play Halo 5 again!
