Impressions of an old fan

I’m an old player from Halo 2 days (I’m just saying this to better understand my point of view).

I believe HI is a step up from H5. I really enjoyed the removal of the abilities and the return of the BR as a primary weapon in the Arena. But overall, I think there are some things to be solved / improved.

  1. The game is too fast and hectic. I feel like I’m playing quake. Some will surely like it. After a few games I start to have a headache and overall I have little fun. I would reduce a little:
  • Basic speed
  • grenade launch speed (not only a little, please return to the classic speed).
  • slide lenght.

This doesn’t mean going back to Halo 3, but something more like Halo Reach.

  1. Aim system is not good. In all other fps people have a natural feeling with rifles. Here everything seems unnatural, especially over short distances, despite having adjusted dead zones and sensitivity. I had the same feeling in Halo 5, I think you guys have a big problem with that. The game should not discourage / frustrate the average user.

  2. The battlepass is blatantly ridiculous. it takes away all fun and is specially designed to make people raise money.

I would have preferred to pay for the game at launch, as usual, and have an EXP progression based on performance as well.

Challenges must not force people to use particular weapons that they would not otherwise use. This alters the goodness of the gameplay a lot.

  1. Please add Arena Slayer as soon as possible. I’m sick of just playing objective games with strangers.
