3440x1440p 120hz gsync.
Sitting at 70fps on all settings low, between 50 and 60 on high and ultra. This game is horribly optimized. 343 needs to implement dlss or figure their optimization out, otherwise its gonna be a very bumpy release.
Gameplay is pretty fun. Some of the auto commentary from the spartans during gameplay is a little cringey, feels like CoD bros recorded some lines for Halo to sound edgy but instead just sounds douchey and immature. Not saying we need super gritty or super serious, they just dont really sound like spartans. Weapons feel good, though sound design is all over the place; sometimes i just don’t hear pickups, or reloads. There’s also a lot of sound missing in the UI, at least I imagine. Purchasing or changing appearances in the customization has zero sound feedback, which is kinda odd.
Overall the game is fun, but optimization needs to be a huge priority. There is no reason my 3080 should struggle this much.

Having the exact same issue since last evening. I can’t find a fix anywhere.
I don’t know if this issue has already been reported but the academy drills are completely inaccessible for me on PC. I can only access bot slayer as of now.
Cant disable the TAA, game is a blurry mess because of it. Sharpening and raising the resolution are NOT proper fixes. I won’t play or buy this game unless there is a TAA off option. For a genre that requires clarity over all else, forcing a blurry graphics/post processing setting seems a bit dumb to put it bluntly. I can live with the shimmering, just take the vaseline off my screen.
OKAY HERE WE GO : THE GAME HADE SOME HICCUPS, INSTALLING ALL THE WINDOWS UPDATES AND UPDATING DRIVER FIXED AND I CAN PLAY !
2ND: THIS GAME IS IT BRUH!!! THIS IT IT , THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR , IT FEELS GOOD MAN REAL GOOD MAN, REAL REAL GOOD, THE GAMEPLAY IS -Yoinking!- PERFECT, IT FEELS SO FLUID RIGHT NOW
3RD: LET US SLAYER !!! EXTEND THE FLIGHT , I WILL PRE-ORDER THIS IMMEDITALLY IF I COULD PLAY THIS BUILD TILL LAUNCH, MANY WOULD!!!
System:
Nvidia RTX 3090 FE OC’ed to 115mhz on Core 669mhz on Memory
i9 10900K OC to 5.1ghz
16gb RAM @ 4200mhz
Playing at Resolution 2560x1400 with GSYNC
Playing with Mouse and Keyboard at medium settings locked at 60fps (Fluctuates quite a bit as optimization seems like a work in progress) as anything above 60fps seems to feel very stuttery and choppy even with GSYNC which I don’t believe seems to be supported at the moment. (Seems like the same technical issue that was present in Halo: Reach on MCC for a long time but was fixed eventually). Overall gameplay with mouse and keyboard feels decent, mouse aiming seems responsive for the most part (hard to tell locked at 60fps on a 240hz monitor). Would really like to test smoothness and true mouse latency/accuracy if GSYNC and proper support for fps above 60fps with proper frame pacing is supported.

I have the EXACT same thoughts about some of the lines. especially the default AI voice that says things like “sniper inbound”…saying “inbound” + having that accent sounds 100% exactly like COD on the money. I can’t stand that. It really sounds like they legit used a COD voice actor. It takes away from the halo feel so much.

> game is heavily CPU bounded (playing on 1070 and it use ard 50% sth) (30sth fps on low graphics settings and 200% render scale, 40sth fps with medium graphics settings and 100%render scale)I tried to mess around the graphics settings, and found that 200% render scale + low presets are the way to go and that’s not a good sign. Any presets with 100%~160% were blurry, I hope this could be fixed when the game come out.
> And one more thing, there was no “Fullscreen” only “Borderless Fullscreen”. It might not be a big deal but it would be a nice touch if we could have that in the release version.

The reason the game is blurry is the TAA that you cant disable, smears the whole screen. The fact that you have to run at 200 percent resolution scale shows just how bad the TAA is.
Not a major issue.
I’ve noticed that when explosions from genades happen right on top of you and if a Spartan teammate or the announcer are talking. The Audio seems to stutter. I’ve had it happen a few times now and it only lasts a couple seconds but with how much genedes get thrown, I can see it becoming an annoyance very quickly.
I have encountered a problem with the game in which it tends to reset some settings/cosmetic items to default every time I restart the game

> Having tons of fun with the game! My only gripes so far is that the resolution setting of 1920x1080 looks really blurry, despite running it on a 1080p monitor. Game is a bit framey, running at most at 80 fps on low everything. It also tats several retries to find a game, however I assume it was just because of how overloaded the servers were last night.

Blur is due to the TAA that you cant disable, TAA uses previous frames to smooth future frames which causes obvious blur and or ghosting. Please add an off option 343!
I’m hoping this is the right place to post this, but I still have 0 messages telling me how to install the preview even though i have the email with the link saying to go find the message and join the flight. Any ideas why that is?
ADS speed being different from normal aiming is so annoying. Stop putting that in the game or make the default be its the same. I cant even attempt to snipe

Criticisms
-
Performance is disappointing, even downscaling to 2560 x 1080 just boosted my 35 fps to 50 fps. - Fidelity FX CAS just makes everything look blurry. - In gameplay, zooming in with non sniper weapons feels awkward and inaccurate. Just use the hipfire - I noticed a crazy amount of artifacting during gameplay. Near the bottom of my HUD - Game seems to reset graphic settings every time it launches.
Pros
-
The 350 Sidekick pistol is one of the best weapons and is as great as the CE magnum - automatic mantling is a good feature - You can actually change the FOV - Good controls settings and customization - Infinite sprinting makes the combat feel faster paced - Jump crouching is still a thing

> I am playing on pc. I have a GTX 1080. Game looks blurry. No matter what settings I change, the shaders still look bad. Performance is bad. Getting between 50 to 70 fps. Not a smooth experience. This should not happen with a GTX 1080.
Blur is from the TAA that cannot be disabled, it makes game incredibly blurry. Many new releases are forcing it which baffles me. A simple off option would solve our problems, albeit the game would probably be a little shimmery. Being able to choose is the important thing.
Menu doesn’t load things very fast, and when you get exp for the battlepass it doesn’t show how much exp you have for the next level. It just shows that you reached the next level and stops. I also wish it would tell us what we unlock whenever we reach a new tier.
So far, my opinion on the game is positive. It has certainly earned that status progressively, from gameplay (aside from Sprint, which seems useless as it is and would be better replaced by Thrusters or just removed, from my point of view), to bots, to weapon feel (although I’m not keen on the sound effects). I’ll be updating the following list with the problems I encounter along the way as I test the technical preview:
- Keyboard settings are in a different language from the system default, resulting in characters like “@” not being recognized
- Inability to set the “Open text chat” keybind to T
- Crash after changing the keybind “Push to talk”
- TAB is inconsistent and sometimes won’t show the scoreboard. If that keybind is reset during a match and then used, there’s a possibility of crashing
- Keybinds reset after changing AI
- Sound effects are so low and muffled
- Friendly players are difficult to distinguish from enemies
- Give an option to play BR starts with pistol/AR as secondary (at least, make it like that for competitive modes)
- Needler sound and functionality are quite different from the classic games; not as recognizable nor iconic. Supercombine effect is barely noticeable
- Cannot get over 70 FPS even in lowest settings. Optimization should be priority
- Xbox Game Bar notifications need to be brought to front to be seen while in game (messages, invitations…)
- Killed a bot behind a box in “Live Wire”
- Chat box needs to auto scroll better
- Being able to jump on the “BLDG-07” ledge in the map “Live Wire” would be interesting
- Add options to choose between balanced and fast matches (currently it looks like it always tries to find players of similar skill judging by a message on the lobby)
- When a player joins your party your gamertag disappears on the lobby
- Players can go through each other instead of colliding. Instead of completely removing this behaviour, it could be applied for AFK players after a certain amount of inactivity, so that surrounding players aren’t stuck in an unproper spawn.
- A match loaded once without any bots on the other team
Ran into a PC/steam bug that crashes the game, so reporting it now before I forget.
Binding “Q” which I like as my ‘push to talk’ function will crash the game.
so i have about 2 hours of gameplay now as many people have said framerate aint good and clunky have also ran into issues where will be kicked out of match making,there has also been many cases of the end screen the spartans wont be facing the right direction or are doing animations from in game often there is cases of the spartans not appearing in the menu apart from that nothing to report great job
