Hey everyone. I truly love this game and I truly want the best for it. So here I go. Time to make a post where I completely unleash ideas that I would love for Halo 5 to have added to it as content but I don’t want this to be my ideas. I would absolutely love for you guys to reply to this with even more ideas for what we as the fans would like as content added to Halo 5. 343 has said that they will add what the fans want so hopefully if we dedicate enough of ourselves into this than 343 will see what we as fans want and add it to the game. I will be crediting anyone who gives me ideas also. I will be also checking this daily and will add the good ideas. So here we go. :3
Guide:
- I will put next to things that we the fans want but could live without.
** Will be put next to pretty nice thing that we would really like.
*** Will be things that we as fans absolutely need!

1: Co Op features.
A. Firefight **
Halo 5 needs a good co-op feature with a decent amount of replay value and I would love to see firefight added.
2: Multiplayer
A: Social Playlists. (Confirmed by 343!)
B: Playlists:
I. Infection ***
II. Grifball ***
III. Action Sack ***
Action Sack Ideas: (Earthruler33)
Sword Breakout.
IV. Big Team Swat **
V. Player Created Forge Maps **
We take all of the top maps on Halo Waypoint or whatever form of file share we get and put them into an arena like playlist with gamemodes like Strongholds, CTF, Assault and etc. depending on what the map could handle. Also having a big team Community Map playlist would be nice.
VI. Old School Halo Playlist. **
In this one all armor abilities are dropped and we play Halo 3/2 style on forge maps made for the new movement system. This playlist should be an arena like playlist with gamemodes similar to the Player Created Forge Map Playlist.
VII. Permanent Doubles, Snipers(Not shotty snipers just snipers) and Four Team (4vs4vs4vs4 or 3vs3vs3vs3 or 2vs2vs2vs2) playlists.
C: Content:
By content I mean Req items and hopefully new weapons and vehicles that we would use in forge maps.
I: Weapons
a: Human Weapons
- Old School Weapon Variants. **
Such as having a smg variant that is like the smg from halo 2/3 maybe make it so your duel wield it but have the smgs be weaker than the default ones so that they aren’t too op or maybe make them just as good and have them be a power weapon and require a large amount of req points in Warzone. Also an old school assault rifle that is like the one from Halo CE. This one would have a 60 round mag and a higher rate of fire but also do less damage than the Halo 5 one; one that is like the Halo Reach one would be sick too. Old school Br (Halo 2, 3 style, Shotgun (Halo 1,2,3 Style).
b: Covenant Weapons
- Old School Weapon Variants. **
- Plasma Rifle! **
A plasma rifle like the one we have had in the prior halos would be nice. Maybe they could add a duel wield variant off it like the Smg. Also a red brute one would be sweet!
- Dual Wielded Energy Sword. *
Title Pretty much speaks it all. Have it take a very high req level to get or be a vital power weapon on an arena map. Also let it have a higher rate of lunging so you could combo take out enemies with it faster.
- Brute Weapons. *
Classics like the Mauler(Much needed hand shotgun), Spikers(Epic little hand cannons) and Brute shot(Enough said) would be epic additions to the mp experience. Maybe have a warzone map that has Brutes on it where the bases are different huts or whatever type of architecture that the brutes have. Now this would be epic!
c: Promethean Weapons *
- An old school Boltshot. It would have 8 round which would be shot like a powerful pistol or charged to be a shotgun. It would be a power weapon like the sniper or rockets.
II: Armor
a: Hayabusa!!! *************************************************************************************************************
Are you really going to let your Hayabusa fans down! - YouTube
b: Mark V, Mark IV, Marker VI gen 1, Noble 6’s armor, CQB(HorrorMoose). ***
c: Armor colors: Orange and Purple. **
III: Vehicles
a: Human Vehicles
1: Human Flying Vehicle! ← That’s all *** Suggestions Falcon (IRISH KNIFER6), Hornet or a vehicle from Halo Wars. Maybe even a Pelican!
2: Big Land/Troop Transport Vehicle. (Elephant, Mammoth, Scarab, etc.) **
A giant epic vehicle that you could ride around on with your amigos into an epic battle against either an enemy team on random vehicles or maybe to a base filled with enemies maybe with a flag or two or maybe even battle a big covenant vehicle like a scarab! 
This would be an absolutely epic addition to a big team battle map or even a Warzone map. With the epic scale of the Xbox one and Halo 5 I feel like this would be great.
b: Covenant Vehicles
1: Covenant Warthog like Vehicle ***
A Covenant vehicle to rival the Warthog. Maybe like the Revenant from Reach or the Spectre from Halo 2 and Halo 2A.
IV: Maps
a: Promethean Themed Map **
V: Weapon Skins
a: Covenant/Promethean themed UNSC Weapons
b: Arctic, Woodland, Desert Camos
D. Better Pre Game and Post Game Lobbies(USS Galactica) **
The current pre game and post game lobbies do not show who you have been matched with as well as Halo 3 and Halo Reach have done. Maybe keep it the way it is in the pre game for arena as knowing who you are matched with then should be hidden but post game it doesn’t matter as much. Also a feature to allow you to party up with the people you have just played with would be nice. Preferable have it be on the right side so you can scroll over than a drop down appears showing the players armor and stance and if you select it than you can see their service record. Would like to see their medals too but that is a stretch.
E. Reconnection after disconnection in Arena lobbies. Such as if a teammates internet goes out it would allow you to get them back in and not be down a teammate. ***
F. Competitive forfeit option. If a teammate or two were to leave allow the remaining teammates to vote as to whether or not the want to forfeit. This would stop a lot of games where a player or two leave then the remaining players are left to get owned by the other full team. ***
G. An ingame interface where you simply name what your lobby will include then players can join it until it is filled to whatever cap the host want. There will be two variables (Name and lobby max) that people can see on the list then you simply select it than you are popped into their lobbies. This would be epic for custom games, mlg lobbies and much more. ***
H. File Share(Screenshots, forge maps, game types, maybe even videos or links to xbox dvr videos)
3: Forge Features:
A: Forge Canvases:
I: Halo Ring Themed canvas. ***
A forge canvas set on a halo ring would be epic. Would love for it to be like a forge world part 2.
II: Covenant Themed Canvas. **
Having a Forge Canvas set on Sanghellios or another covenant homeworld would be pretty great.
III: Desert Themed Canvas. (Silent W00lf) ***
B: Spawnable enemies/allies on forge maps. ******
Let us spawn enemies/allies onto our forge maps. Lets us make them universally friendly to both teams or universally aggressive to all spartans, friendly allies. Also let us assign them to a team(Red, Blue, etc.) Controlable AI would be epic also such as letting us have them wonder, return to position when not in combat and etc. This would be tight and would allow much more ambitious forge creations. Imagine running into battle with 100 grunts behind you to take down the hoard of 1000 Hunters. While having kill balls fly thru the sky. EPIC!
4: Random Features:
A: Improve theater. **
Add a zoom features among other things that people want.
B: Unique Power weapons on Arena Maps ***
343 is already doing this but I have some rather cool ideas that I would love to fuel their power with! Alright so you know how on Truth there is an Energy sword , on Regret there is a fuel rod and on The Rig(Unsc) there is a sniper and rail gun(Human Weapons). See how the Arena Power Weapons fit in with the maps? Now imagine how unique an epic all of the maps would be if as we go on thru the game and dlc we put the sweet new weapons that 343 adds into these sweet new maps? See sounds great. Imagine having the old school rockets on a couple of the new maps or even having the old school rockets on a Valhalla, Blood Gulch remake. See sweet, epic, amazing… mind blown!
Done for now but please… please leave more ideas below. I will filter which ones do and don’t belong on this list but please everyone support this thread so we can have a strong voice on what we get added to this game.
First of all, holy -Yoink-!
Secondly, I would like to see better pre and post game lobbies. Where I can look at armors and stances. Where I can see medals and tools of destruction without hopping online. I think those requests may fall under a UI chapter maybe?

Ooh Added. I will give credit where credit is due also.
I originally had spacing so that it wasn’t just a giant wall of text and much prettier but the editor removes it every time I edit. So sorry everyone’s eyes. :’(
Updated the intro among other things.

Would love a Breakout mode with just swords.
Classic armors that are missing; CQB, Mark V, etc

> Would love a Breakout mode with just swords.
That would be amazing. Is there still a sword “clash” when you strike at the same time? Because if so, this game mode would be fantastic.
Desert Forge canvas would be wonderful. We don’t seem to be getting one as of yet.

Ooh Added!
Also, Firefight.
With the campaign being built from the ground up as a co-op experience, why would they opt out of continuing that experience with a replayable mode like Firefight?
