I hope this thread doesn’t come off as hate, I really want to post some constructive criticism for 343 (even though I don’t even know if they will read this).
First of all, I experienced both very bad shot registration (it wasn’t lag) and very bad flinch with the AR. I don’t find the flinch necessary at all, but if it has to be in the game then it would be nice to see it toned down. The reason is, I feel like AR battles are won every time by the person who shoots first, and gun skill has no part. (This is just my opinion). If AR starts are going to appear often in the full game, I hope the AR is tweaked.
Also, I know this has already been posted by many people, but the matchmaking system needs lots of work. I’m not sure if anyone has experienced this, but for me it has shuffled teams around once they are ready to play the game. Sometimes, two or three three unranked people were literally moved to my team (even though teams were supposed to be set) while the other team was all high level players.
One thing I really enjoy about halo 5 is the BR. It feels very crisp, with good registration (for the most part), although I know some people have complained of too much bullet magnetism. I don’t think I’ve played enough of the beta to really be fully familiar with the BR, but I enjoy it.
One suggestion I have, but I’m not sure if it would work, is to lower the top sprint speed and raise base player speed. I feel this would give better map flow (and would not encourage sprinting away as much), but as I said, I’m not sure.
Anyways, that’s what’s on my mind for now. If I’m honest, I would like sprint to be removed. However, I know many people would disagree with this, and the game’s designed with sprint as a main component so it’s pointless to ask for the removal of sprint. I prefer the simpler halo games, but with some fixes, H5 could work.
Thank you for reading.
