I recently read an article on gamespot saying that 343 is staffing up for some new potential new Halo projects. As the studio is pretty keen on listening to what the fans want, I thought it would be cool to make a thread where we could throw out some ideas of what we, the fans, would like to see as side projects.
For me, a follow up to ODST is the first thing that comes to mind. Whether it be a prequel, sequel or a companion to the Reclaimer trilogy the way the original ODST was a companion to Halo 2/3, the helljumpers are ripe for a fantastic gaming experience (and it would also be pretty cool to get Nathan Fillion back as Buck). However I think it would be really cool if the next ODST differentiated itself from the other halo games even further than the original. If it were a third person shooter with squad elements, but still ultimately “felt” like Halo, I think that’d be pretty awesome.
Another great idea would be to set it during the insurrection and have it be the first Halo game to feature a human vs. human conflict- but look at both sides in a way that makes them seem like actual human beings. The books do a great job of making the reader sit and think about whether they agree with the UNSC or the colonies and I think if that were explored in a game, it’d give players who don’t read the expanded universe a good look at how wonderful and complex the Halo universe is beyond the obvious “man vs. aliens” setup that most people assume it is.
Anyone else have thoughts on Halo games that could happen outside of the Reclaimer trilogy?
I don’t know about you guys, but the a guy in the ‘Elites in halo trilogy multiplayer’ thread suggested an ODST type of game but focusing on an elites (Possibly a zealot squad) (Think of the first Arbiter mission in Halo 2 and the Zealot team encountered in Halo Reach). I think it would be pretty interesting to see a more indepth experience with elites with a full game (As small as it might be) and it should really fill a gap that is otherwise largely unfilled in this new trilogy.
I think a sequel to ODST would be awesome, any side story would be awesome in my book!
But one I would really want, is a game focusing on Gray Team and make it a behind enemy lines type game, maybe like a mixture of Metal Gear Solid/Halo, I think it would make an awesome side story if they did it right. Maybe they could have it as a side trilogy to release on years there’s not a main Halo game!
Halo: Battlefront
UNSC Commando, featuring Blue Team
Some ideas:
Halo 2 HD
Halo: ODST 2
Halo: Arbiter
I’m all for the Firefly ODST team returning.
Halo Dance Wars.
I just saw that Star War Kinect has Star Wars characters in a dancing game that is one of the greatest things i’ve ever seen. We need to see Spartans, Grunts, and Elites dancing.
<mark>Halo First Contact</mark>: A FPS game about the beginning of the human covenant war would be pretty awesome. Really focus on the brutality of not knowing what the hell is going on. I think there is some potential for some great storytelling, through ODST’s or even Regular Marines, I wouldn’t mind if a Spartan or 2 showed up in some MK-IV .
And of course what everyone else wants
Halo 2 HD or Anniversary + terminals
ODST 2: maybe seeing them transition into spartan 4’s
Halo Wars 2: I liked it and would love a squeal.
More books and Comics !
Halo, dedicated PC RTS. Company of Heroes styled or Star Wars:Empire at War/FoC with Space and land battles, planetary control, resoures etc.
With Five factions. Original game or by Expansion.
The UNSC
The Covenant
The Flood
Expansion: Forerunners and Ancient Humanity + Flood skins/variants.
A big game with lots of animations, voice-acting and overall allowing you to reenact famous or critical moments in the Halo history, etc, all that awesomess. What Halo Wars should´ve been.
Other then that, more Covenant, Sangheilei stuff.
Halo 5 should be the Halo 2 of the new trilogy, but I doubt 343 have the quad for it, thus gief a spinoff game with focus on the Arbiter. Much how ODST was an attempt at something different.
I would love to see the elites side. Either at the beginning of the human/ covie war or maybe the civil war back on their home planet after halo 3. You could be a small fleet heading back to the elite home world fighting as the arbiter or high ranking elite by his side.
This belongs in the general discussion section of the forums.

The Sangheili community has been wanting a halo game (or Halo 4 DLC) similar to halo 3 odst but as a Zealot team.
> Halo: Battlefront
> UNSC Commando, featuring Blue Team
Perhaps name then Halo: Frontlines and Blue Team in order to avoid violating copyright, but I would also love these games. The need to work in a team would be a great element to the campaign of Blue Team, especially if your allies are not invincible and can be downed. A Halo Battlefront game would be amazing, I would definitely pick that up.
I would love to see a Halo game set solely in space and space stations. It could be an extension to the current main Halo game and introduce space battles into the multiplayer of that game. The campaign could have everything from dogfights, to boarding enemy vessels, to defending stations, to participating in large scale space battles! It could feature the Broadsword, Longsword, and an upgraded Booster Frame.
I would also love to see a game where we play through Stacker’s career. Since he’s a marine it could have more potential to feature larger battles, plus, who wouldn’t love playing alongside Chief as he takes downs everything from Wraiths to Scarabs?
I’d love to see a game that focuses on a marine or ODST squad throughout part of the war. It could be a squad based tactical shooter rather than a traditional fps that takes place over the course over several major engagements.
A game that takes place during the insurrection would be perfect for squad based combat and could explore an interesting and morally complex time in the UNSC’s history.
An FPS from the Covenant side of things would be pretty sweet as well.
And of course Halo: ODST 2 would be awesome.
Basically I think I’d rather like a game that is from the perspective of someone other than a Spartan.

Same, and I’ve said it a thousand times now but I’d say an ODST-ish game from the perspective of a Zealot team would be a very good area to put one in since they haven’t done anything like that so far except for a handful of missions in H2 where as ODSTs have already gotten their own game (Albeit it could have been a bit better) whereas the Covenant haven’t.

Something like this would be cool. Maybe some elite squad working for Arby in that civil war on sangheillios, or some ops against the brutes.
Two ideas:
One, what everyone’s been saying; an Arby game. Maybe one where he’s trying to keep the lid on the pot on Sanghelios? That could also have some potential to add political strategy to it, too.
Two, a Forerunner game. One in the closing months of the Forerunner-Flood war, leading up to the firing of the Halo Array.
I would love to see an RTS that spans over the course of the Human-Forerunner and the Forerunner-Flood wars.
Halo 2 Anniversary. That game’s campaign with Halo 4’s Graphics engine would be amazing. Halo Wars 2 would also be pretty fantastic but if they don’t make one, I would at least hope they explain what happened to the Spirit of Fire in either Novel Form or maybe in a future Halo game. Imagine if Professor Anders teamed up with Halsey again to work on Requiem related activities.
i would like to see
-
a prequel to odst or sequel
-
a spartan chronicle type showing different spartan classes do there thing like the begging of ghost of onxy with the spartan 3
3.halo wars 2 that has so much potential
- pretty much anything book related
