Hello Halo fans and hopefully 343, I’ve been wanting to write this for a while but haven’t quite gotten around to it and before I give my suggestions let me just say that I love Halo 5 and this is coming from a long time Halo fan personally I think the multiplayer is the best multiplayer since halo 3! Does this mean Halo 5 is perfect? HELL NO! but I what to give my input/ criticism to 343 so Halo becomes better then before so lets get on with it.
Basically I was going to write a huge letter to justify my points but it would be massive and tedious to read so I’ll give you a basic list with a short answer behind it and if you want me to justify my reasons further just leave a response. Also 343 please if you do read this tell me if this helped in anyway because personally I really don’t think you deserve the amount of hate that you are getting.
Things to do 343!
A classic playlist: A playlist with no new mechanics (thrusters, sprint, ground pound, spartan charge etc) Would be awesome. You could increase the walk speed a tad and have entire new maps unique to classic gameplay.
Playable Elites: Not much to say about this. It is just a staple in the Halo franchise and many people enjoyed playing elites. I don’t even play as an elite but to have the option there would be awesome.
More modes/playlists: Halo 6 needs more permanent playlists. I know that 343 did this because they were scared that the player population was going to drop off real quick but that is pointless for example if someone wants to play shotty/snipers or fiesta let him/her have that option there. Another example is well sometimes I really feel like playing “capture the flag” but I have to go to team arena and I might get strongholds instead. not saying team arena is a bad mode but also have individual mode playlists.
A Balance of Social and Competitive playlists: Nuff said
A better progression/ ranking system: In halo 5 levelling up legitimately does nothing and I don’t feel like I’m rewarded for levelling up this must be fixed in Halo 6 which means taking “customisation items” away from req’s. Even in campaign the progession is weird, like by the third level you’ve seen all the enemy types and the guns?!
-Yoink- Specs: Halo 5 runs at a locked 60fps which is pretty impressive. But no one cares like while it’s cool and all no one bought halo 5 because it ran at 60fps. Becuase of this locked 60fps a lot of things became down-graded. Personally I think it would be good to have 60fps (locked or not for MP) but for campaign I would rather just have a better looking game. Graphics and visuals that take my breath away.
Replay Value: Have something to keep players entertained and coming back for more. Like for example have Daily/weekly challenges to complete with handsome rewards, If you’re worried about player population have double XP/RP weekend. This will definitely keep players coming back to Halo 6 and boost playlist population another way to keep playlists from being abandoned is to have the daily/weekly challenges that link with certain playlists. But above all else just work on keeping Halo 6 full of replay value anything from having a phenomenal campaign, Great multiplayer and challenges, secrets
Release with a finished game: Imagine having free dlc for Halo 6 after it’s launch and it’s a full game. It would be amazing.
Story :D: Without a doubt Halo 5’s campaign was terrible. which confuses me because Halo 4’s story was incredible it also set up an amazing story arc for the halo franchise but I believe that after the backlash from the halo 4 story 343 tried to go back to making a simple story but it didn’t work. 343 you need to find a middle ground between a complex story and a light-hearted story to please the people who enjoyed halo 4’s campaign and those who preferred bungies stories.
More maps/Map voting: Nuff said
Armour customisation/design: Having the ability to customise your own spartan armour and making it unqiue is what I loved about Halo reach’s armoury. Also do you know why the memories of reach armour sets are so -Yoinking!- cool? because they have accessories like ammo pouches, knives, bullets on them (THEY ARE UNIQUE)
Also the armour design. Many of the armours look really -Yoinking!- ugly. A way to fix this is to just imagine a member of the military and could you seen them wearing this armour set to battle for their particular job?
Thank you for reading please leave your opinions down below and 343 please respond!
