To me, the gameplay in halo 5 wasn’t the best. Here is a list on how I think it should be improved.
Remove the Spartan squads- yes it was cool to see blue team in action and to command them around. I’m not saying remove them entirely, but add missions where you are just the master chief with no one to watch your back. It really limits what kind of missions you can do which leads me to my next point…
More levels like the beginning of mission 13- one of my favorite moments in halo 5’s campaign was scaling the guardian. You would just run, jump, and shoot. With only one Spartan, there could be stealth missions, missions like the time you had to jump off the bridge to board the scarab, or missions that make you crap your pants because you’re so scared (halo 3: Cortana). The possibilities are almost endless and the Spartan squads limit that variety.
Make the levels feel less like a video game- in halo 5, the missions felt designed like a video game. It was take a path with enemies on it or take some side tunnels/passageways and get a better weapon, but still get to the same place. Then come into a big room with lots of weapons, and prepare to face a couple waves of enemies. It was just this but repeated with a few vehicle sequences thrown in. In games like halo 2, you actually felt that you were defending New Mombassa and taking the tank across the bridge and into the tunnels. It felt nothing like a video game to me, but like an actual city.
The levels need to be longer/ have more levels- halo 5 was pretty short and a lot of people were mad about that. What I think would extend the campaign by at least a half hour is not telling us where to go. In the other campaigns, sometimes we would get lost and had to search for a while a way to get back into the action. In halo 5, whenever we were lost, we’d just press the D-pad and see where we had to go. If they keep the non-combat missions in (which I’m kind of 50/50 on), their should be at least 5 more missions.
Thanks for reading! If you have any other ideas or disagree with some of my list, post it so we can make halo 6 the best campaign yet.
