Basing my thoughts on playing on the XSX
Damn. We waited 6 years for a new Halo game, and it was definitely worth the wait. Gameplay feels clean and flows so well; a huge step up from Halo 5. Every gun feels overpowered which means none of them are overpowered (if that makes sense). Doesn’t stress me out to look for a BR or commando as the starting loadout is great for most combat encounters.
PROS
- Main Menu music is fantastic. I can’t believe I’m saying this but it’s definitely the best out of all the Halo games (ODST coming in at a close second)
- Settings options are absolutely crazy. Basically anything you want to customize from weapon offsets, to FOV, to Turning off the battle chatter. It’s all there.
- Customization options are literally the best in the entire series.
- Bots are actually programmed well
CONS
- Buggy UI ; Feels slow and unresponsive at times. I figured with this being a flight this will be fixed by the time of release
- When doing weapon drills I noticed the framerate would drop significantly at times. This is weird as it never happened once during matchmaking.
- Voice chatter is not for me… but you can turn this off in settings so it’s to your preference what you like
Overall glad this was delayed a year. good job 343
