DLC
I’d like to see two 4v4 (small-medium) DLC and an 8v8 DLC.
The first DLC should be 3 completely new 4v4 maps offering different gameplay and aesthetics similar to that of the majestic pack in Halo 4.
The Second should be an 8v8 DLC consisting of 2 new maps and a remake (preferably not a map that has been overdone) such as Waterworks.
The third would ideally be a larger DLC consisting of 5 remakes to build hype. One remake per title would be a great idea e.g. Countdown, Prisoner, Sanctuary, Guardian and Skyline. If I hadn’t bought the previous packs, you can count on me buying this one for sure.
DLC becoming free
In an ideal world, DLC would be free after x amount of months similar to how it was in Halo 2. In it’s current state, there is little to no chance of DLC ever being free. From what I’ve heard and please correct me if I’m wrong, this is because of the achievements attached to the DLC. So what if the DLC became free after (lets say) 3 months however the achievements stay locked for those who haven’t bought it.
Those who payed a small sum of money for the DLC get the privilege of playing it three months early (an incentive to buy it in the first place). However an incentive to buy the DLC could still be a problem so 343 could give exclusive in-game items similar to those seen in the Champions Bundle just included in the DLC e.g. armor sets, armor skins, weapon skins, stances and emblems. Obviously another incentive is the ability to unlock the achievements. I know I would buy the DLC for sure if 343 threw a few custom items in there.
I think this would be a great idea because DLC will feel much more worthwhile. Not in a long time have I been able to play DLC on a regular basis in matchmaking outside of a DLC playlist which gets stale fast. This will vastly improve the longevity of the game and should keep the community happy on a whole.
Free DLC
I’m not asking for whole new DLC packs but instead singular maps. And by maps, I mean one or two. Similar to Cold Storage and Forge Island.
First I feel Turf from Halo 2 (a massive fan favorite) is long deserving of a good remake.
Then I feel we need a forge DLC. Forge Island was great but wasn’t ideal terrain wise. I’d like to see Halo Reach’s Forge World return, just this time, bigger. Stick a few more islands in and call it a day.
Thoughts?
