I think 343I has a golden chance to create something new and cool in Infinite. One of 343I new things I liked is the mantis and smart scope. The new thing I think would be cool to have is a underwater mission and a submarine vehicle. Maybe that’s what they are hinting in the trailer?
Equipment items, spartan and armor abilities!
I think it would be awesome if all those things were combined in a balanced way in Infinite. I also think 343I should sort MP in this way:
MP: Social - Ranked - Classic - Warzone - Spartan Ops - Firefight.
Firefight would be like the classic ODST firefight but with another experience: Flood!
Fireteam Osiris could be used for Spartan Ops to get fans to know them more or we could even use a elite team from Sangheilios. We could use Noble team and ODST team to make players replay the legendary teams in a modern FPS. Could be very interesting.
Classic playlist could eliminate spartan abilities and armor abilities. They could spread equipment over the map tho to make the gameplay more H3 ish.
Social would be infection, grifball, action sack and more. 343I let them be permanent NOT limited.
Reqs would be for Warzone and ordinance drops only (ordinance drop could be one time use per game).
Spartans abilities could be balanced with armor abilities. If you choose one armor abilities you will get some spartan abilities automatic activated. You choose sprint you’ll get slide and spartan charge.
You choose jetpack, you’ll get ground pound.
You choose evade, thrusters is activated.
Climb and stabilizers would be permanent.
I think it would be best to make camouflage, OS, damageboost and speedboost as equipment items spread out on the map to give the players a rush in the start of the game.
If we could get these ability combos in Infinity I think they would fit perfectly with the H4 and Reach loadoats because these things you could make some really interesting gameplay strategies.
Like bubbleshield + regenerator. Autosentry + deployable cover.
Active camouflage + promethean vision. The list is there.
I think a ordinance drop could be nice to return too. In H2 we had that in the campaign and in H4 in MP. But the ordinance drop would be one time use and a req.

Spartan Ops with Locke and Noble team? Firefight with flood? Classic and modern MP? Submarine vehicle?
