I want to start off by saying bravo. You did a pretty great job on this game. As a player who’s been playing Halo since it came out, I am definitely pleased with this one. However, I have a few suggestions. Mainly in Multiplayer.
First, Team Snipers was probably my favorite playlist in some of the older games. I’ve been patiently waiting for a unranked Sniper playlist but yet again, we get games like Infection or Griffball. Those games are awesome, but definitely not why I play Halo by any means and if they weren’t there, I probably wouldn’t care aside from the fact that they are fun games.
Secondly, Social Slayer and SWAT should be available. Maybe the player doesn’t want to sacrifice their rank or KD to play online or with their friends. Sure you can run Custom Games, but it’s not as fun as building a team and fighting random other players. It allows for players to progress and get better without their Service Record being completely destroyed if they intend to later play a little more seriously. I know I love the game, but I’d like to play it at times just for fun instead of stats. Oh, had a bad game in Unranked play? Whatever. Want to learn more about how the maps play without getting destroyed? Boom, take some practice playing random people. Things like that would make the game much more fun, in my opinion.
Another idea I have is remastering all the old legendary multiplayer maps in a DLC. Like 4 of them would be great. My list would be Turf(H2), Zanzibar(H2), Construct (H3), and Blood Gulch (H1). It would be epic, and I would pay 25 dollars for it easily.
Also, one of my favorite parts of Halo was the ranking system. Yours is the best I’ve seen so far. However, I miss the military ranks being associated to your SR. Even if you added a couple that were Halo specific. Something other than just a number. Bungie did awesome with that, even gave you a cool symbol by your name for your highest rank (that’s another idea too). I have no qualms with the Bronze-Champion system. That is so awesome!
I get you guys are trying to make your mark on the series, you’re truly doing a great job with H5. But there are some aspects of the game I feel should have been kept, just expanded upon. If you guys could do some little things, then continue the path you’re blazing, I really believe you will blow Bungie away in the series.
Love,

P.S. Thank you for making H5 feel so much like original Halo. The armor abilities were kind of annoying when all the enemies already have shields. Don’t bring them back.
I will add: Make a classic playlist plz (Br start, maybe no spartan new moves?)
