How about real weapon balance and not utilize only less than half the weapon set per map.
Also innovation outside the gameplay. I’d say a simple server browser would do the trick for me.
lol 343 have been bringing back old gamemodes and making them bad haha
they did that to firefight. odst firefight and reach firefight was so much better.
Honestly, as a fan of the new gameplay mechanics (not Spartan Charge), I would like to see them return, however, from the start I have been an advocate for a 50/50 split between classic and modern playlists. I think that would be the best option now that the modern Halo has established itself.
Who doesn’t like options?
Campaign
I think making each mission with a 4-man Spartan team in mind made for a much lower amount of possibilities for each mission. Even if Spartan teams stay in somehow in the next game, we all love those missions from past Halos where Chief goes one-man-army on everything in front of him
Also to dd to your campaign list, they need make sure that Halo 5 flows DIRECTLY into Halo 6. If someone played Halo 4’s campaign and all Spartan Ops episodes but never read Escalation, they would be wondering where Blue Team came from all of a sudden, where the Janus Key went, what truly happened to the Didact ect. Halo 6 should not be reliant on any media outside of the games themselves
Multiplayer
While more gamemodes are needed, there does not need to be a lower amount of playlists. Halo 5 also suffers from a low variety of online choices. We currently have 8 arena playlists, with most playlists being ranked. There needs to be a good balance of Ranked and Social playlists in Halo 6. I looked up the launch playlists for Halo 3 and he game had about 6 or 7 of EACH, and that was almost 10 years ago! The same mistake made with Halo 5 does not need to be made with Halo 6. Additionally, Warzone could use more playlists as well, such as maybe adding a Warzone Slayer playlist that goes to 250 kills or something and allows people to use their REQs, and of course Firefight will be returning soon, which is a good addition to the game
I totally agree on a file browser. Reach had a great file browser and it was easy to find all sorts of maps and gamemodes within moments
Also to add to your point about the maps, classic maps would be great, but the biggest issue with maps, in my opinion, is how 343 decided to go with looks over playability. By this, I mean that they wanted the maps to be very visually pleasing, which they are to me, but it came at the cost of walls not being flat, getting stuck on things that shouldn’t be there, ect. For example, on Coliseum, if you are on one of the ramps leading up to the sniper and someone is about to kill you, you cannot simply drop down into the fountains/ovens because there are rock formations lining the side of the ramps. You have to first jump over them before you can make to cover, or risk walking down the ramp, and if you jump, you not only make yourself more exposed than before, but it takes that much longer to reach cover. The rocks LOOK cool, but from a playability standpoint, they just don’t belong and do more harm than good since you can’t just simply walk off the side of the ramp. There are also details on the walls (pipes, for example) that your grenades can get stuck on or not bounce off of properly. An easy fix to this is to just make the wall have a flat invisible wall in front of it. That way, it still looks good and your nades will still bounce off properly. This is just two of the dozens of ways that making the maps look messed up the way they play
Remove the REQ system and either add Reach’s method of unlocking armor through cR/REQ points or make us earn them through commendations, achievements, ect.m or a combination of purchasing and unlocking armor
Matchmaking preferences, like past installments had. A server selection would be good too and should reduce the amount of laggy matches full of teleporting enemies
Don’t forget about the ELITES, apparently they’re involved in the story of multiplayer.
If they make free updates that means there gonns bring back the req system and knowing thes forums they will complain nonstop about it the campaign i agree better story,yes more gamemodes is better,the spartan abilities i dont know i love them personally but on these forums all i see anti sprint forums and how halo 5 isnt halo which annoys me so i propose two gamemodes one with the classic movement with maps that are forged or made by 343 and one with the spartan abilities to stop all these forums being annoying.
