Alright so all week this forum went up in flames of all things that were just a little off in the game. But 343 wont pay mind to little details that a thread gets little to no attention to, so, if you agree with me, please comment and keep this thread going as to keep 343 informed with what is wrong in this game. Im sure I’ll miss some issues so comment and ill add them to the OP. By the way I’d like to say i love this game, and i just want to help the whole community out by trying to get the messege to 343.
So I’ll start with forge.
-No precision editing (zooming in) means maps will have Z-coordinate fighting, and look messy. Many ascetics, and just smooth map flow relies on this, which can be seen from Reach.
-On Erosion, after passing a certain budget point, the dynamic lighting stops working and makes the map look bland and boring, like a lot of Reach maps. I don’t know if this happens on Impact or Ravine, but it does on Erosion.
-Environments aren’t varied and big enough, making it hard to make unique maps using the terrain, and BTB maps will look similar because of this. Obviously this can’t be changed by an update, but just saying for future reference if another forge map was to be released.
-Not sure if an update could do this aswell, but there is no UNSC flying vehicles, minor detail, but still could be useful in the future, and disappoints me that there is none in the multiplayer.
Multiplayer.
-Multiple geometry holes, causing broken gameplay, and generally -Yoink!- people off.
-Abandon spawns = Cluster in the middle of map, a lot of space being wasted.
-Gametype customizations are a huge set back. Practically no customization in flood, and who doesn’t like a classic game of duck hunt? You can’t change the flood’s weapons or armor ability, RIP mini games.
-No Race/VIP gametype, Racing in halo has built a pretty big community, and forgers spend alot of hours making these maps, I feel that it only be right to have it back, as no gametype can really be made to do what race did.
-No Insane gametype. Don’t really have to explain this, because insane, race and infection were the powerhouse of casual customs and minigames.
-There are only 4 maps in rotation for Infinity Slayer, or atleast thats all ive seen (sr 39, mostly from infinity slayer) and gameplay gets stale after a while.
-No objective BTB
8v8 ctf on Ragnarok just sounds so sweet
-I know there will be a rotating schedule of playlists but I feel that there should still be more static playlists like SWAT, snipers, rumble pit, and grifball.
Other.
-Haven’t confirmed if this will always happen, but I played through Rally Point Alpha on Shutdown (campaign mission) and had to stop for the night, and the next day the game said i was at Rally Point Charley, so i continued from charlie, and had to redo that mission after i beat the campaign and didn’t get the achievement till I finished it.
-No theatre for Campaign/Spartan Ops, I know this has been said before, but just reiterating that it’s a nice feature to have and the community misses it.
-Just a suggestion, putting a progress bar for the commendation needed to unlock armor pieces. EX: 100/200 splatters under the verdant visor.
-No file system on Waypoint yet (I know this is being done, just putting it in because it is an issue)
These are setbacks, but I must say I’m loving this game, and I hope 343 works out these kinks, because I would hate to see my favorite game series fail.
