Well i have played quiet a lot of PVP right now about 20+ matches and i could say it was consistantly and mostly a really bad experience , despite the gameplay itself wich is good , the Hit registration , players moovement etc… were really laggy , unreliable and overall mess up …
Most positive i could say come from the gameplay itself wich i like the direction of , but the overall PVP experience wasnt very good .
1: Trade kills were all over the place getting kill by your target after you kill that target …
2: Melee range and strength is insane and require a real nerf espcially while using a controlers its just way to much .and result in most figth to end up in a laggy beat em up match where the most laggy player of the two get on top
3: Hit registration was really bad and it felt like a bad P2P netcode , at some point you could shoot entire magazines of AR without missing in someone face to see him turn back beat you down twice and kill you out of nowhere … Dying behind walls wasnt uncommon and my internet is 1gbps down 500mbps up 0 packet loss
4: Grenade are still way to strong
5: The BR on controler have way to much forgiveness aim assist / magnetism and bullet curving towards target
6: Rocket off target range is a tad to much … shotting at 10 feet from target still result in a kill , damage radius should be revisited .
7: We got linked into European servers matchs when ours region is NA east coast and it was a terrible experience many time
8: Slide initiation is way to slugish and unresponsive , When you initiate the slide you have a huge unresponsive delay wich makes " evading " with the slide nearly useless or impossible
9: overall PC performance here with a RTX 3080 TUF 10gb ddr6x , 48ghz Ram DDr4 4000mhz Cl16 , Ryzen 5600x 4.8ghz the game still feel stuttery the frame pacing is weird and not fluid overall and it feel bad the level shaking while running and shooting is also really bad visually
10: the " crouch lauch " across the map bug/exploits might end up being abused especially considering how poor the netcode is and how insane melee ranges are
11: Outlines are to strong visually for me just having a red dot over the head and barely visible outline and knowing where my allies are would be enough ( No name plates please )
12: Overall ttk feel a bit slow and could be speedup by few 0.xx secs , as long as the slide initiations is speedup as well .
Dont get me wrong i love the overall gameplay of the game , but the netcode is unreliable , balance between MKB and controler is out of wack and there is to much magnetism and bullet curving on the BR especially for controler . But its a per weapon issue … Bad netcode resulting into way to much " trade kills " way to much Ghost hit marker and Ghost hits
More feedback + non pvp
1: Movements Run/Slide is much better than any others Halo ( besides the " Insane screen shake " while running and shooting even with the setting turn off it ) and slides initiations wich is to slow and slugish and unresponsive but the direction the moovement is taking is promising
2: Overall Gunplay feel solid and good Better than all Halo combined , but Aliens weapons projectiles like most halo games are to Slow and underperforme compare to Humans weapons
Does not give much incentive to use them over good old humans weapons .
3: Bots are kinda stupid , they always rush the left side all toghueter at the begining of every matchs
4: Bots grenade are sometime insane
5: Bots inconsistancy is real , they are either god mode for a fraction of second or compleatly dumb and worthless the rest of the time
6: Pulse carbine isnt good projectile travel time is way to slow
7: the Heatwave is kinda weak , and only somewhat good when you could use it vertically the horizontal shots spread way to far
8: The needler is pretty cool compare to past halo games now its more of a decent SMG wich i like but visually the Needle crystal projectile look pretty weak
9: I like the MA40 and the VK78 they feel pretty good
10: slide initiations is to slow and slugish , it need to be tigthened up and be much more responsive
11: Performance on PC , frame time , fluidity is very bad
12: Aim stickyness for controler is to strong for my taste and unexistant on PC MKB even if the setting is turn on
