Voted for more vehicles in BTB (or just give us Heavies please?) Right now it seems like most of the Halo community is too busy making a fuss about progression or cosmetics or whatever, but I’d like 343 to focus on improving actual gameplay first.
Agreed, though after playing in vehicles for a while, I’ve given up. They’re too squishy and are otherwise completely useless compared to vehicles in prior Halo titles.
To be fair, I’m sure they have different people working on different components. Gameplay and customization/progression/monetization are probably different guys.
This is also true. The result is that vehicles just don’t have as much of a presence in BTB as they used to, and I wish this was being talked about more.
Agreed. I don’t care about battle passes or cosmetics. I care that the game has problems, some of them in service of microtransactions.
Most of the items on the list are not a concern for me, but the most pressing and immediate change I would like would be much, much better playlist options, on par with the MCC. That would do the most of any of those options to immediately improve the game. Here are the options that do matter to me, roughly in order of how important I feel they are:
Playlists split into many categories
Red vs Blue Armor/adjustment on enemy identification (removed/reduced outlines at a distance, removed/reduced scope flare, hiding outline while crouching, etc)
Bigger radar
Player collision always on
More vehicles in BTB
Crossplay toggle for all matchmaking
It’s sad to see that, as of this post, the top four items voted for in the poll all have to do with cosmetics and the battle pass. Ugh. “Battle pass” as a concept should have stayed with Fortnite and not wormed its way into Halo.
