My Wishlist For "The Perfect Halo"

  • Bigger Maps-I think that the maps for Halo should be huge! We should be able to play on a large open space, perfect for an all-out war. Bigger maps would be good for BTB (Big Team Battle) with larger player counts and bigger vehicles.- Larger Player Count-I want the maximum player count to increase dramatically. Currently, we are only able to have up to 16 players. Don’t get me wrong, I love being able to play with 15 other people from around the world, but wouldn’t it be cooler if you could have BTB of 20 players, 30 players, or 40 players? I want to have a full-scale war. Larger player counts and bigger maps would both be great for Invasion. They could upgrade Invasion so that it’s more realistic. What I mean is: in an “Invasion” there’s a whole ton of people/things invading, not just 6 aliens.- More Vehicles-I want to be able to have a LARGE variety of vehicles. We already have a ton of ground vehicles but what about air vehicles? The only vehicles we have been able to fly in MP are the hornet, the banshee, and the falcon. I really want 343i to give us a couple more air vehicles at least. What about letting us fly a pelican and allow the pelicans to carry 10 people in each? Or what about being able to have a phantom with an actually lift to lift players up into it?- More Customization-Even though we gotten a ton of customization options for our Spartans/Elites (being able to change the visor color, the shoulders, knee-pads, legs, torso, helmet, etc.), what if we had more options? Just imagine: you are able to give your Spartan (or hopefully your Elite too…) battle scars. You can give your Spartan: a crack in your helmet, a chip off your shoulder, energy sword damage on your torso or leg, a bullet hole between your armor plates, etc. Also, I want to be able to add little things to my Spartan like a grenade belt around my waist, a magnum holder or a small back-pack on my thigh, a machete attached to my shoulder, etc. Players’ Spartans usually reflect upon the player him/herself and the person feels like they are a Spartan (or Elite), but everyone should become the Spartan.- Bring Back Elites-Halo 4 was a good game (not all agree) but one reason why I liked Halo:Reach better was because Halo:Reach has ELITES. Elites are awesome! Now that the Arbiter is back in Halo 5, we have to have Elites now, even if they are only in Campaign, Elite Slayer, Invasion (Please bring it back), or Elite Ops (Elite version of Spartan Ops).- Weapon Sandbox-Similar to what xHaNdKeR ChIeFx has said, hope that we get to create and use all weapons from every Halo game and canon. Personally, I would really like to have the flamethrower back and be able to use the Jackal shield with another weapon. I know it would be awesome to have a game type where all players have swords and shields and it would be just . . . like . . . Spartaaaaaa!- Vehicles Sandbox-I want to be able to fly or drive any Halo vehicles described in a Halo game, movie, or canon. I think the Sandbox map/world should be like Halo:Reach’s forge world but it’s completely flat and it’s 10 times bigger.- AI’s-I know that I am not the only person who wants AI’s in MP. You know those days where none of your friends are online and you can’t find a game in matchmaking, well what if you could play an offline game with AI’s. If you don’t know what I’m taking about, basically just think of Call of Duty’s bots in MP. These are the enemies you would fight in Campaign but you can play with/against them on your own turf. Then if 343i doesn’t allow us to have a larger player count than 16, then you could have 16 players on 1 team vs 16 AI’s or bots on the other team.- A Good Campaign-The the story for the campaigns for Halo 5 and 6 should be well thought out. The story should make sense and it should be reasonable for most fans to accept, not like having a Grunt shooting Arby and Chief with a plasma pistol and they die immediately.(-_-) I also think the campaign should be good. It shouldn’t be too easy and it shouldn’t be really, really hard, but a good mix in between. I want the campaigns to have beautiful environments and take us to different places like back up into space for space battles or even in the ocean for a good boat battle. I want the story to be deep and reveal more about any characters they introduce like Agent Locke’s team or possibly Blue Team or the Arbiter’s team.- The Game Overall-The game should:- Have good graphics.- Be balanced.- Be entertaining and fun for all fans and non-fans.- Be fair.- Should still have players for ages to come.- Etc.I can’t really think of anything else to say so I hope that 343i and all of you guys like my ideas (I really want these things in the next Halos). Oh, one more thing: Bring back firefight, please. And give it an upgrade. Actually, I’m demanding that 343i put these ideas into the next games. “Asking isn’t my strong suit.” ~MC

I like it. Variety is always welcome.

About the campaign, well nevermind. Don’t even want to get started there.

Eh. I find small maps with lots of lines of sight more interesting than large scale BTB maps sometimes, usually when Sprint isn’t factored in. Don’t get me wrong, increased BTB support would be great, but Halo has sort of strayed from the tight, arena gameplay that made it famous. I think having huge maps and tiny maps would both be fantastic. Wizard remake, for example. :smiley:

However, my perfect Halo would include…

> I love it when this thread makes it’s round around the Forums. I started the last one with these suggestions:
> - Gametypes that fuse Firefight with Slayer (two teams face off in a battle of PvP and PvE, with actual players interspersed with AI)- Maps that play around with Halo’s physics (Large areas of zero gravity?)- New weapons from previously unexplored parts of the Canon, (Like a Flood claw that functions like an Energy Sword and turns the corpse of the enemy into a Flood combat form, or perhaps a Flood Carrier grenade that releases Flood Infection forms everywhere?)- Map manipulation/playing as an aniclla? You walk up to a terminal, stick your AI chip in it and take control of doors, turrets, shields, grav lifts, and other objects on the map- Trading weapons with other Spartans- More playable races, (Brutes, Hunters, Grunts, Elites [again] Forerunners? Flood? Prophets??)I would also add:
> - Spaceship combat a la Star Wars Battlefront. Players spawn in one of two Capital Ships, maybe even over a BTB map, and from there decide how to plan their attack, utilizing the offensive capabilities of their Starship and whatever vehicles/weapons/powerups/AI buddies? are at their disposal.- Forerunner Telekinesis/Gravity Field-or-whatever-the-Yoink-it’s-called: A powerup in the center of the map that drastically limits mobility but allows user mastery of Halo physics, or the control of Sentinels/Promtheans/whatevsNow about old stuff returning.
> - I’d be okay with AAs if they were similar to Equipment like Halo 3.- If dual wielding is implemented, I’d like it in one of two ways. Either you have one gun and some form of equipment in your other hand, say a shield, OR, have guns that come in pairs and are always used together. Instead of having one SMG, you’d have a pair of SMGs. This might mess up the idea of dual wielding, but eh.- Brutes. I’d like them to be playable, with this little gimmick: they have an AA akin to their implementation in Reach and 4 that triggers the classic Berserk mode. Upon using it, they’d drop their gun, double their speed, halve their damage resistance, and get a one-hit KO. It would last a super short time, but it would get longer for every kill you get, meaning chain attacks would be important. It’d have a massive cool-down also, to discourage camping with it. Basically, it would reward suicidal use.Anyway. These are mah ideas.

Bring back cortana and make a good campaign, that’s all I ask from 343

YAS! Bring back the elites!!

You speak truly!

Blue team in the campaign (with a good developing story in twining them with the chief) would be my perfect halo.

Halo 5 is the perfect game and it makes me -Yoink-.

i<3 Wraith

Good campaign, working multiplayer on good maps, Heavies and Ricochet/Team Ball playlists. Maybe Pelican/Broadsword in forge? All that and I’m sold

All good ideas, though I’d say some things were unnecessary to say, like…of course they want to make the game “good”.

P.S. I have long wanted to be able to use a jackal shield in the left hand!!! :smiley: That would be awesome!

  • I would lil a halo game that is like mass effect.Your own ship and crew travel across the galaxy buy armor and customize everything…play games get your guy drunk … I know it wouldn’t be halo but I would think it would be very awesome to do that choose either to be a Spartan or a odst level up your guy …

Bring back Invasion
