The first Return of Reach DLC was amazing. I love the armor it added plus the grenade launchers and the few other things I’m missing. But I’ve heard that this fall update will be a big one so there’s no telling what it could be. If they made a part 2 this is what I would like to see. For one, the return of the falcon. It would fit into the game so perfectly with multiple variants such as a Scout, Hannibal and even one where the pilot has control of the guns. Next would be weapons, I would love to see the arrival of the Needle Rifle along with the Plasma launcher and Concussion Rifle. These with different styles could fit into the game well and make matches more interesting and unique. Third, I want to see the Classic Helmet pack back in the REQ shop for some time. Me and my friends missed out on it last time and have no way of unlocking them. Last but definitely not least I want to be able to forge on the best map of all time, that’s right, Forge World. So many great times and so many great things. With how in depth Halo 5 Forge is compared to Reach the building possibilities are limitless. But that’s the end of this little rant. Let me know what you guys think would be a good additive if this update were to happen!
Seems like a neat idea. Were it to happen, it could be interesting to throw the Revenant in there as well (though I’d definitely choose Falcon first). I’d also love to see Reach DMRs and Assault Rifles. Lastly, I wish we could have the troop carrier Warthogs (from Halo 3 and Reach) in the game, that would be great.
As for the Classic Helmet REQ pack, whilst not available with REQ points anymore, it can still be purchased with money from the Microsoft/XBOX Store.
The classic helmet REQ pack will probably be added to the loot table this update. The helmet cards have indications like ‘Rare’, ‘Ultra rare’ and ‘Legendary’ and not ‘$$$$$$$$$$’. So rather sooner than later they will be added to the loot table.

Yes, but I think it was actually called Memories of Reach

I hate to burst your bubble, but I’ve heard the opposite.
Eh, not that I don’t appreciate them adding classic armor and weapons, but I want this next update, assuming it’s the last update as well, to be completely original and new, and not borrowing concepts and pieces from older titles.

Thanks for the info about the helmets. And yes, I think the Revenant would be fun to see and have in Halo 5. And it far as warzone goes I’d like to see the Recah DMR and Assault Rifle as permanent REQ unlocks.

And saddening, but whatever the update I’ll be happy to play it!
This is my last Forum post for today as there is a really stupid 5 post’s a day rule. Someone needs to make a forum about that.

My gosh that would all be awesome
I would just like to see the Halo Reach Assault Rifle and the falcon it’s not that hard to add 343.

I think the sky is crowded enough.

> The first Return of Reach DLC was amazing. It was called Memories of Reach but I guess it’s not a huge thing to worry about, it’s basically the same thing. I love the armor it added plus the grenade launchers and the few other things I’m missing. Grenade launcher was added in the Monitor’s Bounty content update, which was back in December 2016. Memories of Reach saw no weapons from Reach itself added, rather the return of the Brute Plasma Rifle. But I’ve heard that this fall update will be a big one so there’s no telling what it could be. If they made a part 2 this is what I would like to see. For one, the return of the falcon. It would fit into the game so perfectly with multiple variants such as a Scout, Hannibal and even one where the pilot has control of the guns. I’ve been over this a million times, the Falcon will not work in Halo 5. Stop asking for it. Next would be weapons, I would love to see the arrival of the Needle Rifle along with the Plasma launcher and Concussion Rifle. We already have the Blood of Suban Carbine which is just a better needle rifle. We do know the plasma launcher exists in Halo 5, but we have no idea if it’ll return. I’d love to see it back but I doubt it’ll return. We don’t need the Concussion rifle. We have the plasma caster and railgun which fill similar roles to the weapon. These with different styles could fit into the game well and make matches more interesting and unique. Third, I want to see the Classic Helmet pack back in the REQ shop for some time. I’m sure it’ll return at some point. Me and my friends missed out on it last time and have no way of unlocking them. Last but definitely not least I want to be able to forge on the best map of all time, that’s right, Forge World. We don’t need it. As great of a map it was, having the multiple canvases is far better. Not only are they only slightly smaller than Forge World (as Ducain has showed us by remaking the map in Tidal) but it means we get various environments to forge in. Grassland/mountain, snow, space/sky, desert/underwater. All of these and I think a few more exist with Halo 5’s canvases. There’s no point in bringing Forge World back. You want to forge on it? Go download Ducain’s version. So many great times and so many great things. With how in depth Halo 5 Forge is compared to Reach the building possibilities are limitless. But that’s the end of this little rant. Let me know what you guys think would be a good additive if this update were to happen!
I like that idea.
We should get a permanent role for Jun in the Halo campaigns.
Yay, more space that Halo 5 is going to take up.
Despite the fact that Halo 5 will no longer receive anymore content updates, a second volume would be the icing on the cake. I think it would include:
-
The Falcon - The Revenant - The OG Reach DMR - Plasma Launcher - Concussion Rifle…and the best for last, a second edition of the Classic Helmet pack. That would include:
-
Rogue GEN1 (Halo 3) - GUNGNIR GEN1 - ODST - A proper Mark V ; Decimator looks awful[/li] - CQC - HAZOP - JFO - The elusive GRD[/list]
Needle Rifle?
Needle Rifle.
Memories of Reach i kinda mussed it,so a second one would be great because i expected in the first one a falcon,needle rifle,plasma rifle and concussion rifle, also i would love to see a social playlist only for Reach with Armour abilities,weapons and chance to transfer your Reach armour over to Halo 5 but only for that playlist and customization options such as shoulders,chest,utility for that mode it would mean a lot to me and probably a lot of Reach fans.
For a true Reach specific update it would need to have primarily reach additions.
So weapons that could be added imo are-
Reach AR - This AR probably would not function any differently. They only real way this could be added would be to have some kind of bonus like slight increased movement speed and reload with a slight loss of damage and mag capacity. Other than that it could just be like the H2Br and be an alternative of the same thing (I know there are some slight differences between the two BRs in H5 chill)
Reach DMR - Similarly to the AR, this DMR would be unable to return without something to make it stand out.
Reach Magnum - Boasting a higher fire rate than the H5 Magnum and killing in the same number of shots. It could not be added as the gunfighter magnum already has a higher fire rate and although weaker (6 shots to kill whereas standard H5 and Reach magnum take 5 shots) has much higher accuracy than the Reach Magnum.
Reach Shotgun - With having 4 shotgun variants already (plus scattershots) an additional shotgun seems very pointless. Personally I think this is the best looking shotgun throughout the halos. Perhaps as an alternative skin usable in forge for customs then yeah why not but otherwise pointless.
Reach Mounted Machine gun - Basically Jorges chaingun but equal to the standard turret and doesn’t need to climb in firerate. Unneeded but I think it would be cool. Same with the H3 turret tbh.
Plasma Repeater - Although we have the storm rifle the repeater can stand out as you can manually vent it, you can start shooting again mid vent giving you a slight edge, it essentially fires forever and personally to me I love the look of it.
Plasma Rifle - In halo 2 (and anniversary) both PRs could kill in the same number of shots (about 18) the blue could sustain fire for longer where the brute fired faster and resulted in a faster but riskier kill time. In reach its actually the second strongest auto in the game (Ar kills in 19, spiker and repeater kill in 18, PR kills in 16 and the needler killed with 12) but how would it fit in Halo 5/6 when we have the brute one? In Ce the PR could stun with sustained hits, something the Voids Tear can do, so give that ability to the Blue PR, have its fire rate climb like it always did (H5 is the first where a PR doesn’t climb its fire rate) and make it slightly, slightly weaker than the brute PR. Boom Blue PR balanced I guess.
Needle Rifle - A lot of people say we don’t need this an they’d be right. There’s a lot of weapons in H5 we don’t need. We have the blood of suban! Then again just because there’s a super carbine that fires needles doesn’t mean that it’s a replacement for a loadout style weapon. The Needle Rifle is a full auto precision weapon with a set fire rate and requires the shield to brake before any supercombine can be gained. The blood of suban and the Needle rifle are different weapons that function differently. They’re not the same because they both fire needles.
Reach Needler - This is in my list only because it needs the shield to brake first, it should really only ever make a comeback if loadouts return.
Reach Plasma Pistol - Pure aesthetic. Functionally I can’t see how it would be different to the current one (if only they’d fix the fire rate to be more consistent) so this is probably an instant no go.
Plasma Launcher - This showed up a while ago, if I remember right, in reach 4-5 rounds were enough to demolish tanks and it could track anything hostile. It’s been compared to the plasma caster but the gameplay for these two weapons are very different. Although the plasma caster is listed as anti-vehicle in forge it suites the role of anti-infantry much better whereas the plasma launcher is truly a vehicle destroyer. caster can track vehicles when charged but the launcher tracks a hell of a lot better.
Reach Fuel Rod - This one I’m not particularly bothered about as the gameplay would be mostly the same. The only differences are H5 fuel rod can bounce its shots and its rounds have no drop
Focus Rifle - Literally a sentinel beam with a scope. No seriously lore wise the covenant modified a sentinel beam core, added a scope and boom a beautiful weapon in the right hands. Aesthetically its gorgeous and adds a long range continuous laser weapon to the game again (unless 343 add a sentinel variant with variable zoom)
Concussion Rifle - This is another one thats been compared to the caster but if you’re a fan of covie weapons you’ll know that these two weapon are very, very different. Where the caster tries to be anti-vehicle the concussion bullies medium and light vehicles. Not necessarily destructive to vehicles it does force a huge amount of denial in movement. Its shots have less arc than the casters normal shots but than its charged ones, holds one extra round and detonates on impact.
Reach Plasma Turret - Another aesthetically based one. Idk maybe they could make the functionality different in some way I’m tired.
Looking the vehicles now (much smaller list thank god)
Falcon - Many people say it wouldn’t work. In warzone that would be correct, falcon has no turret, spawns in the air with no passengers to help defend. Worthless.
Unless, when selecting a falcon you don’t spawn immediately, instead you become an additional spawning option and players can choose you to spawn with you as your gunners. That or they add a unique spawn point for the falcon or give it the chaingun (I’ve got something on reach that lets me use that turret and my god its lethal pm me you want to try it out works online, don’t worry it’s custom game not matchmaking :D). Obviously the potential to have lots of variants is there but thats another factor that turns people away as it will overflow the REQ pool even more. For BTB and customs the falcon will be very snug, the only things that would need to change would be armour/health upgrade to survive H5s combat. I feel that scout, machinegun and grenade variants would be guaranteed but I wouldn’t put it past 343 to input hannibal and oni versions, maybe even another vespin variant?
Revenant - I considered this vehicle to be a mobile concussion rifle. Nicely armoured and messed with medium and light vehicles, making them spin and just, oohh the memories. Devastated warthogs when it rammed them, not as much as the Chopper did but still.
Reach banshee - I’m adding this here as its faster, more agile ad its bomb could lock onto ground vehicles. If this was to be added to it could be given a little extra armour, move faster, no shields and lock onto ground vehicles. Visually it and the H5 banshee do resemble each other but the H5 is more rounded.
This is just a list of, what I feel, could be added in the future. The only ones I truly, truly want is probably the needle rifle and plasma rifle (my two favourite weapons)
