Playing this beta has made me really sad… The reason is that 343 spent so much money to “work” on this game and it feels like a Halo 5 remake. To start we get horrible maps, that are poorly designed with bugs that some times make the game unplayable; especially on Live Fire. The map has no balance or symmetrical sides but just random spawn points for the other team to spawn behind you. These maps are flat out trash. I pray that on launch they give us at least 15-20 maps because these three are not it. I have many more rants I can go on about these maps but I’ll save it.
Next, we have the game movement and shooting in this game. I want the feeling like it was when I 4 shot’ed someone in Halo 3… But they way the game looks we won’t get that anytime soon. Every time I shot someone it feels like I have to empty my entire clip into them. Please work on the weapon balancing… because in the state of it its trash and an AR should not kill you from million miles away. We also have an bug in the game were I can BXB someone, killing them before they can get one shot off or beat down on me. If this is meant for the game, slow down the beat downs or something. We now go on to the Overshield. The Overshield is a joke and should not be in game if getting shot at any dying is the same as it with regular shields.
I have so many other complaints… but if 343 keeps listening to new Halo players and trying to make the game like Fortnite, it will not last very long and probably not be played by most of the Halo OG’s that loved the game until Reach and then fell off. Please take a step back and fix things that need to be fix, not implement a new tool to try to fix an injury that requires surgery with a Band-Aid.
P.S. The new map that gets release tomorrow, “Behemoth”… from the looks of it, it has vehicles for a 4v4 arena play… Please stop… Having Warthog wars is not fun unless in BTB as this map seems to look like its for.
