Pros:
-The BR is looking and sounding nice, I wish there were more on the maps though.
-Hit marker is a welcome change.
-The grapple is a nice addition to the sandbox.
-I don’t mind the auto DMR, it is a good idea to bring in a machine gun that benefits from head shots.
- The slight zoom with none precision weapons is nice. There’s a name for it but I forget.
-Simplifying the player mechanics compared to reach, 4 and 5 was a move in the right direction. But they could move farther yet.
-I like the way the shots look with the pulse carbine and how fast they travel, but I wish it wasn’t a pulse and instead was a steady flow.
Cons:
-I wish they’d bring back power ups that activate by walking through it.
-The aiming is wonky, which has made me need to turn my sensitivity down. This wouldn’t be a problem except that it compromises me being a ninja short range.
-The drop shield is cool in infinite, but it would be sweet to have the bubble as well. Also some other equipment from h3
-The maps layouts are good, but the visual are off. Specifically the middle eastern looking map doesn’t look futuristic. This is a small point as I actually like the map.
-The music is pretty wack (specifically the indie music), I’d like to hear something more SciFi.
-I could do without sprint and clamber but I won’t open that can of worms… Unless you want to :D. The way it is right now I could deal with though, it’s just an ugly addition in my mind.
-The weapon timer and announcements. Having this means you can’t gain advantage against opponents by keeping track of when the weapon was last picked up. It also makes grabbing power weapons less discrete.
-Ive noticed that some things have been changed in the game randomly (seemingly random) like colour of frenzy metal and other small details. Although I don’t really care, what’s the point?
-The pulse carbine, meh. I’ve included other reasons for dislike in the pros section. I just think a pulse shot and a slow moving load-outs clash.
-The visual marker for teams are only needed for the enemy, what’s the point of having it on teammates too? I think that it could do without.
-The AR has increased spread with the radical when shooting, what’s the point if all I do is spray with it anyways? What i mean by this is that the radically expands when shooting it, but all that is usually done with it is spraying, so whats the point?
- I wish medals popped up in the classic spot (Bottom left of the screen, very noticeable), I can’t even see what I’m getting right now. Also I am unaware of how many shells I have left in my gun.
- Seems they’ve abandoned gravity lifts and teleporters in small maps. Kind of a shame if that’s the case.
-Changing weapon spawns randomly is the most enraging change that I’ve seen so far, I’ve gone to get a BR and its different every game. not a fan of this, because developing starting routes is a big part of strategy. It makes the game more about chance.
But over all, I am quite enjoying the game. Seems like a lot of complaints but most of them are minor.
I think it would be best if you elaborate on all of your cons and provides reasoning behind them (you do for some, but for most there really isnt anything there). All of this is in good faith by the way.
Here are some follow up questions I would have for you based on your complaints (and some follow ups just cause I cant help myself)
- Why do you want power ups to not be equipment - what makes it feel wonky for you - why is the drop shield less fun - what do you mean by the visuals being off? - I think your comment on music is fair, though to be honest, Halo never really had scifi music, it had operatic music and rock music (with more electronic in h4) - what about the weapon timer and announcements do you not like? - fair critcism - why is it trash to you? - why is it meh for you? - thats fair though an easy counter is it easier for map awareness and accessability - I assume you mean when zomming in? I hate to break it to ya, but zooming in does not magically make you gun function differently. If you want it to increase accuracy, by how much? - whats the classic spot? Do you want the size of the metals increased? - can you elaborate what you mean by thrusters and teleporters (provide example maps) and also note, we only have 3 maps.
One thing is appreciate is that weapons are random, like how I can play on Live Fire twice in a row and one game a sniper will spawn in the middle and the other a skewer will spawn. So even though I personally like it, I can get why others wouldn’t.
Also I feel like sprint is pretty balanced with the ability to reload while sprinting, time to shoot out of sprint being drastically reduced, and the overall speed of sprint being reduced. I’ve never really cared about sprint, I’ll play a Halo game with or without sprint (though personally I would rather have it) but I think Infinite’s sprint might please the anti-sprinters. Of course that’s just my opinion, I’m not an expert on game balance so I’m not too confident that what I say on it is accurate.

How about you reply with reasons why you like them. At a later date I will update my post and include the reasons why I think they are a bad addition.

im not debating you here. That wasnt the point of the post. I am merely saying if your gonna provide a pro con list on the forums, you should provide reasoning so devs can look at it as they are looking through these forums. If you don’t want to give a reasoning fine, but don’t go into launch expecting improvements without providing that info

I said that I am going to update it at a later date, I want to hear what other people want to say though (Maybe you saw my reply before i updated it?). I have updated some of them, looking forward to other people thoughts.
