Overall feedback from the Techtest so far !

Games Halo Infinite
1

0: Screenshaking when firering weapon and while sprinting should be entirely remooved or remoovable it make the game graphics look terrible and feel terrible it gave me a headache HALO infinite should be " DOOM eternal " like Fluid …ATM even with Screen shake setting turn off it still shake like crazy the entire level shake Halo screen shaking madness - YouTube

1: Movements Run/Slide is much better than any others Halo ( besides the " Insane screen shake " while running and shooting even with the setting turn off it )

2: Overall Gunplay feel solid and good Better than all Halo combined , but Aliens weapons projectiles like most halo games are to Slow and underperforme compare to Humans weapons
Does not give much incentive to use them over good old humans weapons .

3: Bots are kinda stupid , they always rush the left side all toghueter at the begining of every matchs

4: Bots grenade are sometime insane

5: Bots inconsistancy is real , they are either god mode for a fraction of second or compleatly dumb and worthless the rest of the time

6: Pulse carbine isnt good projectile travel time is way to slow

7: the Heatwave is kinda weak , and only somewhat good when you could use it vertically the horizontal shots spread way to far

8: The needler is pretty cool compare to past halo games now its more of a decent SMG wich i like but visually the Needle crystal projectile look pretty weak

9: I like the MA40 and the VK78 they feel pretty good

10: slide initioation is to slow and slugish , it need to be tigthened up and be much more responsive

11: Performance on PC , frame time , fluidity is very bad

12: Aim stickyness for controler is to strong for my taste and unexistant on PC even if the setting is turn on

I more or less agree, with all of these points.
I haven’t noticed the screen shake on firing, but don’t like it on sprint.
I need more time to figure out the pulse carbine as the shots are slow but seem to have some tracking, it might be fine once I have gotten used to it.
The needler is very fun, I think the projectiles look fine but maybe they could do with some improvement.
The Heatwave’s horizontal mode definitely feel much worse due to the scatter in most situations.

I would agree but also I’d like to say the BR is probably the best I’ve felt one in a halo game

Pretty much agree with all the points here, only thing i may add would be to change the fire rate of the BR maybe a tad increase, and change from being a 4 burst kill on heads to 3 bursts, fits more with the original design though i understand that this is not the likely idea behind it as it’s a new IP adding it’s own twist, and different when it comes to overall balancing, still enjoying the weapon a lot.
Overall gun play feels good, weapons feel like they have impact, aside from the above points. But maybe decreasing the time to kill by about 1/4 to 1/2 second would improve the speed of the gameplay, and make things a little smoother than they feel as of right now.
On the side of sprint, i love the animations, models seem fluid without many glitches that i can see, enjoying the overall “texturing” of the little bits that are added into it with the slide etc. however, it should be increased in speed a little as there is little use for it when i can near match the speed just by walking, makes the game feel a little less fluid to me personally.

I dont know if you play MKB or controler but on MKB i dont like the BR but anyway i dont like burst riffle to begin with …

Thats said for once the needler is kinda nice to use it serve as a SMG of some sort and isnt as weak as it was , but the visual effect of the needles crystals could be better

Many pick up weapons especially aliens beside the needler are really not very good and truely underpower compare to any humans weapons from the pistol to the Assault riffle to the sniper and so on

The gameplay 100% I love all of it. Bots are basically snipers with their grenades sometimes, and I’m really not a fan of how much the spartan sways the gun over the entire screen when sprinting, it’s better than in Halo 5, but like, it’s so weird.

So gameplay I love, but these MENUS man, they make no sense!

I load up the game, oh hey interesting store let me go check it out. Okay I bought some stuff, let me hit escape and try to find where to customize my spartan. Okay no customization there, hit escape again, I see the tabs now for gameplay and customization. Hit customization. Oh hey Body/AI, that’s it right? Oh okay nope that’s not it. I can go through the weapons hall and vehicle halls, oh armor hall what’s that, oh THAT’S where I can set my colors (also, why is it called the armor hall? I have no idea it’s not what I would look for if I just wanted to change my color/helmet/etc). Okay navigating the colors, I first have to select the armor I have on now, then go through the menus. Clicking on the coatings to set my color, clicking on the coating button, coating button shows me the color cool, escape now that I’ve had my color, oh my color wasn’t chosen, go back in, try to hit the checkbox but sometimes it glitches out neat.

Okay now that I have my spartan color I escape about ten times to get back to the main menu. Okay cool how do I play the game, I’m stuck in customization, I hit escape, don’t see how to play the game anywhere weird. I can’t even find a splash or title screen what’s going on. Hit shop again, oh hey there’s another tab for gameplay duh. But why isn’t that in the escape menu, why isn’t any of these tabs in the escape menu weird.

It’s just so hard to do anything. I still don’t know where to set my battle tag because the personalization menu is greyed out for me but I see in game some people must’ve already.

I’m just going to spam this everywhere because the UI/UX man, it hurts me on some weird fundamental level.

I have a little trouble here deciding how I feel about this because of the bots, lol. I had a bot a came around on with a covenant weapon I picked up. Thinking carbine but I am tired and so a little out of it. But the bot eats a bunch of up close bullets from behind, throws a nade at my teammate out in front, and then does this weird instant almost 180 one shot kill with their pistol. I had full health and with all the headshots I have had with that I have yet to get a one shot. Some bots will just look at the ground randomly. And they nade so much and I die to that so much it is hard to tell. I mean, I have had matches were all my deaths or all but one were because they would eat a full assault mag and just throw a nade and no matter I die to it.

The bots have made it feel a little inconsistent. And i have had varying luck with weapons. Got a perfect with a pistol. Followed by a full mag of headshots that did not kill. So I swap to my assault and it took a bit. Though I assume these things are things that will be polished more and playing against real players will feel different and give a better feel for that.

Overall though this seems to be fairly solid. No major issues. Just some inconsistency with a few weapons for whatever reason.

  1. I tried to disable the screen shaking, but it didn’t seem to do anything. I don’t think it looks good either.
    2.Turned motion blur to 0.
  2. Anti-aliasing isn’t that great on the highest setting
  3. I don’t like that you can’t disable Depth of Field. Set it to low.

Yep its impossible to turn it off and its terrible , performances on PC also are stuttery and do not feel fluid the frame time must be a mess , i have a RTX3080 TUF OC , 48Gb of DDr4 4000mhz Cl16 and a ryzen 5600x at 4.8ghz and the game feel terrible when it come to performance , fluidity and frame pacing and on top of that you had the shakiness and all it feel pretty bad i wish it was like " DOOM eternal " fluidity
