First of all I wanna say that I’m absolutely stunned by this game, it’s WAAY better than I thought it could be, the gameplay is fluid and fun on series x and the user interface of the menu is much more refined compared to halo 5 version, although I have to report some bugs: first of all sometime when I navigate into the menu the images don’t load or if they do they are low rendered 3d models but that’s pretty much it, now gameplay speaking there are some stuff I wanna report, first of all I cannot hear the voice of the commentator and sometime the framerate and the imput of the controller drop dizzyingly make it nearly unplayable, fortunately is not something that occurs often, and for last I gotta say that perhaps you should balance a little bit the ar, since it has a very VERY quick time to kill. To be honest this beta (except the pending bar bug) was awesome and let me finally play what I consider the BEST HALO GAME. totally satisfied. 9/10
I’ve also got some comments. Firstly, I love how the game is currently. It’s easy to navigate and shoot and the weapons are good. However, I’d like to see the reticle for the sniper to increase in size when not zoomed in, and the recoil for the commando to be toned down a little, it’s quite hard to use when free aiming. I’m absolutely in love with the sidekick, imo, thats exactly how pistols in infinite should be. It’s accurate enough that you can just rely on it if you have nothing else, but also its great for popping that cheeky headshot after you’ve destroyed your opponents shields with - and bare in mind that this next gun is my absolute fav of the preview - the assault rifle. It«dk how 343 did it but its perfectly balanced. Behaves similar to reach’s assault rifle, but it’s more accurate. I hope they don’t change this. Apart from the AI voice bugs, the armor and color bugs and the long wait times, bugs and infinite loading screens for matchmaking, I think this is pretty solid. One thing I would like to see changed though is how much XP you get for challenges. If it was increases a little, I’d be very happy. 8/10
Honestly loving the feel of the guns and how they sound. Sound design wise the game is already incredible, I sat in the menu for about an hour listening to the soundtrack, they’ve really outdid themselves here. With it being a flight there are many bugs, obviously. The most frequent one for me was the black screen when entering a match then the game kicking me out for inactivity. Our sound coming and going (the sound of the announcers dwarf the guns in some instances) I’ve noticed AI standing completely still and I do feel they could make the battle pass UI a little bit more intuitive in terms of accessing it and the game clearly defining new items you have unlocked. Otherwise I’m so excited for Infinite and it’s future. Cannot wait for the campaign and if they keep improving the multiplayer then it will easily become
my favourite of the franchise, I seriously love the gun play here
I like the feel and am more hopeful about the customization options as it seems you will use battle pass and shops instead of loot boxes. so at the very least I can select directly what I want. still hate the transaction of any kind though. now graphically it is great, could use a few more things like actual weapon stands(like in halo 3) or radios, vehicles and other props in the environment so it feels a bit more alive. right now if feels sterile. movement is much better and the design of the map overall is great as well. enough cover and levels to make it interesting. Some of the new weapons added feel like replacements of old ones. like that heatwave gun feels like a more accurate scatershot. health and damage feel more balanced than it did in five and I like the new UI a little. however it is a bit confusing at times like how do I switch grenade type? also idk where the armor abilities are at. Luckly I dont need them as I play usually with the pistol and ar only anyway. By the way the models for those are looking good. the music as well near the middle and end as well as team intro is also a nice touch. Seems like you are using some ideas from games like apex. Overall I would say it is pretty good, but could use a bit more props on maps and not make it feel so much like doom or something. But still nice. But for me the real question is how or what is it’s singleplayer look like.
PS; dude the servers need some help. I got booted from a game and am having a lot of trouble finding more servers. Also took all night for the pending to go away and install. it’s gonna suck if the servers are unable to handle the massive player base. like how star wars trailer crashed the internet a few years back.
Like others said, this game look way better than last time. This is going to be very massive Halo game. On Xbox Series X I find difficult to clearly see white button in menu at 4k HDR. This happens also at the end of a match when you look at scoreboard, it is difficult to read. Gameplay is great, game fluid except some texture bugs or weird black loading time after a game. Stability for me is great for now.
