OOO this is rough

Games Halo Infinite
1

Infninites art style is brilliant, it longer feels like gross -Yoink- child of what was trying to be halo (cough 4 and 5 cough)

but looking past the art design i know this is a test beta,
The physics are BORING, ive been paying halo since the very begging, i still play halo CE,2,3 and reach on a regular basis
and the fun that those game invite are in the stratosphere compared to this

no life or creativity in the physics, feels idelntical to any other shooter

i know speed lines can be turned of… but why do they even exsist?
i cant even honestly call sprinting sprinting because you barely move any faster and cant even run to catch up to someone walking backwards
so having big jarring lines invade your screen when your running 10 miles an hour sounds like a creative choice made in 2007

the plasma pistols shouldnt even exsis’t
no clear different between hardlight, plasma, and standard munitions, everyone sees to die and lose sheild at the same rate regardless of the ammo hitting them

the shocker, sniper, and skewer and the abominations to use on controller
the sniper is horridly underpowered and impossible to land a shot

the radar doesnt show enemys until they are within melee range

running full speed at an enemy with a grav hammer and the enemy can outrun me while just slowly walking backwards? why are there melee wepons if they can get away by lightly holding back on their controller

speaking of controller
after 3 hours of there is NO AIM ASSIST, not even a little i purposely tried to get any kind of nudge on my reticle by putting it very and enemy and here is none

the audios is cringy, other than the OST sounds, the edgy nu rock drums and breakdowns in the menu feel more Apex legends than Halo
the 15 year old spartan voice lines that sound like they are out of a serialized drama
the bades are just baring as hell
most badges are all the same color…puke green

what happened to getting a kill within 4 seconds is a multi kill?
i got 5 kill all 2 seconds apart and only got a double kill. others didnt count because they all didnt die at the same time?(happened every game so far)

now those are my only issues
but physics, speed balance, and radar are staples of the halo experience and i dont see any reason 343 took it upon themselves to just say

"hey that stuff that made halo great? and is the reason we still have millions of players on MCC
yes lets get rid of all of that make its cod with armor and make this a Splitgate Clone with no portals and halo art

this sint my first Halo Beta, andregardless of its current state and what they fix
if the radar and physics aren’t fixed by launch, this will go in my bin of games that wish they were actually halo.
free multiplayer or not im stcking to Halo Reach matchmaking for a few more years, far superior to 4 and 5 and from the looks of it that10 year old game might have more life and love in it than all of 343s games combined
this beta is jarring and a worrying sign for halos community
i cant say that after 20 years of okaying halo
that this even feels like a halo game

ps: yes im being harsh
if you comment just to cy about how harsh im being ill assume you’re sensative and ignore you

any and all criticism is welcome tho

just doesn’t feel like halo

After it all.
I take most of this back
No player collision, speed balancing, radar and physics still need to be flushed out.

And 343 needs to steer away from every kind of armor they’ve ever made for the armor in infinite to be anything compared to CE thru Reach

But the Map designs. The weapon placements the emphasis on the classic halo gameplay with a twist.
Beyond the lack of life in the physics and gameplay issues.
Infinite is growing on me and might just save halo.

And my god PLEASE DONT PATCH THE SPEED MELEE.
its the single greatest part of the flight

I’m not going to cry about you being too harsh as you put it, but I will criticize your spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and other numerous writing errors. I mean revise & edit a little on a post this long, I just stopped reading when you misspelled “beginning” as “begging.”

Same, I really miss player collision and I have qualms with Infinite but there are so many other aspects that are keeping me invested into what Infinite has to offer. Glad other people are feeling the same. But NO to speed melee! It’s evil! Lol.

Seriously. Every day I read these forums I see more and more evidence of needing some kind of vetting system in order to be able to post. Being able to write at a second grade level might be a good start. Or being capable of reading the front page for existing topics so you don’t get post #645 complaining about the same thing everyone else is. Just imagine if a site like Sonic Retro permitted any hot-headed or misinformed 11 year old deviant post to their forums without any QC measures in place.
