Though now the beta is over we dont have anymore access to the game but lets still talk about it! What was the ups and downs in the beta and what could be fixed to make a better multiplayer gameplay. Write down your feedback and listen to others as well, thanks!
In all honesty, I was pleased with the Beta. I spent the majority of my time in the Arena, and it was a great experience, a must-play for anybody that enjoys a good game of Team Slayer. I was kind of disappointed that I never got an Elite Slayer match in the Arena, and also, I didn't play for one day and I was pushed down to a lower Division, whether this was by some odd exclusionary design meant to prevent players from getting into Onyx at the start of a season and to not being penalized if they happen to have a bad game later they stop playing until the end of the season, or simply because so many people increased their skill and it pushed me out, it was kind of strange.
I absolutely love the new look and feel of the Sniper Rifle, Shotgun, Magnum, and basically everything except the AR. It's still that annoying spray-and-pray weapon I know and loathe. The DMR and Needle Rifle make up for it to me though.
I feel that Active Camo is a bit underpowered, in consideration to the other Spartan Armor Abilities. JetPack and Sprint both enhance your movement in a way, but if you want to successfully use Camo, you have to move a slow crawl to stay invisible, I'm not saying you should be completely invisible no matter your movement speed, but it could use a little tweaking. I also really disliked the loss of sound while in Camo, probably because I own a pair of Turtle Beach EarForce X1s, a real awesome surround-sound headset.
The complete and total variety of bugs was astonishing though. I didn't have the ability to experience some, like the bug where you would spawn as a mixture of red and blue, with unattainable armor permutations in a clay-texture. Numerous times I was attributed kills, after I died, when I had meleed an enemy.
I agree with reaper, though I only got to play 1 round of slayer I still had a great experience with it. Though the greatest improvement with the new Halo was that the magnum's power greatly increased to almost the point whereas in Halo 1 is what a mass killing machine. Though I did wish that the elites armor ability's were going to be a bit better, but the odd thing is that they only have 3 and the Spartans have 4. Well thanks for commenting! I'll be waiting for another post!
