Infinite Tech Preview – Training Mode

I was very hyped to finally play the game for the first time, and now… I’m extremely disappointed, mostly by how the weapon sound and play.

I still don’t understand why smart-scope, sprint and slide are here. They don’t seem useful at all, they don’t really fit in the gameplay loop. It feels like they’re here just here because other FPS have them, instead of being present because they serve a purpose in the game.

However I love the Grapple Shot, it’s very fun to use and feels like a good addition.

I haven’t tried them yet, but I don’t understand why the Gungoose and Wasp exist. They seem like just UNSC versions of the Ghost and Banshee, instead of being unique.

I can’t switch between my weapons (pressing Y) in Training mode on Xbox Series X.
Anyone else with that issue?

Training mode don’t load on Series S, only Weapon Drills working.

After playing against bots on the map Live Fire for about an hour or so, both team’s bots go and sit in one of two spots in the map after about 20 minutes. This happened twice in the match I played.

Yeah you have to go into your controller bindings and re bind switch weapon to Y.

Edit
Realised I submited in the wrong topic. I’ll edit later once I’ve tested the training mode long enough.

In your email for PC, if youre on Xbox just download the Xbox Insider Hub from the store.

> Bots and gameplay bugs:
> - 1) When starting the game the enemy bots don’t spawn for about a minute and it’s just me and my teammate bots on the map running around aimlessly. - 2) There are no multikill medals showing up at all? Or maybe the time that you have to get a multikill is a super small window? Last flight I saw gameplay of people getting multikills all the time and it looked like the normal 4 seconds between kills allows the street to continue. But now it seems like it’s either not working at all (Rocket that kills 2 people in one shot doesn’t say double) or it’s just buggy and random, or maybe just not even showing.Training Options bugs:
> - 1) In the Training Options I can select a plethora of things I want to spawn with and I love that, however whatever I change in that moment, even every option, just reverts itself back to how it was or chooses something else for me while in that menu if I scroll up or down. However, if I select what I want (even tho it reverts itself to default or another option), and then I back out of the menu and then go right back into the settings then the settings are as I chose them. Just an overlay/visual glitch in that menu. - 2) Now an actual in game bug is that if I choose my loadout at the very beginning of the game then I have those items I choose when I spawn like I’m supposed to. Now if I were to be mid game with different weapons and nades and powerup that I picked up from the battlefield and then just view Training Options, without even changing anything, then my loadout changes to whatever I currently have on me at that time upon next respawn when I die OR something random as I occasionally spawn with an AR and pistol even tho that was never selected nor equipped at any time of the gameplay. So like, every time you view Training Options it saves all settings to what you currently have on you at that specific time or defaults it to something preset in the game and that doesn’t make sense.Bots and gameplay suggestions:
> - 1) Are the bots supposed to load with whatever Training Options you select? They seem to be continuously spawning with AR and Pistol and picking up the very first weapon they find on the map, whatever it may be. - 2) I wish there to be regular Custom Game options like in previous games where you choose kill limits, time limits, game mode type, loadouts that everyone spawns with and the option to disable, enable different kinds (Human, Forerunner, Covenant, Snipers, Rockets, Rifles), or randomize weapons that appear on map. Maybe just not available in the Flight and that’s ok, but this one mode of just continuous onslaught is quite weird. - 3) In game stats? Generally you press the settings button/menu button (not the start button, the other one) and it shows in game kills, deaths, assists. Will Training Mode offer that?

agree with game suggestions. Hopefully 343 will add

(Series S) Training mode is a lot of fun. It works fine for me. The ability to swap your primary weapon, Secondary weapon, and equipment in a pause menus is an excellent feature.
I think I experienced a bug where the enemy team didn’t spawn in right away. Not sure how long it was till they spawned in. Not a huge deal for me as it is training mode.

And yes, I would like to see in game stats score board added in. I don’t think it’s there in this build.

Oh weird. I was thrown by the controller image in settings.

Thank you!

IMPORTANT ACCESSIBILITY FEATURE:

Nobody is bringing this up but the game needs a color blind mode and customization size for the crosshair!

I’m not asking CSGO level of customization, I just want a smaller universal crosshair with a different color than white for each type of weapon like Splitgate did.
Please please, if anybody at 343 reads this please make this a priority I find it hard to enjoy the game without this!

I found a bug on bazaar. The top northwest corner of palm tree is causing an issue where the enemy bots are unaffected by the dynamo grenade. I threw it at their feet and it wouldn’t shock them.

Controller on an Xbox Series X with bumper jumper.

Someone said you’ve got to map it so whenever I can access the game again I’ll try that.

When beta out

Not sure if this has been mentioned.

When changing settings in the ‘Training Mode’ it always reverts back to the ‘default’ starting items no matter what changes you make (so it appears that your customisation was wiped each time). However, if you back out into the Training Mode game and then navigate back into the Training Options. It can be seen that your settings actually remain saved.

I am getting a message saying that my account is not authorized is anyone else getting this problem?

The window for Multikills is way too short, in previous games it was around 4 seconds and now it feels like barely even 1 second.
