HUD
You should be able to carry 4 of the same Grenade types for each Grenade type.
Another thing is when you stand over a weapon it doesn’t show the image of the weapon you are about to pick up, so if 343i could add that it would be much easier to play.
SPARTAN ABILITIES
- Sprint
Why don’t 343i make it so that when your walking you can only Sprint when your Shields start to Recharge or at 100% and when you’re at top velocity with Sprint if you have half Shields or less then you get De-Sprinted. But in order for that to happen 343i will need to change how fast you get to top velocity with Sprint to 5 seconds and if you’re trying to get to top velocity but you don’t and get shot in those 5 seconds then you get De-Sprinted. Not only will this get rid off the ‘Cat and Mouse’ style of Halo completely, but it’ll make Gunfights more enjoyable because players can’t back away from a Gunfight by Sprinting. This will also mean the the call ‘He’s 1 shot on my X’ will actually mean something as the enemy can’t Sprint away until their Shields start to Recharge. This will not only cater to the fans that do want Sprint because they can rush for Power Weapons at the start of the match and also quickly get back into the action after they die and still do the Spartan Abilities that require top velocity for Sprint like Slide and Charge, but it’ll also cater to the fans that don’t want Sprint because when they’re in Gunfights they can’t Sprint, which is what most of the Competitive Community want.
Another thing I’ld like to see is when the Power Weapons Spawns in the beginning of the match and lets say it Spawns in Mid or Outside, you should make it that you can’t Sprint in that certain area it says on your Radar. This way a player can’t just quickly Sprint in and out of that area and get a Power Weapon with hardly any Risk and with more Reward.
- Thrust Pack and Shields
343i can still use ‘Your Shields and Health won’t Regenerate’ with another Ability, and that Ability should be with the Thrust Pack. Every time that a player is waiting to Recharge their Shields and Health and they use Thrust Pack, they should make it so that the Recharge has to start over again (just like it is now for Sprint) because players can still dodge Gunfire and Grenades without being punished and they’re still Recharging their Shields and Health.
- Thrust Pack and Sprint
The only thing with this is that your Momentum with Sprint makes the Thrust Pack go further, so if you could reduce the range on that, but keep the Thrust Pack the same while you’re walking, that’ll be great.
- Thrust Pack, Charge & Ground Pound
Another thing that I’ld like 343i to do would be to make Thrust Pack, Charge and Ground Pound all connected for a 4 second waiting time so that after you do one of the features you can’t quickly do another one.
SHIELD RECHARGE
The wait for your Shields to Recharge currently in Halo 5 is 4 seconds, which is way to quick and instead it should be 6 seconds like it was in Halo CE.
In addition, the Shield Recharge Rate is currently at 3 seconds and I think should be changed to 4 seconds.
PHYSICS
I would like to see back the instant exploding Grenade from Halo 3 where you place a Grenade on the wall so that it falls to the ground and then chuck another Grenade right near it so the Grenade instantly explodes into the opponents face. This should work with all Grenade types. This should not be considered a glitch, it should be considered as a skill.
Also include the Grenade launch from Halo 4 where you chuck the Grenade and then immediately Sprint to launch the Grenade.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
- Dual Wielding
This is really an optional Feature, but I would highly suggest 343i to do it so that they not only they please the Casual side of the Halo community, but also bring in new players with this new Feature that I think needs to be in Halo ever since Bungie added it in Halo 2. The only problem with this is that Halo 5: Guardians is already pretty much already Balanced and if they add this Feature then they would have to Re-Tweak the Weapons that are in the Dual Wielding section. If 343i can do this in a year and Re-Tweak it so that all the Weapons are Balanced then they should definitely do it, no questions asked, but if they can’t at least add it into Custom Games and the Campaign.
Also with the feature ‘Smart Scope’ with Dual Wielding, just make it like the original games when you were Dual Wielding so when you Scope in there is no Reticle and that as soon as someone shoots you or you start firing your Weapons that you get De-Scoped.
- Button Glitches
Now this will be the most controversial Feature in this post. Button Glitches were in Halo 2 and were a mistake that Bungie didn’t want to have in their game. But see this is where I think Game Developers mislead people. Game Developers always talk about Balance in games and that if you can kill someone faster than the other person can, then it’s not Balanced but Halo 2 made Button Glitches so that everyone had it and it was up to you whether you wanted to use it or not. Sound familiar? This is what 343i has been saying and Marketing for the Halo 5: Guardians Beta. If 343i could add this into their game not only will it make it so that the fourth layer of Halo is really great and great to watch, which is why 343i are adding all these features in the first place (for E-Sports), but it will also make it even more Balanced, which is why I think Halo 2 was the greatest Halo game out there because it added that fourth layer before any game I knew did.
If 343i simply can’t add this because the game wasn’t built around it, then I would expect it to be in their next game as a must.
EXTRAS
Make sure Assassinations and each individual Spartan Ability are allowed to be disabled in Custom Games for Competitive play.
This should only be in Campaign and Custom Games, but, if you have no weapons on you I think that you should be able to Punch/Melee (so that there is hand to hand combat) and deal the same amount of damage as a normal Melee (not a deal breaker, but it would be cool for Campaign and Custom Games).
Make so that you can turn off in game Spartans Chat for Multiplayer and Custom Games because when you have a good team you don’t need the call outs in-game.
Make it so that you can turn off kill-cams.
I also would like it if friendly fire was turned on for all Game Modes
