ODST had firefight. Halo Reach had invasion. Halo 5 had Warzone. What can come next?
What do you think the next big game mode is going to be? What do you want in it?
I hope they make a big multiplayer mode with maps inspired from previous halo game levels, such as the pillar of autumn or something awesome.
I really want to see a space battle mode similar to the original SW Battlefront II, where one team would be Covenant and the other would be UNSC. It’d be so cool to load up friends in a Pelican/Phantom and try to board a Covenant carrier/UNSC frigate to take it down from the inside, or to get in a Longsword/Seraph and destroy some of the ships’ outer defenses.
Also this isn’t something that’d be the next big thing, but I think the Contingency mode added to H5 Infection last year would be pretty cool to see expanded upon. Dedicated maps built by the devs would help balance it (some of the Forge maps are exploitable) and the idea of linear survival is so cool imo.
I want a Warzone-scale team battle where every Halo gametype is active simultaneously. Both teams have an oddball, a ricochet ball, an assault bomb, and a flag. One of their members is a VIP. There’s territories across the map (with an option to build Dominion turrets in them), and a roaming hill. Whoever has the most kills without dying is the Regent. Someone in the game is the Juggernaut. When people die they drop skulls, and if you bring the skulls to territories you get points. There’s race markers across the map; you can only score by getting from one to another in a vehicle without dying – and bonus points for getting the vehicle into the roaming hill (which moves immediately, like a Rally point). There’s also an Alpha Zombie, and a special, rare weapon that cures people (with pretty restricted ammo). There’s a neutral oddball, ricochet ball, grifball, assault bomb, flag, and four stockpile flags.
This sounds like a crazy nonsense amount of stuff, but if it’s two teams of 12? Well… maybe still a bit nonsense. Maybe bump it up to 16v16. There’d always be something to do, and it would always be pure classic Halo, wherever you look.

Bringing back the Saber for this would be awesome. Maybe the Covenant equivalent would be the Seraph, and the Covenant counterpart to the Longsword is a Liche. Longswords are pretty big, so I’m trying to think of something large in size.
