I know many will disagree with my opinions, but I want to leave my notes after playing the halo infinite beta. This radar is almost useless now. The halo 3 motion tracker was far better in my opinion; now there’s never indication a player is in the same room as you until it’s too late. Melees no longer lunge at a decent range, you literally got to be face and face now. Snipers zoom and rate of fire is ridiculously slow. Rocket launcher equip time to fire rate is too long. Pistol is op, halo 4 had it balanced out. Game Hud is horrendous and small, readability is an issue here. Grenades dropped after dying glow gold/yellow, similar to thrown grenades, which makes it hard to determine the difference, could be changed to white or no color indication at all. The throw distance of grenades are also too short ranged, it feels like you’re throwing a 50lb ball across the map now. Having no headshot reticle is disappointing.
I dont mean to diminish your complaints, but all the threads like this remind me of myself back on bungie.net when Halo 2 came out.
Bump! Reasonable observations
I disagree about the pistol, but I think everything else here sounds like solid feedback.
no game releases perfectly but if you think that these are the big issues, they can be solved pretty easily. I love the base game so far wby yall
Nice points. I would agree here mostly. Also, the warthog accelerates far too quickly. And doesn’t feel as heavy and weighty as it should.

Very good observation. I agree with you on that it doesn’t feel heavy.

Very true. I would definitely say that these are my main concerns with the current game mechanics and I do hope the development team gives this a second and closer look. The base game is great, I like the pacing so far.
Definitely agree on the Radar, dunno why the keep changing the damn thing, its 20m’s keep it that way, lol
Also, holy christ my version of the flight crashes SO SO SO much.
every 5 mins, or on launch, in the menu so on and so forth!

I would say 25 meters for the radar. I don’t care too much if the radar feature indicates if the enemy is above, below, or in a vehicle. So far I’ve only crashed twice.
Umm I agree radar is useless but pistol is fine. Melees shouldn’t be like an Elite sword so I think it’s fine. I agree that sniper is a bit too slow but rocket is sort of ok and yeh I think the HUD stuff could do with being a bit bigger.

Now I can’t even get the multiplayer “menu” to load. I click multiplayer and it just gives me an endless loading screen
I agree with all of this. We also need Jeff to be the announcer in BTB for the medals at the LEAST. Agryna is so annoying just like palmer was for 5. Aim assist need to be turned up more console and PC, that red dot turn off thing they did makes no sense. Why alienate PC players just bc cheat is possible? Have a better anti cheat then 343. Don’t punish everyone for the potential of a bad batch. I play exclusively on console too and I feel bad for the PC players.
Also, is it too much to ask for the plasma pistol to EMP vehicles?? I literally will never use that otherwise. And also please make an over all SP ranking system with exp awarded at the end of each match for the things you do… like Reach, 4, 5 did.
Otherwise I’ve had the most fun with Halo that I’ve had in YEARS. It’s almost there it just needs a few tweaks. I hope 343 reads and implements these things. Dies t need to be at launch if it’s not feasible, bit definitely within the first 3 months. Otherwise they may lose a lot of the potential newcomers they wanted to pull In and vets they NEED to retain
I agree with the HUD. It would be awesome if we could customise to have it where we like. I’d love to have it like the halo 3 HUD.
I think I agree about the pistol. But, I dunno. Feel like I need more time with the game to decide and maybe just get used to how the new game flows.

Be cool if since the helmets are all different models, it stands to reason the visor layouts would have some differences?
Just more a cosmetic thing for helmets.
It would also be cool if the game could stop crashing, and if I could actually play the damn multiplayer, even my friend whom I gave my friend code to can’t play the multiplayer, he gets the same issue!

Yeah, I suppose realistically they could. Although, that may make the game uneven depending on how dramatic the differences would be haha.
Oof…you playing on pc? I’ve been playing on pc and had it crash only once. Sorry you are having a hard time getting it to run. 
Have you made a ticket?

Yeah and we had Halo 3 after that, so I guess that payed off.

Melees definitely need an improvement. I agree it shouldn’t be like an energy sword, it never was, but I think the halo 3 melee system was great. Needs a closer look for sure.

I’m not sure on this one. I think it’s something I’d have to play more to get a better opinion on.

For the record H2 was Halo’s first online game so you had only a single player or lan version to compare it to.
How can any one play test this at 343 and not notice how bad it is…Bungie released Halo games when they were ready
343 is a disgrace
