So we now know firefight is 100% on the way and will be on warzone maps, hopefully you can use REQs in some form. That’s all I have to say on that topic.
Ghosts of Meridian. I haven’t got a clue what could be in this. Assuming the trend of Map+Armour+Visor ect All I can guess is the new map/s will be set on Meridian, and judging from the teaser I might be right but who hasn’t guessed that. Armour, haven’t the foggiest, I’ve seen some people suggest that SPI armour may be appearing due to “Ghost” being within the title and what the armour could do in the books. Other than that, maybe Marine style armour for Spartans could be introduced, or forerunner style since the in the campaign Prometheans attack Meridian? I don’t know.
Weapons, or REQs as I should call now I guess… We know we’re getting one or two suppressor variants, maybe some Magnum variants? Personally I’m not too bothered. Hopefully the sentinel beam would come back, miss that thing
Vehicles, we saw a variant of mantis in the teaser but I have no idea what it could be, obviously its machine gun has some kind of upgrade. Maybe some new phaeton variants but hardly anyone even has the normal one.
Gametypes, we’ve been asking for infection for a while now and after seeing firefight is coming, we can be happy knowing infection will appear at some point. We just don’t know when.
Forge, the forge community is as crazy as ever, building remakes and some of their own insane maps like Toy Box/Andy’s Room, Great Grittle and Reaper. Maybe for Cartographers that like scripting, pressure plates, both visible and invisible, could be added, set them for players or vehicles.
Side note: In forge I noticed that the hammer is located in “Brute” which in new rather than covenant, with brutes probably being the main enemy in halo wars 2 I think we can expect more Brute weapons to come like the spiker and mauler, personally I would like to fight them in a future update as well, maybe even see the Brute plasma rifle.
Memories of Reach. Reach was my favourite Halo, it was when I first got competitive and the custom games were amazing.
So what maps could appear, Spire? Boneyard? Hopefully some good maps.
Weapons, well perhaps the original DMR model could return? Similarly to halo the H2 BR returned. I wouldn’t mind if the actual Needle Rifle was added, I preferred to the carbine tbh. Plasma Repeater, loved it, always dropped the AR for it whenever I got the chance. Plasma rifle, missed it in H4, I felt like the only person who would use it whenever it appeared, felt like the only one who could kill with it too… Focus rifle, nifty little thing, pretty lethal in the right hands too. Grenade launcher, Great way to annoy those banshee pilots that did flips every 2 seconds. Concussion rifle, caster just doesn’t feel the same, love the way it pushed everything about.
Vehicles, Revenant, not as powerful as a wraith but could take much more hits than a ghost. Obviously the ultra (if one joins) version will have a much bigger blast radius or something. Falcon, I hope to god a scout version never appears, just the regular, grenade version and a pair of Oni variants will do me, rather not bother with Oni or ultra versions but knowing 343…
Gametypes, highly doubt invasion would appear unless elites become playable again. Headhunters, stockpile ect.
Side note: Wouldn’t mind seeing Reach versions of Elite armour (even better if elites did become playable), since Warzone is a simulation, Spartan IVs could re-enact some points within the human-covenant war. Maybe even see the old jackels and possibly Skirmishers return.
Hog wild, fudge knows what they plan in is this so I’m not even going to bother…
