I tried Mouse and Keyboard, guess what..it's bugged. You can't look around fully it's almost like there is some weird barrier. Not sure if you've tried it out but it's impossible to play MKB because of the bug.

yeah i heard that issue exists on console, but should be gone in the final version

 

[CookieWithMatt]

I didn't realise that the beta only runs during specific hours of the day! I had assumed that the launcher was buggy, and did a total reinstall. Whoops.

Annoying to convert the hours to Sydney time. Hopefully can get on today.

 

[HTK]

Also when playing in 120fps the graphics are not so good and have some pop in with ground textures. PS4 Pro version of Warzone looks better sadly but I love Halos color scheme much easier to pick out players. I'm so torn with my new purchase and Halo.

 

[Wildstar75]

This game has zero innovation. Ironically the combat has not evolved. It’s fine for what it is. A smooth reskin of a classic. But I won’t be playing much.

i think overall it feels great. im glad they removed the thrusters, ground pound, charge, ect. it really removed a lot of skill gap that halo is known for.

my gripes so far are:

- well, the maps are terrible aside from Behemoth. 343 is simply bad at making maps and the best ones in their games are always fan made forge games. they would be better off just letting fans make forge maps and then 343 can remaster them with all the real assests

- cant stand the pistol. it shoots way to fast and its too weak. it causes everyone to frantically pull the trigger and its very distracting. a slower more powerful pistol would be way better

- BR is kinda rare it seems. which is a shame because this is the best BR since halo 2. it should be a starting weapon as far as im concerned

thats kind of it really. im hoping theres a classic ranking system or that might need to be another gripe. i really like how it plays but map quality can really make or break halo for me and so far its not looking to good

Wild. I absolutely love the maps

 

[Twin Drive System]

Was playing a game of CTF that was going in our favor when I suddenly crashed to desktop. My team ended up losing since they were down a member and I couldn't find a way to join back.

I wish the game had some sort of rejoin feature in such cases.

I've heard stories of people getting temporary bans or cooldowns when their client crashes. Seems excessive if it isn't intentional and no option to rejoin is given.

 

[Artistic]

Played one BTB match. Think that was enough for me.

Graphics seemed to have improved over last week. Or at least Fragmentation is a looker, had some great lighting and sharpness.

 

[salva]

Really enjoying this... Getting those halo 3 mp feels. Can't wait for the release

 

[Artistic]

Would be nice to get added bonuses for playing the beta.

Would have been even better if the current progression transferred over to the full release.

 

[CookieWithMatt]

Have sunk some time into BTB. Really, really liking this. As others have said, getting some serious Halo 3 vibes from the game at the moment. Still missing the thrusters from Halo 5, they keep stuffing me around with muscle memory at the moment.

 

[Artistic]

Only nitpick is that the precision weapons are a bit harder to master compared to Halo 5. Getting less perfect kills for sure.

 

[SatansReverence]

First experience with Halo infinite, controller aim is difficult people are right

It's not difficult, it's just objectively shit.

Stop using the right stick, let the game do the majority of the aiming for you.

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Was pretty bad in halo 5 too

 

[SenjutsuSage]

I've seen enough. Best looking shooter I've ever seen. The art style, the lighting, the shading and texture work, all the small details, everything just comes together in such an unbelievably beautiful way. I look forward to the campaign.

And these areas below I've seen in-game, these screenshots do not do them proper justice. It needs to be seen on a beautiful 4K television like my CX. Jesus.

 

[SatansReverence]

Halol 5s aiming was indeed complete garbage

 

[Artistic]

I was bad at first playing the H5 beta, but eventually got the hang of it within a few matches.

Feel like I have to pace my shots so I don't run out of ammo with misses.

Many are saying the graphics are improved over the previous week. It keeps improving, which is crazy.

 

[Stephen Curry]

BTB today was probably the most fun I've had in a Halo game since Halo Reach

 

[Billbofet]

Played a couple hours of this and I had a smile on my face the entire time. I have not played much Halo MP since 3, but this is like all the best of Halo and Titanfall in one.
I love the mobility and speed. It's so buttery smooth and gorgeous and FUUUUUN.

Cannot wait for this!!

My only gripe would be the HDR seems to suck. It's way too bloomy. Could be my projector or maybe they haven't really activated the settings. I messed with HDR and brightness under advanced settings and it didn't do shit.
Part of me thinks it's just a placeholder for now as on Master Chief Collection you can really dial it into perfection.

 

[svbarnard]

Finally fired this up on my Series x…

I’m so underwhelmed graphically. And I wasnt expecting much in the first place.

It looks like an hd remake of a 10 year old game.

That's because this game wasn't built for the Xbox series x, it's built for the Xbox One first and foremost, I hope they make a sequel to Halo infinite so we can see what a true next-gen Halo looks like.

Texture detail is crazy good, and Halo's campaigns have always looked a lot better than the MP.

What the person you replied to said is rubbish. The game looks very good currently and it's an unfinished product.

man says it ‘looks like a hd remake of an Xbox 360 game’ and you’re seriously responding to him?

 

[too much eslim]

Is big team in training?

 

[Chris_Rivera]

120hz mode is where it’s at. Series X on the CX with some VRR sauce

 

[Team Andromeda]

This demo looks, sound and plays incredible. If the singleplayer mode is up to the same standards this is a AAA winner

 

[jezhumphrey75]

ended 48 minutes ago. you can play bot trianing mode until 2 hours 12 minutes from now

i thought it was free for everybody this week 1st to the 3rd? damnit

 

[Leyasu]

You don't like time travelling where you're 1 second in the past? =P

I love watching people stand upon a genade as it explodes after already taking damage and remain standing.

inb4 game launches with no connection preferences again and it takes 343 more than 12 months to finally add them.

I wouldn't put anything past these clowns. If they do that they will kill the community like they did with Halo 5

 

[SatansReverence]

It's pretty funny thinking back to all the reeeeeeeeee'ing from certain members about the lack of textures on the basalt columns only to finally see them in game and turns out they have very rich texture detail up close.

Bit of a shame you can't explore fracture while matchmaking is down

I wouldn't put anything past these clowns. If they do that they will kill the community like they did with Halo 5

I'm sure we will get some fantastic lip service on how amazingly good their matchmaking parameters are while getting stuck in 200+ ping servers.

 

[jigglet]

After two beta weekends now the only thing really annoying me at this point is how stingy they are with the BR. It's one of the game's staples...why are they treating it as a really high powered, rare pickup?

 

[Cacadookie]

I still think the visuals among other things could be much improved. Looks odd in some places like ground textures and tire tracks. Lighting can be very soft. Animations for deaths are still pretty bad and repetitive.

 

[Zuzu]

I played it for the first time today. The general movement is fantastic and the grappling hook is a really good addition to the gameplay. It allows for such fast manoeuvrability around the map without feeling overpowered or out of place in the halo universe. The programmers for the bots have done an outstanding job because these bots often feel like you're playing against real people at times. The sound is very good and the weapons feel nice to use. I like the time to kill as well - neither too fast or too slow. The TTK allows for players who are being attacked to use good defensive strategies without the gameplay slowing down too much. I didn't think the graphics were that outstanding when comparing it to other multiplayer shooters out at the moment. They're good and definitely pleasing to the eye, but I don't think they're better than games such as Black Ops Cold War or Modern Warfare (I played on Quality mode on Series X on a 4k 27 inch IPS monitor). Also, the game feels great with the Elite Controller 2.

 

[Mr.ODST]

Crazy clips are coming out again

 

[BigLee74]

Tire tracks in the sand must be placeholder stuff at the moment because it looks dreadful.

I hate almost everything about the pistol. The sound grates. The fire rate is way too fast, and folk are gonna have controllers that abuse that. Bring back the Halo 5 one!

Grenades seem very weak. I came barely get a kill with them.

Apart from the above, it’s looking very good!

 

[Mr.ODST]

Another

 

[martino]

I gave it a try and was surprised by performance on my pc (especially after DF video)
i can play half resresh (72fps) most of the time in mostly ultra settings at 80% of 4k with my 1080ti.

 

[Leyasu]

I'm sure we will get some fantastic lip service on how amazingly good their matchmaking parameters are while getting stuck in 200+ ping servers.

Yeah, you just know that it is coming.

They will talk about long waiting times if it’s region filtered. They will sit back and watch the community outside of North America dry up, they will then implement it, then turn around and say “we told you so” when the remaining hardcore complain about long waits for games. Just like Halo 5.

These fucking guys.

Fuck SBMM.

 

[Dane]

This game models are incredibly detailed, the only issue is that the warthog doesn't have modelled rims, but the interior and small objects are modelled and high poly for it.

 

[BeforeU]

I love the sound design, can't wait to get back when MM opens

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Had some quality bot time. Still figuring out control settings. Another hour an a half before MM goes online

 

[twilo99]

WTF is "mouse magnetism" ?? Aim assist for mouse&key?

 

[twilo99]

120hz mode is where it’s at. Series X on the CX with some VRR sauce

Does your TV have an FPS counter? Curious if the X is hitting 120fps. Either way, that must look amazing on that OLED

I hope I can get my 6800xt to hit 165fps at 1440p .. we shall see in a few hours

 

[Negotiator101]

Apparently 360 games looked like that

 

[jezhumphrey75]

its not the stunner it should be, but i think it looks great in it own way, its clear, sharp, has an awesome colour scheme/art direction, runs great and has really nicely detailed textures which have been added after that awful reveal, im more than happy with the way it looks.

 

[OverHeat]

Look a lot better then most FTP games.

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Explosion effects are shocking tho, grenade explosions look poor, the way vehicles explode is embarrassing

 

[MadPanda]

Annoying to convert the hours to Sydney time. Hopefully can get on today.

So we can play only during certain hours? This is so strange but it explains why I can't find any games I thought it was something wrong on my side. Which hours is beta running?

 

[SatansReverence]

Right now for about 2 and a half more hours
