Halo infinite needs to have something that keeps us coming back.
-
The ranking/Leveling
i enjoyed the systems halo 3 and reach had. I loved reaching a certain level or rank and having a logo that went along with the rank/level I achieved. Made me grind more so I could someday have that cool inheritor or general rank that I could show off to my friends or people in matchmaking that made them go “Wow he’s that rank/level” it’s been just numbers and it’s plain and boring.
-
Keep Custom browser
custom browser is a godlike feature. It allows us to find or host games within the community. Imagine if halo 3 and halo reach had a custom browser?
-
Matchmaking
this is a obvious one but matchmaking needs to be bigger and better somehow. The whole point is to improve from what halo 5 has and make it even better and with more variety. Duh
-
The Story
343 needs to really tell a good story here. What I personally enjoyed the most about halo reach and halo 3 was the emotion I felt. They told such good stories and had amazing soundtracks. I replayed them over and over where as halo 5 I played it once and moved on.

Forge
343 needs to really go all out with this. We obviously have to be cautious of things that could break the game, but they need to let go of some of the restrictions. How long has the community been asking for flyable Pelicans now?

Getting Armor
i have a hate/love relationship with this new system every developer for a video game is doing with loot boxes. It’s good but it’s just boring and annoying especially when you open a loot box 50 times and still don’t get what you want. If armors had requirements makes things better. I know what I want, I know what I have to do to go and get it, I know what the grind is going to be like to achieve it. I’m 50/50 on the loot boxes
if this is going to be the final halo 343 needs to go out with a bang. “We’re in the endgame now”
anyone else have anymore ideas?

Since forever? Lol. Agreed. Flyable pelicans would be great in custom game modes. 343 can’t say It’s impossible.
However, they can ignore us.
Does 343 actually view the forums, or is it just for discussions and not for actual input?

I feel like they don’t read anything, for years the community has been requesting things and fixes and there’s no answer. Like why everytime a custom game ends majority of the lobby gets stuck on a frozen screen, why can’t I connect to certain, open lobbies within the custom browser? Now how long has the game been out? But that’s for a different forum discussion that they probably won’t address lol.

They absolutely do read the forums, and other sources of discussion, every day, but that doesn’t mean they can or will act on everything that the community asks for. They need to take into account the opinions of thousands of fans, who quite often can have vastly opposing opinions on things. Not an easy task
I agree the Halo 3 and Reach ranking and earning systems were amazing. I am very excited for Infinite, but I doubt I will see myself playing it for a long time like I did Reach, and 3 if they have clamber, thrusters, and the bad map design.

You’re wrong, they do read the forums, at least you get that feeling when you see monitors and community leaders all over the popular posts.
Well no doubt Halo Infinite needs to knock it out of the park (something 343 has yet to do). In order to do that I think it is going to need a little bit more than the features yo suggested. Then again I posted a rather controversial post about the next Halo game being more than just the sequel to H5 that has met a lot of criticism. Well enough about that lets go over you points.
- Well I do like the H3 split leveling system, I never like Ranked playlists (got standbyed more than one too many times on H2) so I focus my grind on the unranked matches and even got Master Sergeant. I’ll jsut say you see more Staff Captains than Master Sergeants. - I did wish Reach had a custom browser, granted the matchmaking selection with voting on which map and mode was the best but the only way to explore custom games was to have friends in a lobby and most of the time they just wanted to do matchmaking. - I think Reach had the best voting system for matchmaking. But different people want to try different things, some want the 4v4 ultra-esport deathmatches, others want those spectacle battles with tanks and aircraft and as many players as you can fit in a CTF game. I am more of the latter. - Story is difficult as H5 has left Halo in the same place Episode 8 has left $tar War$. But I would also like to explore other aspects of the Halo story as well, maybe even play as a Brute fighting the flood or some other monstrosities sent by the Precourser to consume all life. There is still plenty of exploration to do, and to be honest we don’t need to follow all of the EU canon since most of it is rather messy. Contrary to popular belief, the Fall of Reach had quite a few inconsistencies with the start of the 1st game. - Absolutely, but as for forge right now we got a multiplayer map creator, I would like a campaign map creator/editor. Only instead of building all of your maps from scratch, perhaps we could have some of the Spartan Opps maps and other forge world sized maps and then add in everything from there to a massive invasion map, or a a custom campaign with enemy and ally NPC spawns. As for NPCs I think pelicans and Phantoms would be better as an NPC trigger even for spawns and reinforcements and other mission or map feature points. Heck maybe even add in Longsword and Seraph bombing runs like what was shown in the H2 demo at E3 back in 2003. I do think the Spirits would be a good medium transport for the covenant. - Well for armor lets face it Req packs are awful (and even worse as they made your weapons and vehicles better so they were pay2win). I do believe Halo Infinite is going to need a system which allows for reoccurring revenue, I just don’t want rare and mythic power items to be hidden away in a paid environment. Also a game play only progression for said power items runs the risk of not letting newer players have a chance. For armor there was a thread on customization you can read about it HERE. Now my reply to that thread made in a lot of assumptions (such as playable Brutes and Promethean Knights), but I wanted to get all the possibilities out there.

What makes you think this is going to be the final Halo ? 343i changed the trilogy to a saga, indicating more Halo games imo. I think Halo Infinite will be a new beginning for the franchise, we have a brand new engine too. I’ll settle for a good story, good multiplayer and a non invasive monetisation system (if there has to be one).

I thought they said halo 6/infinite was going to be the final main story including the chief?

No they had originally intended to do halo’s 4, 5, and 6 as a trilogy, then changed it to a saga (meaning 4 games or more). When this information came out, it was stated that they had “planned the ending for Master Chief” at the end of the saga, or something along those lines, but have since stated this will no longer be the case as they didn’t realize how much Master Chief as a character meant to the halo community until we spoke up about halo 5’s focus on Osiris and Spartan Locke being an issue.
In short, don’t plan on saying goodbye to the Chief any time soon. And, if and when we do say that goodbye, expect it to be because Halo, as a franchise, is ending.

Just to be clear, since when were monitor and community leaders employees for 343? Am I missing something?
I thought it was just a role given to the people who make sure the forums weren’t toxic?

Correct - Monitors and Community Leaders are not 343 employees, only those with the 343 Industries rank for for MSFT.
