I didn’t get a feedback email so this seems like as good a place as any to throw my thoughts down.
TITLE SCREEN / MENUS / UI
-
Overall, it needs work. Many people felt the customization screens were too hard to navigate. - Needless to say, please make the ‘settings’ persist through game restarts. - The “players in lobby” or the “party” needs to be more obvious or anchored to a different location. I want to see who’s in my lobby at a quick glance, not have to open more menus. - Please separate the “Spartan UI” voice volume from the “announcer” volume. Hearing “Frags aquired!” And “Wow you’re quite lethal with that!” And “Nice shot!” was incredibly annoying. I ended up turning off all announcer audio just to shut that up.THE MAPS
-
I’m not a big fan of the maps. It’s clear you tried to make the maps revolve around the weapon / equipment spawns, which is good, but none of the maps don’t have a “map control” type of area.
Without a “map control” type of location, players just end up running in circles.THE EQUIPMENT
It’s OK. I’m very glad spartan abilities have been replaced by equipment pickups. I’m also impressed you removed loadouts. Well done.
WEAPONS
-
AR needs nerfed. - I’m not a fan of bloom, so I would rather there be no bloom. But overall I think the bloom needs toned down on everything, it makes the commando and the pistol feel inconsistent. - The BR is perfect don’t touch it - Rockets are weak. Grenades are weak with a weird blast radius. Sniper shoots slow.SLIDING / SPRINT / CLAMBER
-
I don’t like sprint but at least it has been nerfed and given a niche use, for sliding, rather than just letting you zoom across the map. The slow speed is good. - Clamber is trash and removes all skill from movement and jumping. An entire skill-aspect of Halo has been removed.GAMEPLAY
-
Weapons despawn almost immediately after you die and drop them. This is bad. They don’t need to despawn and respawn on the rack immediately.That’s about it. Fix the frame rate and optimization.
