I have freesync but it doesn't help that much. In Deadlock it plays nicely but in High Power not so much.

I think it feels good on either. Just play with whatever you prefer or setting allows.

Um nope, you need to play at least 7 games a day before earning more XP w/ this system. The daily challenges awarded 100 XP before, not 50.
Though with easier challenges I think I do like this system more.

I have mostly played on PC for the past 8 years. But used to be a sweaty controller player competing in cod/halo. With literally years of not using controller much, I'm much better with controller. And I'm not bad with mkb (top rank in csgo etc). I think at lower ranks it doesnt matter. But from diamond upwards you're going to get seriously punished if you aren't an absolute GOD with mouse. Being consistent with a BR and finishing off oneshots is a fucking bitch compared to controller. So much easier to be consistent which is what halo is all about. I would never use mouse unless I'm on the exclusive mkb ranked playlist. It's fun when you know you are on an even playing field but when I'm getting consistently 4 shot by a controller on mouse, it's too annoying to stick with. I will say it's probably the best game to have tried to balance mouse and controller, so props to 343 for that.
Overall, I'm fucking loving halo infinite. It's the first halo...ever? That's had legit good ranked rules on launch. Even casual isn't quite as shit as casual in old halos used to be in terms of balance. Just having a blast with it right now.

ranked has LITERALLY only BR starts. Play that mode if you complain about AR/Magnum.
Ranked too sweaty for you? So why complain about weapon balance to start? Just play casually and enjoy it as it is.
some people will clearly NEVER be happy and capable of enjoy about anything

That's the placement ranks though, not how you gain rank progress after you've already gotten your rank.

The second easiest weapon in the default sandbox being close to the best choice in most scenarios is a bad thing for the game point blank. Halo is all about skillgap, and the AR rn is only slightly more skill intensive than a needler.
It needs a damage reduction and to have more of a delay when swapping to it. The fire right into a melee right into firing for a quick kill is not good for the game, it takes 1/10th of the skill of a melee followed by a headshot from a magnum/ BR.
Better playlists existing is no excuse not to massively improve other playlists.
The magnum having a couple more bullets means you can actually kill 2 people with it reliably with good skill, and would be very nice.

They got ranked ranked big team? "Who cares about balance just play" is one of the sillier things i've seen posted in a while, not gonna lie.

Turn acceleration down to 1 , look dead zone to 1 and sensitivity to whatever your comfortable with, helped me a lot

I didn’t even notice this, in all honest. I thought something was off with how little sense it was making that I was missing so many easy melee kills.
Well you have dipshits like a number of folks in this thread who defend every little thing they do. Of course they won’t improve when these folks’ lips are firmly wrapped around the dev’s shafts.

The Needler and AR exist so new players and low skilled players stand a chance. My Bro is a returning player and is struggling to adjust and they are his go to weapons for a reason.
They are fine as is IMO.
more play list and maps will come, jesus this is what day 4? Kick back and enjoy,
Random thoughts:
My only complaint weapon wise is i don't get the commando nerf, shit is trash now, loved it in the flights.
Collision need to be turn on.
The sandbox is the best its ever been. You know 343 done good when the communities main gripe is the battle pass.
What a Fantastic start, this does so much right. I have loads of thoughts to post when i can be arsed, but right now I'm busy teaching my brother who was and always will be the best at Halo

I need a ranked SWAT playlist so bad. I love Halo but ranked standard is just so sweaty with shields. Can't wait for SWAT.
He's absolutely right actually, takes me 4 bursts to down anyone with the BR.
Man. If that’s actually true its fucking stupid and I hope they change it soon.

It's true, I hit Diamond by virtue of being top of the Kills scoreboard each placement match, I am not a Diamond player at all
in fact I think out of the 10 matches, I had 1 Slayer match

I’m loving it somehow they finally recaptured the Halo 1-3 feel whereas 4-5 felt really clunky and grew tiresome. Are there more Ex Bungie re-hires working on Infinite?

Why is there no credits in the battlepass? In other F2P games like Warzone or Fortnite the battlepass is full of the currency you use to pay for it. Like in fortnite you pay 950 vbucks and get 1500 back and I think in Warzone you get 1300 back with this you pay 1000 credits and get 0 back?
The whole point of the battlepass is your paying for cosmetics, but you have to put in time to earn them so they give you the currency back if you complete it...

Because unlike those these battle passes don't expire. Earning your credits back in the pass means you MUST finish it in time, and if not then you have to pay up to make the difference for the next one. Halo took that out of the equation, so it wouldn't make sense to give you everything back.

They could still give at least some back as this feels too stingy.

That's the worst trade off ever...this feels so bad compared to the other games. The other battlepasses last 3-4 months so as much as people try to say you have to "rush" to finish them the reality is you have plenty of time and even if you don't feel like you'll finish in time you can gain levels without buying it and then only buy it when its part way through the season and you'll know you'll finish in time. Not to mention you don't even have to finish them in other games, like I said in fortnite you pay 950 and get 1500 back so you only gotta get like 70% done to get that 950 back.

$10 for a never expiring battle pass is stingy?? You can earn that in rewards points in a month or less by just searching on Bing

As a working man with 3 kids, no, 3-4 months is not a reasonable amount of time to get to level 100 in a battle pass in any game I’ve ever played.

I remember one Fortnite season I bought the battlepass and my friends decided to take a break from the game so I literally got on one hour a week to do challenges and got it 80% done which gave me back more vbucks than I paid for it. Do you game less than one hour a week? If you do I wish you goodluck because this Halo Infinite battlepass is gonna take you 2+ years to finish with how grindy it is.

Do I have more than 1 hour a week to dedicate to grinding challenges in Fortnite? No. No I don’t.

Weapon balance has just a few issues.
-The ARs range needs nerfed. It should not be shredding shields from range. I understand why they buffed the hell out of the AR, to give all the new to the franchise Halo noobs a chance, so im ok with the damage it does, but the AR range is absurd. Im not gonna be too mad because a skilled Halo player will beat an AR scrub every time but still.
-The only real nerf they did since the test flights was to the Commando which makes no sense. The gun is basically useless now. Its probably the toughest gun in the game to use because of the upwards recoil - and now it takes even longer to kill. Revert.
-All the weird weapons like Mauler, Disrupter, Plasma nade launcher, Red alien BR are all quite good - but have a pretty high skill requirement, its why no one uses them - im ok with that. The plasma guns do what theyre intended: shred shields fast. Only the Plasma carbine 3 shot burst thing is completely unreliable. Bullets need faster trajectory.
-The BR is 100% perfect. They better not fuck with it like they did in Halo 5 post launch. H5 eventually made the BR shoot slow as hell - and if you play H5 today, the BR isnt even used, in a Halo game. Blasphemy.
-The pistol has the correct ammo count and damage. If you're running out of ammo with the pistol, aim better. Good, careful aim under duress should be rewarded, not button spamming. Buffing the pistol damage will make the game Halo 1 or Halo 5 all over again (ie: one gun pistol only games). They will likely make a Halo 1 pistol playlist in the future for fun.

That's not what I asked. Like I said before people want to act like they are "rushed" to finish these battlepasses but they aren't. For people that actually plan to play the game this is a huge downgrade from how other F2P games handles it.

They are fixing it pal! Give it a rest for 5 mins will you?
they didn't take any feedback so far... why would I expect them to fix anything?
also, NO they do not fix it. all they did now is give you 50xp after every match. they will never ever get rid of the fucked up challenges I describe because why would they? They ignore almost all feedback. their own subreddit literally has to scream at them 24/7 about obvious issues until they give in just enough to calm down half of the complaints.
the controller aiming is just as shit as it was during the flights... here are Reddit posts, some with thousands of upvotes, one of them has more than 1K upvotes for simply showing a screenshot of other threads about that issue with even more upvotes on them
here is my post from 2 months ago:
the fact that people still have even the slightest bit of tolerance for the shit 343 Industry does is fucking mindblowing to me. That's like believing a convicted serial killer will never kill again because he said he wont

Not everyone thinks these things are problems. Thousands of upvotes from anonymous (and including duplicates) accounts, when there will likely have been millions of people already have played the game, is nothing.
I've had no problems whatsoever with the controller aiming. No one that I have played with has had any problems with it.
When you say "their own subreddit" do you mean that it was actually created by and is moderated by 343i?

If we’re doing votes here’s a YouTube poll where 11k people have pretty much unanimously voted for Halo Infinite as the best FPS to release this year. Clearly 343 doing something right (making a good game instead of catering to people who just want to feel special and fulfilled by unlocking a new dance every time they fart).
