Hey all. I’ve been playing some Halo 5, the Master Chief Collection as well as Halo Reach and ODST and I got thinking…
For Halo 6 I think there are some super simple things that can be added/fixed to make it perhaps one of the best Halo games ever.
- Bring back spilt screen co-op (which is confirmed huzzah!)
- I would love the campaign to be the longest ever by a good bit. Just lots of missions great cutscenes etc.
- I think this is the most important out of all of them. Take armor out of req packs! I like warzone and the req pack idea but here’s what I was thinking. Say we have 300 armor sets. 230 of them should be available via leveling up which unlocks it and then buying it (much like Halo Reach). 40 of the armor sets are by completing achievements and certain specialized commendations (like getting master chiefs armor will be completing campaign on legendary etc etc). Then 30 you could put in the Req packs as “chase” armor sets, I do enjoy the I hope I get this will clicking a button, just not when ALL of them are in there. Do something similar with assassinations, visors, and stances.
- I think emblems should be mostly available to us at the start and maybe have yo unlock certain backgrounds and foregrounds as we level up.
- For the story have it center on Master chief more (which is confirmed as well). I feel like Halo 5 Guardians had a decent story, I liked it. There was a nice cliffhanger (which I felt was to short I think the campaign needed like 9 more missions) and it sets a nice stage for Halo 6, just make it pivotal. Make sure the audience has that obligation to do something (like fighting the flood felt like a duty). Chasing Chief around as Locke felt a little mushy. I really hope you guys have got some amazing writers going at it!
- I do like the decision to not show off Halo 6 at E3 this year… take the time you need. I would prefer to wait extra for a game that will drop my jaw and become an instant halo classic.
- I also think there should be a feature to change the color of your under-suit (should be very minimal of course).
- A weathering effect would be amazing, in stead of being shiny 24/7 it would be nice if we could add a weathering or like a gray or black wash over our spartans (I think that would be sick!)
- This is more of a side note but I would really like as you are playing multiplayer if you step in dirt or mud the spartans boots get dirty and what not, same applies for vehicles.
- This is so personal but I would absolutely love it if you brought back named ranks with cool insignias. I adored that in Halo Reach, makes leveling up a bit more fun!
- Halo Wars 2 events must also be intertwined with Halo 6. Red team, Spirit of Fire, Atriox, perhaps the new flood, should all be in Halo 6.
- Add a Falcon like vehicle, one where we can take multiple passengers with.
- I would love it if we could pilot fast air vehicles in a air supremacy game mode. Like broadswords v seraphs or something.
- Weapon skins can stay mostly in the req packs but some can be earned through leveling up and what not.
These are just some of my basic ideas (surface ideas if you will) not really technical ones as they would take me too long to write out. Let me know your thoughts below!
