halo 5 is great so far but its missing a few modes that made other titles popular, infection, mini/giant slayer, dominion, invasion/extraction, i know war zone isn’t to be forged, but invasion and dominion, are perfect for forge.
as far as vehicles go, the mammoth would be nice to reintroduce for the large maps, and hornets since they function the same as phaetons(could just do a skin change), alternate skins for forge would pick things up for forgers, on the topic you also have to wonder why war zones vast weapon arsenals are not available in forge.
almost seems like they feel popularity would drop if they allowed such additions, or they are saving it for halo 6 to make everyone buy that or some other stupid deal they got going.
Some new items need to be added to forge as far as pre built structures go, unless they are going to create some palette where you design the buildings to use on all maps. they really should give you a polygon creation/editor menu to make forge items of your own design, but they probably aren’t that generous, it’s not about being able to do it or not, its about building expectations they don’t want for the next title.
i am interested to hear everyone’s thoughts on the matter.
You pretty much hit the nail on the head. H5 is lacking what fans like. 343 replaces and removes too many Halo traditions. I absolutely love Halo 5’s core gameplay mechanics but beyond that the game is lacking almost everything I’d expect from a Halo game. Playlist variety, campaign co-op matchmaking, firefight, forge are the things I expect to be in a Halo game at launch. Anything else should be extra. And I don’t have a problem with REQs and Warzone but they obviously took priority over keeping Halo traditions.
As for additions…Don’t expect much besides skins, armor, and variants for warzone weapons and vehicles. I doubt if mammoths and REQ items make it into forge. A lot of missed opportunities with REQs. Firefight would’ve been great with REQs along with REQ stations in Forge.
This game frustrates me to no end.
You bumped your head man lol… don’t get me wrong, skins are cool but they’re ultimately meaningless. Halo 5 needs more MAPS and game-modes!
MEANINGFUL CONTENT is what Halo 5 needs.

skins can give a great opportunity to build different themes to go along with new gametypes, for instance lets say infection was added in, horror skins such as blood splatters on buildings and such would really give an overall better experience. especially ones like trees to make things look all dead and withered. not to mention 343 would add horror maps for infection most likely, or add community made like in 4 and reach.
Look, if 343 is going to add more armor, skins and other forms of cosmetic DLC they need to give ways to unlock them outside of REQ Packs. That’d give me something to actually work towards and stay playing.

Literally one of the most frustrating things when opening a new REQ pack:
“Ohh really? Another desert-themed Warthog/Mongoose/random vehicle certification that I’ll never use? Fantassssstic…”

no its for COD gamers muhahahahahahahahahahahah!!!
NO. MORE. SKINS
Seriously if you think skins is actually a priority when there’s a severe lack of other content like missing playlists then may God have mercy on us all.

People who makes maps and gametypes aren’t the same people who make Skins.
They can keep making skins, and the Map and gametype folks can make maps and gametypes.
We’ve seen more skins as they are easier to make.
Halo 5 doesn’t need any more skins, nor any more new Req unlocks…NEEDS MORE MAPS!!!

skins for forging maps, in previous titles, top community forged maps made it into playlists, for variety, more forge skins = more maps= “you win”

Bingo right on the money, so more skins shouldn’t be a problem its just what they are for, so some forge ones should be added in themes of new game type additions

I think there’s nothing we need more than PvE anything other than just campaign.

that’s good but they made it clear campaign isn’t their focus no more, so topics are straying from that business. nice to see gamers still on about the campaign though.
the reason halo5 is lacking its fan base
it is because halo5 does not have 1-50 ranking system
a lot of people play MCC because of the 1-50 ranking system
countless of time my friends tell me they will play h5 if there was a better ranking system
Some community voted retro-maps would be awesome. Just don’t allow Adrift…playing that every other game in 4 killed me.
