The interface has a generic tint, I would like more a classic touch, as well as the previous zoom.
However, the color of the enemy border and the player’s shield was a magnificent touch.
- Please enable spartan customization while in a lobby or game menu. Having to leave lobby to go back to the main menu to access customization felt extremely clunky, and I expected that at a given time I could press tab or esc to open some kind of navigation and go directly to the page I want. Customization is important to access from within a lobby for many reasons, often times right after or before a game I want to double check my unlocks and see if I have something new to equip. When I’m matchmaking, customizing my Spartan is a great way to pass the time. The menu experience in general was extremely frustrating, please consider a master navigation that is accessible from any page in the menu, so I can navigate directly to the screen I want without having to move forward/back to do so. - The customization menu was confusing at times, it was not always clear how to equip an item I was viewing in one of the various categories like “helmet”. At times I would select something and it would not equip. For example once I selected a color for my Spartan, I was unable to switch to any other colors. Unsure if this was a bug or if the menu was just very confusing. - In game UI seemed far too small, was hard to actually see most of the information, medals were so small that I didn’t even notice them on screen for a while, and the equipment/grenade UI was small enough that I could barely read the key mappings. - Please show full grenade inventory in the UI without having to switch. I don’t always remember what nades I grabbed or used and would prefer not to force-switch when I specifically want one type available. - The match recap screen I found to be missing a ton of standard information. At the end of the match, the main screen I want to see first is the team vs team breakdown of everyone’s score: kills/deaths/assists/points. From there, I want to dial into individual scores for more detail as needed. I will note that as this was mostly Bot Slayer, I’m unsure if the Arena PVP match recap has this information. - I personally do not think the “unique player colors” is a good choice for multiplayer. Classic red vs blue coloration makes enemy detection easy to do within a split second, however during the Infinite flight I was regularly having to second-guess which player was friend or foe. The UI that added enemy color indicators would largely hide their unique colors anyways. This choice feels wholly unnecessary – please let us toggle to the classic R vs B.
The UI definitely needs working on difficult to navigate and not informative enough love all the different settings though
The UI I think really should be like Reach and 3 where it’s a vertical menu instead of horizontal. Also I would really like it if the text boxes weren’t just generic white, maybe make it blue like in classic Halo’s and when you go to the button you want to click it’s highlighted orange. The news box is also too big, it should be moved or made smaller so we can see the characters better.
I think we should be able to customize our spartan, vehicle skins, weapon skins, etc while queueing for a game. I also think there needs some improvements made when purchasing battlepass related stuff, the first thing that I’d like to see is a “battlepass bundle” that you could buy and instantly be like tier 25 or something. I also think there needs to be an option to purchase every single tier after someone purchases the battlepass.
Battle Pass Feedback:
There is currently no way to progress the battle pass outside of challenge completion (daily+weekly). No rewards are given on a per match basis. I finished all of my daily and weekly challenges by Day 3 of the flight. This means on Saturday night, after my daily rewards were complete, I got zero BP progression.
It feels like the game actively discourages longer play sessions which feels backward. I think if a player wants to grind their face off to push BP rewards, they should be able to. Perhaps once the “Complete 4 matches” daily is complete, it cycles back to one? Or just simply repeats? Something. Anything.
Hello! Can we have previews of the AI and Spartan voices in the game? That would be awesome
Crosshair customization would be quite nice and helpful to have
I have 2 main pieces of feedback,
- please add voice previews for the AI’s and Spartan voices, not having previews makes it feel like a chore to find the one you like most.
- in the pause menu part of the main menu add a shortcut to customisation, having to go back through several menus to check what armour or AI I have equipped just feels clunky especially when you can check the battle pass at any time.
I would like to see an option in game to disable the scrolling effects and an option to change the outline opacity of enemies and teammates. If feels too much at times and gets way too distracting. being able to change the colors of friends/enemies is welcome but I would like to see those accessibility options added as well
I don’t really like that the metals are extremely small and is near your reticle in this game. It should be like Halo 5 or previous Halo’s where it appears on the left side or at the bottom.
Feedback and criticism
Suggestion: Make frag grenades dropped upon players death not glow. They look like they are live when they’re not.
Suggestion: Allow rotating death camera on your spartan and a rotating camera for spectating teammates.
Suggestion: Make it where you can drop equipment for teammates like weapons.
Suggestion: The gravity hammer i feel should send your opponent flying when they are killed by it, as of now it doesn’t have that much effect.
Suggestion: Please add match XP for Battlepass.
Suggestion: Allow us to preview AI’s voice/personality.
suggestion: The ping system feels it needs some improvement, had a hard time being able to ping location of enemies.
Bug: Sometimes when sliding i could see inside my spartan and it was weird.
Complaint: The Heatwave feels too weak, I only used it like 5 times so maybe its just me.
Complaint: (this is just personal preference) Please change the spawning and ping of power weapons and armor abilities. the system isn’t bad but i think it would be better if changed a little bit. the announcer lets everyone know 30 seconds in advance when the items are gonna spawn and there is always a maker for where it is, and they only spawn in one place, so its the same place every time, so everyone knows where to wait. I think it would be better to randomize the spawns while the match is going if by any chance that is possible. the announcer would say the items are incoming in 30 seconds but the ping for the location wont be given until the 10 second mark, i think this would be a better system as well as the item respawning in different locations on the map in the same match.
Complaint: Sprinting is nice but the bobbing that takes place while sprinting feels it needs to be smoothed out a little.
Complaint: I think the drop shield takes to long to place/activate.
The game was a lot of fun and the community is very exited to see what you do going forward and we cant wait to play more. We appreciate all the hard work you have done over the years for making this game! Thank you 343 for the Halo Infinite flight!
Medals for infinite are too generic would love to see halo 3 style medals return.
Battle Pass / Credits
-
Crédits in game have to be gain from playing (challenges/BattlePass) It’s not engaging when the in-game Store can be accessed ONLY with Crédits that can buy brought by REAL MONEY. So the Game should rewards the players with Crédits to feel like you gain something by playing.
-
The Battle Pass is a weird place too. You can progress only by challenge that are LIMITED …? So if you want to play longer, at one point, you will not by rewarded anymore ?.. In SHORT :
We should get XP every game we finish depending on the score we made.
AND
We should get Credits by completing Challenges
- I really didn’t enjoy Battlepass progress being tied to Challenges only. - I personally prefer the Season Point system from MCC, especially because it allows you to purchase items in your own desired order. - I enjoyed the “Capstone” unlocks, it was a cool idea that I personally hadn’t seen before. - Allow us to “preview” the AI voices while customizing them.
XP should be earned through other means outside of only challenges, similar to MCC where you get some for each match depending on performance, medals, etc.
The fact that you only earn XP through challenges was the biggest drawback of the preview for me. Having to play 5 games to earn a single point in XP is still creating a grind (and then cutting players off all together is even more guilty of the same). For me there’s this very distinct feeling of dissatisfaction when I complete a game and don’t earn anything for it, especially when you have a good game (which should earn even more XP). I don’t think it needs to be a LOT of XP, but locking off XP behind challenges made the game feel a bit empty for me and kind of encouraged me to get off the game.
First, thank you for allowing us to play the game so early. Definitely hope there is more to come down the line.
Played on Series X: Stuff probably being worked on, but you never know.
Battle Pass: Like that there is a two tier system for those that wish not to purchase a battle pass. Everybody gets something. Hoping the pass stays xp based of challenges and not based of of time. Please don’t do this.
UI: Only thing I would like to see if maybe a challenge is completed that is weapon or event based that it updates on screen as it happens so not having to go to separate menu for it.
AI: Allow players to hear the voices and see if its something you like before having to go into a game
In-Game: Allow for players to mute others easier. ease of access to mute or have option in settings.
Audio: Dolby Atmos or others coming to game?
Ui needs work, push to talk crashes the game. Even other settings.
Obviously not optmized on pc, running a 3070 barely getting above 60fps? Some found work arounds setting your minimum frames to 85 or 120 and matching the max frames to the same. But would make the games clarity go down drastically.
If not u played below 60fps in most cases.
But again is a tech preview and is not expected to be in final build.
Fov would reset often and even minimum frames would as well. Specially if the game crashed,
Or stuck on loading.
Battle pass was fine but me being silly didnt realise only the way to get xp for it was to reset the weeklys that were do-able in the preview
Make the bottom “searching” banner is more visible, and that you dont have to back out of the searching menu to access the top tabs.
