Hey
I like many others am a very huge Halo fan, Halo was one of the first games I ever played and I hold it close to my heart.
I would like to make a few suggestions as to what I believe would be very beneficial to the game as a whole to keep people interested
-
Weapon skins/Challenges- I do think that halo should have a system similar to COD and other games where you get more skins (free) based on a collection of challenges for that gun. For example, you get a skin for 10 kills/25kills/50kills/100kills/500kills and have other challenges that scale and give you skins like 1/5/10/25/50 double kills, etc they don’t all have to be unique skins for each different gun you can set 5 different skins for the 5 levels of each of the challenges. this will give something for people to grind towards and keep playing the game when they run out of weeklies. Speaking of running out of weeklies if you do all your weekly missions there is nothing at all for you to grind towards you get 50xp a game and that daily mission is capped at 40/50 (I’m not sure which one it is I’ve seen people say different things) Don’t cap this some people generally don’t have week after week to play the game. Lots of people work rotation so they get 2 weeks of just work and maybe a week off and that’s their week to grind the game when you cap their progression it feels bad and there is no need for it. You can’t tell me that its because you guys don’t want people to progress too fast when you can legit buy levels of the battle pass

stats, stats, stats. this needs to be a thing people want to see how many stats they have. Most used guns, how many kills with each gun, how many of each medal they have, all this stuff needs to be in the game it adds depth to it it’s super cool and fun to compare that stuff with your friends. People don’t want to use third-party sites all the time. a full in-depth stats sheet will go a long way in terms of keeping the player base

The challenge system and the events. The weekly challenges are fine now in my eyes there’s a lot of them and they scale in difficulty pretty decent they still make you switch your playstyle a nice bit too like “Get kills with the oddball” which turns people from defensive oddball players to psychopaths with the skull looking to swing but that’s whatever. I think you need to add a daily challenge system like Apex Legends. in Apex you get weekly challenges and daily challenges and like the name suggests the daily’s come out each day this gives people a reason to play the game on the daily because right now if you finish weekly challenges why play? this brings me to the event, Don’t limit the event to 7 challenges a week for 7 weeks that’s insanity people will play the game you don’t need to try and reel them in for 6 more weeks let players grind the event and get it done, not everybody will have the time to play in that 6 weeks plus 6 weeks just feels like forever to get something it’s just going to sit there at level 7 then 14 then 21 and 28 and then 30 for a long time. I feel like if you do anything you should do 10 challenges over each week for 4 weeks (3 weeks for the grinders and one week in case somebody missed it) and allow the missions to carry over. let it be an event for the people.

Hidden skins like in previous Halo’s stuff like the Hayabusa or EOD armor need to be in the game that stuff was super cool to have in there because it gave that “This person plays the game” kind of feel and it was fun to work towards
-
Monetization. The monetization in the game is fine, but if you’re going to do it you should make it super cool epic things that warrant the money not basic colorways like plain blue. that kind of stuff should be free or in battle passes or weekly challenge rewards or even just make it super cheap. I feel like it shouldn’t be a cash grab with this game, People will play this game it’s crisp its clean its new, but making stuff like this will make you lose more people it’s just the nature of it
I do want to thank whoever read this. Halo means a lot to me and I would love to see this one stick around and become something great. I know this is still Beta but I don’t want Dec 8th to come and nothing to really change a lot of people just leave the game. This game has the chance to be something huge and I’m all for the ride
Thank you and have a great day
