Do you guys remember when Halo used to be about getting map control, power weapons, skill, strafe, out-br, in-game ranks, CLANS, teamwork, DESCOPE etc…
I REALLY hope halo5 brings back ALL of this, but I guess I would be happy only with descope.
I hope 343i give us something soon because to be honest, there are any other game like halo out there and it halo4 got boring so fast and on top of that, MS decided to turn the servers off for H2 
what do you guys hope for halo 5?
Please try to be constructive. tell us what you want in halo5 and why you think it should be implemented in h5
Thank you.

Well, I’m all for halo getting closer to it roots, but strafe and “out-br” were never about skill, they were about muscle memory.
I for one hope that those two are toned down in the future in favor of map control, teamwork, and positioning. I believe competitive gaming should be about playing smarter, not playing “faster”.
While all these things would certainly be nice for the competitive community and bring back a more familiar Halo for those of us who have been with these games from the beginning, all evidence seems to point to the contrary.
What I mean is, that starting with Reach and now in Halo 4, the games ave been moving to a more “casual” gamestyle. Whether or not this is good is a matter of opinion, but it is very clear the series is moving more in this direction.
Even though Halo is getting a bit less hardcore, I still think it takes way more skill than CoD. I haven’t played Battlefield online yet though so I have no idea what that scene is like.
Honestly, I think the main reason Halo’s population is declining is because it is difficult to be good at. Sure, a lot of the competitive gamers got pissed off and left, But I would make the argument that the overwhelming majority of people on XBL are casual gamers, and are more drawn to games like CoD that require less effort to play. And while halo 3 was the most populated game on XBL for a while, that changed when CoDMW came out.
So to answer your question, I would like to see more thing from Halo 3 like pick-up equipment instead of Armor Abilities, and loadouts that allow you to pick a primary weapon but must have magnum as a secondary. Then buff the Warthog and pretty much every vehicle except the Mantis. (the fact that you can take out the Scorpion Tank fairly quickly with combined BR fire is completely ridiculous to me).
And also, bring back Assault! Does anyone else remember playing one bomb BTB in Halo 3? Good times.
Sorry for such a long post, I just had a lot to say on the subject. Anyone reading this please keep in mind that I still play Halo 4 on a regular basis and love the game, I just think it can be improved.
