I’ll start this off with the fact that I have tried to be vocal about my want for Halo to bring back its main core of gaming into todays “Modern Gaming” age. So, I’m glad to see their announcement to change the store and fix issues.
I made a post about the pay wall (MTX) and I am glad to see they are working on it. However, it still boggles my mind that this game was supposed to launch a year ago. How? What shape would it have been in then?
Nevertheless, there’s still a few things I’d like to see come in the near future. This is just something me and my group of friends have talked about, which I believe the core of Halo’s Community is, a group of friends launching into the ether to join in the carnage and grind Halo was and still can be.
You made it here, stand by for the list.
- I do not want to see game modes and major updates that are potentially ready for launch now to be held back just so this game can say it’s meeting its “Live Service” requirements by postponing them.
-If you make a free event to earn in game content, all that content for the theme should be in those passes. None of that stuff belongs in the store, it alienates people from the grind if they get an ammo pouch or shoulder for free but the core armors and colors that are awesome are locked behind monetization.
-Speaking of armor unlocks, do not space out the tiers by separating attachments. For instance, why do shoulders need to be tier 1 and 2 when both can be one tier. What if someone wants that item can only play a day or a few hours and get screwed out of that item because it’s two different tiers behind two days of play. This also applies to the main Battle Pass
-The Battle Pass theme should contain only content, or majority, of the content on that theme and none of that should be locked behind a paywall. (In reference to the HAZOP incident).
-This may be a harder fix, but pregame and post-game lobbies would be nice to have come back. Along with party up features.
-It would be nice if we can load up multiple game modes to search and play in at the same time.
-Concurrently, why do I need to relaunch multiplayer after every match, keep me searching until the player cancels the search.
-I’ll hit on weekly rewards too, make those worth the grind, armor, A.I’s, charms, weapons and vehicle mods, etc.
-In game currency also need to be obtainable through gameplay as well. (These last two points I’ve hit before but it’s worth hitting again, “squeakiest wheel” right?
-Custom Games needs major attention, Halo’s player base and community have always been a source of more fun and free content you DEVs save time on making. Don’t cut that away from people.
-Having sperate knee pads would be neat as well. Let me mix match those like the shoulders.
-Colors still need to be universal across all armor cores. Unlock for one unlock for all.
-A minor note I’ve seen hit upon is body types of Spartans. Many of my female friends feel left out with the lack of form fitting armor and more obvious gendered body types. Everyone looks like a guy.
That concludes the list, if you stayed this long thank you for taking time out of your day to read this. 343i the community is an asset Halo gets not many games do. Don’t alienate us and neglect us. We all want you to succeed help us help you. As always feel free to comment on this and make your opinions and voices heard. Stay united and Keep it Clean!
