Fire whoever is in charge of marketing. There has been some serious problems surrounding Halo 4 and most of them are due to incompetence on the marketing end.
- Specialization codes (Sending late/Not Sending/None for European players/People getting ‘early access’ even though they didn’t reach SR50 by 11/20)
- The Buy and Play Crimson that was never advertized
- Map pack vs Limited Edition Map pack
- Digital version of Forward Unto Dawn instead of DVD in LE
- Confusion between armor sets and armor skins during pre-release.
- Still waiting on any armor being released via marketplace.
Fix Menu Navigation if possible.
Get File Share at least on par with Bungie’s version.
Campaign:
Matchmaking feature should be added like it was in Reach. It was a small touch, but it encouraged players to play the campaign if they had a challenge to complete and didn’t want to jump in by themselves. An option for difficulty should be a voting option at the start of the game for all the players in the lobby. They could search by being able to choose any of the campaign levels, like in Spartan Ops.
War Games:
Certain playlists should have objective and slayer gametypes, like BTB and MLG.
Bring back double exp weekends.
Ammo should be available around the maps for primary weapons. Maybe just an ammo crate for whatever primary weapon you are carrying. Similar to Spartan Ops.
Warthogs and Banshee should be buffed because too many people on maps have power weapons with ordinance drops, or improve ordance drops. Have them happen every 8 kills, or 5 if you get them more frequently. Let us customize our ordance drops to a nade choice, an armor ability choice and a speed boost/damage boost choice. Put power weapons around the map only.
You should rank up faster if you win more, maybe offer a flat 1000 exp if you win, and you lose 1000 exp if you quit. That could encourage players to win and not quit.
Join in Progress needs to be fixed entirely. If you join in a game late, you shouldn’t have that loss, or win count on your service record. Don’t start games without a full lobby.
Allow us to view party details so we don’t join a queue just to find out your friends’ game just started.
Dedicated servers, the franchise has made enough money at this point.
Spartan Ops:
Difficulty should be a voting option at the start of the game for all players in the lobby.
Theater:
This feature seems to suffer with every new Halo game. Theater should be perfected and left alone. You should have direct access to your recent films from the Theater lobby. Allow us to watch any and all recent game play, in campaign, Spartan Ops, customs and matchmaking. Perhaps have a quick option at the end of any game that reminds you to save a film would be nice. At least 4 players should be able to watch a film and/or a film clip together.
Bring back the Community Spotlight and 343 Favorites. Allow us to access files from Waypoint and this website. Have films rendered automatically as part of the upload process. Sharing files made in Theater could be amazing.
What Halo 5 Should Look Like:
Better Maps
More Custom Game/Forge options
Perfect Theater
Better Menu Navigation
Less button pushing in Campaign
Exclusive armor, Can I haz reconz?
Better ranking system (Halo 3ish lol)
Power weapons around the maps
SOME INCENTIVE TO WIN, and not quit (Halo 3ish lol)
