Tech Preview - Suggestions Before Release

Here are some possible things to fix before release:

Bots

  • Bots are predictable at the start of the game, they all run to the same spot. I’ve gotten at least a double at the beginning of each game with grenades on Live Fire
  • Bots don’t chase you when your life is low. I’ve found that a bot can have full life, get me down to 1-shot, and I can just hide around the corner and they run away.
  • Bot grenades might be overpowered as well as their sidearm shooting. Or maybe they just were using it on me.
  • Bots sometimes stand around and jump in place
  • Sometimes a bot will just stand there and let me gun them down
  • Spartan bots feel like they are the same difficulty of ODST bots. Just a little better than them. Other than that, the bots were great! I like how they do things like use the grapple hook and gravity hammer in unison.

Academy

  • Drills were a great addition to the game. I feel like some of the weapons need different shooting ranges. Like the sniper. In the sniper drill, all the guys spawn at a similar head level. You can just look left and right for quick headshots. It would be better to have a range for weapons like the sniper where you have the guys spawn higher and lower. So you have to adjust your aim drastically.
  • 3 stars in the Academy is also too easy to get to. I am not the best Halo player and I hit 3 stars within a couple of rounds.

Other

  • I feel that there is a lack of auto-aim. Coming from playing Halo 5 to this had me swinging my gun around in the beginning. I got used to it after a while, but I feel I have to work harder when aiming.
  • Plasma rifle and needler might be overpowered
  • When you die there is some type of explosion noise that makes you think you died by a grenade, but it will say you died by a sidearm?
  • Map voting would be a plus
  • Sprint speed is perfect!
