I am currently in the flight for halo infinite and have some feedback. I would like to know anyone else’s feedback and opinion.
In general I would say I am impressed with the game. I would say most of my issues are not too Big which is a good thing.
-
Sprint. I am unsure how I feel about sprint. I like how it is nerfed but I also don’t see the point of it being in the game if it is nerfed. It would be possible to just have slide with normal movement speed and not require sprint to activate it.
-
The academy. This is a great idea but I feel like it needs more. I also think it would be cool to have different types of stages and challenges. And lastly a free mode where you can just use any weapon, equipment, and vehicle to just run around and do whatever you want against non attacking and attacking bots. Obviously all of that might be too much but maybe it would be possible who knows.
-
Outline system. I understand why they decided to get rid of red vs blue and I’m not saying they should bring it back but I feel the outline system, At least as it is currently is too much. Not only are enemies outlined in red but they glow red when shot and have a red diamond above their head. Personally I think we don’t really need this. All you really need to know is who is on your team. Process of elimination makes the other people not on your team. Maybe this wouldn’t work out but I think it should be at least tested. If anything you should be able to toggle on or off the outlines even if it puts you at a disadvantage. Also when the outline is the same color as the shield color it is a little harder to tell when the enemy shields are completely down at least for myself. I don’t see the point of getting rid of red vs blue to show off your skins if you are covered in a bright red/blue line anyways.
-
Balance. I feel like the game balance is actually not as bad as some other games but it’s not perfect. First off the AR is just too good. It melts people. I feel like the range is fine but the close quarters time to kill is a bit too fast. The heatwave at least to me seems kinda weak. It’s cool but it is weak. I feel like it would be cooler with more damage/ better bouncing but a slower rate of fire. Obviously the ravager doesn’t really work properly in this build but it has some pretty non existent splash damage as well. I feel like the grenades and equipment spawn too often as well and the overshield and camo are just not very strong. I understand why the OS and camo are weaker now so maybe they should just have the classic version in the game along side this new version. And use whichever works best in map or mode.
-
Accessibility and settings. Obviously this game has some of the best setting options in halo but I do feel like more options could be useful and possibly just cool to have. Personally I’d like to be able to turn off hit markers. Maybe keep the kill marker but turn the rest off. Even though I don’t like the outline system it would be cool if you could choose more options for colors and obviously turn them off if you want. Being able to change your shield colors is kinda cool as a option (if they were separated from the outlines). You could have different shield colors from your outlines or no outlines and different shield colors just for fun. More colors would be cool for that as well. If you can change those things for accessibility why not be able to change your HUD colors as well. People have always wanted that so why not. Being able to change your weapon view model is awesome but if you are already going that far why not just let you put the gun on the left side of the screen or classic doom style middle of screen as well. I wouldn’t do it but why not the option.
-
customization. Obviously this game has the best customization so far but obviously things can be better. For one the menu is kinda bad. In general the menu has problems but the customization one is pretty bad. Why are the options in a horizontal row like halo 5. You know one day you will have a million visors to scroll through. Yeah you have favorites but still. It’s cool you can go and look at the lore of something but is that entire screen necessary. Why not just put the lore on screen when hovering over the option why do you click on it to go to that information. Obviously most of the customization is not in this build. But the menus are already kinda messy with just a handful.
Like I said mostly little things that can be easily changed. I do wonder am I the only one really disliking this outline system. I like the classic yellow shields but I don’t want the enemy team to be yellow team. And I want my shields to be yellow as well. But not my team also being yellow team.
I don’t think the game needs to be completely changed. And we all know it won’t be completely changed. I personally wouldn’t have made the game the way they decided to make it but that’s just the way it is no point in crying about it.
Let me know your opinions and anymore thoughts and concerns. Thank you for reading.
