Yes, it is fun. This will be a game I keep on my PC for a while (at least the MP component) just like Rocket League.

I think it is very fun so far. Movement and combat feel fantastic to me. It's a good blend of classic and modern Halo that makes it feel more like classic Halo than Halo 5, but still doesn't feel outdated or old fashioned.
Small sample size so far considering it's one map vs easy mode bots, but personally i'd say it's the best playing 343 game to date. Seems really promising.
Do we think that the flight might be CPU heavy because of extra telemetry?This build is currently CPU-bound, even at 4K. All eight CPU cores of my i7 9900K are being used. Enabling Hyper-Threading does not improve performance. It seems that the game is heavily relying on one CPU core which limits overall performance (it's not single-threaded as it can also use more than 6 CPU cores at times). Below is an example (GPU usage for the RTX3080 is only 77% at 4K/Ultra).
More screenshots (pay attention to CPU core 3, that's the one that is mainly used at all times) -> https://www.dsogaming.com/screensho...4k-ultra-settings-on-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080/
Halo Infinite esport - Will feature cross-platform and cross-input competition across Xbox & PC
f course. Alright, let’s breakdown the alternative scenarios that we felt were the most realistic to explore. Alternative scenario 1: All console Alternative scenario 2: All PC. We decided against alternative scenario 1 because we knew for the absolute pinnacle of Halo competition, with...

It plays well and is pretty fun. The main issue now is the bots are super easy and its just one map at the moment.
I really really loved Halo 5s multi, this feels even better and snappier.
The bots are getting stomped at the mo, really excited to see it being turned up and the new map but even more so the pvp on Sunday.
If this is the tech test then I can't wait to see what the next few months bring till release.

Yes!!!
Maybe the shotgun and pistol will grow on me but they seem like a step back.
The skewer is just an lol weapon. Completely useless in slayer. Mainly will only be used for BTB for vehicles.
Map design remains 343's weakness. This map isn't bad but it's just really bland.
Playing maxed out at 1440p and averaging 80 fps but something felt off. I thought it was the frame pacing until I realized disabling screen shake in settings does not affect the awful screen shake effect when sprinting. It makes the game feel like it's super choppy but when I'm not sprinting or I'm just fighting it's smooth as silk.
been enjoying it so far, will be interesting to see how things change when the bot difficulty goes up.
Also Lumu's voice line when getting a headshot with the Skewer weapon caught me off guard.

Feeling a little disappointed with the tech test but giving the benefit of the doubt with the build being a couple of months old.
Feels like a step back from 5 to me. Slower movement, less mobility, shakey motion. Weapon audio design is great though. Feels alot like 343 have listened predominantly to the vocal hardcore. I love me some old school Halo but I have old Halos already for that.

There's a possibility that Social PvP will be enabled Sunday night if they hit all of their goals with flighting.
This is the best feeling Halo I have played in a long, long time.
Feels like the best of Halo 5's modern approach and classic Halo
Maybe it's a good idea to wait until more modes are available.
at this rate, sprint has been in halo longer than it hasnt
It took me a little bit to get acclimated and dial in the settings to my liking but once I did I am having fun
The bots are a little too easy to get a real feel for it, but honestly I'm very impressed for the most part. It's not a huge departure from Halo 5 in terms of feel, which is a good thing, but the renewed focus on power weapons and equipment is most welcome. I also love the new weapons, balancing issues aside (I think the bullfrog feels too weak, for example).
all for having that opinion, though the slip gate thing is weird as that plays nothing like 5
Am I mixed-up on this? I had thought when you're testing for CPU performance, you would turn down resolution/detail settings, because it removes the likelihood for GPU to be the limiting factor.
This game is EXTREMELY fun and so far looks GORGEOUS on Xbox Series X (better than on PC, Xbox One, Series S). Plays beautifully and feels great. I'm so impressed!
There's something slightly off with the aiming. It's waaaaaay better than H5 aiming though
Apologies if this has been answered already, but can anyone on console confirm that the controller can be fully customizable with custom mapping?
On H5 and MCC, I have to resort to the Accessories app to map the controls the way I need them. That makes normal menu navigation a pain in the ass.

So is the vk78 commando some sort of weird replacement for the dmr because god I hope not. Love my dmr. I want to like the commando, but first impressions are meh.
Heatwave seems out of place in a 4v4 slayer match. I can see its uses in objective games for sure, but here it seems pretty worthless.
Also, anyone else getting hit with the needler but not realize you are taking hits until you are dead? I've died a few times to it and it just feels like the on screen information is lacking. I don't recognize the needles coming at me, and don't notice I'm accumulating needles until I'm already dead.

So, you want a marketing "beta" versus actually being able to help provide some data to 343i to help them make the game better?
I've played for about a couple hours now.
For me, this game feels like a mesh of Halo Reach and Halo 5, which is alright. Gunplay is thight, abilities are not overpowered and the movement speed is great (love what they did to sprint, although I feel this will change).
Bots are way too easy right now, so I'm looking forward to the ODST level being added.

Is it too late to get in
i tried signing up but they asked all these technical pc questions and i didnt have my pc at the time

Sooo... no de-scope in this game?? Or only certain weapons like the sniper? I have a hard time with this.. they made this mistake with Halo 4 and removed it in H5. Why would they add this back in after it was so broken and universally hated.
I just tested it and there is no descope on the pistol for example... This has the potentially to really drag the game down. On the pistol it's not so bad because the zoom is very low. It's definitely on some weapons like the sniper, but if it's not on the BR or other long range weapons that will feel really bad.

I have a Ryzen 7 3700 and 2070 Super, and I've been getting a consistent 73-78 fps within a match. Haven't experienced any drop-offs, and the only tweaks I made to the graphics were to remove the motion blur and increase the FOV. This is fine for a tech test
Overall this game is great, it's exactly what I wanted from a new Halo. The weapons look/sound great, combat is awesome, and the music is sick. The BR, the commando, the heatwave, melees, I love it all. This will likely be my GOTY
My biggest complaint is the controls: I know it's halo, but even with the deadzone's set to .5 and max sensitivity, the turn speed is very slow. Also, precision weapons feel awkward. It feels very difficult to move the sniper reticle over to someone's head if you're already close to the body, and the skewer feels cumbersome as well. When I play the MCC I can consistently go on headhunter sprees with the snipers, so something here is off with the controls. The automatic weapons don't have that issue for me

While I've enjoyed myself, I feel the same way. The vocal iron-guard of Halo have definitely been taken into account but at the same time I really am interested to see where this game can evolve. It seems the game principles of Halo 3 and the slick modern paint of Halo 5 are precent but I'd love more wild cards. I enjoy the sprint system, we don't have movement values but it feels like you can cut corners and dodge some risky situations. I enjoy that, and it doesn't seem cheesy either, I hope movement is something that is a big focus. Getting into a flow-state and just hammering, while being able to use movement to your advantage around the map is my biggest takeaway from this tech test and I want even more of it.
Commando, BR, and Sniper and maybe the Skewer all descope when you're hit. Other weapons like don't
That's a botAnyone know how this player has a mark vii helmet?
cause scoping does not work the same in this game. H4 and H5 was an issue cause those scope actively affected weapon spread and mag. They dont in infinite
He acted like a player and had a gamertag and everything, he stopped and crouched with me and did a shuffle dance (mimicking what I'm doing) and such.
Will be interesting to see if mouse and keyboard will be viable in the pro scene.
huh, from my understanding it shouldn't be obtainable. maybe it's a dev being cheeky?
