Halo Infinite Beta Thoughts

Art:
I like the mix of Reach and 343 designs. It’s not perfectly balanced, I’d like to see more CE influence, but it’s great so far.

Movement:

I don’t mind the sprinting or clamber. I am ok with the mix of classic and modern mechanics. I am not really picky. I would suggest that maybe make sprint a power up instead, like Speed Boost. And increase the base speed to mimic CE’s.

Assault Rifle:
The gun “walks” as you fire, I don’t like that. I also think the accuracy could be fixed. Damage wise, it’s not terrible, just buff it a bit.

BR:
Pretty fun to use. Just make the reticle a bit bigger.

Rocket:
Same as any.

Skewer:
I have yet to use it on vehicles. But, it is fun to use.

Heatwave:
It feels inconsistent if I will hit my target or not.

Ravager:
Increase the arch and I think it will be even more fun than it already is XD

Sniper:
It took some getting used to, but it’s fun. It was easier after messing around with the offset.

Pistol: It doesn’t do enough damage and the accuracy should be increased. I’d suggest you guys make it a 4 shots to the head type of gun, but I would just use the one of the OG pistols instead.

Commando: I like how it’s automatic, but I’d suggest they make the reticle a bit bigger. It’ll make it easier. It could use a damage buff.

Needler:
The TTK is good. Make the projectiles slower so they track similarly to CE’s. Infinite’s for me had inconsistent locking.

Bulldog:
Fun to use, but just use one of the OG ones, 343. Seriously…

Gravity Hammer:
The swing is too slow.

Plasma Pistol:
Could use a damage buff. Also sounds like a pew pew gun.

Pulse Carbine:
Great to use, like how it tracks. Only thing I’ll say is increase the projectile speed.

Grenades:
I feel you guys need to increase the throwing arch to be like CE’s. Outside of that, they do good damage.

Customization:
It’s fun, I just don’t understand why they can’t do a color graph system like Soul Calibur, especially allow us to change the tone of colors. And since I’ve mentioned colors, give me jet black. Allow us to color individual parts of armor.

I like the idea of different body types. I would love to have 2 options for each gender. For example, the females can either have a body like Kat or Vale’s, or have a beefier body like Tanaka’s. The guys can have a basic male build or a bulkier build like Jorge’s.

Extra thoughts:
Weapons overall sound ok, I just would love to hear some more OG sounds. Make the BR sound like Halo 2’s, give the plasma weapons more of a kick than just “pew pew”, and maybe give the AR that beefy MA5B sound.

I don’t like the battlepass system. I don’t like the idea of being forced to get things in bundles instead of individually, based on how MCC does things. Why not just do the credit system like Reach? It is grindy, but all you have to do is make it to where it won’t take as long to reach max rank. Just speed it up.

Overall, it’s extremely fun. Thank you for letting me play, 343.
