New gameplay Ideas

Well no one likes my ideas. Nvm…

Plz tell me this is just a meme.

> We should have armor abilities brought back into the game. Each armor ability could replace the sprinting that us Spartans have for some reason. With any other armor ability you could still ground pound. The only thing being lost is running and spartan charging.

Would these be related to loadouts or would they be map pickups? Either way, I don’t want them. I’d just like some clarification.

> 2. Bring back playable elites! But how can we do that when spartans have such new abilities? The give the elites new abilities. I mean it’ll look weird, but c’mon. I’ll die of epic sadness if they aren’t playable in Halo 6.

You do that there’s already a gigantic thread for discussing the return of playable Sangheili, right? If you don’t, well, take a look in my signature.

> 3. Sword blocking. Ever wanted to play with the energy sword, but you can’t reach the enemy and they just gun you down? Well, why don’t we just replace the sword aiming with sword blocking? We could have it to where it deflects 4% of bullets being fired at you. We could have sword fights too. Rather than just two people slicing each other to death, it will take some strategy! When sword fighting, you would only have a split second to block a sword. Maybe the sword blocking can also have a small chance of deflecting a rocket too.

I’m going to say no to that. If someone is dumb enough to try to close in on me with only an Energy Sword, they deserve to get shot to death. And blocking 4% of shots isn’t going to do much.

Adding more mechanics to sword fighting sounds like a bad idea. A common complaint that I’ve seen about Halo 5 is that it’s already too complex. Adding more stuff will only make it worse.

Also, no. No, no, no. Blocking a rocket with a sword can -Yoink- off.

> 4. Bring back the target detonator. I loved using the target detonator in Reach and Halo 4. Really fun especially if modded to be in forge. I’d like to have it as a weapon that can be used in forge and custom games. Would make some really cool gamemodes out of it.

Meh. Why the -Yoink- not.

> 5. Weapon ammo. Ever wondered why we pick up ammo from dropped weapons so fast? Why don’t we make it a bit more realistic? Ok so we won’t pick up all the ammo, but the longer we stand on top of a gun, the more ammo we take. It can also help with team mates making weapons disappear before their teammates are able to pick them up.


Are you trolling or serious?

Because this sounds like a pretty bad idea. If I’ve run out of ammo in a gunfight and need to escape and refill, standing there, waiting to get 32 rounds for my Assault Rifle or 12 rounds for my Magnum is absolutely going to -Yoink- me. And then you’ll have trolls for teammates who will just run by and grab the weapon while you’re refilling. Wanted to get some more Sniper ammo? Nope. That noob that’s going 0 and 12 is coming to grab it and hand it to the enemy on a silver platter.
