Yes:
Dual Wielding
elites
old maps
the arbiter

maybe:
brutes

no:
firefight

dual*

I don’t think that Halo ever needs to include dual wielding again.

In fact I don’t think Halo 5 needs any of the things listed, but that’s just my opinion.

So Halo 5 should be Halo 3?

your really easy to please OP, I personally expect much more from a halo game but I guess thats just me.

I agree with op, I miss Brutes!

The only thing from that list that could possibly show up in halo 5. Is the Arbiter. Fits the story somewhat. Maybe a couple old maps. No dual wielding.

Moa jousting

Dual wielding was always fun, but I’m sure it isn’t easy to perfectly balance them, I mean a lot of dual wielded weapons were nearly useless unless you had it’s other half.

No, Halo 5 NEEDS to be tested for at least 7 months in both private and public

And for microsoft the stay the hell out of things and let 343 make a halo game.

Firefight come back!! Spartan Ops are boring.

Needs more Bungie.

Excuse the list. I’m not a hardcore Halo player but I’ve always loved the series, so don’t bother picking everything apart. This is just stuff I’d like to see in my ideal Halo game.

  • More options for custom games (including dual wielding)
  • More forge
  • Firefight
  • More Sabre/Broadsword/Pelican missions and space combat
  • Falcon
  • Older model Pelicans (they were cooler)
  • M7 SMG
  • Coax MG back on the Scorpion in campaign and firefight.
  • Some of the vehicles and aircraft seen in Halo Wars
  • Flamethrower
  • Arbiter
  • More story related to the Covenant
  • Brutes
  • Stronger Forerunner weapons. Forerunner weapons should be very powerful and reflect their technological level. In Halo 4 they are too similar to Covenant and UNSC weapons. Remove them from starting multiplayer loadouts and make them fearsome.
  • Flood/infection gametype closer to that of Halo: Reach.
  • Sgt. Johnson’s voice actor for somebody semi-important
  • Return of the Aussie marine
  • Moa
  • Flashlight
  • More emblems! I miss the hawk one I always used in Halo 3.
  • More Easter Eggs, I loved spending hours in Halo 2 searching for stuff. Halo: Reach had some amusing ones as well.

What Halo 5 needs to to NOT BE DISCUSSED YET! 343i -Yoinked!- up more in a month then Bungie did in 10 years especially with this specialization code -Yoink- their making millions of us go threw! So -Yoink- Halo 5 for now first what 343 has to do is fix the -Yoink- ups in halo 4 THEN! Think about Halo 5

Bungie needs to come back!!

> Needs more Bungie.

Lol. I immediately thought of someone dipping their finger into a pot, tasting it, and saying “Tck, tck, tck . . . .Needs more Bungie.”

A new developer.

If not, at the very least it should have new lead designers.

But, for specifics when it comes to MP;

  • A vastly updated engine
  • A ranking/league system in certain ‘ranked’ playlists at launch
  • A different approach to playlists (H3/Reach style, IMO)
  • Better matchmaking system in general (search options, JiP only in social playlists, etc)
  • Better vehicle gameplay (H3 style vehicles worked best)
  • A vastly improved forge
  • More custom game options
  • Just about every Halo gametype we’ve ever had
  • Better designed maps that fit all niches/sizes
  • More maps. It’s stupid that a triple A title with 3 years development time can only launch with 9 actual MP maps plus one reskin.
  • A ranked/social divide to allow for both competitive and laid back play, with sections of matchmaking for each
  • New and interesting vehicles, along with the return of old ones
  • Firefight. Any story they want to tell like they do in spartan ops would be better told through some sort of campaign DLC.
  • Static weapon spawns. I can tolerate waypoints, providing they could be disabled in custom games.
  • Custom games search would be good, and something a lot of people have wanted for a while. With decent custom game options this could be REALLY popular.
  • Back to basics approach to Halo. It’s abundantly clear that loadouts, killstreaks, perks and so on aren’t going to make Halo popular again and alienate more people than they attract. H5 should strip away all the failed additions like AAs and so on and focus on improving and expanding the Halo core.

Needs more halo…

> Firefight come back!! Spartan Ops are boring.

This, this, and more this. I hate Spartan Ops. The first chapter really is insane. I was playing in Normal and died 12 times. I played the last two chapters of the last episode on Normal and didn’t die at all. God how I hate Spartan Ops. Whoever thought this was a good replacement for Firefight needs to have his head examined. If if they think I’m paying for a future season more heads need to be examined.

No Prometheans. They look stupid and no enemies that can teleport.

Much better Covenant enemies. These are a bust. They don’t look right or behave correctly. Elites don’t evade and grunts have no comic relief value. Grunts used to be fun. Now they’re just fodder.

Armor that doesn’t look stupid. Reach had much better armor.

Firefight. Spartan Ops is a bust. It’s mildly entertaining at best when playing the current season, but mostly it’s boring and has no replay value. People who like it now need to wait until the last episode of the first season is out and see how many people are playing it a few weeks later. Also, wait and see if they don’t charge for future seasons and see how much you like that.

Public beta testing. This thing just has too many bugs in it it. I’m tired of starting a game and realizing my loadout has been reset to the defaults.

No fiascos like specializations.

Enough copies at release to meet demand for all versions.

A commitment to keep their customers informed. If there is one thing 343i really fails at it’s keeping us informed about problems and when they’ll be resolved.

Remove the SAW.

A classic mode playlist with no AAs, classic maps, and no sprint. I never played Halo CE or Halo 2 multiplayer, but my favorite MM playlist in Reach is Anniversary Classic.

Halo 5 needs the following:

All modes - Campaign, Firefight, Ops, War Games (so everyone is happy)
Forge Universe - A blank sandbox map that you can set the terrain by selecting specific options, in addition to adding all the feature weapons, vehicles and other carnage.
Forge Matchmaking - uploading Forge Maps that are optimized and pass design testing and play custom matches. Match preset by standard matchmaking.
Sniper/Tank Based Levels - Levels that mean something when you have a sniper versus a DMR/Carbine/etc. and are heavily balanced.
