343 no more infinity slayer or infinity settings there not halo just get rid of it all together no having infinity ranked and social playlist just straight up a traditional halo game! Dont tell me halo needs to change cause it doesnt halo 2 and halo 3 and 1 were perfect than reach came out and well u know most people hated that game it was trash. <mark>So lets see 25k-30k population on halo 4 currently wat a failure.</mark> . <mark>So 343 my suggestion for halo 5 to you is go back and play halo 3 and halo 2 and evolve your game off that none of this reach and halo 4 noob bs. Everyone wants classic halo back please just bring it back!!! i want my arena based shooter back god so much nostalgia.</mark>
Halo 5 needs:
-Ranked And social playlist
1-50 ranks on ranked playlist in game!!!
-Make social playlist use xp based ranking system like halo 3
4 shot br with 2 shot beatdown to kill
No dmr
no Light rifle
No AAs
No sprint
No ordnance (No personal no map nothing get it out its from cod!! -Yoink- that)
Halo 2 like sniper
Classic maps brought back
Spectator mode
No more Promethan guns
Be on mlg
Power weapons on map
Dual wielding
camo on map pickup
reach like forge with night and day affects and weathering effects to.
Wat indeed.
OP, you do know that we can’t go backwards anymore? Removing all aspects of Halo Reach and 4, and just making Halo 5 a re-skin of Halo 3 is really, really stupid idea.
What Halo 5 needs is both, Infinity and classic, not just classic.
Looking at your post, I can tell you haven’t played halo 4 in a while. Play it again, trust me, it’s a different game. Specifically legendary slayer and use the br. So much better. Just do it. Trust me, you won’t regret it.

I concur.
OP: If Halo 5 were to be similar to Halo 3, it would just be very boring. Halo 4 is like the “future” of Halo, yeah there maybe things we all agree and disagree on, but I rather have both Infinity Settings and Classic Settings on two separate playlists. If not, add classic options in Custom Games. That’s pretty much it. Going backwards would be quite silly, TBH.

H4 wasnt so much moving forward as much as it was more sideways but I also agree on separate playlists.
Dude, your doing what 343i did to competitive people (like myself) when they made a casual only game with Halo 4’s MP, except now your throwing Casuals in the corner and not supporting them. Why not support both and help keep Halo population strong in both types of playlist. Get a hold of your self and see the big picture where everyone is happy, not just being selfish and thinking about what you directly want.
And I mean having both at launch, pretty much equal support. Infinity can use some adjustments, but building off of what Legendary Slayer has introduced back into Halo 4 can help make the more competitive/“classic” gameplay many like. Both sides like them, so support for both sides should be necessary. Shoving one into a corner does not solve anything.

No… not really. Legendary Slayer is close, but still no good. Sprint just ruins the entire game.

The goal is not to make the next game exactly like Halo 3, the goal is to make the next game an actual HALO game. Halo 4 is so far away from what makes Halo what it is that it can hardly be called a Halo game. Halo 4 should have moved forward from what made Halo 3 such an amazing game, rather than try something completely different.
Halo has always been an Arena style shooter, which means everyone starts with the same weapons and everyone has an equal opportunity to obtain power weapons, powerups, etc. because they spawn on the map. 343, for some reason, tried to make Halo 4 into something that it isn’t by copying other popular shooters with custom classes, PERKS (are you kidding me?), personal ordnance drops, sprint, and so on.
Halo doesn’t need to copy other shooters though, because what made Halo so great in the past was that it was unique and different. Compare the population of past Halo games to the population of Halo 4. Halo 3 was in the top spot on Xbox Live long after it’s release. Halo 4 is in something like 8th place and getting lower every week, with a population that barely reaches 30,000.
If I want my own custom loadouts I’ll go play Battlefield. If I want some stupid perk that makes me reload faster I’ll go play Call of Duty. But I don’t want to play BF or CoD, I want to play HALO. Unfortunately, I can’t do that with Halo 4.
i knew i would get flamed for this post and it was really just to see how many people agree with me about infinity and classic being together what i really want is this.
Put Infinity playlists alongside Traditional playlists, each with their own ranked/social sections. Retain the settings for each respective style, plus whatever innovations 343i decides to throw in as well.
Inhales, exhales slowly
Okay now… hear me out.
Remove sprint, keep it as a custom game option. Why? Primarily for the sake of the maps. History has shown us that the maps from pre-sprint Halos are generally better-liked than Reach/4 maps. Having a single movement speed also eases the burden on the developers, requiring only one set of quality maps. No more worries about map X not working with/without sprint.
This way, players from both styles of gameplay (Infinity and Traditional) get what they want, while the competitive players, casual players, and anyone in between gets what they want, all on a good set of solid maps.
This is my suggestion for the next in the franchise.
Like i mentioned previously with separate playlists, personally this is how it should be done. Once you start MM -
Ranked or Social (you click either one) then Classic or Infinity (you click either one) then you choose what ever game playlist you want thats pretty much it.
However, I just remembered, the population #. How this should work is get votes for What gametypes/playlists players want in Ranked/Classic and Ranked/Infinity and they’ll be listed. Once that’s done, then move to Social/Classic and Social/Infinity. Then again, that would be pretty confusing.

We don’t need “both”, we need a good game. Not two crappy games split right down the middle.
If a feature is good, keep it.
If a feature is bad, remove it.
Don’t justify bad content by just saying “Oh we can just throw every thing we don’t like into custom games” or “we can just have 9001 sub-sections of the game”.
I think classic playlists are a good idea, as they give homage to what brought the game so far to begin with. But they definitely aren’t a requirement, nor should the entire game be based solely on what existed and didn’t exist in the past.
Sidenote: The Halo 2 Sniper was a complete noob cannon and should not be brought back.
just get rid of it all together no having infinity ranked and social playlist just straight up a traditional halo game! Dont tell me halo needs to change cause it doesnt halo 2 and halo 3 and 1 were perfect than reach came out and well u know most people hated that game it was trash. <mark>So lets see 25k-30k population on halo 4 currently wat a failure.</mark> . <mark>So 343 my suggestion for halo 5 to you is go back and play halo 3 and halo 2 and evolve your game off that none of this reach and halo 4 noob bs.
