So far its a lot of fun…but it is no where near being a finished game. Its so unbalanced. Vehicles are way too quick and way too weak, weapons are very unbalanced, spawing is ok but not the best, radar is useless in btb the range should be increased, shields take way too long to recharge and what feels like 2 bullets takes your shields out, grenades feel like there magnetised to you when they land anywhere near and no matter how many corners you run around bullets follow you, the amount of times you would die for no reason as well as barely shoot someone and they die too easily, everytime a match finishes i had to dashboard quit so i can play another because it would say not connected to server, the menus are terrible and seem unresponsive.
The only way i must be experience this is because im on the OG xbox one. I am having fun and when the game seems ok i can do some great stuff but most of the time its just havoc and not the fun type more like the game cant cope havoc. How its been for you. I for one would like to see a lot of work on this because it doesnt feel like a working game
The vehicle spawns need sped up. Also not a fan of the randomness of pelican drops. One drop is a ghost and the next a scorpion. I also don’t like how beefier vehicles spawn way late in the game if at all…cough scorpion *cough. The other games like Reach had the vehicle spawns well balanced and wasn’t a mad dash to use them.

Didnt even get a chance to see a scorpion. Not a fan of the random drops either. They should have it in a way that the points you make in the game gives you the ability to call in a vehicle. So you have enough points by kills, assists, etc that you go to your teams base find a UNSC radio or terminal and select from the choices depending on how many points you have and it will spawn the vehicle on the map for your team or even the enemy could get it. It’ll be up for grabs to fight over. At least this way id be more exited to see a pelican
The radar is so useless, by the time I see someone on it im already shot in the back. The warthog is so slippery and flips so easy. I feel like they should increase the slayer score to 150 instead 100. I do like the ghost and feel like there are plenty of counters to it.

Mostly agree - I feel like - especially on the btb map, the vehicles are very limited. Too many narrow corridors where people just dump the shock grenades on you that instantly you or just 2 seconds of focus fire and your gone.
Honestly I think the issue is the map. I’m loving arena gameplay but the btb map doesn’t bring back btb experiences similar to past halos - and usually I enjoy btb more than arena.
The other BIG issue I have is with the weapon drops. I don’t know when they drop (or where) and it’s a bit stupid if I have to keep doing my AI scan to get that info. Additionally, the drop pods easily break so I often just see - or rather have a very hard time seeing - a floating weapon . Related to that I haven’t been able to AI scan in btb but maybe that’s just a key binding issue.
Edit: on further thought, the shock grenades are like overpowered energy drainer with respect to vehicle EMP effect. You get 2 uses and the AOE is quite large.
