Battle Past
Locating the battle pass was difficult to locate. I found myself going to the in game store then clicking the battle pass. Instead of the actual method we’re supposed to use.
Customization Layout
The customization could be easier to navigate.
Using horizontal selection makes it hard for players to see the multiple option to select from. This will become annoying with more customization options.
Customization Selection
As a mouse and keyboard user I kept clicking on the armor pieces on my spartan model instead of the actual UI that was below the spartan model. It felt more natural to click the part of the spartan I want to customize instead of using the ui itself. It would be a great feature if added.
Medals
The medals are small and hard to see during gameplay.
Map and Gametype Navigation
I hope the UI for selecting maps isn’t horizontal as well. Navigating 300+ maps and gametypes is a pain. If anything a search bar for maps and gametypes would be amazing. I know this would be great because I have over 600+ maps and gametypes in MCC lol.
I really would like to see Battle Pass XP progression obtainable just from playing matches.
It’s fine to have Challenges be the big chunks of BP XP, but getting nothing from a match feels awful.
I think Apex Legends is a good example from a BP XP standpoint (though I preferred it before they changed to the current Star system, but even that is still sorta the same. You get progress towards stars just for playing, and bigger amounts of stars from Challenges).
I love the idea of BPs not expiring/avoiding the “FOMO” crap that other games do with their season passes. But I want to feel rewarded, at least a little, for each match I play.
Really loved the Tech Preview overall. My thoughts on UI items that could be improved moving forward:
All text needs to have higher contrast with the background (especially in highlighted rows of postgame scoreboard)
If I “beat my usual” deaths, the arrow should be blue but down, not up
In pregame lobbies and killcams, player banners are sometimes pink
It felt like I had to navigate too much to get to certain menus (too many button presses/pages). The UI/menus could be streamlined to address redundancy.
I’d like to be able to equip earned Battlepass items from the Battlepass screen
Sometimes menus do not load/populate properly (no Spartan model in Armor Hall, no armor sockets in mod, etc.)
Armor coatings could be organized in a vertical table instead of a single horizontal row to streamline the coating choice process
I’d like to be able to access the Battlepass with a button press from any screen
Perhaps the lobby system could move towards an adaptation of the Halo 2 style lobby as a vertical list of all players in the current lobby
The menu feels unintuitive, somewhat confusing and cluttered, especially with the indicators on each button, which are somewhat small and with little contrast. In addition, the fact that you can’t customize your spartan while waiting for games takes away the freedom of navigation that Halo 5’s menu had.
Here are problems with the UI
1- the background gets messed up when going from one menu the another.
2- somethings in the customization option won’t appear like the armour coating, armour pieces same with the battle pass.
3- when playing the game and going into settings the menu pops in and out
4- I would like a reach mcc where you would pick a armour piece and it would equip it or take your to a sub menu of attachments
5- the UI feels nice and responsive but I can easily get lost in it when trying to look for a something.
6- I like the new system for body type but I would also like male or female option since its hard to tell if your spartan looks more like a female or male.

That would be nice, like xp for losing and winning or just completing a match
I’m sure this has been said before, but I believe for the UI, instead of it being a horizontal line for choosing what customizations you want, it should be more like MCC where you have rows where you choose it on the side. Didn’t really like the Armor customizing UI very much, but that’s just me
Minor issues
-Framerate drops below 20FPS when viewing armor customizations
-Unequiping helmet attachment doesn’t work, attachment remains equipped
Things I would change
-Would prefer Halo Reach style carnage report (currently, team lineup does not display performance without having to view each individual player)
-Would add voice previews in AI selection menu
Personally, I think the UI for the Main Menu works just fine for me as a majority of the buttons are categorized accordingly under its own section. I do have two gripes about it and the first one being the occasional confusion I would have sometimes between editing my Spartan’s armor design and their AI/Limbs. I think this would be better categorized under the same window rather than separated as it still technically involves editing the armor of the Spartan. My second gripe would be the daily missions and Battle Pass UI. These two menus were initially very hidden for me as I had trouble locating them. I would stumble across them while randomly navigating through the menu but the next time when I wanted to visit that menu again, I wouldn’t be able to remember how I got to said menu. This is even more prominent with the Battle Pass menu and I believe just adding a dedicated Battle Pass button in the main menu would save a lot of time.
I have noticed flickering that looks like a black square on the bottom left of the screen near the tracker that happens sometimes during the arena showcase reel.
A lot of bandwagoning on hating the new medal design and direction, I gotta say that it’s grown a lot on me and I like how they look/placement.
On the other hand, I don’t like that consumables are hidden within the battle pass. My friends and I couldn’t find them for quite some time. I wish they were more advertised like H5’s. Also customizing my Spartan while searching in matchmaking is incredibly convoluted, back out after you initiate the search make me feel like I’ve cancelled the search. Wish I could just press start and get to customization or something that simple like previous titles.
Fireteams in menus doesn’t show gamer tags and isn’t well telegraphed when I’m in someone’s game. So many scenarios where I’d ask “hey I accepted the invite but can’t see fire team members, am I in?”
Hola 343 industries.
Hago este bello resumen de los errores y bugs de esta preview técnica, soy de Xbox Series X.
En la academia está el bajón de FPS en las armas, hace un títileo el arma como si se trabara al moverse a todos los ángulos.
al mirar hacia abajo su spartan no se ve tan detallado y se ve la mitad del cuerpo, tu cuerpo está cortado,
Bugs en plantas en el mapa bazar, las plantas atraviesan paredes, les falta sombreado dinámico.
el sonido de las armas baja, solo se escucha el sonido de ambientación.
Bajón de FPS al haber mucha cantidad de objetos.
-Faltan más detalles en algunos objetos como spartan, el cielo se ve borroso, dinámico en sombras y agua.
la arma comando no hace mucho daño y su recarga es lenta.
el escudo desplegable dura mucho al activarse.
La escopeta no hace bastante daño.
-Mas dificultad a los bots dificultad Spartan.
Los menus tanto de personalizacion como la tienda, son muy complicados de asimilar por la cantidad de detalles, debe de ser más simple.
Algunos objetos tardan en cargar o aparecer en el escenario tanto como concreto, paredes, pasto.
en lo escenario algunos pinos se ven pintados, les falta bastante detalle.
Muchas gracias 343 Industries, por el momento está todo lo que me percate de detalles, y gracias por aceptarme para este vuelo técnico. Felicidades van por buen camino!!!.
Customization and Battle Pass: The biggest complaint I have with the format of these menus is the amount of horizontal scrolling.
I’m sure the Battle Pass in the full game will have much more than 20 levels, so I would like to see a feature where we can see a few tiers at a time on a page like in Halo: MCC instead of having to scroll through all items from left to right.
As for player customization, I really like that there’s a favorite system and filter, but I still think it will be tedious to scroll through options in the final game. I suggest a vertical format like the one in Halo: Reach, complete with subcategories (example: all TAC chest pieces are under one tab that can be opened/closed instead of separate entries), in addition to a “favorites” tab and the sorting system already present.
HUD/Gameplay UI: The outline system for enemies is more distracting than helpful to me. I feel like the enemy Spartans are covered in red Jello, and it makes it difficult to see the actual armor underneath or determine their shield status. Changing the color didn’t make much of a difference, and it also changed the color of my “red” reticle and motion tracker blips.
The best solution to this would be to make the shield, motion tracker, reticle, and highlight colors separate options. If possible, I would also like to have the option to make the highlight for enemies and friendlies a transparent “coating” covering their armor like it was in the flight, a more subtle outline around the edges like the Halo 3: ODST VISR, or just turn it off completely. This would give players more choice about how in-game information is presented without impacting accessibility options.
Store: No complaints from me yet, there weren’t many items in this flight so it was difficult to tell how easy it will be to navigate in the future.
ControlSettings: The option to bind controls to button combos or double taps would be nice. For example, if I wanted the “drop weapon” button to be left on the D-pad, but pressed twice to help avoid dropping weapons accidentally.
The battle pass is perfect to me, the system to get all is great, the challenges doesn’t are too difficult or too easy at the beginning.
The store is fine, like in hmcc, i only see one problem in the main menu and its when you move at the store and back to the main menu the background keep being from the store.
Hello Dev. Today, I have some comments with my experience; please, read it. Thank you.
Medals: Sorry, but I really hate the design, the size and the position of the medals in the MP, I want the medals stay in the Halo 3, Reach size, position and colors. No more Halo 5 strange cartoon appearance. Please, take it into account. - HUD Customization: If we could customize the in game HUD, in order to change the position of the weapons, team score bars, etc. It would be better because all the HUD elements are in the buttom site. And is very uncomfortable. Plaese think about it. - Oversheald: The oversheald appearance in the game is betterbwhen the color is green, if you put it yellow, it don’t contrast well. - Logos: The slayer game mode logo is very bad, looks dirty and not familiar. The snake team logo looks catoon and the Halo 4 one is perfect. Keep it simple please. - Score: When you press the View button in order to see the start of the match, it is not clear and in the Spanish version, the text is not well pleased. - Team Main Menu: Dude, is really difficult to seach every single option of the season, teamates and everything about navigation. - Quick Time animation: I love the Halo 4 - 5 animations when the Chief will open a door or check date. May be it could be optional. - Weapon Change Design: The color of the weapons when are going to exchange one are strange coloring and no detail. - Crosshair Low: I don’t use it but it is cool. Include it for the fans ;)Thats all for today. Thanks for your attention and good luck .
