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

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.

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?
