It’s about time for Halo to be great again. The way this series has been handled both campaign and multiplayer wise is a joke. For Halo to be great again all 343 has to do is look at the past to be successful in the future and improve upon the formula. Here’s the formula to do this.
Give us a campaign worthy of the classic trilogy with an amazing sound track. Everyone remembers the first time they set foot on a Halo ring, took back the city from the Covenant, Chased down regret, Killing Tartarus, Taking back Voi, Landing on the Ark, Three Gates and Killing Truth, and fleeing the Ark. To this day no 343 campaign has even touched a single level in the classic trilogy there design doesn’t match it all. 343 should take note and give us a campaign that has plenty of variety. Give us some levels that are wide open with an exploration feel like Bungie did but use the power of the Xbox to make it even better and improve it. Sharpen up the friendly AI so there better than cannon fodder would be one. Another would be give us massive battles in the campaign in parts of certain levels where you have an army backing you up scorpions,hornets warthogs etc. so you feel this is a massive united front against the enemy.Have a massive Human/Arbiter team versus the Storm Covenant,vs the Prometheans, vs the Flood. Finally give us some comic relief such as an Avery Johnson or a Chips Dubbo. I know Avery is dead but maybe you can create another character like him or maybe he a family member of his or a son and an amazing soundtrack so we can feel more memorized with whats going on.
Multiplayer needs to have all classic game modes at launch no exceptions.Team Slayer,Team Objective,BTB,SWAT,Firefight,Infection,Rumble Pit, Two’s or doubles however you call it. No Req’s or loadouts including armor or sprint. Power ups on maps would be overshield,camo,bubble shield,sprint would be a power up on the map. Custom’s and Forge needs to be ready at launch as well. Add some new weapons and grenade types as well since each Halo does this.
Fix Warzone so there’s no Reqs on it all and make it a pure conquest gametype where you goal is to capture the enemy base and to capture the main base you have to control all other points on the map. All spots on the map that you have to capture have vehicle respawn’s on them so it creates a true battlefield experience MP wise. You could even do push maps where one team is on defense and one is on offense and once the offensive team caps a base on the map the defense can’t recapture it. See a new game mode that wasn’t in classic Halo but pushes the series forward while retaining the classic gameplay.
Add a super BTB mode 16 VS.16 create a few maps for this playlist specifically and for the others do a Battlefield type move where the more players there is the map gets bigger.
Create a firefight where it’s spartan’s vs the flood if you die you join the flood AI as a commander of sorts until last man standing. Do this on small maps and large maps with vehicles.
CO OP Campaign relieve epic moments from the books such as be a marine establishing a base on Alpha Halo, Fight with Avery Johnson as he got the scarab, Fight back against the Covenant on Earth. 2-16 players.
Doing this would drive sales back up to where they should be and make Halo a great series again. Also if you own the MCC add my GT if your into classic Halo
