anyone play in pc? with me only stay screen black

it takes a solid 15 minutes to load up the first time, at least it did on my SSD, could take longer on an HDD

The Sprint Shake is kinda jarring to stare at. I turned the Camera Shake all the way down. but it still doesn't look the best, and is visually hard to look at.

Bots are always taking the same route on the start of the map, now i'm just prenading where they come from to get easy Quadras.
Sometimes the bot go total "BOT" just standing on their spot to get killed.

haha where is this throw, im asking for a friend

Can't access a match - I join one, and there's a black screen with 3 dots and then I go back to the menu after a few minutes ):

same here :( - Weapon Drills works though

Anyone else getting less performance than they expected? My game is pretty jittery and lower FPS than I was hoping on a 1660 Super.

The game starts with 24fps max, at least mine did. Make sure to change that

That was extremely jarring haha, thankfully I did notice that. With everything uncapped I'm still not usually able to hold a 60 fps, hovering around mid 50s

Bots are aight, but they need to jump and not just stay still during gunfights

I'm curious to see the bots get cranked up more. As far as I know we're still dealing with the easiest bots, there's supposed to be three more difficulties above this AI.

Slide feels pretty useless. Its slower than normal movement, creates a somewhat larger hitbox for spraying weapons to hit, and doesn't travel far enough. While base movement and sprint speed are well balanced, the slide itself is not something I would consider apart of that toolkit. Either buff it or remove it.

3 more things I'd also like to add, the reticle being white is pretty boring. It'd be cool to be customizable or just go back to the translucent blue that the reticles usually are. But on the cool side, holy hell the sniper is beefy, and honestly is the best sounding sniper in all of Halo, I love it so much! Tbh it might already be my favourite iteration of the sniper ever, handles beautifully as well. All the gun sounds are great imo. Though add more blood, its kind of weird shooting a spartan for only a bit of blood to spray out compared to CE/H2

[Jet Sreym]

I have a nit-pick about some gameplay mechanics.

The Motion Sensor: I can't tell when an enemy is above or below like I could in Reach or H4/H5, I hope this changes before release.

Throwing grenade animation: Why does the camera move so much when I throw a grenade, this is a huge departure from previous games and it's disorienting, I don't like it. I hope at least an option is added to turn off camera shake like that.

Oh oh another thing to spam this forum with guys! I love the AR and Sidekick as starting weapons. It satisfying for auto start fans like me, so that you don't spawn with an OP BR right away like in H2/H3. But it also doesn't disregard precision start fans with the sidekick, but it isn't overpowered either so you're still encouraged to scavenge for weapons. Holy hell boys, lower that TTK, add more blood... and Halo is BACK!

Quite a lot of games I have noticed that the bots all pathfind to the middle and end up in a clump of 3. Also sometimes 2 boys pathfind to the small hole passage on the map which gets them stuck

Please make an option for auto sprint. It feels so pointless to click a button to sprint. If there's no sprint stamina, sprinting should probably just be the default option so I don't wear down my joysticks.

Yes please to auto sprint! It's not the optimal way to play, but it's important for accessibility or comfort. And with the sprint-to-fire time being non-existent, it may not even be a disadvantage (or advantage).

The first main bug I have noticed so far is if you join a match in progress, the sound is all screwed up. Almost everything is dramatically quieter than normal, except for grunting sounds and callouts from the Spartan's of which is still at max volume. This is the only example I have found where the audio is messed up. Keep up the incredible work!
