Dear 343
I know you have a lot of people trying to tell you how to fix the Halo series but I have a few ideas you should take very seriously. First off, you need to add split screen to Halo 5 or at least put it in Halo 6. This is a must as many community members love to play with siblings and friends. Next, put Elites in as playable characters. This is something that so many people want and you continuously ignore it. I have an idea how to implement them without altering the Spartan abilities. Create a classic playlist with no assassinations, Spartan abilities, REQ’s, or anything you have add. Basically just copy and paste Halo 1,2, or 3 Slayer or other game modes. Next, DO NOT ADD SPARTAN ABILITIES to Halo 6. Don’t worry about it messing with the story or Lore, we will just turn our heads for this one. Next, more Chief, less Locke. This really lost a lot of fans when you had so few Chief missions. Don’t mess it up again. Next for Halo 6’s multiplayer, make us earn the armor like in Halo 3. Having Recon was something to be proud of and showed that you were a serious player. Now it just shows you got it from a lucky pack. You can still have REQ’s but only have them release stuff for warzone and nothing permeant, make us earn the skins, armor, and emblems. Also take out sprint, it is not needed in a Halo game, you tried to make Halo appeal to COD players but you never tried to make it appeal to the old fans. Look at the original trilogy and ODST, Wars, and some of Reach. They made it right.(Except when Reach introduced Spartan Abilities, that’s when things went down.) Now for campaign, like I said, less Locke and more Chief and Arbiter. Bring back Chief’s old armor look in the original trilogy. You made him look more bulky, I personally liked him better when he was slimmer, that’s what the Mark V armor is supposed to be. Its called Halo for a reason, have some missions on a Halo ring. We have not played on a ring in Halo 4 and 5. Lets get some Halo levels. Not bulky like that. Now, take your time. Next, bring back the old Elite look and armor. These new ones look non Halo and I think most of the community would like the old ones back. Same with the grunts, jackals, and other races. Bring back old vehicles and weapons like the Plasma Rifle and Hornets and Falcons. Forge you did pretty good on but release it with the game. Now here is one of the most important parts to help the community…FIX FILE SHARING. Make it easy like Halo 3. It was so easy, just click on their gamer tag and download what they have posted to their profile. This would help revive the community and please implement it into Halo 5. NO DLC. Just update it for free or put it in the original game. Trust me, this will cause Halo 6 to have a longer life-span than Halo 4 and 5. Don’t rush and if you need more time push the release date back some. I want a good Halo game, please don’t mess this one up. As of right now, I don’t count Halo 4 and 5 as Halo games, I pretend that the story ended at 3. As for Halo Wars, I’ve played the Beta and its good, make the campaign good. I like the old elites and bringing back the brutes. I hope this new faction (The Banished) appears in Halo 6 and becomes a new main enemy.
Here is a quick summary of Everything I just said.
- Split-Screen
- Playable Elites
3.Old Elite Models
4.Classic Playlist for Halo 5.(Read to get more details) - No Spartan Abilities and Sprint in Halo 6. This is Halo, not COD
- More Chief and Arby, Less Locke in campaign.
7.Earn Armor, Skins, Emblems.(Read for more details)
7.2.REQ’s only unlock stuff for Warzone, nothing permeant.
8.Chiefs Old Armor Look.(This will be controversial but I personally liked the old slimmer look)
9.Bring Back the Old Elite and Other Covenant Races Looks.(Still Controversial) - FIX FILE SHARING!!! Look at the Halo 3 System and Take Notes
11.It’s Called HALO, Have missions on a Halo Ring. - Don’t Cram DLC down our throats, we won’t buy it. Just do Free DLC and the game will have a longer life-span.
- Don’t Rush Halo 6
And if none of this works, just forget Halo 4 and 5 and start over.
Now not all of this is 343’s Fault, the community needs to unite and start playing like we did in the first 3 games. Make friends, talk to each other. Don’t be Toxic and Salty. Start to agree and think of ideas together.
