Battle Rifle starts on btb:

No br starts slows gameplay down tremendously.

The randomness of one side of a map not having any battle rifle spawns, while the other side has them is so bad for gameplay (especially for objective type game modes).

The amount of times I have seen 3+ people waiting at a single br spawn is crazy.

This one issue has been said by every BTB player I have talked to. Every other halo has br starts for a reason. Larger maps have more range, and you need to be able to counter off spawn. Having to try to scavenge a br from a spawn while competing against teammates and enemies (or worse, there is no spawn because of randomness) slows gameplay, and puts those alive at a large advantage creating landslide victories.

** I cannot stress this enough**
Battle Rifle starts for BTB

Vehicles:

Randomness of power vehicles and ordinance drops are another issue. One side can get a tank, and the other a chopper or something. Both sides should be the same, or only one in a central location. Love that they come in sooner in matches though.

Banshee needs more health and needs slower regular travel speed (without holding stick back), while also having the ability to boost and do flips at the same time. How much more health depends on how agile it is, and right now it is terrible.

Chopper needs more maneuverability.

Worthogs just need maps where they can free travel instead of being stuck on 1 lane roads the whole time.

Wasp is great, just needs other vehicles up to its level.

Tank needs its movement controls adjusted

Ghost seems perfect.

Gungoose seems good. Maybe some positive adjustments but nothing that bad with it right now.

Writing this as a long time btb player who loves that btb is now up and running and trying to provide feedback to help the game succeed. I know this stuff takes time, but I am continuing to repeat these changes that the btb community are in agreement of.

These “weekly updates” are just BtB, ranked, or the store. Like seriously, is that all you have to talk about?
Bot backfill should be VERY low on the priority list

If you’re gonna reset our ranks then you may as well bring in new ranked modes so I can play stuff I actually want to play. If I have to play one more ranked match of stronghold or oddball I’m going to scream.

Yes, backfill difficulty should be low priority, but it can’t be that hard to change. They should absolutely fit in the easy, low priority stuff. You know, like the cyber showdown cosmetics that should take 10 min to fix?

Can we get a rejoin option for games that we’ve crashed out of in ranked? Not really sure why it’s not there.

We’ve seen how they play out tho. The Tech Tests before the game came out had Bots with various difficulties.

Either way, I personally think Bots are just an annoyance.

Rejoin feature for ranked games please! Atleast until the crashes are solved on PC

Will we lose our rewards for those that got to Oynx?

-Since I grinded in this mess. Even when my MMR made sure I would lose, to abuse a friend’s ranking to help surpass it. To finally bypass when I won, it would go up…and not just stop 1-2 matches away from Oynx.

Could it be? Are we finally getting an slayer only ranked playlist? Please tell me it is that!

Yeah, the ODSTs were still pretty cake. But I don’t think I’ll see any 1 kill 18 death bots with the ODST ranks. Spartan difficulty is probably the more appropriate difficulty, at least in my experience.
I think back filling with bots is a great idea, as long as they play at least at a similar level to the player that dropped, which obviously hasn’t been the case thus far.

Rejoin for ranked crashes and updates about fixing the crashing on pc in general need to be prioritized higher imo.

Like most I would like to see more playlists;

In particularly for me

Ranked playlists with a (bigger) radar….
FFA
Slayer
Objective

On the reset

As well as keeping the HCS Arena playlist.

What’s even worse is that according to a bunch of tests conducted by a guy on the Halo subreddit, BOT MATCHES influence how easy or difficult of matches you will get placed in in competitive. Which is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard being in a main title Halo game. Even more dumb than them adding SBMM / CSR / Hidden MMR in BTB and Fiesta. So… if you do y’know practice matches against bots or practice against real players in Team Slayer, depending on if you do well or not in those lobbies, you’ll get better or worse lobbies. So… you can literally “sandbag” your matches to get easier, or literally f*** yourself over by s***ing on bots because lets face it, ODST level bots are pretty easy to fight against.

I would really like to see adding the ability to rejoin a ranked match if dropped, and no CSR hit for a DC teammate.
