okay so to begin this game DIRELY need social playlists, like really bad… if I want to practice my aim after a while not playing I should be able to hop in a social playlist and have some fun. Competitve in Halo 5 is fun but I dont want to play it if im doing bad because I dont want to jeopardise my rank…
Next thing, Spartan Charge needs to go… in future titles please get rid of charge, the rest are fine aside from the slide may need some tweaking… Currently you can’t just take away an ability randomly so please add in a contoller option to turn off spartan charge. I dont care if im putting myself at a ‘disadvantage’ I find running behind someone and meleeing them in the back to be more reliable. The amount of times im about to assassinate someone then the moment I press is the moment the charge is ready I get caught off guard and charge right in front of the enemy and die…
These maps are… I hate to say but kind of bad… in their current states at least. For one thing, there is nowhere to hide whatsoever because the maps are either so small or are too open… Regret is a prime example, the place is too open and small that you can get double teamed by enemies who are in completly different segments of the map.
Please go into forge and fix the sightlines on these maps its especially noticable in SWAT.
Remixes were a horrid idea in my opinion. My main issue with remixes is that the maps are too similar, I can never remember where all the weapons are located on remix/original maps because I mistake them all the time resulting in my death many times. When the Remixes dont have this problem they have sightline issues, again Regret is my main example here there is so much wrong with that map I leave whenever I get it.
Next thing, map rotation… I cant stand map rotation, its not a bad idea, I liked the sound of it in the beginning, however, I should have the option to vote. My main playlist is SWAT, so my issue with map rotation mainly from here. I should have the option to vote for normal SWAT rather than get stuck with SWATnums. I cant stand SWATnums, I admit I just cant aim with the pistol consistantly in this game, so I should have the chance to try and get a gametype I enjoy.
Next thing is BR starts please, becuase these maps are so open, anyone who picks up a ranged weapon and is semi decent with it means they are going to decimate players, BR starts can help combat this, maybe for people who enjoy AR have a BR and AR starting loadout.
Next thing the two new weapons… I have yet to come across someone who genuinely enjoys them, its one thing if they feel like an underpowered powerweapon but they dont, to me they feel like weapons I only pick up if im low on ammo or I really have nothing better. The majority of players ignore the Hydra alltogether and for good reason, its useless, players can evade the homing shots really easily and the thing takes too long to reload for what its worth. The Plasma Caster is just uhhh to me its not a reliable weapon at all, id take a needler over it or a suppressor.
Next thing, The power weapons selections.
Most maps have a plasma caster on them as a power weapon, god forbid swap it out for something more effective, nobody picks it up and more often than not in my experiance people cant get one ir two kills with it before they die. Where is the Incineration Cannon? Where are the swords?
Where are the Shotguns?
Next thing, dunno if its just me but since launch I havnt played one match on Truth if its still called that, its annoying me because all I get is Regret and I absolutly hate Regret.
Next Thing. The spawns in SWAT need alot of work, the amount of times ive died the second I spawn is rediculous, especially on Orion and Pegusus.
Next thing, spawns in general need a look at, in Slayer ive died many times as ive been spawned with the enemies surrounding me or ive spawned so close to them the moment I run forward out of the open into cover im surrounded.
Next thing, the radar needs I boost In size range it can detect, its waaay too small.
Next thing, FFA needs to be dropped from 8 to 6 players, on these map sizes its hard for a solo player to deal with 7 others and you double teamed a lot…
Thats all I can think of right now but I will find more XD
Loving the game so far but it needs some work in the upcoming weeks/months.
