The next update is bringing a lot of goodness to Halo 5’s multiplayer. What do you want to see in January?
I want gametypes, gametypes and more gametypes. Adding them is essential to Hako 5’s long term life, and Forge is only half the fun with weak Custom Games.
Gametypes are being added weekly, and although they’re mostly slayer variants so far, it’s only a matter of time until Oddball or Infection shows up. That said, I hope it’s soon.
Personally, I’d like to see more vehicles. Camo variants are cool and all, but a properly modified vehicle along the lines of the ONI ones, or even a brand new one would be better. Same goes for weapons, stuff like the M6D or SPNKr would be awesome, though I’m hoping for more new stuff than just old weapons with a new lick of paint.

Agree with OP, gaetypes are what is needed most after the December update. While they’re working on gametypes for Januaru, I’d put those code monkeys to work getting PvE up and running. That’s probably the next biggest thing that I think the community wants to see.
[Kick the dead horse] Or ya know, incorporate split-screen and watch the sales double overnight.
I don’t want new playlists -Yoink!-, I want pictures of Spiderman!

If it was as easy as that, they would have done that during release.

What new gametypes have been added weekly? Do you mean the weekend playlists?
Vehicle variants are cool, but I’d like to see less of “let’s make a really overpowered vehicle” and more of a balanced choice.
For example, a standard ghost has no splash damage but fairly powerful rapid fire shots. Make a variant that TRADES damage for splash damage.
Trade the machine gun seat in the Tank for a medium range flame thrower (less range/more damage)
Phaeton with a Binary Rifle with a decent long cooldown between shots (range over splash damage of rockets)
Give me my damn scout hog with more than 2 fackin seats!
BR starts at the most important thing that need to happen in Halo 5. I got about a weeks worth of fun play time with the terrible AR / magnum starts, and then obviously everyone spraying and praying with OP ARs got really boring.

Play BTB then if your that desperate. I do think there should be a team BR’s playlist or gametype but not have everything BR starts. AR and magnum starts are pretty much a standard for halo.
Also so the magnum, BR, DMR and light rifle are all more powerful than the AR at the ranges they are MADE FOR. (Mid-long range) whereas the AR would of coarse be more powerful than them at CQC. Just putting that out there

No they don’t
They were tested in the Beta and it played awfully with BR starts, most Beta players hated it when BR starts week was up.
Ar+Pistol is perfect for Halo 5.
I find it amusing when people claim the BR is a “more skilled weapon” when its actually one of the easiest guns in the game. lol

I shouldnt have to be stuck with only playing BTB if I want BRs. AR and Magnum starts are NOT standard for Halo. Yes, thats how Halo 1 was, but then every game after that’s successful multiplayer was built around the BR. BR starts are the standard for Halo. Yeah BRs will beat the AR at long range, but thats it. The BR is mid - long range, as it should be, but theyve failed with the AR. The AR should be close range and nothing else, but instead they overpowered it to make it close - mid range.
I dont expect BR start in every single game, but I do expect it to be there at least 50% of games. Halo 3 was good for that, it was mainly BR starts, but still had AR starts every now and then

If people claimed the Beta was bad on BR starts week, then they’ve completely messed up. This is why I’m so disappointed in this game, because of how good the Beta was. The BR start week was great, because its one of the nicest feeling BRs in any Halo game.
Its skilled when you both have a BR.

the br week sucked, it turned into a camp fest, no one moved at all.
The AR and pistol starts in Halo 5 are much better.
plus, AR starts have always been a standard in Halo.
Plus H5 has the most balanced weapons sandbox in any Halo.
AR should beat a pistol, br, dmr etc at close range, people need to stop claiming other players are “bad” because they got killed by an AR in CQC. Lol, it’s what its for.
The December update hasn’t even been out yet and you’re already complaining…???
My god this community is terrible, they said they were adding social playlists stop whining
-Yoinking!- SERVER SELECTION AND FOR 343 TO STOP IGNORING THEIR PLAYER BASE OUTSIDE OF THE US. I’M SICK OF BEING FORCED TO PLAY ON US SERVERS WITH 250 PING AND RUBBER BULLETS, WHILE EVERYONE ELSE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY HAS 30 PING. MICROSOFT AZURE SERVERS IN EUROPE EXIST, LET US USE THEM! WHAT A JOKE!

No one is complaining when an AR beats a BR at close range. We’re complaining when an AR beats a BR at mid range because of how OP it is.

but it doesn’t and if it does then obviously the BR user has bad aim. Lol.
We need falcons and hornets.

What does this mean? Are players not skilled when they both use other weapons?
All the armors from the Reach characters, new emblems, new vehicles, expand file browser and Forge in any way (bigger is better), new pre-game UI.
