Every time a Halo game is announced, like little children sitting patiently on Santa’s lap we all have some wishes.
Below are a list of what I am wishing for this upcoming chris- I mean, when Halo 5 Comes out. But Halo isn’t just about me, please comment below with your wishlist, the more of these that 343 sees, the better the chances we will get our Christmas wishes.
Campaign:
- Theater in Campaign- Spartan IV’s / Elites as co-op players instead of multiple Chiefs- Space Battle similar to the ones in "Long Night of Solace"Multiplayer:
- All variations of weapons (SMG, silenced SMG, Magnum, Silenced Magnum)- Variant Weapon Skins (Instead of weapon skins with various paint-jobs, why not have different skins be different generations of the weapon. Skins for the assault rifle would have the Halo 5 version, Halo 3 version, Halo Reach Version. These would not effect the weapon’s stats.- Larger, more vehicle centric maps. Focus on long range and vehicle combat.- UNSC flying vehicle. Either a Hornet or upgraded Falcon.- Pelican and Phantom available in Forge and Custom Games.- Playable Elites- Simple Armor Skins, the armor skins were too complicated to appreciate in Halo 4, keep them basic.- More militaristic armor permutations. The Halo 4 armor sets seemed a bit too stylistic for military use, not as practical as a Spartan would hope for.- More Special FX for forge.- Forge World 2.0- Terrain additions to forge (more than the 3 sized versions from MCC)Overall Gameplay:
- UNSC Grenade Launcher- Plasma Rifle- HUD color options- Option for first person vehicle piloting.

I definitely agree with the majority of your stuff, but unfortunately the maps will be on the smaller side due to 343 turning Halo into a mainly arena styled shooter. The only thing I think would be more of a gimmick is changing the HUD color. I just feel like adding HUD colors would more or less ruin the Halo experience, making you focus on how your HUD is styled rather than the gameplay. And if the HUD color is customizable, people would start whining about why they cant move things around on their HUD, and just a whole new argument. Just my opinion though.
payable elites always the concilor armos
Yes! I tired of playing as multiple Chiefs instead of SIV or Elites. To add on to that idea the Co-op player should also be in the cutscene. NOw thinking about it, they might be doing that with Agent Locke and Arbiter.
Many people have said this multiple times(myself included) but 343 should allow us to chose between spartan 2s 3s and 4s for multiplayer. The 2s and 3s had awesome customization, and reach just blew me away with its armor. If 343 does implement this then they will see that people prefer the simple looks of the 2s and 3s compared to the shiny and complicated 4s.
I would add Bandana skull for campaign because sometimes you just wanna have fun and cut loose with a SAW. 
I know it probably will never happen but ever since halo 1 I wanted to dual wield a jackal shield with an energy sword…

Jackal shields should be a usable weapon. Maybe like a riot shield…
a lobby where you can search out custom games of your liking…
I would love many things but I’ll stick to a few:
-Playable Elites
-The Reach version of the Wraith tank
-The ability to place AI in forge mode
-Co-Op campaign that used a feature like we had in Halo 3
-Extra gametypes:
–I want to have gametypes revolving around the flood themselves
–A super social gametype where you can play as any species you wish. Anything from Hunters to ODST’s to Grunts.
-Armor that is more similar to the Reach variant but not as ridiculously bulky
-Tons of customization of our Spartan/Elite
-The Cobra in the campaign
-Human mortar turrets
-The general feel of Halo 3 combat
-Battle scenes where the designers don’t just put casualties from one of the fighting factions. I.E. no piles of marine bodies that didn’t succeed in taking a single grunt, brute, jackal, or elite with them. This happens all the time and is one of my biggest pet peeves. Just look at Halo Reach, absolutely awful about this. Halo 3 ODST did it too but with piles of elite bodies that would have been equal to a small army and yet for whatever reason there were no bodies of anything else next to them. I mean come on, they are elites man they are going to take some brutes down with them.

LOLOL multiple Chiefs… LOL. It’s true… it’s just funny the way you said it lol. It’s like multiple Arbiters… when there’s only one Arbiter at a time… Lol.
But I do agree with you… hopefully it’s like Halo 3 where you play different characters when co-oping the campaign.
What about in forge, you can pick the energy sword color?

YES
This is all from a CAMPAIGN standpoint as I’m a campaign fanatic and not really a multiplayer guy.
-
Lengthy campaign like H2
-
Lengthy campaign like H2 (Halo’s campaign has been short since H3)
-
TONS of breathtaking sceneries… or eye candies
-
Well developed and relatable characters
-
Deep, emotional, and impactful story
-
Tougher enemies. More skill required. More rewarding in the end. H2 IMO was one of the toughest Halo on Legendary.
-
TONS of skulls… Like the amount in Halo 2A
-
More diversity. Halo 2 had Covenant diversity (High Charity). Halo 5 can have more Forerunner diversity.
-
More big open worlds
-
More big battles and such
-
Space battle… similar to Reach and H4
That’s about it.
I wished for 60fps. Granted
I wished for 1080p. Granted (although I heard the beta will only be 720p)
I wished for the reticle being placed in the center of the screen. Granted.
I wished for less autoaim. Seemingly granted (anecdotal claims suggest the auto aim is lower, requiring more player based skillful accuracy).
I wished for decent starting weapons. Seemingly granted (pistol is looking pretty decent).
I think the only wish I have left, which has not been granted yet for Halo 5, is the FOV. I was wishing for something like 90+ degrees. But its not looking like this will happen.
Regardless of what people think of the actual game content, Halo 5 looks to be getting much of the FPS foundation done right. When the foundation of the game supports the core point-and-shoot gameplay, the game will become inherently engaging.
Holograms!
Holograms are the reason I continue playing halo. If anything put them in the casual playlists.
I need holograms.
Also, I do not want to search the map for holograms. I want them to be a loadout option.
I will not buy an Xbox one or halo 5 without this option. I will keep playing halo 4 (on 360, because apparently halo 4 is not an option for MCC) or I will (for the first time ever) play a cod game. It seems advanced warfare is moving in the halo direction and halo is moving backwards. Advanced warfare seems to be halo 4-(0.5) and halo 5 seems to be halo 3.2.0. I was looking forward to a sequel to halo 4.
I have a very simple list:
- Good story (Way better than Halo 4, please)
- FIREFIGHT.
Mostly, I want Firefight.

I use holograms, too. But mostly cause they’re the least stupid choice in a list of stupid choices to add to your loadout. I honestly don’t care at all if they come back or not. I hope we get back to Halo with no individual loadouts, personally.
You’re right about CoD trying to become Halo, though. And you’re totally fine to go play it if you want. Really, no one is making you stick with Halo.
