So with all the discussion over the recent removal of couch coop and 4 player customs/multiplayer (in which I’ll admit I have a bias in) perhaps there is something to keep hopeful about for E3/beyond. 343 added Spartan Ops to H4 as a kinda-replacement for firefight, featured in Bungie’s last 2 halo games, and being 2 player local… What are the odds well have another non-campaign coop with local play like spartan ops or firefight in H5 and if they do… Would it make up for the latest disappointment to many?
In the recent GI magazine reveal 343 stated that they’re planning on introducing a gamemode which would utilise all of halo’s assets. I don’t know if it’s just me, but now I’m imagining huge interfactional (space) battles with AI’s and players. This would definitely be something which I wouldn’t mind seeing as the sacrifice for 4 player splitscreen (though I must admit that I don’t have the controllers for local multiplayer on the xbox one, let alone the people to play it with).
As for an actual player vs AI gamemode, the more the merrier I suppose. Perhaps something will be revealed about this at E3?
In case of huge space battles with mini battles on the planet or in space stations, I called it four months ago.
