Suggestions/Ideas for Halo 5 Part 2

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

This is my list of ideas for Halo 5. If you like to see my first post go here.

-Custom Text Signs/Decals
I’ve been wanting this for a long time. There should be the ability to choose a type of sign canvas, and then make your own text on it. The same goes with decals, you can choose the font and the custom text.

-Welded Decals
So if you didn’t know this already, you can’t weld a custom vehicle and set it to normal physics because the decal can’t be set to normal physics. I think that if a decal is welded to an object group, the whole group should be able to go normal physics.

-Colored Decals
Why can’t we change the colors of decals? I don’t know. The only way is to use invisible lights, but that involves turning the decal around, making it look bad if it’s asymmetrical, and unless the lights are outside of the map, there’s a random blob of color on a wall.

-Knight Blade as a REQ Weapon
This might be a terrible idea, but whatever. Anyways, you know those swords that Knights have? What if that was a REQ weapon? It would be similar to the energy sword, but a higher REQ level since it is larger and more powerful.

-Make Phantoms Killable/Destroyable
For some stupid reason in Firefight and Warzone, the Phantoms are invincible. Along with all the enemies in it. Until they exited the Phantom, they’re invincible. In previous Halos, you could shoot out the turret gunner, destroy the chin gun, and even damage the Phantom itself.

-Achilles Variants?
Why not? I’m not talking about something like most armors where the only difference between an Uncommon variant and Legendary variant is a stripe beneath the visor. It should be noticeable on the battlefield. When someone sees it in game, they should say “Oh, that person has Achilles (Enter variant name here)”. The way you could obtain this could be through completing another level of Kill Commendations, or completing other commendations.

This is all I could think of for now. Any thoughts?

#1 - Stop spawning us outside contested bases out in the open… I get that they’re just trying to help, but in doing so they made spawn-killing even worse. No less than five times in one game it decided to spawn me in front of a tank or a sniper or a guy with a gavel… Resulting in death before I can even move. I’d rather be killed inside the base rather than be spawned within the line of sight of the entire enemy team simultaneously.

#2 - See above.

#3 - An actual Objective playlist, with Assault, KotH, Oddball, etc in it.

#4 - See #1. Really getting tired of this new spawning madness.

Just out of curiosity, why didn’t you just add this to your previous thread? It hasn’t been a month since the last post, so I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t be breaking any forum rules.

Anyway, I think some non-boss Phantoms in WZFF are destructible, they just take a lot to kill. As for the Knight’s Hardlight blade being a weapon, I wouldn’t mind it, especially if we could use it as a Pulse Grenade launcher like it was in Halo 4.

For me…

  • Revamp the Motion Tracker, at least for Social and Warzone. 25m universal, with Halo 4 style elevation indicators and specific icons for vehicles. - Replace the “Radar Ping” with something like marking enemies like the Threat Marker attachment does. It would be a lot more useful. - Some sort of “Favourites”/Recently used/Frequently used REQ feature

I’ve already gotten some unnecessary (in my opinion) forum strikes.

I agree with almost all of your ideas from part 1 & 2, besides some such as the ghille suit and the Achilles variants. I’m all for variants, but the way that turned out in Halo 5 was just hundreds of variants of hated or un-used armour pieces. I want a selection of around 30 helmets, all with MAYBE one or two variants. I also want more armour pieces which are unlocked through certain actions. An ideal world would be a mix of the Halo 3 and Halo Reach unlock systems (challenges & credits), and with a similar amount of helmets to Halo 4 (but all of the quality of Halo 3).

A free fully fleshed out campaign DLC, and bots to add in Forge. If we had bots in Forge we could make our own Halo levels, which means fan fiction Evolved.

good list, i agree with everything, now heres what id like.

  1. armor presets\preset emblems, great for having different styles rather than going through everything again
  2. assassination previews
  3. armor categorising
  4. rp\xp for custom games, they could put a cap or even split it in half for lower effort\farming.
  5. firing range like cod? why not?
  6. playable elites, again why not
  7. more classic loadout weapons\vehicles like halo 3 odst smg or reach falcon and troop hog
  8. reach armor customization, they dont have to but it would be nice
  9. dominion gametype, easily the best gametype from h4, would be nice to bring it back
  10. domion features in wz\wzff, this is a great idea and it fits perfectly, it should be similar to halo wars.
  11. spartan ops missions\objectives for wzff, those objs are much more fun, it would be cool to have objs like “save the scientists.” or bringing back supplies.
  12. friendly ai in wzff, like halo cea firefight where they call in reinforcements to.
  13. advanced ai scripting for forge, ive seen this in far cry 4 so i dont see how itll be that hard.
  14. wzff balancing, theres alot they can do such as the banshees appearing to early and how quick they kill, also imo the promethians are still bullet sponges even on hwzff.
  15. wzff live pool, this will make it so much more fun and will give it a survival feel
  16. map voting, this is much better imo and it wont split up the player base as much with fewer playlists, like for wzff
  17. classic wzff, replace mythic wzff with this and allow people to vote the difficulty
  18. armor effects from reach would be cool.
  19. and split screen, this will probably take the most time but i think it really effected h5s population the most, optimizing everything for 2-4 players shouldnt be hard but takes time

and thats all i could think of, not only are these game changing but i do think it will increase h5s population greatly and even bring back players that left, what do you think?
