Hello, I just wanted to provide some feedback after I played a few hours of the game. I understand the game is in beta right now, please disregard if an issue that I have listed has or will be addressed.
XP / BATTLE PASS
-I enjoy the multiplayer and I understand that the experience system was updated but, to be honest, I don’t see the improvement. If I do not complete any challenges in a game, I am only receiving 50xp for completing that match regardless of my performance. For example, If I get 20 kills I do not believe that I should be receiving the same amount of experience as someone who got 3. I understand the need for challenges but I feel that players should be rewarded for better performance. Furthermore, It takes 1,000xp to level up once in the battle pass which would take 20 games to complete 1 level without other challenges. The battle pass is coming off as something extremely hard to complete especially for casual players. The Halo Master Chief Collection is an example of a rewarding battle pass system.
MULTIPLAYER
-I think there needs to be a way to choose what game type you want to play. There are several challenges for completing a certain game type which results in a player sitting in a queue hoping that they get that mode.
-In the oddball game type I think the carrier of the ball should be able to 1 hit melee enemies similar to previous Halo titles. The carrier as of this point is not able to defend themselves without the help of teammates. I understand the need for teamwork but the carrier is extremely under-equipped to defend themselves. If a 1 hit melee is not feasible, an extra shield is also a good option.
-Grenade spamming is a big issue. There have been times where I have upwards of 5 grenades being thrown at me just for them to resupply grenades from map spawns. Removing grenade spawns may fix this problem.
