Tech Preview Build Overview
On this tech preview build, we have the opportunity to explore the menu and settings of the game. As we boot up the build, we are greeted with an array of options right in front of us. Let's take a closer look at what we can expect from this tech preview.
Menu Overview
The menu is the first thing we encounter as we enter the tech preview build. It serves as the gateway to all the gameplay options available to us. From here, we can find the Multiplayer Academy options, start the game, and access the main settings.
Multiplayer Academy Options
The Multiplayer Academy options provide us with the opportunity to get a deeper understanding of the various multiplayer mechanics present in the game. This is a fantastic way for newcomers and experienced players alike to familiarize themselves with the gameplay mechanics before diving into the action.
Main Settings
The main settings section is where we can tweak our gameplay experience to our liking. It’s essential to take the time to adjust the settings according to our preferences to ensure that the game feels tailored to our needs and desires.
Tweaking Settings for the Tech Preview
For those participating in the tech preview, it is crucial to acclimate ourselves and adjust the settings according to our liking. This will ensure that we have the most enjoyable experience possible during our time with the tech preview build.
Sensitivity Settings
Within the settings, we have options to fine-tune our sensitivity settings. This allows us to have complete control over the responsiveness and precision of our movements. For players who prefer default settings, they can confidently stick with the default values.
However, for those who feel comfortable, they can delve into more specific sensitivity adjustments to enhance their gameplay experience further. It's all about finding a balance that works best for us individually.
Keyboard and Mouse Support
Notably, the tech preview build supports keyboard and mouse inputs for PC players. This is a significant step forward in the evolution of the game, catering to the preferences of PC gamers. The addition of triple keybinds provides players with even more flexibility when customizing their control schemes.
Pros:
- Enhanced precision and control for PC players.
- More flexibility in control customization.
Cons:
- May require additional hardware for console players.
- Can be overwhelming for players unfamiliar with keyboard and mouse controls.
Triple Keybinds
In this build, we have the advantage of triple keybinds. This new addition offers players an unprecedented level of flexibility when it comes to customizing their control schemes. The ability to assign multiple actions to a single key opens up new possibilities and allows players to tailor their controls to their liking.
Dropping Weapons for Teammates
A feature that stands out in the tech preview build is the ability to drop weapons for teammates. This adds a layer of teamwork and cooperation, particularly when playing with less experienced players. By relinquishing weapons to teammates, we can provide them with powerful tools that they may not have acquired otherwise.
Pros:
- Facilitates teamwork and cooperation.
- Allows less experienced players to access powerful weapons.
Cons:
- Can be exploited for unfair advantages.
- May lead to conflicts within a team.
Marking System
The tech preview build introduces a new element called the marking system. This feature makes it incredibly easy to mark opponents and provides rewards for doing so. It adds a layer of strategic depth to the gameplay and encourages players to communicate and coordinate effectively with their teammates.
Field of View (FOV) Slider
The inclusion of a Field of View (FOV) slider is a highly anticipated feature for Halo fans. The FOV setting greatly impacts the gameplay experience, affecting vision, movement sensation, and speed perception. With the FOV slider, players have the freedom to adjust the field of view to their preference, enhancing their immersion in the game.
Pros:
- Allows players to customize their viewing experience.
- Enhances immersion and gameplay experience.
Cons:
- Higher FOV settings may impact performance on lower-end hardware.
- In extreme cases, a wider FOV may cause distortion or disorientation for some players.
Video Settings
The video settings section provides players with a wide range of options to fine-tune the visual experience. From graphical settings to hardware compatibility, these options allow players to optimize the game's performance based on their PC hardware capabilities and personal preferences.
Audio Customization
In the audio customization settings, players have the ability to adjust various audio elements to suit their preferences. This includes options for subtitles, allowing players to customize their experience even further.
It's essential to note that accessibility features, like the option to enable or disable subtitles, are included to ensure that the game can be enjoyed by players with different needs and preferences.
Mic Setting
One important aspect to keep in mind while playing the tech preview build is the default mic setting. By default, the mic is set to full open, meaning all in-game voice communication will be audible to others. It's recommended to be aware of this setting and adjust it accordingly to avoid any unintended situations or breaches of privacy.
Spartan Chatter
Spartan chatter adds an extra layer of immersion to the game by allowing Spartans to communicate with each other through in-game voice lines. This feature enhances the multiplayer experience and further brings the world of Halo to life.
Friend Info and Customization
To support player expression and customization, the game introduces a new system called Friend Info. With this system, players have the freedom to customize their Spartan's appearance and personalize their Spartan journey. The default red and blue color scheme has been expanded to include a wide array of colors, ensuring visibility for all players and promoting personalized experiences within the game.
Theater and Event Timeline
The theater feature, although not available in the tech preview, is an exciting option worth mentioning. It allows players to relive and rewatch their favorite moments from their gameplay sessions. Alongside the theater, a new addition called the event timeline promises to facilitate an even more immersive experience.
Weapon Offset
For players who desire further customization options, the weapon offset feature stands out. This allows players to adjust the position of their weapons, catering to individual preferences and playstyles. Whether it's for aesthetic purposes or to improve visibility, this feature adds another layer of personalization to the game.
Pros:
- Provides players with the ability to personalize their gameplay experience.
- Allows for greater immersion and comfort.
Cons:
- May require experimentation to find the ideal weapon position.
- Can potentially impact gameplay balance if not regulated.

The inclusion of new features, such as triple keybinds and the marking system, adds depth and flexibility to gameplay. Additionally, the FOV slider, friend info customization, and weapon offset options provide further opportunities for personalization.
