I’ve always felt the decrease in motion tracker range that happened in Halo 5 was a big negative - coupled with the fact that the Spartan charge, faster sprint and thruster packs meant even if you saw someone coming behind you it was often too late.
I’d prefer 25 meters again but Halo Infinite’s motion tracker is a better experience for me so far than Halo 5 was.
I KNOW right? Remember when 343 did an ‘inside infinite’ blogpost about how robust the game’s sound would be? In both campaign and multiplayer? They talked about sound being a bigger element in gameplay, now that’s gone down the drain,
The radar is overall bugged. I’ve had people shooting me in the face or sprinting right at me and it would not how them on the radar.
Most of the times I am able to see red dots when people are walking on top or under me. The other 20% of the time the radar does nothing. IDK what the issue is but it should be fixed by the full launch.
The sound cues are really bad too. You can barely hear the gun fire coming from behind you which is bizarre. I’m not sure if it’s intentional or a bug.
And make it even worse? sounds like a terrible idea. I like the idea of increased radar for when moving and small radar when staying still for any change. People should just look around to see people rather than hide looking at a radar like cowards.
by any chance do you use a logitech headset? Because this seems to be an ongoing issue with some Logitech headsets (such as mine). I found a fix on reddit that worked for me. My issue was that the rear channel was essentially noiseless, someone could be shooting me literally directly behind and there would be NO sound, but if they were in front or to the side I could mostly hear them.
The solution involves switching to dolby atmos, it’s $15 on the microsoft store for a lifetime subscription and you can also get 7 days free.
I just like moving round the map getting in gunfights and playing the obj without worrying about somebody camping round every corner with a sword or hammer getting easy kills. Thats all radar seems to be ever used for.
I think nostalgia sometimes makes us remember things better than they were but I have to say this is imho the best halo since halo 3 for multiplayer. I actually enjoyed halo 5 campaign quite a bit. If you need a reminder, cuz I had blissfully forgotten, boot up cod and between the camping, dropshots, no scopes and basically only two or three choices for weapons. Connections are awful and so is the community. Halo Infinite definitely needs some tweaking but nothing major re: gameplay. Make small incremental changes. The progression, ranked, cosmetics and other non-essentials all deserve a major overhaul however even if they don’t change anything outside weapon balance I’m gonna be playing this for quite a while.
