Hello halo community. I hope you are enjoying the test on Halo 5 Beta. I have a few curious questions and statements to give to you all to share and explain to 343 what we want and see as loyal fans of the halo franchise.
-WEAPONS
*Assult Rifle has been a bit overpower against other weapons like the Battle Rifle and so forth. A small nerf will be fine.
*SMG is balanced and I see people use it in certain close quarter situations.
*Sniper needs to be buffed up. It takes to long to fire and feels a bit clunky. This game is fast pace so the sniper should be a bit faster like other halo games.
*Magnum feels good, but I noticed you can beat a BR, so nerfing its damge is recommend to balance it.
*Sword of Bane looks awesome, but had a short range. An increase in range will be lovely like other halo games.
*Battle Rifle feels like an actual BR so great job 343!
*DMR also feels good.
GAMEPLAY
*GroundPound is cool, however it sometimes messes up when I’m trying to BR someone or whtever weapon I’m using when I wanna hop in the air like other previous halo games. Needs to be nerfed. Also, rarely people use it so it needs to have a purpose to be used more if you are going to keep it. (Please remove it either way lol)
*Tackle is cool too, works in certain situations when they are not looking. They will defiantly destroy you if your running up to them and they start shooting you. It is balanced. Again rarely see peope use it. Needs a purpose or remove it.
*Flinch needs to be tweaked more or removed completely. The community didn’t like flinch on Halo 4 so why implement it on halo 5?
*Sprint is a hit topic. 50% love it and 50% hate it. Blame bungie for this not 343. However, 343 you have the power to take it away, but we as a community failed to have a 100% agreement on it. So its balanced in this game period. Just tweak the shots for those that run away. Make them go more slower as they are getting shot while running away.
*Hovering as you aim in mid air is great for casual players. Personally I don’t like it and you are able to disable it so Thank you for that 343 for that option.
*The game feels smooth so no complain to that besides the bugs when I’m in a party of 4, lags, etc, but hey its a beta so its ok.
QUESTIONS
*So what do you guys think of halo 5 weapons needing a nerf?
*Hot topic on Sprint?
*Should we get rid of Flinch or should we deal with it with a nerf?
*What needs to go in terms of gameplay like ground pound, tackleing, flinch, etc.
