I’m a big fan of Fiesta since it’s probably the best social mode in Halo right now (in the absence of a working BTB), but I think it can be better. Random Equipment makes the mode an absolute blast and random vehicles have scratched that heavy tonnage itch that BTB lacks. It’s a perfect example of 343 taking advantage of the new systems/features in the game. But there are other things 343 has added.

Fusion Coils: Probably the biggest selling point early into Infinites marketing, fusion coils would not only be fun to have everywhere, but they could also “level” the playing field in fiesta. Spawned with a bad loadout? Grab a nuclear football and bonk someone over the head. Need to kill a tank, but don’t have the right tools? Throw a space box at it.
Also fusion coils have 4 different types, as we saw in the campaign, yet only plasma coils appear in the MP alongside a singular shock coil on Launch Site. And speaking of Launch Site, why is that they only 4v4 map with coils? And we may get them in forge, but campaign had these big, stationary coils that would erupt their element all over the battlefield if you shot it. These could be interesting as well. -
Grenades: This one is simple. Give players random starting grenades. Another option is to have the grenade pads active for fiesta with the standard arena spawns. It’s kind of boring only using frags every match.
Tl;dr: More cubes, more types of cubes, on more maps. And more nades.
