I would even pay for an IA with Jeff Steitzer
Great map, hope we have more like it. Only problem I have is I ran over one teammate the game crashed and I opened it back to be banned. There’s no time limit and I’ve restarted my game several times. I only team killed once and if this is the need ban/suspended from playing after team kill it’s stupid. Should be targeted to killing the same teammates multiple times.
I just want to play the flight as I already have so much limited time. I took off today to play it and worked yesterday and a midshift tomorrow. Please fix quick.
Finally got a chance to play it, love the map and BTB is fun. The only downside I’d say is the crashing problems. I crashed a lot of times after finding a game but I was lucky to finally play in without crashing but I have crashed constantly when finding a BTB map. I hope this gets fixed before launch and I play on Xbox one x
While players are capturing hills in Total Control, the icon on the FOV is grey, but still the old color on the lower third. There were times where all three zones were marked blue but not considered captured, and this is confusing.
BTB Pros
-
The overall map design is balanced and nostalgic - The Vaults are intuitive and bring something new and fun to the game of big team battle - The Forerunner towers activating upon a team scoring is a excellent visual addition - The overall Forefunner design is nostalgic and amazing. - I enjoy the visual difference between fireteam members and teammates - Weapon pods and vechicle drops are a good addition - BR75 feels and plays amazing. - 12V12 is greatBTB/Weapons Cons
-
My biggest complaint while playing BTB was the imput lag. I found myself constantly being shot behind cover, my shots rarely landing, and rubber banding while driving vechicles. I also found the assault rifle being underwhelming compared to the first flight. I absolutely loved the feel and balancing of the assault rifle/sidekick in the first flight and this flight it feels completely different. I can’t tell if the damage has been changed or if its the lag I’ve been experiencing. - The sniper rifle feels unusable. It constantly feels like my shots are off and the first zoom feels way to much even for a BTB map. I like that it’s difficult to use but its unsuable in this state. I think halo reach nailed the sniper balance. The way it zoomed and the way it fired was perfect. It wasn’t too easy and it wasn’t too hard. - The heatwave doesn’t feel like it does the first flight. The first flight the shots felt more powerful and I could shoot more rapidly. This flight It shoots too slow and feel underwhelming when compared to the bulldog. - Im still conflicted with the friend or foe visual system. I feel like I can be spotted across the map when previously I could kinda sneek around without being identified. I really like the idea of the system and how it helps people who are color blind. It just feels cheap and loses the idea of sneaking around undetected. I would really like the option for it to be turned off for visual foes because It also feels like it inherits the ability to be more accurate across the map when it comes to longer shots because visually I only really see a color blur of a opponent. - The VLK is not consistant. I’m not sure if its bloom but it either melts an opponent or can’t kill a single person with one magazine. The recoil is great and balanced it just seems incredibly off and inconsistant with accuracy. - Heavy vechicles should come sooner than later in the match. - Increase slayer final kill count to 150
Every time I play with a friend my game crashes. It’s happened 3 or 4 times at this point. I’ve only been able to rejoin them twice now. It wasn’t a problem yesterday.
First off, btb is super fun! I’ve had a great time. These are a few of my critiques:
Heavy vehicles feel like they come a little too late in the match. It feels as though you have maybe a minute or two to possibly get the scorpion before the match is over. Same with the banshee. My honest preference would be for them to be available closer to the start of the match. This would allow more opportunities to use them.
The Pelican looks like it may have a frame rate issue when it comes in. It appears jittery.
This is to be expected, but I’ve experienced a little bit of lag in btb that I didn’t have in regular arena.
BTB is back and it’s as entertaining as ever! I love the maps aesthetic so much! The fun weapons placements and the integration of this new “ordinance” feature (not to be confused with the one from reach) really adds another level of depth and immersion to the fight as you feel like your partaking in a real battle rather than a flashy set piece with guns placed in random spots i also really like this new “door hack” feature you can do with your ai that allows u to access caches of power weapons. The use of equipment is also great, you can zip around the battlefield with your grapple shot, take a defensive position with a drop wall, or troll the hell out of someone in a warthog with the repulsor. Each and every equipment piece feels unique And are all super useful. All of this combines together to make an amazing btb experience! Halo infinite’s future is looking super bright!
Having alot of fun playing! Thanks 343!
Here is my feedback. I will continue to update this post throughout the beta.
*** Being able to walk through spartins causes numerous issues. ***
-
Zone C unable to be captured bug. (BTB encountered once)
-
Utilizing the Y button to start a new game will sometimes create an infinite loading loop.
-
When starting overtime CTF got stuck in spectator mode on abouther player and could not see my spartin for the rest of the game. Still had control though lol
-
You are not able to switch to another app from the xbox menu while in game. It crashes everytime.
-
Assault Rifle definitely need a nerf.
*Radar is inconsistent. Sometimes it has a long range and others it does not pick up spartins 5 ft from me.
What I wish was in the game: thursters, stabilizers, dash melee, ASSASSINATIONS, JEFF STEITZER IN BTB, WEAPON VARIABLES
Playing on Xbox One
Warthog turrets are way to fast at killing players, even with power weapons they melt people in 2 seconds.
Feels the same with ghost plasma cannons.
Unable to melee players in warthog turrets, keeps registering as hitting the warthog itself.
Making skilled players unable to possibly melee someone out of the gunners spot by jumping up at the right time as they pass.
Unable to board a scorpion tank when someone else is on the back or front.
Would be preferable to make it so two people can board at the same time because enemy team can guard against boarding enemies.
It would give opposing team better chances of taking down tanks if power weapons are unavailable.
I love BTB, but I give three advices:
- The pelican brings a lot of vehicles that we already have; warthogs and the Ghosts that should be a starting vehicle, in 4 VS 4 we have better vehicles from the start if you think (Behemoth). It’s BTB we need more Heavy vehicles.
- The pelican should only bring good heavy vehicles all the time, If you’re lucky maybe ONLY ONE of your team will use one of them, thats not cool, thats not BTB.
- The Plasma Pistol sucks AF, it’s really useless, it doesnt stop any vehicle nor any spartan Shields. Its trash
in that case it’s better not taking spaces for other weapons in the map, or fix it please. No one use it.
Total Control is a great concept, and i think it will work out nicely as something new and different.
What’s the deal with the CTF flag placements?
Why are the vehicles that drop seemingly random?
I’ve only seen the scorpion 2 times, with 6 hours of playtime. One of those times, it dropped and the game was over 30 seconds later. I feel like the game is just starting to get itself going, and then it ends. I’m not sure about the 100 limit on slayer in 12v12. That (in my opinion) could use an increase.
As well as there are not near enough ranged weapons to use around the map, and ENTIRELY too many plasma pistols. The plasma pistol seems to go after the driver in the vehicle, and not the vehicle itself, which makes that gun…useless in btb. It does not follow people at range, i mean as it stands the plasma pistol is all over the place and serves almost no purpose out there. Especially considering there is no range for the sidekick.
Spawning in the open with no range while beeing looked at across map with snipers, battle rifles, that’s a thing. That shouldn’t be a thing.
It tends to lean towards a lop sided victory either direction very quickly because when one team gets the ranged guns, it’s over. They get on a roll and there’s really no competing with AR’s and the sidekick from range.
I do enjoy this, i love the outlines we have here. I feel like this could be something great with just a few tweaks to settings, guns and where they’re located. I don’t know how much feedback you want here, but i saw postums tweet and thought ok, i have a second let me give my thoughts. if this is the wrong place for this, i’m sorry.
i’m just trying to politely constructively criticize.
I’m passionate and want this game to be great.
I’m sick of wondering what game i’m gonna play every day. I want to turn on my pc and KNOW i’m booting up halo, every time. Thats what i’m lookinng forward to, that’s what i’m hopeful for, and that’s why i am so aggressive with my answers. I just want this game to be great.
- I’ve been playing for an hour without sound on the game…any sound, i already tried other games and they work fine so it’s halo.
- Sometime the weapon reload twice.
- I am loving the game and really looking forward to the complete version and campaign c:
Game crashes after finishing a match.
Day Two:
Loving the BTB map and the design which arks back to Halo CEs 2nd mission.
No crashes today but had a glitch where it wouldn’t let me equip other AI’s, I equipped Fret to try it out for a game but then after it wouldn’t let me swap back until I quit the game and restarted, on the OG xbox one.
There’s also pop in textures on the OG xbox one. You’re probably aware of it and I know it’s an old machine but my series S is upstairs so it was easier to get everything on this console for this flight. I’ll be playing the release game on the S though. It just reminds me of 360 games as i’ve never seen pop in textures this gen at all.
I also had an issue where it wouldn’t play the soundtrack when it’s showing off our spartan fireteam when they’re posing. It’s just awkward silence and doesn’t get you pumped for the game, it happened afew times on BTB.
Vehicles also go way too fast and feel too light. The red water splash explosion doesn’t impress either. Also, the Ghost doesn’t sound like a ghost when it’s firing. No idea why the banshee and ghost are red either, I know they had Red versions in Halo 5’s warzone but what happened to the OG purple look. Did the Banish really paint everything red to be different? It’s like old americans changing the spellings of english words out of spite during the rebellions lol.
I know there’s other major feedback from everyone like no player collison, frag grenade physics not propelling you when exploding etc and the small radar which you’re aware of but my personal biggest issue is the sniper rifle and warthog turret, they just feel off. It’s hard to land shots with both when every other game it was easier.
This isn’t negative just constructive criticism from a big fan of every game. Can’t wait for the release.

> I TRIED TO BE BRIEF DIDN’T WORK HOPEFULLY SOMEONE AT 343 WILL STILL READ THIS. READ THIS 343i PLEASE READ.Pros, game feels great as i say to many others playing the game it feels like halo 3 with halo 4 and 5 mixed in a little bit. Graphics are impressive even on a xbox on s at 1080p 60fps. Even on my system i never would run into frame rate issues. Only time i would would be due to lagging out, i dont know if anyone else notice it but top right hand corner shows your m/s and then turns red when your connection goes bad but i still always remained connected. People loosing connections etc has to do with there internet service provider possibly or its just happening to this game then it is the servers but all should keep in mind this is not the final game.-Maps pros.I enjoyed all of the 4v4 maps, **specially Behemoth.it was wide open with plenty of spots to hide but a warthog and ghost to go with it Brilliant!!!-Map CONs. The BTB map is not vehicle friendly by no means and i get the idea of dropping off more powerful vehicles as the game progresses but my god the tank is useless being dropped in the middle of the map. Why not drop the vehicles for both teams at both ends of the map. Or simply have them there already would be even better, Because a tank is used to back up your infantry as we all did in halo 3 on Avalanche for example. Your quite literally a sitting duck in the tank on the map that is given to play on and Everyone rushes it, it gets attacked and then because of the lovely (being sarcastic i dont care for it doomsday as its called for the vehicle it blows up) all while getting maybe a single shot off… this goes for every vehicle in the game. PLEASE PLEASE BUFF THEM UP let them take a few hits before they go critical HAVE THEM PLACED OR DROPPED IN A AREA WHERE EACH TEAM GETS ONE THATS WHAT MADE BTB SO MUCH FUN SEEING WHO COULD GET THE BETTER OF THE OTHER IN THERE TANK. As noted above give the vehicles a BUFF It takes only like 4 or 5 shots of the sniper as i messed around in training mode for you to blow up the warthog. IT MAKES YOU WANT TO AVOID VEHICLES.-Medals being called out Come on its simple put Jeff Steitzer back in or at least give us the option**- Your radar needs to be bigger your getting beat down on your back before you know someone is even there.****- PLEASE MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO CHOOSE TO PLAY AGAINST PLAYERS ON JUST CONTROLLERS OR JUST KEYBOARD AND MOUSE YOU DID THIS FOR THE MASTER CHIEF COLLECTION I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT FOR THIS. IT SEEMS AS IF THE GAME HAS BEEN CATERED A LIL MORE TO PC AKA KEYBOARD AND MOUSE IM SORRY BUT HALO CAME OUT ON CONSOLE FIRST SO CATER TO THE OGs OF THIS GAME. The Sniper is pretty much useless zoomed in no scoping is easier. **Please Don’t get me wrong I am loving the game so far there are just Core HALO THINGS that need to be addressed and would make things more fun. Simply putting all the vehicles at each base at the beginning im sorry it may be old fashion and having stuff dropped in looks cool sounded cool but doesn’t work, Its a full blown free for all to get it and even if you do your instantly pulled out blown up and shot. THAT IS NOT FUN. Start of the game jump into tank shoot tank 10-15 rounds banshee finally gets me = fun.****YES I KNOW SO MUCH HAS GONE INTO THIS HOLE PAINTING OF YOUR SPARTAN AND TO SHOW IT OFF BUT PLEASE BRING RED VS BLUE BACK IM SORRY BUT SERIOUSLY I CANNOT TELL WHO IS WHO WHEN SHOOTING LET ALONE SOMEONE WITH DARK COLORS MAKES THEM BLEND IN AND HARDER TO SEE. RED VS BLUE WORKED. YES YOU WON’T SEE SOMEONE’S AWESOME COLOR SET THE JUST BOUGHT BUT WE SHOULD HAVE THE OPTION TO PLAY RED VS BLUE THATS WHAT MADE HALO HALO RED VS BLUE, I MEAN EVEN A ENTIRE SERIES CAME OUT BECAUSE OF RED VS BLUE BRING IT BACK OR LET US CHOOSE TO HAVE IT THAT WAY.****PLEASE GIVE US THE OPTION TO CHOOSE TO HAVE RED VS BLUE WITH THE ICONIC YELLOW SHIELDS GOING OFF IT IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT. I KNOW THIS WAS DROPPED BECAUSE OF THE SKINS BUT I KNOW IM NOT THE ONLY ONE JUST THINKING TO THEMSELVES WHILE PLAYING I MISS SHOOTING EITHER A RED GUY OR A BLUE GUY ITS THAT SIMPLE, AND IF PEOPLE SAY THEY DON’T THEY ARE LIEING PERIOD. BUT THIS IS A SIMPLE FIX JUST LET US TOGGLE IT ON OR OFF. THAT WAY FOR PEOPLE WITH COLOR BLINDNESS THEY CAN STILL ENJOY THE GAME.**THE BULLDOG, HAS NO REAL FEEL OF A SHOT GUN AT LEAST IN MULTIPLAYER, PROLLY IN THE CAMPAIGN IT WILL DO SOME WORK ON GRUNTS ETC BUT NOT A SPARTAN. THE HEAT WAVE I STILL REALLY DONT GET HOW TO TAKE SOMEONE OUT WITH IT. THE SIDEKICK IS AWESOME BUT PLAYING AGAINST SOMEONE ON PC YOUR GETTING YOUR -Yoink- KICKED BECAUSE THEY CAN CLICK FASTER THAN YOU CAN PULL A TRIGGER. SO MANY GUYS CAN SHOOT CLEAR ACROSS THE MAP SO YOUR ZOOMED IN WITH THE SNIPER BUT CATCH A STRAY ASSAULT RIFLE BULLET AND THEN YOUR DE SCOPED=NOT COOL. ONCE AGAIN I WILL SAY I LOVE EVERYTHING SO FAR AS IN IT BEING HALO AND I CAN SEE THE DIRECTION IT IS GOING CAN BE GREAT, IT JUST TRULY NEEDS A LOT OF TWEAKS MORE OPEN LONG RANGE BTB MAPS AND PLEASE FIX THE STRENGTH OF VEHICLES AND PUT THEM ON EACH TEAMS BASE NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MAP SO ITS A CLUSTER BLANK OF PEOPLE ALL TRYING TO GO FOR THE SAME THING. HAVE Jeff Steitzer VOICING THE MEDALS OR THE CHOICE TO DO SO AND PLEASE PLEASE LET US CHOOSE TO HAVE RED VS BLUE IT WAS ICONIC AND I MISS IT, SPECIALLY IN BTB.
Please refrain from all caps and bold. I want to read this, but this literally hurts my eyes.

Weapons sometimes reload twice. Screen goes black for a flash when killed sometimes and game crashed on match end.

Just read through all of this. Thank you everyone who has dropped feedback in so far. Thanks so much!
