My Halo 5 beta feedback :)

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

[This is only a Halo fan opinion]

My feedback is about the gameplay, not about the bugs, it’s a beta so it has some several bugs and I know that 343 is going to fix the bugs before the final game comes out

Things that I liked:

  • All players starting a match with the same weapons, but i’ll be better to start with AR/Magnum in normal slayer modes- The “ADS” works, beacause it’s basically the every halo zoom, but now it looks cool- Liked the breakout mode, it’s perfect for player that are focused on competitive matches- The sprint/shields recharge nerf, but I think it must be nerfed again like if someone shoots you when you’re sprinting, the shoots must slow you down a bit and there will be the perfect sprint nerf in halo- Spartans talking to each other, but I think there must be a option to desactivate it, and an option to change your spartan voice, like in halo reach, and hear what your spartan is saying- “Hulk Smash!!!”, Ground Pound, It’s ok and balanced :slight_smile:
    Things that I disliked:

  • Weapon’s damage are very high, especially the SMG, and the BR three-round-shot It’s too fast, it looks like the DMR instead lol- Kill-cam, I think it must be removed, it doesn’t match with halo, and I think is the useless thing ever done in the shooters- C’mon no Spartan vs Elites again?? D: invasion? nothing? :c- New sword and rocket launcher, both must be replaced for the original ones- Granade damage is too high, the frag granades one-shot you when you have all the shields D:- Shoulder charge, It’s annoying that when you’re trying to normal-melee some one you got dodged so easy and owned lol. I think making the charge work with LB/RB would be perfect- But yeah the big problem is that I feel that now killing is too fast, that’s the first thing 343I must fix, and I say fix because Halo is not a generic “run and shoot” shooter and Halo 5 must not be like that
    I feel good because, when I first saw a game fotage from Halo 5 on youtube I was like “omg this is bad” but when I player it I liked and I was surprised because of that
    Thanks 343I for giving us the beta :slight_smile: I hope you guys hear our feedback and work hard to make this game better than halo 4 (Halo 4 wasn’t bad, but is not the best Halo)

Honestly, I’m not too picky unless something is terriblly wrong. That being said, the only thing I seriously want them to change is the voice call-outs and what some described as ‘Bro Moments’.

The game is as fun as Halo has always been, but why turn the Spartans into complete children? “Incoming 'nade!” Really? Spartans are highly lethal, highly disciplined soldiers, trained since childhood. They don’t communicate like Spartans at all. They gave them the appearance of normal testosterone-fueled teenagers that were tossed a set of body armor.

I understand the need to market to the game’s demographic, but why change the Spartan’s demeanor entirely? Of course, I’m a diehard fan who has read most of the books and played all the games. As a core Halo fan, I inwardly cringe every time the ‘win’ animations play. 343 started this during Spartan Ops, but now they’ve taken it way out of hand.

Assuming these are Spartan IV’s or a possible Spartan V these are just high level soldiers on Spartan armour, and if you believe regular old soldiers are too serious to say " 'nade " then you’re really mistaken. Besides it makes sense, shortening things is good for quick communication.
