So, the foundation of Halo is great. I won’t talk about monetization or customization because it’s a dead horse that’s been beaten plenty of times already. So, here we go this is what I think so far. I mostly just play custom games and BTB. I have diamond 1 in ranked, but I hardly ever play ranked.
The motion tracker is absolutely useless. I don’t know how many times the enemy team has gotten the upper hand on me because I failed to see them on my motion tracker until the last second, or I just don’t see them at all. The amount of times I’ve told myself that the motion tracker is useless is astronomical. In previous halos it would’ve helped me prepare to fight an enemy, or gotten me out of a 3v1 situation, and helped me group back up with my team, or think more strategically. Quick Play is not ranked, you do not have team mates most of the time making call outs on where enemies are at, I have no idea why the motion tracker is so short now, but I would love it to be changed back to how it was previously.
Enemy Collision needs to make a come back. I have gone through enemies, stood inside, run past them only to create an air of confusion about where I should aim, or just try to melee. I have had people with thrust just go past me, then turn around and ninja me, or melee me to death because I have no idea where they went. Please bring back enemy collision it will create less confusion. I have noticed other things like my melee hits not registering. I remember I was sprinting behind someone for about five seconds. I finally caught up to them to lunge in for an assassination. I went through them, the hit didn’t register, they turned around and I was still stuck in melee animation with their team there to kill me off before I could get another hit off. There are other times I’ll get the melee animation off before an enemy player, it won’t register, but it will for them, and they’ll kill me off.
Infinite really needs to bring more game list variety, and segregate them like how it is in MCC. I miss playing
casual team snipers, slayer, and control. Also, we need Team Heavies back in BTB. I have no idea why there isn’t that many tank spawns in BTB, or just vehicle spawns in general, games can be a huge slog fest sometimes until the enemy team gets a wrath tank, or scorpion at the 14min mark which is literally a minute off from the game being timed out.
These are my current gripes at the moment with Halo Infinite. You have a great foundation 343. I love this game so far, and hope changes for the better.
