They adjusted it after the most recent flight and it sucks. They didn't need to touch it.

Anyone else's game crashing randomly while in a match? Happened to me twice now and can't tell if it's a me issue or what?
Yeah the commando though just being a fully auto DMR, it is not the same.
I thought the ravager felt weaker. Didn't remember reading about it. The bulldog has been trash since day 1. No reason to remove the old shotgun and add this trash heap lol
ugh, thought it was just me.....i was wrecking with it in the last flight but now i'm getting multiple hits with it on cracked enemies and they just won't. go. down.
Didn't know that. No wonder I thought it was sucking and opted for the AR in BTB.
I actually found the flight bulldog to be very satisfying. Now it feels terrible.
I think it's a good addition if we still had the old shotty as a power weapon but with it removed the bulldog is just going to be compared to it and it's a letdown bc of that.
Is that the shotgun? The art design is really cool for that weapon.
Can't disagree there.
Because it felt a lot better during the flight so by comparison it feels slow and weak.
That is what is going to happen when you force a game mode on people who don't really want to play it.
Hot take, but this game is going to be dead in like 5 months if they don't significantly improve multiplayer fast.
its a one shot headshot on no shields
thats a molten hot lava take
Improve in which ways?
Gunplay and moment to moment is excellent.
Variety in playlists...not so much.
Progression is trash.
They have some strides to make but there are damn good bones to work with here.
My first Halo and I'm really enjoying it. Can be frustrated when your team doesnt play the objective though.
Also hate the battle pass xp system but that's already been said a thousand times over.
The core gameplay is a lot of fun. I'm not a big fan of the bigger maps. One I played felt really empty.

You mean the leveling up/ progression? Cause as a multiplayer game its fucking fantastic. Add a battle royale mode I wont ever play and you can cover everything an audience might need.
Bulldog is fine as long as you dont try and treat it like the old shotgun. Start shooting from distance, the pellet grouping is quite small.
Where does it say?
Where does it say?
the tenth was another fucking slayer, fuck this shit lmao
I feel like none of the weapons are worth picking up in ranked other than the rocket launcher and the sniper rifle. The Bulldog (shotgun?) and the Mauler are okay in certain scenarios but other than that I haven't felt like I'm doing much with any of the other weapons.
I don't know, and I like the core gameplay... but people calling this some return to form are being hyperbolic when Halo 5 was essentially the same game with maybe 5x as many features.
Literally 2 of the three BTB maps look identical, and I'm sorry but unless you're hardcore into competitive Halo the small maps don't really offer much.
Not to mention a progression system that you literally have to treat like a full time job, yet people keep suggesting small tweaks to fix it. Which short of some massive change, the progression/customization is largely just going to be awful forever. It just feels like something that would be in a mobile game.
I mainly just cannot fathom how it took 343/Microsoft this long to release a game that is so stripped down to the bare minimum of features.
Still somewhat looking forward to campaign though, even though it basically just looks like a bunch of bases that need to be captured and no massive grand battles.
To all the people defending the 50xp per game; the old xp before today was better until you hit 22+ played games in a day. 343 doesnt want players to progress too fast in the battle pass bc the game is extemely bare bones right now esp with a season lasting til May.
I feel like I've been leveling up much quicker after the weeklies change. 50XP per game still feels kinda low, and there's a few tiers where it feels like I'm not entirely being rewarded with something all that compelling, but I'm finding the progression tolerable now, I hop the changes continue to roll in and make it a more positive experience.
But otherwise I've been ADDICTED to the game lmao I'm at like 25 hours or something already

I feel like I've heard them before. I just started playing with a headset and just noticed the beep noise when the other team is scoring in objective games.
Well. I think for many it feels a lot different from Halo 5 in a good. Far from essentially the same game.
And this is a beta still. I assume they are going to add to it and update it consistantly. I would hope starting on the official release date (though I wouldnt bet on it).
I think they want to start small and expand and adapt rather than throwing a tonne of shit at the wall, if half of it wont stick.
? Some of you guys are taking this way too far. It is just cosmetic, halo's leveling was never about becoming more powerful.

if you want to see progress just play rank
The game runs at 25 fps on my RTX 3080 with settings set on ultra... does anyone know what's wrong? Is it a bug?
I had a feeling the change made it worse but wow this is really blatant. I'm lucky if I have time for 10 games a night, without some much bigger changes it'll take like a year for me to finish a season lol

I paid ten dollars for this battlepass, is it so unreasonable to want to be able to complete it without making it my full-time job?
It's not tho imo. It's just moving points around. You'll be back to grinding tomorrow if you get all your weeklies done quickly.
There's no difference in daily progression here and that is the main problem. It needs to move faster because when you're done with weeklies you're on a serious grind the rest of the week.
I'm having a blast. It's tons of fun.
Your battle pass doesn't expire. So you can't take all of the time you want
Right, it's just my personal opinion. But I think as the thread title suggests "Comeback Evolved" I'm not really understanding that vs. the reality of what is contained in this game. Other than some mobility tweaks, this game is stylistically and design wise very similar to Halo 5 minus a ton of features. I almost feel like I'm on crazy pills and in a Madden thread or something, like I just can't believe that this game has been in development for that long. That or people are so conditioned to marketing bullshit in games that they just don't care about actual quality anymore.
Again, I put hours into Halo 5 and actually think the multiplayer in that game is fairly decent, likewise I'm enjoying what currently exists of Infinite and the ability to play with a friend who is on PC... but this game is not a drastic departure from Halo 5 in any way at least as far as the multiplayer is concerned, so unless you're a Halo diehard I have a hard time believing that this will capture anyone's attention for much longer than a couple of months.
Maybe I should just stop talking about video games forever, but the people who feel the need to keep reminding people that this is a beta is precisely what I mean by how susceptible video game audiences are to marketing bullshit. We're definitely at the point where beta doesn't actually mean anything anymore.
Yes, the best multiplayer fps on the market is going to be dead in 5 months... Come on with these awful takes. Are you new to multiplayer games? In 5 months this game will look nothing like what it does now.
We want to unlock cosmetics at a reasonable, rewarding pace like in other games that do a battle pass. It's not unreasonable to want improvements when we otherwise greatly enjoy the game.
I'm beginning to think that's exactly it. They're stalling us out because the content they do have they are saving for fractures. So, I guess if they do a bunch of fractures then we could see a good amount of content over the next few months.

They have said this is more of a band-aid tho so I'm not going to get too mad about it yet.
Thanks for doing the math on the challenges by the way. I could tell it was slower but this puts it into context.
lol I thought they were just adding a second daily not taking the old one away, do they think we are stupid?
That shouldn't be an excuse to artificially inflate the grind to make it take as long as possible lmao
Would you say the same if you got 10 XP per match? What about 30? Where is the exact point where "it doesn't expire" stops being able to justify a shitty progression system?
