Halo Infinite notes on XSX 4

Halo notes 4 on XSX

  1. General

Overall, i believe the game has a very high ceiling in terms of possibility. I’d like to see the game grow exponentially and sustainably.

I would support growing the team working on the game and investments going towards the game. I have not yet broken my boycott on purchasing more credits. I am hopeful to continue supporting the games additional content as improvements continue to be made.

2.Store/customization

I have changed my mind about armor coatings. I had thought that with the addition of armor coatings it would streamline the production and distribution of coatings and colors and give players agency over their spartan. Currently, armor coatings are being misrepresented in rarity, underproduced and are also difficult to acquire. Players have too few options and many of the combinations for colors and textures provided thus far are unexciting. I would support either the increased output of coatings or a decision to rework armor colors and textures entirely.

Chest pieces are unaffected by armor coatings which seems like a bug or a missing feature.

The store feels like a miserable place to be. I believe that everything should be unlockable by playing. Store items should either be very unique or provide an opportunity to acquire items that you were not able to unlock when they were available.

I enjoy the weekly passes and feel that they should be standard. Dedicating 10+ hours for 200 credits worth of content can feel insulting. Weekly passes are significantly more rewarding. Weekly pass content should be added to the store for those who miss out.

Daily login bonuses would be a welcome addition. Even if they are just a single challenge swap.

3.Gameplay

Mode specific challenges are still a bummer. There are so many possibilities in what challenges can be made based on player capabilities, medals and the available sandbox. Influence how I choose to play, not what i choose to play.

Please provide players concrete values on CSR. How much is each tier? How much is gained/lost for each win/loss? What performance statistics enable growth? Is there consecutive win/loss bonuses/punishments? I noticed a large spike in growth when getting medals like remote detonation and overkill. How much CSR is gained for medals? If i don’t understand the ranking system, i’m less inclined to participate.

4.Sound

Sound rarely crashes mid match. Not certain what triggers the event - i believe it has to do with grenades going off and dying around the same time. It has happened to me on 3 separate occasions. The game functions normally with many sounds not working as they should.

5.Settings feedback

N/a

6.Weapons

I always regret picking up the commando. I think it’s peak performance is fair but the skill floor for the weapon is too high.

7.Maps

Qp behemoth should have the ranked power weapons spawns. Especially since behemoth is out of ranked.

8.Bots

N/a

9.Hopes and Dreams

You don’t need multiple topics for this, you can keep it in one thread
