Thing I would change is the Weapon Variants. Make it to where I can refill my Pulse Rifle Variant with a regular Pulse Rifle on the ground. It’s kinda dump having cool variants but can’t use them very often cause you discard them after they’re empty. The variants all take the same ammo anyways, the only difference with the variants is the color and function changes, but still all take the same Ammo type.
Vehicles: vehicles feel very paper thin and brow easily, this also needs a change. I’d also make the UNSC ship and the Banchee needs to be faster, heck, all vehicles could be faster if I’m gonna be honest. They feel sluggish and slow.
Adding New Game Plus. Allow us to use all our upgrades on new play throughs. We worked hard for them and would like to use my upgrades. Also add some Campaign DLC and not do what apex does and tie the story to the MP. We want more to do in the Open World Halo etc.
These would make the Campaign more fun th en it already is.

I ran into a lot of these same problems. I think the variants is fine as is, mostly because they’re supposed to use specific variant ammo and would be WAYYY OP if you could regularly fill them from the battlefield.
Agree, especially on the Wasp. Maybe I’m missing a control or something but when I’m trying to traverse distances it is SLOWWWW.
New Game Plus would be dope. I expect a lot of campaign DLC is coming in the next few years and I am here for it!
You can refill the weapon variant ammo through the kinetic/plasma/shock/power ammo boxes. I find if you’re actively looking for these boxes while you have variants then you’ll have three gun around for plenty of time
Yeah, typically it’s pretty easy to refill kinetic/plasma as those seem to be the most readily available. Power weapons though are few and far between, which is why I always carry the advanced sniper, even though it’s less powerful. 40 bullets. 40!!
They need to bring back, the backsmack on enemies
Seeing as the Campaign/Open World, I see nothing wrong with having the Variant Weapons be OP and being able to refill in on the Battlefield. But we can agree to disagree on this. Destiny’s PvE suffers cause we can’t have OP things like we should. I don’t want Infinite to suffer that.
But I’m glad to see we agree on the other topics O mentioned.
I’ve been having a hard time finding the plasma refil stations.
I do wish in the linear levels that there was this ability. I found myself going into one of the linear ones fully loaded and then 1/4 of the way through having to discard one of my sick weapons because I couldn’t resupply.
In the open world though, I didn’t really need the ability considering I could resupply at any local FOB. Also, even on Legendary, the open world sections weren’t terribly difficult.
I’m still on the fence about the weapon variants to begin with- I feel like H5 went waaaay overboard on that concept and massively diluted and overcrowded the sandbox with those.
Infinite seems to be exercising way more restraint, which I appreciate, but I still feel like they could be an issue going forward. I agree that it feels dumb that they don’t pickup ammo from their regular counterparts in the gameplay, though. That was probably a balancing consideration to keep players from leaning too hard on particular weapons, but considering how many ammo boxes there seem to be literally everywhere through the campaign, it feels pointless because people can basically just keep their power weapon of choice in their back pocket and count on finding enough ammo caches to keep it topped up for every important boss fight or tricky engagement anyways 
Vehicles do feel a bit fragile, especially the Wasp and Banshees. I’d call them glass canons, except they really don’t have that much offensive capability in comparison to their really low durability. I absolutely understand that these have to be balanced to have major downsides so they don’t turn into blank checks for beating any/all of the open world events, but they do feel almost pointless for anything but traversal as-is (and even then, the prevalence of shock weapons and their frustrating, unavoidable EMP which isn’t telegraphed to the player at all (at least the Plasma Pistol always very clearly gave you a visual indicator that you were about to be EMP’d and to plan accordingly) makes for some awkward and annoying situations).
Having a New Game Plus style feature would be cool, absolutely, but I’d prefer for the Replay Missions feature to take priority. Not having that option is a big oof at the moment.

From what I can tell, the power weapon ammo boxes seem to only really spawn on the islands that unlock in the second half of the game.
I’ve also started experiencing kinetic and plasma ammo boxes depleting all of a sudden which is odd. For the first two to three days I played campaign, it seemed like most of them had unlimited ammo refills, as I used the same box to fully refill my BR multiple times during story missions…
