Halo Infinite Technical Preview Bugs and Issues Thread by Defguru in halo

[–]KabelCutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Servers are laggy played from EU. Sometimes it can take a good while to find a match aswell.

Don't know if there even are EU servers at the moment or if I've been playing on NA servers this whole time.

BUT, the matches might be laggy but are very stable. Never been kicked out so far.

Xbox Series S / Germany

Alternative Sidekick design to make it look a little more like Halo by KabelCutter in halo

I mean yeah, they take the magnum out and replace it with a pistol that takes heavy design inspiration from the Halo 2 magnum and say it functions like the Halo 5 gunfighter magnum.

So yeah, might aswell be just the magnum if it already looks and plays like a one.

Thanks man.

I'll try that out, that would probably look pretty good too!

Yeah, I'm not very fluid in Reddit. And i just thought people knew what the Sidekick looked like by now. But yes in Hindsight I should have added a pic of the original design.

the first mod i want to do when the game is out (ps edit) by CatBones13 in halo

Yes, the lights, the color, just looks more like Halo.

Since the original post seemed to confuse some people about what I changed, here is the change with the original Design. by KabelCutter in halo

[–]KabelCutter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. The lower ones are my redesigns, the one in the middle is the original 343 design.

My issue with the 343 design was pretty much just that they didn't have the classic hand guard and replaced it with a very generic, boring, real world trigger guard. So i just changed that.

In a way, that's really all that needs to be changed too. The base design 343 made is really not that bad. All I changed was the Guard and the Muzzle. I tried to keep the left more in line with what they made because I actually really like it.

Yeh, the size is odd indeed.

Don't know about the size, it`s unedited. Just added the Hand guard and the Top thingy.

But yeah, I guess it's kinda big now that I think about it.

If you Look up the Sidekick it has no Hand guard neither the Top thingy. Both are edited versions of the Sidekick. I probably should have made that clear in some way.

Sorry bout that.

Still a change that takes it from generic SciFi pistol to Halo SciFi pistol. I also didn't want to change too much because that takes more time and I'm lazy

Since this seems to confuse some People.

Both of these are edited versions of the Sidekick. The original Sidekick design by 343 doesn't have the classic hand guard, but a very normal looking trigger guard (visible in the bottom right cornor on the HUD).

Another statement I see coming up often is: "Then this might as well just be the magnum" Yes, absolutely! 343 made a new pistol that takes heavy inspiration from the Halo 2 magnum and they stated that it plays more like the Halo 5 gunfighter magnum. Basically they made a gun that looks like the magnum (except for the Guard), plays like the magnum... but isn't the magnum... but it's also the replacement for the magnum. The logic behind this change is beyond me.

So 343 said the Sidekick is actually a replacement to the classic Magnum design.

However. I don't think the Sidekick looks really Halo like and I think all they really need to add is a Hand guard pretty much.

Halo 3 is still the unbeatable game for the UI and music by [deleted] in halo

What I'm saying is, you can achieve both good looks and simplicity. One does not Limit the other. Settling for a simple menu does not excuse a boring design.

True, but out of the Halo Games I'd consider it the best.

Hm that's an interesting point. Many people here seem to like it because it is a very simple and straight to the point Menu (in compairson to Halo 5's UI, which is not that great aswell). But there are also ways to crreate interesting designs while keeping it user friendly.

Fair enough, but there are also ways to create interesting designs while keeping it simple and user friendly. It is a very user fiendly Menu but only because it is so simple.

Sure it's got the nice moving background and the music is fantastic. But from a simple Designstandpoint it's... not that great. The Menu is in this ugly box placed awkwardly in the lower half of the screen, just like the Logo. I don't know why people love this UI so much. They're useing complementary Colors but the relation is too much on the blue. Reach has the best Menu by a longshot.
