Halo's community needs

Games Halo 5: Guardians

We as the community should have a huge impact on what we would like in the next Halo game. Without us, 343 would have no business. we are the comunity, let’s talk about what we want and need in the next Halo;

Here are mine, post yours too;

#1. Elites. Customizable Elites that are separate from customizable Spartans. read this thread for that. this is something we need in the next Halo, i get bored always playing as a spartan!

#2. Space battles anyone? I was totally looking forward to this in Reach until they told us they wouldn’t add it. Now we have new software, the pssiblities are ENDLESS

#3. FIREFIGHT. Forge your own firefight map, classic, etc. Please. Spartan ops was fun, but not as fun as firefight. Please, there might be another reason to keep playing Halo. refer to this thread for FF;

#4. Better armor. Halo 4’s armor was okay, but it was, at the same times, really stupid. How about a Halo reach and Halo 4 hybrid? 4’s armor looks plastic, and Reach’s look more realistic. I’d love some slick, mean looking armor.

#5. Unlockables. If you remember, Halo 4 was supposed to have some armor that was unlocked by achievements… well, that was partially true. Mark 6 was unlocked when beating the campaign, that ws about it… I liked Halo 3’s achievements when you unlocked armor, and the commendations in Halo 4 were okay too, but that was the main way of unlocking most good sets of armor (which were mainly skins)

I have left a few things out to let the community talk. Let’s here your ideas too… keep this alive AND the threads i’ve linked here. Just keep it clean. Read it, understand it, then post.

I’d also say better customisation when it comes to armour as halo 4 has loads to choose from and most I’ll never wear. They should focus more on what you can customise.

Possible examples: (Along with: Helmet/Visor/Shoulders/Torso/Forearms/Legs)

  • Arms (between shoulder and Forearms)
  • Attachments for Helmets
  • Attachments for Arms (perhaps knife?)
  • Attachments for Torso (perhaps Cloth?
  • Tac-pads return along with wrists?
  • Attachments for legs

For me (multiplayer wise)…

Equal starts
+
Map control
+
Balanced weapons
+
A ranked and social divide
+
Lots of good quality maps at launch
+
A good variety and balance of map sizes, symmetric/asymmetric etc.
+
In game visible ranking system to be viewed in ranked playlists
+
A mix of old and new weapons that each have their own individual purpose
+
Lots of playlists at launch (including new playlists that allow for more players than we have had before)
+
Old and new vehicles of varying purposes/designs. All good quality and balanced.
+
Customization options that DON’T negatively effect gameplay, such as skins for weapons
+
Innovations that DON’T hurt the gameplay, such as dynamic weather
+
At least slightly improved graphics/physics
+
An overhaul of the AA’s and to have them placed on maps, as opposed to starting with them
+
No sprint - for the positive effects on movement and everything else
+
No join in progress
+
Space battles
+
Boats to use on maps that have water on them (perhaps the larger big team maps could have this new feature)
+
Race gametype in matchmaking with some default forged race maps made by 343, and with community made race maps
+
True innovations that I couldn’t think of myself, which work with the core of Halo, rater than hurting it

A Halo 5 that I would love to pieces and play ALL THE TIME

I want to be blown away, and this list is how that could be done.

I want a lot of what was said above, but something I feel is very important is a knife slot on our spartans.I mean, what is this?? If you look closely, you see the knife magically appear/disappear to and fro the player’s wrist. One thing I sure as heck don’t want to see in the next Halo is a flipping pixie-knife.

I personally would like the return to what made Forge World so great. I’m not saying I want the exact space back, but rather the choices it brought us. I remember playing alot of crazy maps and game types in reach such as soccer, hockey, bumper hogs and others. I would love for these ideas to be supported in the new Halo as well as maybe the return of Headhunter? Head hunter made soccer possible if I remember correctly. As for the MP it needs to ship with more maps. Halo got stale very quickly because the lack of maps in the rotation. Use forge to build maps people ask for and add them into the playlist( Pit, blood gulch, etc) so it keeps things interesting. For the REALLY fun classic maps maybe give us a good old remake map pack as im sure the community won’t find. Maybe make a poll and see what the type 3 voted maps are and build a community map pack off of that.

You’re talking about putting a seathe on a spartan for the knife like in Reach right?

YES. I HATE HOW THE KNIFE IS JUST MAGIC, IT’S limited
