As I cant think of any serious issues with the game at the moment I thought I would share some of my very minor issues with the beta so far.
Grenade damage: To me the grenades are just a tad too powerful for my liking, there not game breaking or anything But I would like to see there damage reduced maybe by just 5-10% or perhaps there splash damage reduced slightly.
Announcer + Medals: The announcer is a classic part of Halo and should never be removed but I think some slight changes could be made, There is the way he basically says the same thing in 2 different ways when he says
sniper rifles in 30 seconds
power weapons in 30 seconds
sniper rifle in 10 seconds
power weapons in 10 seconds
sniper rifles on the field
power weapons on the field
saying those 2 things just seems kind of redundant. (I told you these were gonna be nit picky)
Also I personally preferred the less is more approach in the older halos with regard to medals, obviously I want the medals for double,triple kills etc, and medals for sprees and head shots, but it seems like for every kill you get in this game you’re getting 2-3+ medals. And this just creates another problem where the announcer is always talking.
Victory celebrations: I know a lot has probably been said with these but I will just add that I personally find these just a bit sill and out of place, but I don’t see them as a glaring issue as some people seem to and wont loose sleep over them if they remain in the final game.
Overall I’m loving the beta and its refreshing to see a developer look at there previous effort, realize they made mistakes and instead of just adding more stuff to try and mask the problems, actually remove things they added and make changes to go back closer to the game original formula. Keep up the good work 343i.
