Halo Infinite-
My thoughts and opinion on the game so far. I don’t even know if this will be read by 343i but putting it out there.
The game in general was a breeze of fresh air finally, but with a feeling of seeing an old friend after 5 years. The gun play and gameplay is great. Obviously its just a flight tech preview and there will be adjustments but there are definitely so tweaks or changes that are needing an adjustment to an extent.
Such as:
- Drop Shield needs a buff. I wasn’t entirely sure what 343i’s focus was for the equipment to just stop a explosion or what. It gets eaten through instantly and it as of right now not in anyway a deployable cover.
-Vehicle speed toned down just a bit. still keep it out of sprinting speed but don’t think it should be where its at.
-Plasma Pistol barely has any use with out its EMP burst. I understand the shock weapons nut it still shouldn’t take over for that weapons main use.
-Plasma fire and explosions. we want more from it especially the Ravenger burst and fusion coil fire. They’re the same thing but feels it needs a strong presence visually. Halo 3 has better fire visual effects. Also brings up the vehicle detonations. Add a bit more flair to it the ghosts in past halos especially 2 and 3 would gravitationally berserk as exploding in fire with a out of this world audio indication its going to explode.
-The last thing that was a huge disappointment for me and some others was the medals. The design of some are good like the newer ones but the art style is not hitting the nail on the head. its better than 4 and 5 so far but not by far. I’m not saying copy and paste from bungie but if you’re going to make a game that is going back to its roots and a spiritual reboot take some more inspiration from its past. I know they went a little further and changed them to a slight between flights but i mean i was hoping more life to them, More individuality, and a gritty metallic look (Reach) and feel to them instead of a plastic patch. I really hate that they took most of the individuality away by making the color of them by rarity huge step in the wrong direction for that. like the multi kill medals and especially the spree medals. I kept thinking at first that the killing frenzy medal was a running riot. the image of the medals was my biggest gripe. but i will say the new names for sprees or the addition of the brand new ones specifically ninja. Its a positive direction for 343i expressing them selves in a positive direction but the art style was not.
This was putting my 2 cents in mainly my thoughts, ideas, and opinion. I had more to say but was running out of time but overall game is heading a great direction and loved playing it just really hope they do something about those medals. They were one of the many staples halo multiplayer had. It goes hand and hand with Jeff’s amazing voice calling them out especially for this game way better job done than he had for halo, way too robotic sounding then.
Thank for hearing my thought is any are reading this.
