I would like there to be a way to earn all gear customisation through game-play after purchasing the game. Previous titles didn't lock every piece of gear behind an extra pay wall.

XP system needs to be reworked. At this rate it will take 1 year to finish the Battle Pass. 50 XP after match is not enough.

I'm getting some weird audio crackling/stuttering. It seems to be somewhat tied to the bad ingame vsync or something with the framerate. If I use nvidia control panel to turn on vsync its much better but not perfect. It's most noticeable with the spartan's voices but sound effects are effected as well. The menu music doesn't seem to have any issues.

Mostly High settings (tried with lower settings with no change)
Ryzen 5 3600
Nvidia 2060Super
32GB RAM
NVME SSD
144Hz GSync Monitor
Windows 11
Nvidia Driver Version 496.49

ttk feels just little to long

From what I can tell you only gain exp from challenges? I've always been very passive with challenges, I hope the final release of multiplayer has exp on match completion and not just challenges. Exp gain from challenges is also horrendous.

Please allow us to just remove keybindings. C for grenade is weird to me, and being forced to replace it with another button even though G exists still is weird.

Big Team Battle is awesome. I'm a Planetside 2 player so big chaotic fights are my kind of jam. You just can't go back to little baby fights after playing Planetside.

Let us turn off text chat

[Your Pal Skippy]

the weird red shield and blue shield thing's annoying and i hate it. bring back classic red and blue armor please. also make the season levels less annoying to grind.

[Papa Supreme]

I seem to be having a problem where whenever I play multiplayer my game will CTD mid game. It was doing fine when I was doing the training courses but once I do it with other players it refuses to complete a single match.

[The Stoic Heroic]

-You lock the ability to use any Halo Reach armour in the Battle Pass but it doesn't even have a majority of the Reach armour in it. You probably have it behind additional pay walls. Feels like you're taking advantage.

-Coatings do not apply over multiple armour sets. You can micro transactions these alternate patterns/texture systems but let me pick the damn colours.

-Why do all these new helmets have these big chunky cheeks and jaws and these boring large flat sides of the head you over corrected from the Previous art style.

MkVII helmet is however an excellent design. It's reminiscent of Mk VI and MK V(B) helmets while being its own thing and does not suffer from design choices others do mixing curves and lines well.

-walking through players is absolutely ridiculous

-Vehicle balance is wild.
For example the Warthog you made it way too fast, in turn making it much harder to aim in the side or turret so you bumped up the turret rate of fire to compensate. You also seem to have made splatters harder to perform because of the vehicle speed and also made hijacks way to easy to perform. In a ghost I was boosting directly at a guy and he just hijacked me no issues.

-Equipment being automatically picked up feels bad. I would rather actively hold a button to pick it up so I have a mental note of whats equipped and also so I don't pick up something that a teammate might want for no reason.

-Motion Tracker its terrible. Moving at full speed without showing up on radar is bad. It used to reward sneaking slowly behind an enemy but now it only show sprinting players and because it is barely an increase in speed really throws of the risk reward dynamic of how it should work. It also does seem to give as advance of information as in Reach that subtly informed you if an enemy was above or below you which would be useful in a game with these

-Melee feels like it is lacking range or a lunge my muscle memory is way off from playing MCC and it feels terrible.

- Aim assist is off I don't know if its from the Bug on PC I have been hearing about or if its just lacking in general.

-Weapons like the Stalker Rifle seem completely out classed by the Pistol due to its higher rate of fire and solid damage while still being very accurate at extended ranges.

-The Bulldog feels too weak melee feels more effective so why bother wasting a weapon slot.

-Plasma Carbine is just all around terrible.

-Many weapons feel like they have too much recoil (Sentinel beam, VK) have to slow a rate of fire (Shock Rifle, Stalker Rifle) or not enough damage (Bulldog)

-Scope glare or whatever it is is absolutely blinding at times.

-Grenades feel useless terrible damage drop from AOE and don't seem to be thrown if get killed when you thrown them.

-Spawn kills happen frequently because even though the maps are larger you can traverse them much faster and quite a few have just a large open area in the center that can basically see from one side of the map to the other except a hallway behind a wall. Its just constant madness no ebb and flow to a battle anymore.

-The sound design makes it feel like an explosion 6 meters away is halfway across the map. I feel like Mr.Magoo sometimes walking by a flurry of explosive blasts that I couldn't even tell were right there.

-I am constantly hearing little pings and boops I have no idea what they're representing and its annoying like someones phone going off constantly with every possible alert notification.

-On top of weekly challenges I would like to see Seasonal and life time challenges that take a long time to complete but with a big pay off like Commendations from Halo Reach.

-Theater just has a tendency to not load half of the matches properly.

-Since the beginning of the Tenrai event the season tab and challenges are loading very slow which is frustrating to find out what challenges I need before starting a match.

It is not a bad game and you have done some cool things like the Bots are all specific characters that's a really enjoyable addition but it really feels lacking as a halo Game. I'm hoping to enjoy the campaign and custom games with friends but both or those are also swirling the toilet with the lack or co-op and forge. I am trying to have faith that you can make a good Halo Game but I have ended up disappointed in the franchise for the last 10 years. 3 strikes and your out, I'm not sticking around any longer if you can't make it work.

I don't want to be harsh I just want halo to be as good as it can and I know it can be better.

[WildsGuard]

I don't like the fact that challenges are the only way to progress the Battle Pass and the fact that the BP is the only form of progression.

Better way you could've done this is at the start, let players select what game modes/playlists they would be focused on playing and then the weekly challenges are generated based on that, that way progression is catered to an individuals preferences and they're not forced to play a certain way which could be detrimental in a team based environment.

On top of that, have per match XP and an additional progression system other than the BP. Bungie had systems that worked which you can pick and choose from, you don't need to reinvent the wheel.

[BarDocK]

can we get a fullscreen option? not just borderless but actual native fullscreen

[Lysander Of Sparta]

Like most others, I really, really don't care to only earn XP from challenges. It seems like an additional time waster to "encourage" people to buy stuff. Just have XP progression like every other game.

[Stormtrooper]

I love the new armors, gameplay, weapons, maps, everything is perfect but the coatings. All i wanted was a white armor, but instead i find that the only way to get it is to grind and buy a battle pass to get a coating (bleached bone) which i dislike due to the white techsuit. if coatings are going to be locked behind a paywall at least the basic colors should be availible and free. For example cadet white or recruit white.

[Rose E. Cheeks]

I keep getting disconnected from matches. I don't know if my internet connection is bad or the servers are having issues.
Also, when i disconnect multiple times I get temp ban like I left mid match and it's really annoying.

[LizShoebill]

im sure its being worked on but damn I wish it wouldnt split up my premade fire team with randoms like if its 4 of us in big team battle keep us in the same fireteam so I can see them easier I dont care where the random player is I wanna be able to see my friends highlights with a different color, also a fireteam chat would be nice yall kinda ♥♥♥♥ over mute players I dont want my messages brodcasted to the entire team just my premade one a toggle would be nice.
