The sound and some visuals are bad...

I’m not in the flight, only seen a small selection of videos but the enemy outlines are worse than I was expecting. Already made a topic on this a few weeks ago. Looks like stealth will be tricky to pull off in this game and it looks like the game will be very much spoon feeding me enemy locations on screen.

The explosions from grenades is very strange looking, especially in red for the spike grenades, it looks more like a 2D dense cartoon cloud than an explosion, hopefully this is not the final version of the animation.

And the sounds, well, the “Triple Kill” announcement is underwhelming. I haven’t seen enough of the other medals yet to point out any others but “Triple Kill” sounds like a bad take. *Edit: I just heard “Overkill” and it sounds wrong too. Its like “triple KILL” and “over KILL” when it should be “TRIPLE kill” and “OVER kill”

And the most annoying, possibly game breaking, thing for me is that a bunch of the cool battle sounds are accompanied by annoying blips and bleeps in your hud like in Halo 5. In general there is just too much sound. Spartans shouting things like “I picked up an S7 Sniper Rifle” is quite forced and lame dialogue. I’ll be happy if I can turn most of it off but at the same time dont want to be at a disadvantage if I turn it off so if I can’t turn it off without losing a competitive edge then I’m basically not going to play the game. I don’t want to turn Jeff’s voice off though, so hopefully there are some better recordings for the medals.
