Some of my Ideas for H5:Guardians MP

I think every item that has been added to the Halo fiction should return.
Vehicles:
Human (UNSC)- Warthog, Warthog Gauss, Warthog Troop (I want to be able to have a like a full team sit in it, not just marines), Warthog Rocket, Mongoose, Scorpion, Hornet, Falcon, Rhino, Vulture, Saber, Hawk, Broadsword, Mantis, Mammoth, Cobra, Wolverine and the Elephant. Maybe the Pelican on huge maps. And any civilian Vehicle especially a Fork Lift!

Covenant- Ghost, Banshee, Prowler, Spectre, AA Wraith, Wraith, Shadow, Brute Chopper, Vampire, and the Locust. And maybe the Phantom and Scarab for maps that have the Pelican and maybe add more vehicles for the covies so the amount of vehicles are equal

Weapons (Keep the Loadout System and Have Weapon Skins):

Human (UNSC)- Suppressed SMG, Assault Rifle, Battle Rifle, DMR, Magnum, Shot Gun, Sniper Rifle, Rocket Launcher, Sticky Detonator, Rail Gun, SAW, Spartan Laser, Normal SMG (For those guys who want to Dual Wield), The ODST Pistol, the Grenade Launcher, the Flame Thrower, the Missile Pod, Chain Gun, Frag Grenade

Covenant- Carbine, Needler, Needle Rifle, Focus Rifle, Beam Rifle, Concussion Rifle, Brute Shot, Brute Spiker, Gravity Hammer (With a Hammer Assassination), Energy Sword (Halo 3 Version Please and please include the sound that the sword makes when you pull it out and it “turns on”), Plasma Rifle, Plasma Repeater, Storm Rifle, Fuel Rod Cannon, Plasma Pistol, Plasma Cannon, Plasma Launcher, some new ones…

Promethean(If we can still use their weaponry)- Scattershot, Suppressor, Boltshot, Light Rifle, Binary Rifle, Incineration Cannon, pulse grenades, maybe a forerunner turret. And maybe some new added guns…

Halo 5 Weapon Skins idea
Have a thing like most first person shooters where you can select the skin for the after selecting the gun itself instead of having 3 of every gun with a different skin. And a better way of being able to achieve these weapon skins is by completing weapon challenges or commendations. So like right now in Halo 4 we have weapon commendations but by completing those you are rewarded with xp. Why no give a player a weapon skin for using that gun.

Armor Customization:
Legs,Visor,Arms, Helmet (Halo Reach Helmet Customization), Shoulders, Chest (I want the Knife back on the Chest),Things,Armor Effects, Colors, And Like someone said earlier The Skin (And it should be different skins for all armor. Meaning all armors can use the same skin, Firefight voice and of course the Emblem (I would love a combination of the Halo 2 and Halo Reach armor placement meaning have the emblem on both arms, the back, and the chest. Oh and have every emblem that has been in every Halo.)

Let’s try to clear up any confusion surrounding the armor skin thing. Instead of having 2 or 3 of every armor with different skins we should have a section in the armory where you can choose between 3-6 skins for all armors. And there should be a different set of 3-6 skins depending of the species you choose. Like there are Spartan Specific and Elite Specific Skins for the armor.

Armor itself (And i want the full set for all. Meaning Chest, Helmet, Legs, Arms, and Shoulders):

SPARTAN-
A Republic Commando Style Armor (Now that one of the former creators joined 343)
EOD (the Halo 3 Version)
ODST (Full set like in Reach/H4)
CQB (Halo 3 Version)
CQC (Halo Reach or a new version would be nice)
Hazop ( a mix of the Reach and Halo 4 version)
Commando (A mix of the Reach and Halo 4 version)
Hayabusa (Full set, and the Katana Chest for getting all the Skulls)
Grenadier (Like the one in Reach)
Recon (A more Halo 3 approach to the Chest)
Warrior
Soldier
Air Assault
Gunginir (A mix of the Halo Reach and Halo 4 version. But have the Reach shoulders)
MK VI
MK V
MK VB
MK IV
MK VII
MK VIB (The Halo 4 version if that is in fact MK VI armor)
Scout
Rogue (Halo 3 Version)
Security
EVA
The Halo Reach version of the Scout armor
Dead Eye
Locus
Stalker
Path Finder
Defender
Vanguard
Operator
Pilot (And I would love the Haunted version of the helmet as well)
Military Police
Emile’s Armor From Reach (the Assault/Sapper Chest)
Another one for the chest would be the robotic arm.
Oh and bring back the Tactical Chest pieces… Like with the Ammo Packs on the chest…

Thighs: Ammo Pack, Med Pack, Tactical Soft Case, Tactical Hard Case and So on.

Visors: Gold, Blue, Black, Red, Frost, Sunspot, Verdant, Legendary, Operator, Pioneer, Teal, Purple, Wetwork, Pathfinder, Stalker, Rogue, Tracker, Cyan, and so on…

ELITE-
Combat
Assault
Commando
Flight
Ascetic
Honor Guard
Spec Ops
Minor
Ranger
Ultra
Field Marshal
Zealot
General
Officer
Arbiter anyone??
And maybe some new added Armor

Armor Abilities:
Jet Pack, Bubble Shield, Regeneration Field,Autosentry, Active Camo, Thruster Pack, Promethean Vision, Hologram, Hardlight Shield, Evade, and maybe an Armor Lock thing (But not as powerful) and maybe some new ones…

Have a more customizable playercard.

Forge: Have it a mix of Halo 4 and Reach (And have a Forge World Please)

Some Ideas for map remakes: Have Sand Trap, Blood Gulch, Ragnarok, and some other Fan Favorites Return with a mix of your own new map ideas and add in more city style maps like Head Long, Perdition, Boardwalk, Harvest, Land Fall, Skyline, Terminal, Longshore, and Turf

Ranking System: Pretty Much Everything Nak3d Eli mentioned in his Ideal Halo 5 Ranking system video “series.”

Multiplayer Match Making/Wargames (OR what ever you call it)
Have it set up like Halo Reach; Where you have CO-OP Campaign, Spartan Ops, Firefight, and so on and of course the Core multiplayer Experience

Gametypes: Head Hunter, Invasion, Snipers, Shotty Snipers, Swat, GrifBall, Infinity Slayer, CTF, Flood/ Infection, King of the Hill, Juggernaut, Oddball, Race, Stock Pile, Dominion, VIP, Regicide, Binary Slayer, Extraction, Rockets, Fiesta Slayer, And so on

Some Ideas for Playlists: Lone Wolves, Rumble Pit, BTB, Slayer, Team Snipers, Multi-Team, Team Doubles, Squad Battles, Team Objective, Regicide, Invasion, Swat, King of the Hill, CTF, Flood/Infection, Head Hunter, Odd Ball, Stock Pile, Dominion, GrifBall, Team Action Sack (Binary Slayer, Fiesta Classic, Rock n’ Rail, Lightning Flag, Head Hunter, and so on)

A mantle system like battlefield would be cool and maybe just maybe have the ability to slide into cover. And since its gonna be on the ONE can we get destructible environments please?

And Keep Sprint Default like in Halo 4 (Here’s why, It makes getting to point A to Point B a lot easier, It makes things funner and fast paced. Also here’s an idea that people keep missing… The Spartans are supposed to be super fast and strong and they’re supposed to run right? So why have Spartans Sprinting to get places in the “films” and in the cutscenes but not have it in the game? I for one love sprint and wish it was in Every Halo. Oh and here’s idea I say lets have a gametype/playlist where its like a classic no sprint no load out type deal for all those people who want a classic game…)

What do you guys think?

TL;DR version - The OP wants everything.

… I like you, OP. Sadly though, I think there IS such a thing as too much of a good thing.

Heres a few things from your list I don’t want to see return:

  • Armor/Weapon Skins - they are just unnecessary.
  • Armor Abilities - They haven’t worked in the past two Halo game, they aren’t going to get any better in anew game…
  • Forge - I don’t want a combination of Halo 4/Reaches forge, I would like a map editor with a new pallet.

I am a fan of Nak3d Elis ideal ranking system though.

So, this is basically a compilation of everything from past Halo games?

> Armor/Weapon Skins - they are just unnecessary.

But they don’t affect gameplay so they’re not that big of a problem compared to other things.

Maybe. Would that be bad?

Which makes them fun and in a way it keeps people playing because they have something worth getting.

I don’t agree. Sure, they don’t affect gameplay, but I’d rather leave things simple. Personally, it just reminds me of CoD and it seems silly to have all of these guns with skins in game. Its a personal preference and I don’t enjoy them at all.

The Rhino would just be a Wraith clone so that’s a no go. The Saber is too similar to the Broadsword gameplay wise so that’s also a no go. The Mammoth is so big I don’t see how it could really be used in multiplayer other than it being part of the map itself. Honestly no need for the T-29 Shadow, T-52 Prowler, or the T-46 Spectre, instead go for the T-48 Revenant as it’s more unique. The M7S and M6C/SOCOM would have no point, as they would both be easily outclasses by other weapons. No point in the Plasma Repeater either, but the Plasma Rifle and Storm Rifle operate differently enough to where they would work together. Concussion Rifle or Brute Shot, you got to pick one for matchmaking or else you essentially have the Plasma-Spike grenade issues Halo 3 had. They were essentially the same thing. Both could appear in campaign though.

Armor seems fine to me, anything I commented on that part would just be nitpicking. Instead of having the bubble shied as an armor ability simply have both armor abilities and equipment. Pop down a bubble shield and activate your regeneration field and you’re set if you were about to lose a headshot duel or something. No need for evade, simply make the thruster pack better.

Explain? They are nowhere near the level of COD

Highlight: wut

Weapon models in place of weapon skins would be nice (ex: MA5D can appear as the MA37, Storm Rifle can appear as a Plasma Repeater, etc.), a properly done set of ODST (meaning the way it was in Halo 4, just with Reach 's helmet and shoulders), Mark V, and Mark VI, some Halo 3-era Recon shoulders, black on the armor color pallette, a 100% black undersuit, and the ability to port player models from older Halo games. As for Elites, I had a thread about how to make them work in Multiplayer, but it was locked as a repeat thread, although I think it’s on Page 437 of that giant–Yoink- Elite thread.

Point is, these things in Halo 5’s multiplayer would satisfy me.
