Chief has fought on land, air, and space. I want Halo 5 to feature all these, but more…
343i please at water battles (fighting on boats), also add swimming, that will innovate Halo’s FPS mechanics! ( video of scraped official Bungie Halo 3 watercraft https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5tJfoR8nq)
Secondly add under water battles! let us use a submarine vehicle! Also let us use the spear gun under water (scraped spear gun from Halo CE)
This will make Halo 5 feel fresh and fun 
One faction using boats in the Halo universe is basically like saying “Hey! Come bomb/glass me! I’m just a sitting duck with crap maneuverability compared to startships!” Seriously, if you’re able to mass produce starships, making boats for combat makes absolutely no sense.
I have a feeling you may be disappointed
I don’t think the Chief is built for water.

When he fell in the water after killing regret, and got caught by the grave mind’s tendrils he lived

He can’t float

Gameplay first, storytelling second. Water combat could be rad.

That sounds incredibly forced.
I’d argue the fact that it hasn’t been implemented before says something about how well it works.
We have Hornets, Pelicans, Phantoms, and Banshees, all of which can travel across bodies of water with ease. Instead of boats, Forerunner gondolas were used in Halo 2 for carrying entire squads across bodies of water in the instance you couldn’t use an aircraft.
Why force something into Halo 5, (because let’s be honest we are forcing this) that Halo never needed, successfully implemented, and will never simulate better than other games? Don’t you think that’s the reason it wasn’t added to Halo 3 or Halo Reach?
How about, instead of making Halo an ‘everything simulator’ we focus on perfecting what Halo’s gameplay does well? Like controls, intelligent A.I. opponents, campaign replayability, sandbox elements, open-world elements, armor customization, Forge, etc.
I’m not opposed to the chief being able to go under water but how the hell is the oxygen supply going to work?
What button are you going to use to swim to the top to replenish oxygen levels WHILE you are using the other buttons (and fingers) to fight an opponent underwater.
Boat battles aren’t overly entertaining…GTA is a prime example of that - only good thing is you have the option to speed anywhere you want but manoeuvrability is awkward at best.
HOVERcraft that can you be used both on land and on water is the only chance I can see of you getting anything near a vehicle water fight.
