Since halo 5 is coming close to the end of its life cycle 343 should give it one Last update. Import the slip space engine to it add support for HDR and Dolby Vision and 4k 60 or 4k 120 if possible and add split screen. I know halo 5 is regarded as the worst halo in the halo community and I wasn’t a big fan of it myself but there were things about it I did like and I think it should get 1 last update

Well generally people regard multiplayer highly, and the story is what was considered weak. I personally wouldn’t call it the worst Halo game.
But we need the game to be ported to PC alongside the MCC, and the Xbox version needs both a FOV slider and 120 frames support. The HDR, Graphical, and audio upgrades would be nice too. A full-on Series X/S enhancement would just be the right thing to do, but I am sure their efforts are focused solely on infinite right now.
I would like them to create a series of challenges that helps people net the rare armors/skins before the game is shelved completely. Ice/Fire Unicorn Skins (or at least the Ice one), Achilles Armor and helmet, Olive Helmet, The Challenger armor set from the HCS twitch giveaway, defunct pro team skins, and maybe the grassroots skins.
It would also be nice to get one last big playlist update. I feel action sack should be permanent. Maybe they could rebuff the Halo 5 BR just a tad bit too.

We do need a PC port. I think that, if priced correctly, it could sell really well on Steam, like all Microsoft games have done.

Agreed there should be one last big update for Halo 5…I wasn’t a fan of the MP like I am with Infinite, but there were still some great moments. I think People are still going to play H5 since it does give players something that Infinite does not have WarZone, proper match type selection, etc …however, I am not sure it is possible to port the Slip Space engine over to Halo 5…that seems like a lot of work…it would be cool though.

I was intrigued until you said ‘import the slip space engine’ - because, come on - really?

for real, importing an engine is the most laughable notion ive ever seen!

You can’t just import a brand new engine into a game that’s already made, lmao. Also, it is 4K60 and has HDR on Xbox Series X.

I remember reading an article on the edge magazine, it talked briefly about halo 5 and the slipspace engine, it actually had a quote from someone at 343i saying to make sure the new engine ran splitscreen, they tested halo 5 on it.
I still don’t think they would upgrade the game with a new engine though…unless it’s a remaster.
for me halo 5 peeked at its beta after the beta it was just down hill instead of keeping what they had they downgraded and nerfed everything for people that hated the game while they had people that already loved it so everyone ended up sad
if i updated halo wars to be more like halo 3 it would piss off both halo 3 players and halo wars players
