Bring back descoping so we focus more on mid to cqc fighting, and to balance DMR.
Bring back required dlc for certain playlists just like halo 3, so we can actually play it.
If we’re going to make mandatory DLC, we better make it free or else we’ll see enormous population drops.
And yes, there’s an alternative to paid map packs called microtransactions—which also happen to be a far superior source of income.

Armor and weapon skins, stances, aesthetic attachments, just any sort of cosmetic customization option would work great.

I’m sorry, but I cant support micro-transactions in a $60 game, even for cosmetics. Something about “You just paid a crapload of money for my game, but here, spend another $20 for the armor bits and skins you want” rubs me the wrong way.
The only way I’d be ok with that is if it really is only cosmetics and you can eventually unlock the same items by playing the game anyway, so that the transactions are just about getting them sooner. I dont want to be stuck with default/crap armor forever just because I refuse to spend money on such things. Maybe have a few things that are paid only, but also keep a few that are earned only, that way certain armor still means something.
That said, I do think that DLC needs to either be made more accessible price-wise, or have a few good playlists that don’t need it, that way people can still play the game while they wait for the price to drop. But there also need to be DLC only playlists because if i buy DLC i want to actually be able to play it outside of a custom game.
Alternately, matchmaking could attempt to put players with the DLC together and players without it together, and have a greater weight on selecting the DLC map when its available. That way you don’t need to segregate the playlists but players with DLC will still have a good chance to play it.
