Perhaps just simply the ability to utilize all weapons and vehicles from lore and past titles, I personally would love to utilize an M99 Stanchion Rifle… or drive an armored Elephant, troop Hog, and Vulcan mounted Falcon. Play as different Species, perhaps not just Spartans, Elites, and maybe Brutes. But the little guys too. (ODSTs anyone?) I know surely I wouldn’t expect everything here at launch but maybe down the line after the game has made some decent funds? And surely almost everyone would love AI in forge and purely an oppurtunity to create there own firefights or Raids. Simply just a jot down of some simple quality of life additions I think would greatly benefit the community and increase the longevity of this Halo title. I’d love to hear what others think, even if this is just another subthread of a wishlist or something.
It is an intriguing idea for sure, to be able to have access to any and all previous weapons and vehicles, while also being able to play as grunts etc, but 343 cant be so ambitious that instead of making a great game they fall short. I think firefight is an area where being able to play as multiple characters would work well. Playing as grunts and other small guys could give you a significant multiplier bonus.
I feel like that may be way too much to realistically pack into a game. It’s a fun idea on paper, but I don’t think it would make for a refined experience in-game. I do think there should be more freedom in the sandbox in term of how levels can be approached, though.
I think it would be a great idea for Forge or a couple of multiplayer modes. Not so much for campaign since that needs to be a bit more contained.
