Hey Spartans!
Just wanted a place to post feedback on the game after the last flight test as it is now drawing to an end. The things we want to see changed, removed or added to the game.
My list:
-The vehicle spawning in Big Team Battle sucks, having the Banshee & Scorpion etc being a random drop ain’t it.
-A traditional level system, challenges to level up your Battle Pass is poor.
-No play collision, walking through your team, sucks.
-Add a kill cam.
-Add a final kill of the game cam.
-The Outlines make it a bit to easy to see enemies, especially in BTB, kills any stealth approach.
-A Clan system like Halo 2, Name, Logo and Clan vs Clan ranked mode.
-Reduce the respawn from 10 seconds to 5 in BTB.
Not that anyone will read this but these are my thoughts.
I agree with all your points except the ones about killcams, and and respawn timers. Killcams only reduce your ability to be map-aware after death, which is an important part of Halo, using your deathcam to look around and keep making callouts, or cycle to your teammates and get an idea of what’s going on around the map for when you respawn.
As for the spawn timers, it’s only 10 seconds in objective games, which very necessary as it makes your death actively remove you from the field while the team that killed you gets to take advantage of your absence. Halo has always worked like this. Without it it would feel nearly impossible to move a flag, return a flag, or perform other objectives as the waves of enemies coming to interrupt you will never stop. In Slayer the spawn timers are still 5 seconds, even in BTB.
I agree/disagree with your list:
-The vehicle spawning in Big Team Battle sucks, having the Banshee & Scorpion etc being a random drop ain’t it.
NO

NO

YES
-Add a kill cam.
NO
-Add a final kill of the game cam.
NO
-The Outlines make it a bit to easy to see enemies, especially in BTB, kills any stealth approach.
YEEES
-A Clan system like Halo 2, Name, Logo and Clan vs Clan ranked mode.
THIS probably will come out once the game is LIVE
-Reduce the respawn from 10 seconds to 5 in BTB.
NO, maybe 8
add
-Less power weapons in BTB
I’d like the AR and Pistol to both get descoped when the player takes damage. When you have a BR or Commando you’re constantly getting descoped into a crosshair windmill if someone with an AR is shooting back at you, even if you’re landing your shots.
Currently I’ll like to add one thing about the Assault Rifle, it needs to be rebalanced to not be so effective at mid-range. Whether it’s adding range damage drop, projectile, remove headshot multiplier, anything to balance it. A starting weapon should have utility and ease of use in mind for beginners and pros alike. ARs shouldn’t outgun mid-range weapons.
Buff the heatwave or make it suck less
Bulldog’s damage is too weak for shooting someone right in the face up close
Add EMP back to Plasma Pistol
Vehicle spawns are terrible in BTB, I don’t understand how some people can defend this. BTB has historically been about what heavy vehicles add to the game and they just come in way too late to do anything. Might as well not have them at all.
