Just gonna jam how I would fix Halo and see what you guys think:
-
1 $40 DLC released every year. An $80 version would exist, and include all 4 seasons.
-
4 $10 seasons released quarterly. The seasons would grant access to a non-linear armory similar to how Halo Reach’s armory was, if not identical. It would be 10X easier to rank up, comparatively, however.
-
Microtransactions have got to go. No more spending money on armor, no more spending money to rank up, no more paywalls… Well, for the base armory anyway. Let me explain.
-
Advertisement coatings: Wanna run around as a Coke can? Just spend a good less than $5 and you’ll get yourself an advertisement armor, weapons, and vehicle coating! These are the only microtransactions that I will support. You could also support your favorite HCS team. If you do, no matter how big or small, you’ll walk away with an emblem to show that you care.
-
MLG sandbox has got to go. I was against it in the first place and am still against it now. Don’t get me wrong, I would never remove it, but I would corner it into the MLG playlist. The old sandbox would return, including the Shotgun, SMG, DMR, and even some (if not all) of the promethean weapons. Buffs and nerfs would be issued to weapons of issue, such as in my opinion, the Battle Rifle. It just isn’t right. It feels slower. Whatever it is they changed between 5 and infinite it needs to change back.
This is just a small bit of what I have in mind, so let me know how I did. I also wanna see what you all think of a few stories to kind of mold how the DLCs should look:
Snowbound - The Covenant attack a UNSC weapons manufacturing plant on Sidewinder, those in charge are dead, and what’s left are scrambling to survive. Witness Halo like never before as you wreak havok through the eyes of Sergeant Marshall and show the Covenant what a single marine is truly capable of.
Excavation - Ever wonder what they were looking for in the Halo 3 multiplayer map Sandtrap?
Corrupter - How much damage can a single infected Spartan do? The real question is “Do we have any nukes?”
The campaign DLCs would not have to be on Zeta Halo or even include Master Chief. As long as they’re entertaining, I don’t care.
