I want to give a detailed response to the gameplay trailer and I want to give constructive criticism based on what was shown.
I love this franchise with all my heart and my favorite game by far is halo 2 anniversary. you guys did an amazing job on the game and I see bits and peices of it in halo infinite.
you can’t make everyone happy and I understand that you want to focus on giving both groups what they want. but please take what I’m saying into consideration.
First I’m going to list the things I think look good and don’t need to be changed:
-
graphics - art style - gunplay - equipmemt - classic covenantNow what I think should be optional, or added if they’re missing.
-
hit markers - crosshair location - vaulting and sliding - weapons - dual wieldingHit markers should be a ui option that can be turn off so if people don’t like it they can get rid of it the same goes for changing the location of your crosshair. middle or lowered it’s been a standard in bungie games as a lowered crosshair increases your view of the scenery and reduces your view of the ground. make those optional.
next up is vaulting and sliding. in my opinion these features should not exist in a mainstream halo franchise make them optional in mp.
regarding sprinting make it optional in mp. keep it in single player it has a place in an open world game.
next is weapons
out of the weapons I saw picked up the only classic weapon I saw was the the reach assault rifle. and dont get me wrong I’m glad it’s there. and it makes me hopeful that other classic weapons will be there i would like to see a return of the halo 4 ma5d it was the best designed halo rifle to date imo and it should be a weapon in the game.
please add the other classic weapons too and make new and old weapons optional in mp.
for single player while I think it should stay mostly classic. but you know what. keep the new weapons. keep them both. players will choose what they want to use anyways.
examples of classic weapons that are icons that should be in the game are…
- needler - plasma pistol - plasma rifle - plasma carbine - plasma cannon - pump shot gun - magnum - SMGs - sniper rifle - rocket launcherAnd finally dual wielding.
dual wielding has not been a feature since halo 3. to me this is an extreme disappointment. it’s a great feature and it needs to make a return.
I wish i could describe with words the feeling of dual wielding the classic smgs in halo 2 anniversary. if I could explain the feeling it gives me you might understand why this feature NEEDS to make a return.
and now to wrap up. I don’t care if you have to delay the game further to add these features. please make these features a thing. please add dual wielding and all classic weapons. (if these are not all already in the game)
and most importantly of all please continue the hard work. for most classic halo fans this game is the last stand. this game for me and most fans is a make or break deal there isn’t going to be a another chance. most classic fans will not continue to support you if this game fails. and so far excluding what I’ve mentioned everything looks promising and I am hopeful the game will be successful. I believe in you. I’ve seen what you can do with halo 2 A and with the gameplay of infinite I know you can do it don’t give up. make it happen.
