So guys, listen. I’m thirsty. Like really thirsty as I am sure many of us are. Browsing the hundreds of youtube videos from the Act Man, Halo Follower, Ultimate Halo, etc as we go through all the wishes, the do’s and the dont’s that 343 needs to nail or avoid. I’m hopeful that they will deliver! (hehe hopeful they deliver? Deliver Hope? E3 2019 Trailer? Yeah I’ll see myself out)
ANYWAYS. Im posting this because I didn’t see this topic really anywhere in the forums which rather surprised me so I thought I’d bring it out and ask!’
What are (but not limited too) 5 things that you want to see in Halo Infinite? What are the must have’s that will make or break the game for you if they don’t appear?
My list:
-
Falcon (and more cooperative vehicles). If we had more cooperative movement with our vehicles… I cant really explain how much more invested I’d be in the game if that were to happen. Examples: Let 4 people ride on the sides of the scorpion tank. Bring back the troop transport warthog and let players sit in the back (so bad*** if you got a squad of 6 players with rocket launchers , and when they all get absolutely obliterated by a tank or Spartan Laser that “Killtrocity” would be so satisfying. More cooperative game play that boost the sense of teamwork = more FUN.
-
Return with the customs browser. Whenever I log into Halo 5, just being able to pick a custom game that I can join with just randoms is really fun. No longer do I need to set it up myself and pray that 15 of my friends won’t be selfish and play their OWN games with their OWN time. Now I can play maps I create or that other create with a full lobby of people! (Also this only builds the Halo Community)
-
A good story. I started with CE on the “OG Xbox with -Yoink- duke controllers” (Feat: The Act Man). The story and lore surrounding Halo is phenomenal and Bungie kicked it out of the park by starting this franchise, 343 as got some ground to cover. Halo 5 focused and relied on people being bookworms to understand anything that was going on. This isn’t good. Give us characters and events that we CARE about. I’m hopeful that 343 (especially with the 2019 E3 trailer) can deliver on this end, just skeptical.
-
Open world (or just less linear levels). MAKE INFINITE FEEL LIKE CE. That first moment when you got out of the drop pod on CE and could really feel how large and vaste the HALO ring was, it was a feeling I’ll never forget. Use this as an example! Ease up DRAMATICALLY on kill barriers and invs blockers by 110%. Let the players explore the world you’ve put them in! Give the player control to play the game how they want to play it. Give an ere of mystery, as there can be so much to learn!
-
Bring back the stuff the worked in previous Halo Games (if you can). Halo CE sense of mystery. Halo 2/3 Playable Elites (or spice it up with playable brutes). Halo 2 Duel Wielding (yeah I know there were a lot of issues with this but I’m bias as Halo 2 is my bae. Don’t @ me). Halo 4 Dominion. The complexity of Halo 5 forge (and add more stuff!). Halo Reach “Invasion” gametype and credit system (Let players EARN the gear they work for dont base it off of luck), etc, etc. Look at the things that worked in previous titles and see if you can implement or improve them (through minor tweaks), and trash what didn’t work (e.i All Halo 5 story and req packs and some smaller stuff in Halo 4 that I cant think of).

I was going to mention to bring Marty O’Donnell back but that is just the nostalgia speaking. Love ya Marty <3. From what I hear in the 2019 trailer for Infinite, I am super happy. Going back to the roots its seems when it comes to the music. Keep it that way 343!
You’re doing great 343, and whatever the outcome, I appreciate the work that you have put into listening to the community and trying to make Halo great again!
Me: What do you want to see in Infinite?
You: Were it so easy…
Stay safe fam!
