This is simple, a list of everything we want and don’t want in H5’s MM, give out some new ideas so 343 can improve and add new gameplay instead of regressing like so many of you want, I for one enjoy every Halo multiplayer, even H4’s I think it’s just a bit TOO fast paced if they slowed it down a bit with some new additions I’d be game.
Anyway list away, give 343 some ideas on what they need to improve on.
Rules:
No rants about how much you hate it or how much you hate this or that or how bad it is or how much you hate 343 or think H4 sucks, just leave if you’re comming to do that.
Keep it respectful and clean please, don’t attack other users.
No Boltshot.
Bring back Brute weapons.
Dual wielding.
Bring back the SMG.
Playable Elites, Brutes and Prometheans.
Better looking customizable armors.
The Falcon.
DMR as an ordinance drop.
Firefight.
Invasion.
Want:
-Promethean Vehicles + Weapons
-Gritty Graphics
-Assassinations for more weapons, use more body parts such as feet and classic fighting moves
-A way to fight weaponless
-Classic Playlist
-A mode for space combat
-A mode where everyone fights as a different race (Elites, prometheans)
-Something similar to L4D2’s versus mode. Not really balanced, but you have to work as a team. Humans vs Covenant/Prometheans(Some people might spawn as crawlers, others as watchers, some knights, slighty increased health for fodder enemies)
-More vehicles, maybe some campaign specific
-More interesting weapons, not just reskins.
-More support armor abilities
-Spruce up some things, work on ordinance a bit more.
-12+ hour campaign, remove Spartan Ops
-Give forge monitor a lazer for the hell of it. One for offense and a lazer animation when picking up items that goes away when you move the item for more visibility
-BOSS BATTLES
-Perhaps a more dynamic campaign where our decisions affect the outcome of the game, there will be two separate endings.
-More interesting challenges, a better incentive, keep armor limit small, but unique don’t focus too much on customization, it means nothing in most MP playlists when it’ll be Red vs Blue regardless
-Add in smoke grenades or give two modes to frag. Effect shouldn’t be too drastic
-Option to turn off assasinations
-VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL SENSITIVITIES
-A way to customize vehicles for custom games (Add a flag, change the tint)
-Make the Warthog sound more powerful, and give it a drastic redesign. Increase the horns’ size to look a bit more menacing and make it more effective.
-A way to turn off sprint and put unlimited boost in custom games
-Pelican tricks in campaign, similar to what was seen on Episode 10 of Spops
-Allow custom games in MP as a playlist. Certain customs/mini games will be featured and the goal has to be achieved. Earn significantly less exp
-Hazards on some maps, bring back the guardians
-Interactive maps such as Zanzibar
-Machinima friendly additions.
Too much stuff to mention, but I want most is all the playlist to be available day one and it to have more variety to it. For example I want multiflag and neutral bomb (if assault comes back), snipers to be in Slayer and Big Team. Stuff like that. I use to never get bored surfing playlist but now its so one dimensional.
Balanced customizable load out system
Ordnance limited to Infinity slayer variants
Competitive infinity/load out playlists
Competitive Classic playlists
Social infinity playlists
Social classic playlists
A PC forge where users can create models and textures and import them to the xbox
More custom settings
Different announcers (Chief, Cortana, Roland, rampant Cortana, Halsey, etc)
Clan system that can be managed from the waypoint website
In game leagues/tournaments
In game ranking system that can be toggled on and off
More user support for Matchmaking forge maps
A PC VERSION OF HALO 5
Do not want:
One extreme or the other for playlists (Super classic AR starts or Infinity mode x204898)
Useless Vehicles (seriously no point in some of the UNSC vehicles being requested)
Unbalanced loadouts
Active Cammo, just remove it period
if they do loadouts they should simplify the selection and make everything balanced
I would also like to see the option of spawning as Elite’s to access their unique loadout’s of Covenant weapons
I think they should just make UNSC loadouts like this:
Primary weapons:
-DMR (5 shot kill, 1.8 second to kill, long range precision 15 rounds)
-BR (4 shot kill, 1.6 second to kill, medium range 12 rounds)
-Assault Rifle (60 round magazine 1.8 seconds to kill at close range)
Secondaries:
SMG with scope from ODST
Magnum from ODST
Pistol from CE balanced a bit better
then make a covenant loadout selection for Elite’s
Campaign
-A good campaign that looks more in depth into characters other than chief and cortana
Bring back the brutes and prophets and possibly insurrectionists as new foes and maybe forerunner warriors (not prometheans in the sense that are included in halo 4)
-Bring back characters from the universe potentially infamous elites, spartans, etc.
-Allow us to fight against the best the covenant has to offer similar to spartan ops episode 10, an entire fireteam of elites in some cases rather than 1 or two
Power up the elites slightly in terms that they are more effective with standard weapons rather than making them harder to defeat by giving them fuel rods -_-
-Bring back ODSTs, classic music and warthog run for the end of a mission
Spartan Ops
-Allow more vehicle chapters similar to episode 10 also with different vehicles
-Allow us to fight alongside familiar characters from campaign/novels, etc.
Bring back just one firefight map and gametype similar to ODSTs
-Have a set amount of lives or respawn system like campaign
-Have spartan ops exclusive weapons or vehicles similar to the pelican in campaign
-Give bonuses fpr completing chapters on legendary, etc
-Make the spartan IVs the same height as regualar spartan IVs not the same height as Chief thats lazy
Multiplayer
-Better armor (seriously some of the armor isn’t very good compared to reach’s and it looks cartoony in comparison to the lush scenery)
-Bring back weapons and vehicles from previous halo games that the community has mentioned (+flying vehicles)
-Introduce new species to MM
Have preset settings and playlists set for spartan II, IIU and IV, e.g different stats, armor, height, etc
-Bring in some old maps which the community love
-Power down some weapons like the DMR in order to make the weapons more equal
-Power up the vehicles
-duel wielding and the weapons from previous games associated with it, as well as new duel wieldable weapons
-remove fall damage from spartans or at least the chief in campaign (after two games without taking fall damage, he shouldnt be taking it anymore)
-playable elites (brutes/prometheans too?)
-sentinels that fall apart when they die and drop sentinel beams to use (why the hell do they warp out in halo 4?)
-forge mode with different pallets (pieces with colors like unsc green, forerunner grey, covenant purple, etc.)
-Different forge weather environments (night/day, snow, rain, fog, flood haze, etc.)
-reach’s forge and customs capabilities
-theatre for ALL game modes
-a unsc flying vehicle (preferably a new one, but if not, a transport and regular variant of the hornet is a must)
-nerfed boltshot charge shot damage, not range. (make it take down shields with an overcharge shot)
-dmr becomes a map-spawned weapon only (or even better, remove it completely)
-bring back descoping
-make vehicles as strong as they were in halo’s 2 and 3. (snipers and other standard infantry weapons should not be able to destroy a hog in two clips)
-AA’s only spawn on the map (or just bring equiptment back)
-ordinance is only used to spawn weapons on the map (no POD’s)
-make active camo a powerup again
-allow the flood to hold other weapons, and if not, bring back the original infection (spartans with swords) so we can give the infected weapons to hold.
-bring back invasion, assault, race, and other gametypes forgotten in halo 4
-BRING BACK THE SPECTRE/prowler AND CHOPPER!!!
-bring back the classic banshee from halos ce-3
-increase warthog turret’s range to what it used to be in the previous halos
A decent matchmaking system that actually pairs people up based on similar skill. The Microsoft TRUE Skill system is an option, but anything over this random nonsense they have just now…

halo 4 uses microsoft’s true skill system right now…

Read rules or go away, take your childish behavior elsewhere because the majority of people on these forums are tired of it.
-Remove custom loadouts(That’s why I don’t play BTB as much as I used to)
-Add more vehicles(Either add new ones or bring back the old ones) I also remember on the map Avalanche from Halo 3 where the vehicle color matches the environment. From flying vehicles to the giant elephant.
-Add infection.
-Please use Halo reach’s UI to Halo 5. Don’t use Halo 4’s hideous UI.
-Bring back Halo 3 or Reach’s Recon armor design.
-De-scope.
-Add needle rifle
From reading ever ones else comets I can see several common things, you can condense almost ever ones ideas into:
-returning halo to its original arena shooter style:
-dual wielding
-equipment returning (particularly for camo)
-removal of load outs
-more control over customs
-all playlists there on launch
-more variety in vehicles
-remakes of older maps included as extra DLC
-no fall damage
-zoom out wen shot
-vehicles weapons having a different range or damage parentage or health
-adding more cosmetics to the game:
-more playable characters
-nicer looking as halo 4 most cosmetic spartan armor look weird
-improving the ranking system:
-visible and skill based
-but I’d rather have an xp system as well to unlock just cosmetics
improvements to forge:
-control over weather
-ability to change texture themes
-mostly more control
-theater
more engaging campaign:
-halo 2 styles seeing the covies point of view
-return of the bruits
-more alert characters that interact with each other
-seeing what happens to older characters
-theater
My own add ins:
-ability to back track and not have weapons you drop or don’t pick up disappear when you walk 5 feet away (probably a draw distance problem from making halo 4 look fantastic on older hardware)
-pc version (where I first played halo CE)
-use some of the older music with new music I was shocked there was no original halo theme playing when I first started the game up and I only heard it during the campaign once and it was not included in the sound track.
-more community events or 343i playing with us (I normally got matched up with bungie people at leased every week or fortnight)
-interactive environments like in halo 2 multiplayer maps they were always fun to play on
-a lot more smaller maps on launch or an good number of all map types
-new covenant enemies to fight agents
-more campaign maps that are huge like they were in halo CE and 2 (they seem to get smaller every new game)
I want them to bring back all the things we have lost from H2 & H3. Space combat (like in star wars battlefront 2) the ability to swim would be nice. Bring firefight back
