I actual really had fun this weekend. If nothing was changed i could still see myself having lots of fun. But since this is a beta here is what i ran across.
BUGS
I would drop out of my match while waiting for players after every 2nd round on average.
Long waiting times.
After the update on Saturday at 10-10:45 i could not get in a game for 3 hours after.
when gamertag get shuffled while searching for players sometimes there are duplicate names.
It seemed like the guy who lags is untouchable (very rare).
Sometimes when changing between controller configurations it would not change after a while with out shutting the game right down.
SIMPLE CHANGES
It would be nice to see when you kill a player with a grenade after you die. Some sort of notification.
Sometimes the kill cam do not go back far enough.
It would be nice if the kill cam also showed your own health so that you can see how it drops as the cam plays out.
When your dead, a countdown to spawn would be nice.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Everything ran smooth, no frame rate drops. Even when all hell was breaking loose.
I really like the clamber, i think it adds a lot.
I think the ground punch is cheesy but because it is hard to use it is degrading when you get killed by it. I think it could be cool when there are vehicles around.
Good spawn points so far.
I love the new smg ( i know some don’t)
PERSONAL ISSUES
Ranking system
I loose a match 23 kills 7 deaths (best score in the room) and i get a -10 on my competitive skill rating and then i win a match with 15 kills 11 deaths (2nd best in the room) and i get 2 points.
Head shots are retardidly easy. No skill needed. No scooping with battle riffle and sniper and DMR is so easy there is no need for the scope.
Please get rid of -Yoink-, “snippy" and taunting. If you want a taunt that everyone in halo will love then lets see some tea bagging but get rid of the attitude.
I would not mind a bit more health to make it a battle last longer.
The sword and melee have bad hit detection. Many times in the replays i was not even in there screen because i had jump above them or to the side and they still hit me.
Aim assist is noticeable and a little high. I was shooting at a player from across the map when the game started and we first spawned, a guy i was shooting at had not started moving yet and one of his teammates ran across my redical and my gun followed him.
PERSONAL REQUEST
I prefer base orientated maps rather than arena maps with random spawns.
You can play more tactical and it not always right in your face. My favourite memories of halo has been the long hunt of cat and mouse or when you get a multi kill and there not spawning right away close by to finish what they have started.
Lastly, I had fun and thanks for the early beta invite.
