1. Give DMR more power.
2. Give AR less power.
3. Give Focus Rifle more power.
4. Give grenades less power.
5. Change the 1 flag CTF respawn place on Swordbase: it's too easy to get to once the game starts!

For everyone that wants the Halo 3 Button Layout: Use the Button Scheme Named Recon.

My 5 Flaws are:

1. Faster match searches; takes ten minutes just to find match...then has to look for players!
2. DMR, extremely weak;AR, very weak;Frag, too powerful;Melee, too powerful, make it to where bullets are more powerful than punches;Other weapons are just right
3. Faster Spartan running
4. Would like to look at all service records for career, some people would want to keep track of that
5. Make invisibility ACTUALLY invisible. Everybody always able to see you. Don't make it to where you have to stand still to use. At least make it able to walk while invisible and still be invisible.

1) Grenades are way too strong. Either keep it they way it is or don't start with them.
2) Social connection. People abuse this to get "easy" games and talk trash to people that really don't care about competition. Its a game, and people trash talking it up in a "polite and mature" setting gets annoying.
3) Covy grenade launcher. Its overpowered. Should use up more energy or have a max compacity of X rounds.
4) Sprinters and melee weapons. Its part of the game, but why is the gravity hammer in Reach? Also, that double beat down gets old when the AR won't stop them.
5) The assassinations. I stabbed someone in the back, however after stabbing them I got killed by a shotgun. The guy I stabbed got back up and started walking.

Thats what I can think of. The Beta is nice and fun. Looking forward to the new playlists.
P.S Bungie.
Great job! Like the new stuff. Would like to see some new armor abilities such as a medic class or something. <3

I've seen a lot of flaws, but none too major. Okay, first I want to say is that the beta looks incredible... I love the fact that you buy your armor permutations now (I just wish they helped in game maybe a little =/).

1 - The grenades > Some people think that they are not too powerful. For proof, you can tell you die a lot more by grenades than in Halo 3. People use them a lot more because they kill you if your shields aren't at near 100%.

2 - The Needle Rife > I think it is underpowered against the shields. It is the equivalent of the DMR, right? And the DMR takes 4-6 shots to kill (I think). See my point?

3 - The HUD > Very much like on Snowbound from Halo 3, you can barely see it up against a white, or bright surface. And I think it's even lighter than Halo 3's. And also, some of the text is too small. If you can make it a little bigger, that'd help a lot! :D

4 - Buggy > Sometimes when playing, it bugs out a little. For example, when you kill someone, it says it twice often for me. Nothing too serious, but just a little bug.

5 - Stalker > The Stalker class is one of my favorites. The only thing is, like others said, doesn't get that much of a bonus. Sure, you get active camouflage, but it's not hard to spot while running. I think you should be able to be 100% camouflaged at all times when activated. Also, you shouldn't be effected by your own special ability's advantage over the opponent... What I mean is you shouldn't get effected by your own radar jammer.

Other than this, I don't see that many more flaws. I can't wait for it to come out. And when the beta shuts down and the game actually comes out, do we keep our boughten armor permutations?

1. Hit Detection Failures*

2. Bullets Don't Do Enough Damage or Not Large Enough Clips*

3. Grenades Are -blam!- HUUUGE!

4. Sword and Hammer Rollin' (GoW Style)

5. You Have To Be Directly On Top of A Flag or Skull (Headhunter) To Return It or Pick It Up.

*Bungie is aware as far as I know.

Enjoy the Rest of the Beta

P.S. 6. NOT ENOUGH COVY SLAYER! SOOO FUN!

In order from most to least annoying-

1.Reticule Bloom-I have taken out shields with my DMR and find myself aiming at the head but hitting their chest.

2.Grenades- A bit to powerful.

3.Clip Sizes- I find myself running out of ammo with my DMR while getting beat down by a guy with no shields.

4.Focus Rifle-A bit to powerful, needs lower damage or higher ammo consumption.

5.Movement-Strafing is something that I am missing when facing another guy with a DMR.

I had a hard time getting through the first 3 pages of this thread without my brain hurting. I'm hopeful that Bungie doesn't pay attention to people who can't even make coherent sentences.

Some people just want the last Halo game all over again. The run speed and jump height are different, but just because it feels different doesn't mean it's wrong.

Some want the camo to be more powerful. Those people want cheap kills.

Some want the grenades to be less powerful. Those people probably either aren't good at throwing them, or want to camp in a small corridor with a shotgun and not lose their shields to a grenade. And who cares how big the frag grenades are? I would rather be able to notice a frag grenade coming at me than not.

Some want the armour abilities to be customizable. In other words, they want to unbalance the game.

Some want jetpack flight time to be longer. To me, those people should buy a flight-simulation game. This is halo. Armour abilities should not be over-powered. You shouldn't be able to fly around too much - just enough to reach a new height in my opinion.

Reticule bloom is good, because accuracy and patience constitute a GOOD player.

The graphics are fine. The 'feel' of the game is greatly improved from Halo 3 in my opinion. The pistol and DMR are extremely fun in my opinion. If everything about the pistol remains as-is when the game comes out, I'll be happy. Reload time/animation, zoom, everything.

I agree that things are hard to read in the menus.

I agree that the HUD is hard to see. ie. reticule, ammo, etc.

K Bungie Has to fix the fact that the Magnum is TOO powerful, its more powerful then the AR. The needler rifle needs to be stronger, i put like 7 shots in the guy and he still doesnt blow. The guy requires too many needles to pop from the needler/needler rifle.

1. Grenade explosions are too powerful. Reduce effective radius.

2. Needler's homing shots are too accurate.

3. Covy Slayer is too rare.

4. Spartan jump height is fine (short but realistic), but it would make more sense if they could climb chest high walls a la CoD and GoW.

5. No reward for assassination animation. Make a medal for it.

And a final side note, what happened to Sword Sprees? Could have been a glitch, but I didn't earn one after 7 consecutive sword kills.
