Topics For Multiplayer:
-Customization
Personally I enjoyed Halo 2-4’s customization. However I feel instead of new armour types they should keep and also maybe ( If possible) bring back the armour from Halo 3 and Halo Reach. When Halo 3 came out and I got all the hidden skulls I liked the Spartans Hayabusa armour and the katana. Halo 4’s deadeye helmet caught my eye and got me to preorder the game. As for Halo reach, not only did I pre-order the game to get the Spartans Recon helmet but also to get the Elite Officer. That was another thing I enjoyed about Halo 3 and Halo Reach, the ability to be a Elite. I was surprised when Bungie made the Elites not customizable other than what full armour class of the Elite and not mix and match it like in Halo 3. However if 343i does include Elites in Halo 5 I would enjoy this idea. ( They don’t have to create new armour for Elites, but like with my first idea, just bring back the armour from Reach and Halo 3 and even Halo 4’s). Emblems are another thing that would be great in Halo 5 ( I’m sure there already in ) but like i’ve stated before bring back the old emblems as well.
-Firefight
I enjoyed Halo Reach’s firefight. However most of the time it was in custom games because I liked the idea of the versus mode. From just plain fighting my friends with allied aliens to even protecting generators as a Spartan. Though my idea on it is more of a balancing ( even if slightly). To add marine’s/ ODST’s of different class to help you fight the waves and your friends on the other team. Maybe make the troops weapons spawn random, like and ODST with a sniper rifle or a marine with a rocket launcher. However I mean random for each individual, not like all marines having rockets. Also customization of maps and even forged firefight maps that 343i might enjoy and implement into the multiplayer like some custom Slayer maps that were put into multiplayer games. Only problem I personally have with that is people might make all the enemies spawn in a box and they just have to throw grenades in to get EXP and rank up quickly. I have idea’s on how to stop that but I think it might be hard to explain because I don’t know how the Firefight system works.
-Invasion
This is if they add Elites again. Or maybe Elites and Spartans working together to fight separatist Elites and Prometheans. A way to bring in new players because of how people would leave if they got skunked first round or left because the thought of losing crossed their mind. Maybe slight cinematics for the losing and winning teams and a introductory for the match. Skippable of course for those who don’t want to see the same cutscene over and over. Also bring an announcer for the troops(Ex.like how an Elite said quotes for the players) though for the Prometheans it could be debatable because I have know knowledge of who’s in charge.
-Elite Gametypes
Because of what happened in Reach, Elites won’t be the same as Spartans so there could be game types specifically for them (Ex. E. Team Slayer, E. Team Snipers). This would then be lead to voting of course because many from what I’ve seen dislike Elites. If they were to create a balancing of the two then maybe it could become similar to Halo 3’s multiplayer. However if not so, my opinion on solving this would be a voting of four games, two Spartan maps and two Elite maps and also a none of the above like in Reach to bring in four more new choices.
-Search Preference
Pretty simple really. Search for quick match,connection,skilled players,those who talk, maybe even those who enjoy the game type you enjoy for species. I mention this because I didn’t notice it( if there at all) in Halo 4. Search preference was a way I made the friends I have online and this idea tweak could add the idea of me making even more friends.
-Custom Games Gametypes
Community game modes + maps most downloaded and recommended to be played with not only you and your friends but also other random people. I add this because there are a lot of game modes and maps that I have enjoyed over the years of Halo and I disliked not being able to play them because the lack of friends playing at the time, however this also introduced me to friends I now have. So this would be a great way to spread people’s imagination and ability in creating things in forge. Even add a credibility to those who made the map.
Well this pretty much my major ideas. So those of you who take the time to read it, thanks and add your thoughts to it as well.
