I’ve been reading the forums for awhile now and have been seeing how the forum community feels vs the “public” view of Halo 5 and how 343 has handled updates. I want to believe that the forum community can be won over by 343. I know we are getting close to the end of scheduled update DLC with MoR and finally Hog Wild next month, and that war zone firefight is coming sometime this summer and I’m pretty stoked for that. My feelings are, after hog wild 343 should release one more update. This update only needs to contain 4 points and nothing else:
-
black or player chosen under suitsI know that this could be difficult to program because you have to figure out how to separate the under suit from the armor
-
removal of grifball banningThis I believe could be done fairly simple, I would even say try a weekend of turning it off and poll
-
grenande launcherThis wouldn’t necessarily have to look like the pro-pipe. The ONI gun goose has one already so the sandboxing would have to be too difficult
-
UNSC air vehicleThis one is a daunting task, because of coding and sandboxing. However, UNSC would have some type of air vehicle to combat other forces.
I believe however if you focused on these 4 line items and nothing else it would be an amazing update that would really win over the forum fans. You wouldn’t have to add extra maps, armors, variants of existing items, or new game modes. The req pack would be super small and thats ok. With a DLC like this, the forum community potential to praise 343 would be overwhelming.
Lastly, I know the other big request is for a classic no sprint/clamber mode. I did not include this solely because I’m not sure how much leg work would need to be done for H5 to support it. To me I see the mechanics as “built in” to the core of Halo 5 (not arguing for/against it).
