I mean.
It would be cool right?
They could have sort of a mass effect/no man sky style on space exploration.
Raids could be left behind ships/hidden forerunner structures etc.
You could pick your race.
What do you think classes would be?
UNSC could be something like
Marines “idk”
Odst/Elite “rouge”
Spartan/Hunter “tank”
I’m sure a lot of you have an idea of better class specifications.
I’d like to see everyone else’s ideas.
I love this idea but of course it could be tricky. Who would be the support/healer class? Would it be a certain generation of Spartan with shield generators? Or maybe AI take a more physical role?
There is quite a bit of variety. You could even do a Horde vs. Alliance with UNSC vs. Covenant. With Sangheili being either faction, like the Pandaren.
At any rate character customization would have to be quite varied. No one wants to look like everyone else in the game (as we all know!).
Rumours abound that Halo 6 will be the first Halo with RPG ‘elements’ and possible open world ‘elements’. So maybe Halo 6 is a step in your direction?

It’s certainly possible that H6 will go more in the RPG route, as we have little to no information on game play at this point. However, RPG elements can mean a lot of things. Halo has had some very open maps in the past that allowed for exploration and varied game play, much like an RPG. The second level of CE comes to mind as a good example of this. You could rescue marines in a different order each time and a bit of exploration allows for the acquisition of different weapons, like the sniper rifle you can find in a crashed life boat.
For me personally though, I really don’t like the idea of a mainline Halo game being a wholesale RPG. I would love to see a spin off RPG, but I want the mainline games to remain within the FPS genre.
I think the universe is rich enough they could pull off an MMO, I’d like to see it someday.
The only downside with this idea as presented is that most people when they think of an MMO think of an MMO-RPG which for halo as is, I personally don’t think that will work unless it is done in the perspective of the UNSC marines or maybe covie equivalent since in that perspective you could have the traditional trinity of tank/dps/heal due to different specializations. This of course would mean unless its done post H4 the spartans would be pretty much either exclusive to a select few individuals (likely the devs) or pretty much non existent, if done post H4 though spartan would have to be more of a communal class upgrade keeping what specializations you chose prior. Aside from that point, if it were just done as a MMO-FPS it could work, if handled correctly of course
I Think it probably do something like destiny did and yet still make you feel like an army and/or part of the Halo universe. It definitely would be interesting and I Would definitely try it out!
I came in here to say no, then read the reasons and other peoples input. And i now think its a good idea.
