my halo 5 beta feedback

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

It was great, I like where halo is going. They’re evolving it but keeping it’s core. However there was issues that should be adressed.

AR VS BR STARTS
Imo it all about the map. Br start work fine on some maps but overall AR starts are better and balance more maps better. AR gives the complete halo experience that makes the game more fun, balanced and better. AR vs BR start should be map specific. 75/25 ratio based off the beta (only 1 worked great with br starts which was eden I believe and regret was okay with it but better with AR)

MAPS
Remove Orion and Pegasus, they make good flood maps but bad slayer maps especially with br starts. There something I like about Pegasus but I know something is wrong with it. Too open maybe? Idk something is not right about it. Don’t bring them in to the final build. I liked the other maps just fine

WEAPONS
Sword is too bright
Hydra seem like a homing brute shot tbh.
AR and SMG seem to kill faster than normal at random times. Is there a headshot bonus damage? I’ve been kill and killed in amout 2 burst and other there times 4-5. Perfect accuracy for both.
Sniper should have classic instant zoom
Pistol is good and strong but at the same time feels weak when firing…idk

HIT DETECTION IS MESSED UP
Some times registers hit shot s as a miss, registers missed shots as a hit.

RANKING NEED TO BE CONSISTANT
Win 4 matches only gain 18exp total. Lose 1 game lose 18exp…wtf? No derank, alot of people had great 10 first games and got ranked high but wasn’t so good against equal ranked ppl and had negative K/D and losses but never deranked. It’s bad if someone only has skill of bronze rank but stuck in onyx. Add derank so ppl get ranked better. Or have everyone start out as the same rank and move up 1 rank at a time

SPARTAN SKILLS
Ground pound is awesome idc what anyone says. Slide was useless but fun to use when rushing to a weapon or corner. Stabilize is great. And clamber is something I been wanting since 3 tbh. These are my opinion here

ECT
Lobby had issues
Armor area was dark at times and had your spartan displaying previous team colors.

Great beta and can’t what for h5g just make sure 343 you fix these things and look into these.

Also maps were well designed for sprint and thruster pack so good job with that.

It should be removed than…or should it? If it stays nerf autos slightly about 10-15% reduce damage.

I’m sorry but you’re dumb if you think AR starts make more sense…

I hated the load out format of Halo 4 but I think halo would work better if everyone started with both AR and BR but everyone also was able to choose which one they wanted as their primary. If you play on a map (now this isn’t halo 5 specific) that has multiple power weapons such as snipes, sword and rocks, it is near impossible for a team with only ARs to defend themselves if the other team controls these weapons. This is a problem I encounter over and over again playing the MCC but in the Halo 5 Beta I did not encounter when everyone started with both the AR and BR. So that should be a default start because how can you kill someone sniping you with a short range AR.

Since I am very competitive I am pro BR start and no Sprinting, however I’m not against something different, i think as long as everyone starts with both BR and AR Halo can work perfectly and the sprinting finally is fair in Halo 5. I only have a few more problems…

The sniper needs a tune up… It is very slow compared to other games, nothing ever needed to be changed from the halo 3 sniper so why would you change it, so that needs work. Also giving the player with the prophets bane more speed is ridiculous seeing how the sword is already over powered.

My final two thoughts are to nerf the grenades and to nerf the full run beat down, cause just running full speed at someone and hitting beat down shouldn’t be a one hit kill, people will start “running knife” like call of duty.
