Halo Infinite suggestions/ wishes/ why nots

Games Halo Infinite
1

To have it said, as much as possible AS an OPTION.
Have anything that could otherwise divide the fan base as an option if possible ( really, worth it in the long run ). In the settings, playlist options and whatever. +++
If not at launch, at least afterwards. Nothing is impossible as long as you got the resources. And implement, eventually balance it step by step inside a reasonalble timeframe, heck have us fans help you out. Aka flighting, betaing and so on.

Now, grab a snack or drink if you so wishes and unto my suggestions/ wishes…

1: HUD options: Want it more looking like reach, halo 3? Even just have it Infinite default? I know I want it to kinda look like Halo 4, but with health bar. I like the borders of the helmets for immersion. Even Halo SPV makes it work great! Adjustable HUD colors, with or without HUD helmet frames, HUD lines etc…

2: ANY type of looks of species and races could be canonized, lorified, explained to make any fan happy. The looks of Halo 2A elites and Halo 3 Elites are similar but phenotypes of each other, while a different sub species of the Halo Wars 1, bulky/ slim waisted ones, the agile Reach elites and the Halo 4/5 Elites. Phenotypes and sub species folks! The Kig Yars Jackals with Ruuthian and ibe’Shan sub species and the Skirmishers T’voan are great examples! Build upon THAT.

3: As above same thing for weapons and vehicles, new weapons shouldnt replace old ones. But add to the pool of destruction. Balance comes second, at least for Campaign ( somewhat ) and Forge/ Custom games. New and old weapons and their variations ( with different attachments, fire modes etc ) can steadly trickle into the Multiplayer both casual and competive at a steady pace sicne BALANCE is of utmost importance in multiplayer, besides power weapon gameplay modes etc.

4: Sprint, grapple, slide. Core features of waht a Spartan can really perform. Totally fine with that in Campaign. Even have SKULLS either separate for each movement or a combined one that disable it for a “pure, calssic, trilogy” experience. Hope you got enough vehicles around in Campaign though… Same could be for the grapple shot if possible. In Custom games/ Forge it all shsould be toggable. In Multiplayer. They all should be OFF by default but along with power weapons and power ups, these armor/ movement abilities should be map controlled pick ups. BUT in certain playlists modes for moth Casual/ MVP/ competive they could be ON by default. Justy make sure the maps are built around BOTH non advanced movements and not.

5: Options to have LEFT/ WEST handed player options is a high wish for me aswell. Yes possible more to animate. But there are a huge amount of left handed, both-handed folks in the world, at least in the western parts. DONT forget South-Paw in the settings menu. As a bonus add LEFT handed enemies, such as the Yan mee drones and Kig yar jackals used to have in the Halo games pre - Reach. I was very disappointed seeing the Jackals right handed. Make at least the Kig Yar enemies in Infinite adaptable i nusing both hands ( not ambidexterous, dexterous is a latin word for another " right " ). Im seeing the shields have notches on BOTH sides of their shields, so kinda glad left handed kig yars arent extinct… Again Left and even if time, Center ( aka DooM, not a priority though ) placed FPS perspective on where your hands are mainly adds OPTION and even be IMMERSIVE, please 343… Becasue I see no point i nusing LEFT hand control layout when my weapons are on the RIGHT side of the HUD/ screen… Talk about cross handed playing… Crossing fingers.

6: I think they should make a mix of coatings and armor color channels, primary, secondary, tertiary.You get a coating. WITH the shown colors and details included. BUT. You could change those colors with what colors you want. From other coatings you own as well? Possibly, without having that particular cooating lose its uniqness. Then " hayabusa " coatings with added accessories comes to mind.
You only buy the framewrok, well… coating as microtransaction.
If the coating is a cople digits more expensive than 5$ then there should be a good, GOOD reasons as part of a pack of coatings or due to contribution to charity, a good cause. That is totally fine IMO.

7: Make some epic, twisty, grandiose revelations. Regarding that the jiralhanae, sangheili, well any species including the no knowing parts of humanity get explained to. Why us humans are compatible with forerunner tech, why the prophets wanted humanity dead, the ancient history of humanity, forerunner, the flood, how we humans was taller, stronger, wiser but got devolved due to a massive misunderstanding due to Ancient humanity preglassing Flood infected, forerunner worlds. And that we were on the run, not trying to conquer the Forerunners and so on. Not to forget the explanation of gaeas, the Librarian implanted into humanity, the Janus key future us and so on, the future evolution of humanity to return to former self as Ancient humanity were.
I want us to ally with the Banished to stop the Flood, Created and any other threat. Say, the Banished agrees and help us struggling humans along with Sword of Sangheilios and Thel Vadam and in return, after generations and IF we humans take the Mantle of responsibility let the other species of the galaxy get a fair seat on some sort of galaxy council as a huge thanks. Something along those lines.
If not… I hope for some kind of Outer colony uprising with being integrated into the Banished. The outer colonies/ insurectionists swear to the banished as PAYBACK of the mishandling and revenge the UNSC gave the Outer colonies. In return the Outer coloni forces help and join the Banished in getting what they lost/ deserved. Now I hope this if at all being a reality, wont be a black/ white, " ooooh, the Banished are evil, the outer colonies are evil" BS. NO. Its out of necessity, hurt feelings, payback, fear and anger. The feeling of being forgotten and powerless. And there, the Banished can help.

Imagine Outer colony soldiers of the more gruff, badass kind. Sitting in the halls of the Banished, feasting and having a joyful good time after raiding some UNSC base? i would be there. Hope the Jiralhanae and other loves some mead and roasted steak, hah!

JUST, please 343 if taking notes of this for future use ( one can dream ) or of course whatever you have cooked up. Dont over exposite story elements. Make exposition, shown, done in a very well-baked and handled matter or it might turn too tedious, too much or even too little and fall flat on its face.

You made it through my headbanging wishstorm? Congrats. Now these are my opinions ( hopefully any of you share it, still ). Im a free thinker, thinking I can find explanations, additions and solutions to everything so excuse my rambling, hah!

Man I know I’m going to get flamed for this.
But I want a halo battle royal. Imagine drop podding onto the ring with like 99 other players. And it actually showed you falling (halo ODST style).

To be honest. I think Halo should focus on Halos take on multiplayer modes. Big team battles, arenas, Grifball, Infection ( spartan/ elite/ brute models with set color & effect )/ Flood ( unique flood infected spartan/ elite/ brute models and sounds, hud ) and all the others.
Im not totally against BR. Im just a bit fearful it will overshadow and wipe off the other modes due to a possible massive influx of younger audience who might have never played Halo from CE to HW 2 and knows lore, the gameplay and such.
Just coming in, " oh new sci fi battle royale game, free to play, oh COSMETICS " bring on the gatorade, monster and doritos sigh
And this audience alredy have gotten possible tired of Fortnite and Cod warzone or just mix it up.

I want Halo to stay unique and if BR are in, make SURE the Campaign and the other MP modes stay well above relevance and uniqness.

Regarding a BR mode in H: I. I hope we can pick UNSC vs Banished or maybe possibly other factions vs each other. Created vs Banished, UNSC vs Created. 2 x Factions vs Flood. Heck bring in the Sword of Sanghelios too.

Just to relink what you mentioned with my topic here.
I hope that we can say, as UNSC we can choose between Marine, ODST, Spartans. Each unique and relevant. No bad choice. I guess loadouts fits well and class roles.
For a UNSC/ Sword of Sanghelios mix. LET us play as Grunts, Jackals, Elites, even allied Brutes. Same kinda for the Banished, just reverse.

Imagine being a Grunt medic… Just give that a tought… Running your little feets of to aid a fallen Spartan…
Or a stealth Ruuthian Jackal, maybe a front line Ibe’shan Jackal or maybe a hit and run, very agile T’voan Skirmisher!

I just wish that halo infinite would give the players in co op would be able to customize their own spartan while playing as your own spartan.

I think a lot AS AN OPTION is good. People are complaining about the hitmarker, but some people really like it, so have it changeable in settings. People don’t like how the new Sidekick looks? Have an option for a weapon skin for each different Magnum. Choices really matter in games, it makes the game accessible to the most amount of players, while having each unrestricted by controls.

The sidekick is not a magnum.

I know. But it’s a pistol. So we should have a skin for the CE Magnum, the Magnum from 2 etc for it so people can make it look like one

You make a good point… Came to think about it. Its coop, in Campaign I presume. Sooo what character ( s/ if up to 4 ) are gonna be playable??
Or will co-op in Campaign be played in a different perspective on the ring by other spartans/ even elites, while taking orders from John/ MC and say, the Arbiter/ Thel Vadam themself? In that case, yeah customizing our own Spartan, even Elites would be really cool. As long as we get insight in the main story plots, interwoven. Could work, who knows what they have cooked up at 343.
Maybe coop as the whole of Blue Team ( hopefully meeting Red Team with Jerome, ALice and Douglas, just as strong and badass as Blue, lack a 4th member though )

Otherwise. I DONT, note 343. I DONT want. Master Chief CLONES in coop campaign. That breaks immersion, lore, canon etc and throws it off the ring ASAP.

@ WackyCranby

Totally agree. Options. I wish we could turn off the “ping/ zing” hit marker sound aswell as the visual hitmarker popping up around the crosshair.
I kinda understand it being there in MP, since those sounds and visuals is MADE for satisfactory… hmm dopamin triggering or what.
In Campaign its completely unnessecary.
But yeah. Options in the settings menu to turn it it off.

Even though I like the Idea of of togglable movement mechanics, I cannot see 343 doing it. It created a massive headache for level designers and controller configuration. The game will feel strange and inconsistent between campaign, customs and multiplayer. I do like the abilities being map pick ups and if I’m not mistaken 343 have stated that they will be. As far as designing maps for both advanced and classical movement; I don’t know if that’s possible. They’ll have to be tailored to one or the other, I.E. compare the Halo 5 maps to the Halo 3 maps, notice how stretched the Halo 5 maps are and how tiny Spartans look on those maps? That’s to compensate for the advanced movement, Halo 3’s maps are noticeably smaller in comparison because there’s no sprint, slide or thruster pack.

Since Halo Infinite is free to play and is going to have a lot of new players, I would love that players who have played every Halo game or have atleast 10k gamerscore in Halo games would get something unique for Halo Infinite like armor, coatings, weapon skins or emblem. I know that those who are 152 level on H5G are getting some emblem or something but i would like something else too. I’m 146 level in Halo 5 but honestly the grind is just too much. :frowning: I’ve been playing Halo since I was a kid (I’m 24 now) and would love to see some cool reward for being a long time Halo player.

if Infinite could cook my pizza for me that would be cool 343i please do it /s

in all seriousness Battle royal for sure

Very true i was also thinking about like 343 giving us an option to create our own backstories for our custom spartans i mean would it be cool if that happened?

I want Infinite to just have a balanced matchmaking system with a plethora of ranked playlists.
