I think the Spartan abilities are great. But it should become a power up to pick up. As in: make everything like Halo 3 movement but when you pick up a Spartan abilities power up then you have the ability to Sprint, thrust, glide, slide, slam, and charge! Aim down sights and clambering will be for all players. There will be two of these power ups on arena maps and 3+ on BTB. But I rather have it on just for ranked. Social play and warzone will have Spartan abilities on default for all players. That it stays normal gameplay and power ups stay advanced JUST FOR RANKED. I think it’s a good idea
While I’m on the topic of power ups, I think they should modify all of Reach and Halo 4’s armor abilities and make them pick ups too and not loadouts.
Yes and no. Pick ups OK…but have them unlocked with leveling…but all game types need to be equal, timed or recharge times with use, getting longer with higher levels. Reach style but more indepth. Bring back bubble shield and deployable cover… Not Armour lock… Could even be added to REQ system or single use. Not everyone plays ranked.
Halo should go back to a Halo 1- 3 style gameplay, but with Clamber added and equipment back as map pick up items as it was in Halo 3. Spartan abilities like thrusters, ground pound etc. Would then become equipment. The possibilities with equipment is nearly endless. Heck, even something like Armor Lock as a one time use map pick up item might even be ok
I absolutely DO NOT want any form of ADS style zooming back in future Halo games. It looks terrible, it breaks canon (as I’ve been told from people who know much more about the lore than I do) and worst of all it makes Halo feel bland and generic. One could easily update the look and such of thy original zoom style. Halo used to set trends, not copy them.
This would be a good compromise with on map pick ups but clamber and ads need to go. Having an actual zoom and learning skill jumps has always been a part of Halo. The skill jumps specifically have always been part of the learning curve . It shouldn’t be soo easy to make every jump. Also height advantage is kinda ruined when you can just clamber on everything. An example is top mid on truth
For anyone that doesn’t like this idea, don’t just say “I like Halo 5 and hope it stays like this” actually say what you like about it or else it doesn’t add anything to the discussion. More than likely Spartan Charge will be removed and maybe Ground Pound too. It is 343 and they love to change things soo more than likely something will be taken out
Nah now that I’m used to them and they changed it to that tbh I’d quit halo at that point. I don’t have the time to re learn how to play halo a 3rd time. But I’m always accepting if they take out spartan charge
The only thing that would really need to be changed in halo 5 and going into halo 6 is the spartan charge. You can initiate it too fast, and someone running around the corner whom you actually caught with their pants down actually ends up having the advantage on you at the press of a button despite you seeing them and shooting first because they’re already at enough speed to charge.
increase distance needed to reach max speed for a charge
give sprint a gauge like it had in reach, but this gauge is actually tied to the thruster pack. You know how when you sprint there’s the initial few steps then the whoosh sound comes out? The gauge is depleted during the whoosh (which is the only time to activate charge).
a depleted gauge also depletes thrusters, and stabilize, possible you can’t slide either without the guage
ground pound also uses up thrusters.
a thrust can be activated at any time the meter isn’t empty, and a full thrust is always executed. So the sprint thrust slide jump traversing combo stays, but can’t be spammed to move across the maps too fast. It may result in a better overall pacing. (Maybe)
This guage is the thruster guage, and this is how it would work. The current audible sound is also great, so I’d keep that in(the cool down recharged sound). The guage would only appear during sprint, stabilize, and your ground pound since a full use isn’t always what we use that ability for. It is not visible during a thrust since a thrust depletes the guage automatically regardless of how much was left or if it was full.
This stops people from running the entire map distance waiting for the right time to charge without as much consequence. Now you’d use it more strategically. You’d have to position yourself and time it.
If charge wasn’t in the game I’d leave everything as is. If nothing changes…well… its annoying but not game breaking for me.

Sprint is obsolete because Speed Boost is in the game. Replace a “Sprint” power up with Speed boost and you can do far more than Sprint ever could.
The problem isn’t really that everyone us using them, its the fact the whole game has to be designed around them. So 1-2 people are running around much faster than everyone else/the map intended. Or the more likely option (since you said on by default in social), everyone is moving much slower than the map intended.
