THERE IS NO FFA SLAYER ONLY MODE.
ninja sucks
oddball sucks
vampire sucks
Sprint, clamber, ADS. these are all the root of the problem, it ends up effecting things like maps, vehicles, gunfights and more, to the point it just doesnt feel like Halo.
Dedicated Servers. 6 months and still nothing sick of getting into 180-220 games. I live in Australia I wish they had a region choice, I would happily wait longer searching for a match with better ping. I stoppped playing because of this and jumped back on recently and its just still the same, Plus i found desync issues are even worse.

The 343 bots in the academy’s training mode breaker map don’t cross over and fight each other.
-
The 343 bots in a custom game in BTB:CTF at Fragmentation don’t know how to put the captured enemy flag in the right place to score points.
-
The academy’s training mode doesn’t reflect an actual game in multiplayer:
- No flag or other capturing options
- No extra weapons or vehicles.
- Bots should drive vehicles and wasps.
Lastly, the MM system is a laughing joke. At Onyx, I’m matching with or against low plat, gold, or even silver players sometimes. Me (Onyx) and my two friends, (D5, D6) both matched with a player who went 2-31 in our oddball game. Everyone started harping on him for not carrying his own weight but after we the carnage report, he was only a silver player and it wasn’t even his fault. Why are we being matched with new players at a higher level?
dude seriously, this is exactly my feedback.
It leaves one to wonder if there are enough players at all to match people up properly

They still haven’t fixed the Lenovo legion contrast issues, I just want to play the campaign ;-;
My biggest gripe is the default aim assist. Why cant we have options😕
I’m going to keep mine short and simple.
-Player collision.
-Level progression, & better Spartan ID stats and waypoint tracking (literally would love to just see the ranks from MCC where you get a higher medal 
next to your name as you level up)
-Assassinations with customization options (yes I’ll even pay money for a cool enough assassination don’t @ me)
- Add the commendations system from Halo 5 and cosmetics unlocks for achievements and permanent community challenges. This is a great way to pad out some grind for more hardcore players and is another reason to keep playing. (Doesn’t need to be anything crazy could be stick 1000 players get a grenade charm or something for example.)

Good to see you too! Welcome back.
I’ve been less active too lately, been a bit demoralised by the community and devs.
Trying to regain that Halo-enthusiasm though.

Make more feminine color pallets for female players. I’m sick of subscribing to battle passes for the sake of 1 slightly feminine item. Currently grinding to level 59 for ONE item in lone wolves…I have a group of girls I play with and a drive for most of us to grind and stay in-game is for customization options which are VERY limited for female players. It isn’t fair because we are paying and want to have things worth grinding for.
I’ve talked to several guys i game with and we all agree that following the most recent update, mutiplayer right now is absolute trash. Only thing we have in common is that we’re all on xbox series s or x, hit detection is trash, grenades are trash, melee is trash, literally 7hrs gaming and 2 wins, whereas before the update 3-4 out of 5 games was a win, always positive kda, it’s absolutely not an enjoyable game to play right now and seriously considering uninstalling the game altogether, because of its current state and the direction its heading in, as bad as the gameplay is, how much do 343 really appreciate their players to increase the price of cosmetics? Its no wonder player base is dropping.

Local play. Please let 4 people play locally on one console and in big team battle. It really makes no sense to allow 4 players to play quick play or team slayer yet limit big team battle to 2 local person limit! Please change it to at least 4 local players. Can’t play with more than one friend or family member locally like the old days. It sucks. COD does the same thing. Family and friends still play locally together and want to play multi-player on one console and online!
Maps, maps, maps. Its really not that hard. Players should be able to download map packs like before. I have an idea, why not recreate original maps from all the previous Halo games and release them. A few for free and pay for the rest? That would keep players online with classic maps. Enough with paying for amor and colors! Its crazy that its 343 focus to make players pay for upgrades when were able to unlock things by playing and grinding after buying the game.
Remember when players were able to lock on to vehicles, Bashee, etc with rockets? Yes bring that back because online mp battles with teams using vehicles non stop make them kind of unstoppable and randoms just quick instead of playing like a team. Happens too often. Bringing back the lock on with rockets can even thing’s out.
I love Halo. Still have my original Xbox and 360 and all Halo games but the maps are repetitive and some are just boring or too small. Miss the intentional glitches Bungie made that took me, friends and family hundreds of hours to find and explore.
The biggest thing that gripes me the most, is that the need to do something new often supercedes the need to create something complete.
In the Bungie era they occasionally talked about how often they would get too ambitious, or realize that something grand and new was simply going to take too much time away from more important parts of the game, so they opted to just keep things as they were for the sake of polish and ending up with a complete game. This was a lesson hard-learned from Halo 2, they overextended their ambition with that game and a year before launch realized it was just unrealistic and impossible to make it work. So they had a hellish year of extreme crunch, practically building the game over from scratch and sticking closer to what Halo CE had done just to ship the game as complete as it was. Polish took a huge hit because of it, and Halo 2 is notoriously patched together with paperclips and chewing gum.
343 on the other hand from the very beginning has always tried to change things, and do new things at the expense of the rest of the game. 4 needed an all new artstyle, a new poorly thought out loadout system, new but ultimately super generic forerunner weapons, and new but extremely half baked and poorly balanced enemy faction etc. More recently with Infinite, every game mode needs to be different than it was before, campaign needs to be this big open world, it all has to run on a brand new engine etc. Instead of dialing back the ambition, and focussing on first getting the game content-complete and polished for release we got what we got.
It wasn’t worth it. Bungie understood that, 343i doesn’t.

TL;DR sorry
Issues:
-
pandering to the pro community: I don’t care if they’re better than me. I don’t care if they think this gives them reason to belittle comments from “lesser skilled players”. They’re opinions are as valid as anyone else’s…in fact I’d lean towards their opinions being less valid than casual “play for fun” players because the majority of people play halo to have fun - not to win tournaments. Why does a ranked playlist have different gun settings to standard slayer and WHY is there objective on there when all I want is team slayer with BR starts and no radar - and a rank to indicate my skill?
-
boring content: armour cores are boring. To date, there is nothing that makes me think “wow - that’s cool”. It’s just another helmet in bashed up grey; with a colour scheme locked behind a paywall. Where are the maps? Where is the community playlist? Where is the postgame lobby? Lobby chat?
-
poor development studio output: halo MCC? Bad release, halo 4? Boring maps. Halo 5? Poor support. Halo infinite? Poor support, content, progression system, timeline, paywall for colours, and a ranking system that works so bad they put a cap in there to prevent boosting (rather than FIXING THE ISSUE).
Honestly. I could go on.
…ok just a bit more.
I hate everything about todays halo EXCEPT for the basic gameplay loop. I hope they retire the IP and create something new because, honestly, there are too many people who want too many different things and this ultimately results in not enough of anything
#1, The lack of creativity, because the lack of inspiration/passion.
2, The beta is being mainly treated as a business, to where 343 is just looking at the player base as numbers, not company creating a game for it’s player base.
3, The beta was designed around the shop/BP that ruined the Halo experience that also has caused a lot of unnecessary issues with game modes.
4, 343 literally lied to the player base about customization prior to the beta being released, “claiming” there were hundreds and thousands of options for paying and none paying players.
5, Drip feeding content, that they can’t ever add Co-Op that has always been a basic thing in Halo, and it’s going on a year. Do I dare mention anything else that is not in the game yet, because it a huge list, and I mean Huge? Also, from what’s being said, there won’t be an expansion until 2025. I can’t tell you how wrong that actually is.
6, This one bother me a lot. 343 is not a studio that has a full crew of employees that are full time employees. This means issues, bugs, glitches and any other problems will take a lot longer to deal with.
7, How the maps are designed in this beta cased 343 to make some unnecessary changes like collusion, balancing, etc…
8, The entire beta has issues as it is expected when releasing a new game, but it’s taking way too long to make adjustment to improve thing that it is literally out of their control.
9, This one really bothers me. The quality of the beta and the structure of the beta is in a vary poor state. It’s way to easy to tell (none Halo players designed this beta.) Just looking at how the campaign/open world was designed says enough. It shows that there was no where near enough play testing that they didn’t even spot just the tank alone how out of place it is in the majorly clustered open would.
There is a lot more that bothers me but what I posted sticks out to me the most at this point.
The only thing I kind of like about this beta is the game play, but ill leave that alone.

As a lore fanatic and someone who latched onto Halo for their love of its rich universe, most of it boils down to the extremely limited scope the franchise has covered, even when it was under Bungie. There is so much potential and content throughout every installment whether it be one of the games, novels, or comics. Yet if it isn’t directly linked to humanity and the Forerunners it gets nothing.
343’s obsession with Spartans & the franchise’s strange inability to expand upon its non-human/forerunner universe. There are at least a dozen other species now, newcomers as well due to the release of the Halo Encyclopedia this year which introduced even more. Yet almost all of them are painfully shallow. ery little culture, social structure, or history. Sangheili are the only species outside of those two to get attention, and even then, it’s stupid rare.
