343. Ways to make Halo 6 better

Awhile back I posted an angry rant on Halo 5 listing everything that was wrong with it hoping that they don’t ruin Halo 6. Well today I reinstalled it and took a look at the most resent update. And I got to say that they are slowly going in the right direction. Now the main issues that I have with the game I’m pretty sure can’t be fixed with just a few updates but the fact that I can now view my medals from my previous game is a step in the right direction.
Many of my problems stem from:

  • Terrible Campaign (Lied about story and only play as Chief for 3 of the 15 missions. Really 343?) - Radar size - Micro-transactions (I would like to go back to earning everything by doing like an achievement or completing a challenge of some sort. Not RNG) - Lack of emblem customization (previous halo game levels of customization, not just templates) - Lack of spartan customization (I would love a halo reach level of customization. And playable Elites. As well as Some hayabusa armor with katana. Come on 343!) - Boring and unmemorable maps (None of the maps feel “Halo” like. Plus the dlc maps look and feel the same as the launch maps) - Warzone (God I hate this mode. 95% of the time, at least when I play, your either steamrolling the other team or you are being steamrolled, Not fun either way) - No file share (Halo Reach had the best file share. Please bring that back) - Forge (While the things you can make in forge are awesome, the controls are TERRIBLE!!!) - The lack of power from the explosive weapons and the forerunner weapons. - The forerunners are boring to fight (Bring back the flood and/or the brutes)Now if 343 can make a better story for halo 6 (firing the lead writer would help), remove the req packs, fix the forge controls, and make maps that fit in a halo game instead of COD, Halo 6 will be a game that most Halo fans would definitely come back to play. Now if anybody else has ideas on how to make sure that halo 6 isn’t a failure like halo 5 (lets be honest people halo 5 wasn’t as successful as previous halo games) respond.

Forgot they said Chief was main hero of the game LOL, don’t get your hopes up halo 6 is probably going to bomb, can’t wait to see what new features we are going to get and lose at the same time (probably be able to go prone and drop shot and we will have to pay a subscription to play on their crappy servers LOL)

Theory with my friends and I are that they’ll lock each campaign level to the req packs

Well halo 5 forge is the best forge and everyone agrees, it takes time to learn the controls but when you do its soooo good

warzone isn’t even that bad, either don’t play it or get good because it’s not going anywhere

rader size is alright but it still sucks

and they probably won’t add in playable elites only if they make a arena mode for it like elite vs elite

and I agree with everything else :slight_smile: I did halo 5 on legendary and got nothing for it so that’s a disappointment, i would like halo 6 to keep a lot of armour from halo 5 into halo 6

So my Suggestions are those.
I think halo has become too colorful this time. The Level design is… well okey, but the maps look so damn empty, I think the level design is less more detailed than in Reach tbh.

So, for Halo 6, I’d like to see a Storyline that deals with the Halos again. It’s so weird that 343 is just looking for new directions to keep the francise running, though that’s not always what the Fans want.

I want the Armor Customisation from Halo Reach Back. Sure it would be a lot of Effort, but I think it’s everyones dream to build their own unique Spartan.

The Weapons in Halo 5 are too similar. I remember Halo 2 Times when every weapon had it’s own touch, now they are nothing special.

And the most Important: Bring back the Chief. Don’t even try to Invent new Spartans. We all know that nobody is gonna be as badass as the Chief, and if you don’t let us play him, it’s no Halo tbh.
Personally, I’d like to see something like an Epic Event, in which the Chief dies and a new Spartan takes his place. Someone unique, someone badass. Someone who’s secretly been trained for such purposes.

And last but not least: Elites. -Yoink- 343 bring back the Elites. I loved Halo 2 and it’s Gameplay, I loved seeing the Other Side and I totally enjoyed the Multiplayer, bc honestly. Why should Spartans fight eachother in Times of war? The introduction of Outbreak is something debatable. In Outbreak, you know it’s supposed to be a training simulation, but that makes the other Multiplayer Modes just so more stupid.

  • campaign was ok for me, why you didn’t like? just because you could play your favorite character in only 3 out of 15 missions? also i would appreciate to have more multiplayer but NO campaign in halo 6

  • radar size what? to small? you want the whole map on your radar? feels good for me, i wouldnt change anything there.

  • well micro transactions a whole topic on its own, you can just hate them for pretty understandable reasons. but i got to say 343 did not to bad on their req system, i never really felt like i need to spend money on it to not miss out on something.

  • who cares about emblems? how can make emblem customization a better game?

  • halo reach customization was better, would like to have it back… but same as emblems, it doesn’t improve my gameplay - i dont really care, (but i would love to see playable elites coming back)

  • the rig is love the rig is life

  • SWAT, god i hate this mode… guess what? i dont play it!

  • file share would be really good, how about not to wait until halo 6?

  • controls in forge always felt terrible to me, never used it to much… could be the reason why, idk

  • lack of power? thats just not true

  • i always hated to fight the flood! covenant > forerunner > brute > floodopinions are different, those are just mine
    and you forgot one very important thing: give us back splitscreen bungie!

I think that 343 can do a better job with halo 6. I have multiple ideas for what halo 6 should have.
-bring back the flood and maybe kill off Locke with it in the third mission
-make the color palette more darker and grittier it’s become so light and comicish
-make it so we can buy the armor we want, 343 can still include random packs and they could still have micro transactions with single armor pieces
-make a better and longer campaign that doesn’t get repetitive over time
-add Spartan armor to forge and AI, we could custom make levels and who knows maybe they could add this in a halo 5 DLC
-bring back armor abilities, we had them in the past but in the future they’re gone
-add a couple new mechanics, the Spartan abilities in halo 5 were in my opinion great but maybe they could add something natural like pushing off whiles in the low gravity or just a little boost on the wall. This could be used to jump over enemies that are flanking you and take them by surprise

I think these would be great editions to halo 6 and maybe some for halo 5

Better campaign and more customization would make a world of difference.

Honestly if they would just make the story better and maybe follow the books that made halo what it is that would be a great start. A polished turd is still a turd.
