So I have been playing Halo 5 almost every single day since the games release. Its a ton of fun but there are a few things I have noticed that could use tweaking or change. I figured I’d share my thoughts on here since I know 343i listens and cares what we think.
Customization changes
Colors are a big thing in Halo. Being able to customize your characters look is amazing. I’ve noticed a lot of strange things regarding the colors. They don’t seem as prominent as previous games. There’s no true purple, the Orange is strange, no true green, red, blue, etc. I feel like having a color wheel in sorts or at least more like Halo 4s colors would be beneficial.
On the subject of colors. To be able to choose the 3 individual colors of your emblem would be nice. Instead of the different groups of 3.
I also miss the general emblem customization but that may just be me.
Anywho onto other things.
Warzone
Okay I love this game mode a lot. But it can get repetitive as well as one sided. First off, I have been spawned outside of the map multiple times where I call to my death. I recently got it on video as well if that is needed.
Secondly, I feel randomizing the AI spawns would add a lot to the gameplay. Just imagine running to Fortress on Stormbreak in the beginning and running into a huge group of hunters instead of Lochagos. Or instead of the Banshee spawning Captain Hestro popped out. Really anything to mix it up. Even if a huge squad of 50 grunts spawned that were worth 3 points each. Just something to keep variation involved. I feel it would keep gameplay fresh as well as not let one team or the other be prepared to take them out the instant they spawn. I feel this would keep it from being one sided.
And how about an alternate route out of home base on A.R.C. and Stormbreak just like Apex 7. When one team is completely blocking your way out it gets really frustrating and boring when you can’t step out of the base without losing your head. At least in Apex 7 You can sneak out the back door. Even if it was a simple teleported the out you in a random location. Couldn’t have just one because it would become a kill zone.
Also what is with some games not allowing REQS to work at all. Thats frustrating.
Arena
This game mode seems to have the least amount of fixes that I could come up with.
My huge issue is the map rotation. It is extremely boring when you play the same map 3 times in a row. Bring back voting. At least we could have a chance at choosing our fate. This issue happens way too often.
Also. How come we never see certain maps on certain game modes.
I have only played Orion on free for all and the last time that happened was at launch. I love that map. How about Strongeholds on Truth or Regret? Or CTF Regret? This would allow so much more variety. And bring back oddball. And ricochet and not to mention king of the hill. This would keep me playing longer.
Also it would be nice to be able to review what was in the last REQ pack you opened. Sometimes a game starts or your fireteam backs out preventing you from seeing your stuff. Being able to look back would be nice.
Anyways. At this point it’s late and I don’t want to start ranting. I know this game is constantly changing, and evolving. I just hope that others see the benefits in my ideas and agree. Hopefully we can see some of this introduced. Keep up the good work 343i!
