This is what I think should be done that will make Halo 6 miles better then Halo 5.
First of all don’t rush the game clearly with the lack of content in Halo 5 the game was very rushed I imagine everything we are getting with these free updates till June except the customization was meant to be in the game at launch but 343 didn’t have time to get it all in where it would be balanced.
Ranking System:
I do like how they have tried to make the game more competitive unlike Halo 4 but not everyone wants to have to try hard every game they play which is why I think they need to make the ranking system like Halo 3, Now i’m not saying 1xp every time you win a game. I’m saying that you should have Social playlists and Ranked playlists and in the ranked playlists you make it go from 1 to 50 again and you can have the way you level up now with xp requirements for each level but you make it so to be a 5* General you need to have this much xp and a skill level of 50. Which brings me to the actual level/rank that is shown I really hate just having a number there as my level I think its just lazy, 343 need to bring back the old ranks from Halo 3 and Reach it might only be a little thing but a lot of little things can make a big difference. Also do Double XP weekends pretty much every big FPS game out there does double xp weekends, in halo 3 there was double xp weekends every single week and guess what it brought me back to the game every week like it did with many others. If your desperate to keep req points you can even do double req point weekends.
Req Points:
Personally I don’t like the req point system but I do think there are a few things they could do to it if they are hellbent on keeping it in. Don’t allow people to buy it with real money a lot of people say it is pay to win, if people can’t pay then people can’t really say that. A big thing I miss is seeing someone with an armor set that you know they had to do a lot get like recon in Halo 3, Bungie even had a notice in Halo 3 telling people not to believe anyone telling you they can give you recon for money and so on because Recon was a big deal back then I really want that back where not a lot of people have an armor set but the people that do have it earned it not get lucky with a gold pack, So they could still have some stuff you unlock through the packs but then have some stuff you have to do stuff similar to vidmasters. I think doing double req point weekends would help as well as sometimes I just want to play Arena but you get no req points really for playing Arena.
Spartan Abilities:
I will just say the ones that im fine with being in the next game Clamber, Sprint ( Yes sprint coming from an old Halo player it does need to be in the game this day and age and it is no balanced well), Slide and Smart Scoping I don’t feel these Abilities reward bad play in Halo some may disagree but this is how I feel. Now the ones that shouldn’t be in the next Halo. Spartan Charge rewards you for chasing players which is what you shouldn’t do in Halo so it promotes bad play. Ground and Pound should be removed as it just adds randomness to the game as well as people being able to get out of the map and get in glitch spots. If you use clamber with it you can get to places on certain maps where no player would have a clue you are about to do it them which makes more unbalanced.
Guns:
I think that the gun balance in Halo 5 is one of the best if not the best but I would like some extra guns in there just add a bit more variation but can still keep the balance of the game. Guns like the needle rifle,plasma rifle, spiker, even fire grenades and add some new guns we have never seen this will make the game feel like its got so much more content.
Playlists:
So like I said earlier you have Ranked Playlists and Social Playlists so you can put what you have right now in Halo 5 in the ranked playlist and the social playlist you can even change the names a little bit to make it seem like there is more content. You can also add more playlists like MLG to the ranked playlists and then stuff like Action Sack, Fiesta, Grifball and Living dead to the Social playlists or you could have them come in for the double xp weekends as 343 seem to like doing ‘Rotational Playlists’
Maps:
I think Halo 5 maps are defiantly a step in the right direction compared to Halo 4. Having new symmetrical maps mixed with old maps is a great thing but like earlier i feel like all these free updates are stuff that was meant to be in the game at launch and I did feel like more maps were needed at the launch of Halo 5 and I’m not sure how you do the rotation but at the launch of the game I just constantly played Orion and Pegasus. Also I don’t know why you removed but you really should bring the voting system back so people get more choice of what they want to play. Like I said when I played at launch I kept playing Orion and I hate that map so I just didn’t play the game as much as I would of.
Warzone:
Now i’m not a big fan of warzone and I understand it take a lot to make a warzone map but again the lack of maps for warzone really put me and my friends off playing it if when the Halo 6 comes out you could have 6-8 warzone maps I think it would really help hold peoples attention and keep the games population up.
Sorry for such a long post wasn’t really expected to put this much but I just really want Halo to be the best it can be obviously this is all my opinion and everyone has there own I think the biggest thing is don’t rush Halo 6 and make sure it has a lot of content and don’t release it if its not going to work.
