This post is going to be somethings halo 5 can do better to improve the experience simple as that. Now this post will have nothing to do with the core of halo 5 such as lets get rid of sprint or clamor etc. Things like that are not going to be here this is for improving on the mechanics that are set into place and can be improved. So lets jump into this. (leave positive feedback please not forum post person X is bad so his words mean nothing if you post something back it up with something)

Playlist options
This is probably the biggest issue which is why it is at top of the list. This game has arena, slayer, BTB, griffball, swat, breakout, FFA, and warzone. This is really bad because it is missing alot of great modes that would work great in this game. We need at least team doubles (ranked), multi team (ranked), oddball (add to FFA or social), action sack (social), Keep super fiesta as well just keep them all. Stop rotating them in and out why can’t they stay in the game. This would add more variety to the game and options for players. -
More maps or map packs
Now at first i was excited yaya free maps this is gonna be great. But it was better said then put into execution. They add to the game lack inspiration and just created in the forge. I know some people like this but you guys are a AAA studio make some maps with better assets in house and release them. This trend with all these forge maps is very irritating to alot people as well. All of the feel the same and lack any good atmosphere. I would be personally more than willing to pay for some better maps or just build on the free map promise and make some better ones. Tyrant was a good step as it was map that actually was made in house with new assets that did not look like a forge creation. We have players for forge 343i you dont need to do it. -
Make req point purchasable arena req packs for cosmetics
I and i know alot of people are playing nothing but arena 95% of the time. I don’t enjoy wz as much, its just not that fun to me. But i feel the unlock system is mostly designed for wz. It would be great to have req packs just for cosmetic items and and weapon skins, things that actually matter in arena to arena players. It would be nice to feel the love. Now i know there is arena req pack but it is 24 bucks and that is not right for cosmetics etc. Perhaps by having wz req packs and arena req packs you can see who is buying and using what more. 343 you can take some metrics learn what your player base values more . -
Or get rid of the req system when it comes to cosmetics
It would also be nice if the above option is a big no no for some reason. It would cool to unlock armor and weapon skins by actually completing commendation and leveling your spartan rank that you get through experience to unlock gear. Just two really simple solutions to an annoying problem and i think everyone would come out happy. You need wz stuff get the packs according to what you play more. Or make armor unlock through accomplishment instead of rng. -
More customization to the armor
Now after the acquisition of armor i feel it needs to be more customizable. At least at lets customize the head, left shoulder, right shoulder, chest, and legs. Maybe the legs and chest can be connected but the other options really need to be brought in. Its the little details that count and feel this is a big especially when halo 4 a game made by 343 not even bungie had similar options for customization. -
better pre game lobby UI
I think we need to get he old halo 3 or halo reach UI before a pregame. It would be amazing to see other peoples armor, names, emblems ranking, spartan and division ranking at the same time. Older games did even halo 4 did it. They have all these awesome stances in the game let us show it off to others. Its a little detail but makes a big difference that way i am looking at the game and not instagram on my phone and looking at other peoples file share and stuff like that. Also let us stay in our lobbies i played solo que and found dudes with mics we had a good game and want to stick together lets us party up right after a game.
These are just somethings that i think would really send halo 5 and even halo 6 up to the next level. They arent crazy changes just some simple details that can be ironed out. Make the experience more enjoyable, and build on the platform the 343i has created.
