I would like to start off by saying this game feels more like a Halo game then Reach and halo 4 did in my opinion. Yes it has evolved, but it is closer then the other 2.
I will start off by saying I am enjoying the beta. I dont mind the addition of ADS, the clamoring, etc. The gun play itself is there. The two maps we are playing currently work, although I do think there is some sight line issues in Truth.
Her are some of the gripes I have. I dont think they are game breaking (Like load outs, and EXp rank were for me). But none the less I feel the game would be improved even more with a couple of changes.
Unlimited Sprint. Ok I accepted the fact there is sprint, and honestly it was needed in some maps (Valhalla comes to mind) but having it unlimited is not ideal for me. I seen matches in truth with people just sprinting around the outside like it is a skaing rink. Why cant the sprint be tied to the battery pack and when that depletes you can’t sprint? I just dont understand why it has to be unlimited. I see an open door for greifers to just sprint around the whole game and not play properly.
AR- I am seeing conflicting opinions on this. Some people want it nerfed, others think it is fine. I really just think the accuracy is to great at mid to long range, and it shouldnt be with a fully automatic weapon. For example I was in red window and got taken out by half a clip from the AR at Mid. I mean that is half way across the map. He was the only one shooting at me. I got taken down so fast I didnt even have time to turn and take a couple shots witht he BR. That is just one example, but I think you get the point. The spread needs to be larger at range, just like all auto weapons should be.
Button mapping. I am not a fan of the Button Layout for Bumper Jumper. I would really enjoy it if the crouch and sprint were switched, but it would be even better if we could map our own buttons.
As far as the game goes I understand this is a beta but the hit boxes and head shot boxes are way to large. I watched a lot of kill cams with me dying by AR and in the kill cam the guys bullets are shooting left of my shoulder and missing by a couple inches but X’s are coming up. I been getting head shot sniped “One shot Kill” form the sniper in the chest and a couple inches about my head according to the kill cams. They just seem a little to generous, but that could be just the code isnt finished yet.
To finish off I am really enjoying the beta and just feel that the small gripes I have could put it over the top for me. Just thought I would share.
TLDR- Great so far. Unlimited sprint should be cut to sprint with cool down. Ar accuracy needs to be nerfed at range. I would like to map my own buttons. Hit Boxes way to generous.
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
