Hello. Before I get started, I just want to say that I have been playing Halo ever since its launch with the Original Xbox. I love Halo, I love its story, I love the impact it had on the gaming industry, I love everything about this franchise!
Though one thing I’ve been so frustrated with is Halo 5 ever since it launched. Sure, its a good game. It had a decent campaign with an amazing multiplayer, but there are simple things about the game that NEED to be fixed.

**The UI is incredibly BAD…**One of the best things about Halo was how amazing and organized the menus were. Halo 5’s menus is a gigantic mess. Wouldn’t it be great if you could just select a certain helmet, which would cause another menu to open, showing all of the variations FOR that helmet, instead of just throwing all of the helmets/armors in one unorganized list? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could simply select a map and see all the custom maps built with it (the way Halo 3/Reach did it)? There needs to be LOTS of changes in the UI for this game. As a game developer, the way these menus were designed is absolutely lazy and unacceptable…

There should be more variety in the REQ packsInstead of having only three packs to choose from (Bronze, Silver, Gold), there should be specific REQ packs you can purchase! For an example; Customization packs: This could be the way you would earn ALL of your armors/customization features. Doing this would have made progress SO much easier. Vehicle packs: This would obviously be what you would unlock vehicles with. Once again, this would have made things a lot easier. Then if you still wanted to, the other packs would be available.

The game’s file size NEEDS to be compressedIt is insane that a game like this would take up almost 100 GB. There is absolutely no excuse for this, and this NEEDS to change. COMPRESS your textures, compress your models, compress your sounds, do SOMETHING to make this game have a smaller file size. Perhaps instead of forcing us to download everything, maybe you could have made Warzone and its REQs an optional download. This alone would have been a much BETTER move than what you do now.
I could go on and on but these are the top things that bother me the most. Please 343 Industries… As one of the biggest fans of your franchise, please make a change to this. Halo is special, and should not EVER be treated this way.
