this was in another thread but it kind of got swamped
by other comments so im gonna post it here.
please read it all the way through and give me some feed back
Bring back Elites and invasion
NO armor abilities
bring back equipment from halo 3 and new ones as well
bring back the grenade launcher
no more customizable loadouts
no DMR
bring back brutes and thier weapons
visible ranking system with service record
New modes
Better Forge( forge world forge AI )
better Machinma support ( disable the killfeed ,putting weapon down easier)
more options with custom games
Bring Back firefight but with some new twists such as an odst mode were stealth is key
Large scale battles- lots of vehicles lots of space lots of action
No more ordinance
more vehicles
no tactical upgrades
or support packages
now for a new approach
Customizable equipment- WARNING THIS MAY OR MAY NOT WORK PLEASE GIVE FEEDBACK but here is an example
there are a certain number of equipment such as flare powerdrain, regeneration field overshield active camo bubble shield. add new but balanced ones. no damage boost. If you use one efficiently you can earn points with it. these points will allow you to slightly tweek the equipment to your play style. for example if i use the regeneration field mostly for myself i can tweek it to have a lower AOE but a faster regen. if use it for my teamates i can tweek it to have a large AOE but a slower regen. stuff like that .with bubble shield i could tweek it to were i can shoot out of it but it has a shorter time limit or i can tweek it to were it could reflect projectiles or to were when it ends it would send out a concussive force which sends the enemy back a couple feet. small stuff like that.
Clan support.
this would add a lot of teamplay to the game. it would be like battlefields squads . the clans would be able to set waypoints on the map for their team it clan leaders could set orders like attack this objective or defend this area. or set VIP targets for example "guys this guy on this ridge is camping with the sniper we have to take him out. people that go through with these actions will get exp for there rank system.
Larger player count- Hopefully 343 can get a large player count to either 64 players or maybe even 100 or 100vs 100
Huge scale fire fight- there would not be waves but a continuous wave of enemies until you finish an objective on a huge map. customizable objectives would be nice as well
Dominion Revamped- here is what I have in mind for dominion. in Stage 1 there would be 2 main bases and resources around the map the teams would have to gather resources in order to upgrade the bases weapon systems,weapons,and to gain more equipment. stage 2 would announce a random objective like. download an ai to a chip and carry it back to your base. this is the stage were the teams earn points. stage 3 is when sudden death happens. if both teams have equal points or if one team is highly out numbered in points this is their last chance to win. the teams would have to remove the core from each others base. once a core is removed the base becomes unstable and goes into meltdown mode. the team with the core only has a few seconds to get out of the base and get to their base safely with the core.
and thats about it.
