I was playing the Halo 5: Guardians Beta, with my friend, and one thing that seemed misplaced was the lack of well positional strategy… I mean we got power weapons, grenades and standard weapons… but the game now feels dull without another pickup? Halo 3 had Equipment, Halo: Reach and Halo 4, if implemented, had Armor Abilities; however I dislike the use of Armor Abilities due to the negative equality it creates.
When we play Big Team Battle or Objective matches we can fight over vehicles… but on a Arena-style map we might need something unique as well. So perhaps the use of dynamic map elements, like in Halo 2: Anniversary, could be re-introduced that change the gameplay elements temporarily.
This is my take on what it could possibly be…

Truth, a spiritual successor to Midship - the towers could have a button that ‘opens up the vaccuum release and turns on shield doors on the entrances to the towers’… this would turn Truth into a close-quarters map wih anti-gravity elements. The towers would act as temporary air lockes… with gravity and shield doors (that can block projectile missiles) which remove the firing lanes… while the rest of the map allows players to jump higher but move slower… hence anti-gravity, possibly somethings could be floating (think Halo: Reach map Zealot). This is would be a temporary feature like the shield element on Zenith.
