my Team Arena stats so far

It's a good game. The rank system is amazing. The matchmaking is great (till you search alone and match a full party out the blue). The gameplay is way better than Halo 4 and it got potential to be a great game. However...

at times it can feel like a good shooter instead of a good halo game. Not good.

The pistol needs more ammo and a longer range. I'm glad they went back to halo 1 style with the Ar/Pistol starts, but the Pistol is a bit too weak. It has the lowest amount of auto aim so it takes more skill to use than the BR/DMR but those two guns have longer ranges and are much easier to use....it's unfair at times when running around with the pistol. I hate easy to use guns in halo.

The AR is way too strong. Team Arena, especially when playing that garbage map The Rig should be renamed to Team AR's. The same goes for Plaza. These two maps promote way too much AR usage and for the most competitive playlist (team arena) having players run around and put in work with an AR is pathetic.

The only maps I really fukk with so far are Truth (midship reimagining) and Coliseum. These two are Arena style maps that don't promote too much fukkery. The rest are mediocre to terrible in my opinion and promote too much AR gun play or running away. I also hate how all the human maps look damn near the same. The way they are designed remind me of shyt I would see in a COD game with the size, the rooms, random objects to jump over....just too much shyt going on with them to be in the arena playlist. We need more arena style maps soon.

Sprint is still terrible. I'll never like it in a halo game. Ever.

The aiming needs to be patched. There's too much aim acceleration and it makes it feel like that sluggish halo 3 aiming instead of smooth like halo 1/2/4.

Radar needs to be removed from Team Arena. I don't give a flying 747 fukk about how much they nerfed it. It still gives away a players position in the most competitive playlist. Let these nikkas use awareness instead of sitting behind a wall with their AR out waiting for dots to pop up. I use it myself at times and it's still cheap, regardless of the short range. I don't play halo with radar, it's my cup of tea.

Breakout is a horrible gametype and needs to be removed from Team Arena ASAP. shyt is pure trash.

Well gotdamn breh tell us how you really feel.

yup...bout to play some halo 1 on mcc

 

[duckbutta]

Yall notice this radar has kinda been nerfed? People in your vicinity dont pop up unless they are shooting or something. Its foecing me to be more observant and selective when I decide to run

Yeah I noticed this today and I hope they do fix it.

On the other hand I have had plenty of "how did he not see me on the radar" kills myself so

Perfectly explains how I have been able to just bum rush pack a dude at an angle and melee him twice before he even know what happens

The AR is just fine...

The problem is that halo has conditioned people to spawn and go get any weapon because any weapon is "better than the AR"...

When if you take into account burst rate, clip size, and melee...it should have ALWAYS been no worst than the 3rd best medium to close range weapon in the game...

I low key don't understand the req system. Can u only use the cards in Warzone?

Break out is the shyt fukk what others talking bout

I like it too lol

 

[BelowTheMasonDixon]

I feel @AkaDemiK gripe about the stages. Halo stages usually feel Alien and awe inspiring. these feel more mechanical.

Easily the best new addition to the game. Shyt is like Gears execution I like it.

I agree with the map gripe though. Maps have sucked in Halo since 3. For a starting weapon pistol is just fine IMO. You were completely helpless in the all the Halo games except CE with the starters if the other dude had a BR and was a good player. In this game you can easily stand toe to toe with the BR and DMR with it.

I prefer Halo without sprint, but I've gotten used to it by now, seeing as it's in every other FPS

U brought up another thing I noticed. When I run up on dudes from the back, no homo, it makes me melee instead of going into an assassination animation if im sprinting. I gotta remember to slow down before I hit them

add me breh's Swagless Moves I need a squad

Unequaledneil. I'm on now until the heat tip off

It's more forerunner now as opposed to covenant. That might be part of why. The cinematics of the original 3 feels way different too, not in a bad way. They just look and feel very different in many ways. Not sure how to describe it.
