Subject: Name Your 5 Biggest Flaws With The Beta

Were it so easy.

EDIT: Please stop posting saying you disagree with my list or think my list is dumb. I DON'T CARE. Thats not what the purpose of this thread is. And besides, most people have issues in common with my list anyways.

Aside from the server crash, name your 5 biggest flaws with the beta itself to help improve the game.

In no particular order...

1. Increase text size, I can't read a thing seriously

2. Make the overall speed of the game faster, increase jump height, increase running speed

3. Reduce damage on grenades, they are far too powerful

4. Make camo actually useful, its a joke to have to crouch to have actual camo. Make it regular camo with no radar jamming and no poor camo when running. If not that then at least rework it some practical way

5. Make the reticule more visible


Post your 5 flaws here, if we get enough of the major ones in common I think Bungie will actually make changes.

I love it too, but we need to give feedback to help Bungie make it better!

1. Darken the HUD a bit, including the reticule
2. Tweak the AR damage just a little bit to make it slightly more powerful, perhaps balance that with a bit more spread.
3. Decrease grenade damage or radius OR increase Spartan move speed.
4. Hit boxes are a little wonky still, but close to perfect.
5. There needs to be a dedicated playlist for Covy gametypes, that -blam!- is just plain fun.

This except Spartan jump height and speed.

1. Not being able to play it.
2. Assault rifle being the weakest weapon.
3. Targeting reticule on the pistol is to dark.
4. Not sure what needs to be done with the grenades but something really needs to be done to them.
5. Slayer arena only having 1 game type that uses the new armor abilities.

1.longer flight time

2.for the load out ability make it where it damages them or stuns them when its finished so when you go into it they cant sit there and wait for you to get up and kill you.

3.servers need to be fixed

4.maybe more damage

5. and the invisabilty thing you said

1 and 5 are pointless to complain about, Bungie is obviously trying to fix the servers and this is the beta, you can't complain about the playlists/gametype sicne it will be way different in the final game.

1. Grenades are over powered.

2. AR seems a bit underpowered...

3. Grenades are over powered.

4. Focus Rifle could use just a smidge more power.

5. Grenades are over powered.

I only have one :) The health pack system, it encourages people to camp next to or nearby health packs :) And I kinda like the idea that my health will regenerate in a couple of seconds :O Everything else is good though :D

HALO IS HELA AWESOME!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

1. Having to wait 20 mins just to join a game
2. Having the needle rifle take down sheilds slow
3. Having the ridicule low and hard to see
4. Took out some wanted emblems
5. Losing armor and credits
And those are my flaws for the beta
ps. Why bungie, Why do you have to make us lose things when we have to go i mean i dont want to play a 10min game and then i have to go and lose credits and Exp

Why does everyone keep saying the grenades are over powered? They're not OP, it's just that all the other weapons are under powered. The pistol and DMR should be 3 and 4sk respectively ( or make the bloom reset faster). Also the spartan movement is a bit slow, so you can't move away from them fast enough, hence the reason you guys all feel nades are "over powered"...

1. Grenades are overpowered
2. Darken the reticule
3. Increase Pistol mag by 2 bullets
4. Armor lock is a bit overpowered
5. Hitboxes are just a bit of-center

Besides those I think the game is fine.

I've only gotten into one game so far, but my main complaints are:

1. Control Scheme feels awkward
2. Somethings up about the grenades
3. Running feels a little sluggish
4. DMR feels awkward at certain points
5. Can't usually connect because of server issues (Only at 5 because it will likely be fixed very soon)

remember halo 1 when grenades actually did something and how fun it was to sometimes kill everyone in a warthog with one toss, lets keep grenades with some power, they are explosives after all.

They were perfect in Halo 3, they DID have power, no need to make them mini rockets...

Woke up to the best place ever; my bedroom. Time for a nap!
I have the ability to give a helping hand, but that doesn't mean I'll mess up.
Talking about game leeks can spoil the fun | Truth was right about the Reach Beta

I just want the ridicule less transparent, that thing is too thin to aim with, ESPECIALLY with the DMR and AR.

Other than that, everything seems fine on my end.

You retards need to get this notion that MP balance is what sells halo out of your head.

Apparently people are somehow concerned about MP gameplay balance when they buy a game. Halo sells because of HYPE. Where does hype come from? THE PREVIOUS GAMES. The balance of h3 MP had exactly 0% influence on halo 3 sales.

1. Bungie
2. Microsoft
3. "casual gamers"
4. the economy
5. the lack of dedicated servers

Thank god MLG can fix most of the problems, but that is going to be a really long time from now.

MOST IMPORTANT: Please tell us what our "commendations" are, it would make getting credits seems a lot more satisfying. Right now, I don't know why I get creds, so I just ignore them. Not cool.

1. Increase power for long range weapons EXCEPT sniper
2. Decrease range and power of FRAG grenades
3. Add a "Classic" control scheme that is exactly like the Halo 3 one.

Thanks all I can think off. Fun beta, once the servers were up.
