So I was just kind of wondering what the ideal Halo 5 would be for the community…
If you guys want feel free to say what the “Perfect Halo 5” would be for you.
For me though:
Start with Halo 3
Make the pistol non dual-wieldable and similar to the one from Reach.
Remove the missile pod (no one ever used it).
Add Promethean weapons.
Modern graphics.
Add some newer weapons (Sticky launcher, 'nade launcher, SAW, Rail gun etc.).
Improve the BR.
Better net-code.
Increase base speed by 5 to 10%.
Add Invasion, Dominion and other new modes.
Add Firefight and maybe Spartan Ops.
Multiple perspective Campaign (Halo 2).
A reimagination of Blood Gulch, NOT A RECREATION. (Ex: Valhalla took the 2 base BTB concept and redid it from scratch so lets redo it again!)

I think a lot more than this should be done to differentiate Halo 5, but these changes are a good start nonetheless.
There will never be a perfect Halo game for the community, because of the fans.
The “perfect halo” for me would be:
Awesome campaign with long missions/many missions, interesting story that answers questions and gives new ones. A campaign that I can play over and over and over again without getting bored and with finding new stuff on every playthrough.
I have enjoyed all the four main campaigns and I’m kinda sure that I will enjoy H5 too.
I don’t really care that much about if the matchmaking will be perfect for everyone. I enjoy it if I do (I probably will so that is not a problem for me)

Lol what? The battle riffle not good enough for you?

I agree with most of these things, but I think it would actually be better with less weapons, or at least weapons that are more unique in their purpose and usefulness. I’d definitely like to see the DMR completely removed, but unfortunately it’s not.
I’d also add that the perfect Halo 5 for me would be without sprint, loadouts, AAs, perks, ordnance… the usual stuff people don’t like about Halo 4.
Better UI (no sideways text please)
Clan and Custom Games matchmaking
More options for Custom Games and Forge
Do away with Voting and go back to the Veto system
Rewind/Play clips in reverse in Theater
Leaderboards
New game types
There’s probably more things I can’t really think of right now…
No loadouts, no sprint, no armor abilities… Think halo 3 with equipment that you can pickup. BR not DMR. Dual wielding.very good 4v4 maps that also play well with 2v2. Think midship/lockout/guardian. Don’t use as much bullet magnetism to create a skill gap between players. A visual ranking system on screen from 1-50 based off of the team winning. I don’t want people not shooting at a guy until they can kill him so they look better. To me, there is a reason halo 2 and halo 3 were the most popular games of their time and reach and h4 we’re not. I think 4 took a step in the right direction because reach was just a disaster but both games did not live up to the halo name

Well maybe it’s me or maybe it’s just Halo 3 showing it’s age but the BR has some issues with the bullets not always registering.

Halo 3 always had a bit of a host and net code issues. Dedicated servers should help alleviate that issue.
Speaking of adding reverse play back to Theater mode, why was this not impemented into any of the Halo games? It seems like such a simple and obvious thing to have. Is there a technical reason behind it?

I can’t speak for the OP, but the Halo 3 BR’s excessive spread combined with a horrible netcode certainly wasn’t good enough for me.
