Does anyone have an element of previous Halos that you want returned? Maybe not something drastic but something you want that previously worked that unfortunately disappeared.
Ranking System? Many praised the ranking system of Halo 2 and 3 but the reality of it was that it was broken thanks to derankers and those who sold level 50 accounts. Regardless, don’t you feel like you would want to see it returned in one form or another?
For the campaign I miss the variety of enemies. In Reach, we practically had everything the Covenant had to offer. Brutes, Engineers, and even Drones. Wouldn’t you want them to make at least a slight presence in the next game?
One of the various things the multiplayer in 4 lacked in was a human air vehicle. Would that have been difficult to incorporate a Hornet? Not even a Falcon? I don’t know, the Banshee reigned supreme in the sky.
How about duel wielding? This could easily be fixed to work. Just increase the reticule of the target area and bam, you balanced it out to not give it much range while giving it maximum effect in close quarters.
How about certain gametypes like Invasion or VIP? I’m sure we’ve all had fun in gametypes that no longer exist.
Anything you want in particular to make a comeback? I apologize if there is already a previous thread. It’s 3 in the morning 
I want all the guns/weapons that have appeared in the previous games in the campaign and they can be in the multiplayer too but in a controlled manner so that one map might have this and the other map has that. This excludes the scarab gun since that was a overpowered easter egg.
The H1/HCE Rocket Warthog, which shots just 1 rocket every 1-2 seconds and can shoot just 3 rockets until reload.
I want the brute shot, scarabs, brutes and all their weapons, chopper, smg(halo 3 one),DUAL WEILDING, halo 3 gravity hammer, halo 3 spartan laser, actually good vehicles.

God, I hated that thing. But, why not. 
Things I want: The SMGs, Brute weapons and vehicles (including the Brute Shot), and UNSC flying vehicles.
Hornet and Falcon. The Hornet is the attack helicopter and the Falcon is the transport helicopter.
Weopons to stay on map and not disappear.
With the possible return of the brutes, their whole weaponry we had in previous halos.
That’s a big list OP, even if we don’t include Halo 4.
Asymmetric multiplayer is one of the top five though. I’ll just stop there for now.
Revenant.
Plasma rifle from CE. No dual wielding, it ruins weapons.
Flood from CE and H2. In H3 they were not that fun nor creepy.
Hysterical and funny grunts.
English “speaking” Covenant.
Prometheans. And more Promethean types.
More customisable firefight.
Oh and Spartan Ops, but better this time.
This is simply a list, not a ranked list:
- De-scope
- Respawn Timers (instant respawn is absurd)
- Competitive FFA (H3 Lone Wolves)
- Crazy chaotic FFA (H3 Rumble Pit)
- Reach’s Grenade Launcher
- Slayer Pro
- Elites
- All the classic emblems
- Halo Reach style armour
- Custom game options
- 3-Flag
- Race
- The perfection medal
- A small motion tracker
- Camo as a powerup
- Consistent player traits (no perks)
- The Flood
- Responsive strafing (no more ice-skating)
Some of these have been listed previously, but here’s a short list of what I’d enjoy having back. Understand that I know these are some pie-in-the-sky desires:
- All Covenant species and their respective sandboxes (looking at you Spiker, Spike & Firebomb 'nades). Even seeing the Prophets in some capacity would tickle me greatly.
- The Flood.
- Firefight with Covenant, Prometheans, and Flood (and Innies if they get added to the story!).
- Spartan Ops only if they feel that the story can be compelling (I know they claimed Spartan Ops was what Firefight wanted to be, so if the bring Firefight back, they may not see this mode having a role again…).
- The Revenant
- Pretty much any multiplayer gametype that was dumped before I’d love to have back (Assault, Race, Headhunter, Stockpile, Invasion, Territories), or at least bake them into other gametypes’ settings (Regicide could totally be toggled into VIP or Juggernaut with a setting or two). I just enjoy having options.
- The option to not auto-pickup the flag in CTF.
- The option to toggle the ‘Flagnum’ on/off in CTF.
- Bring back One-Flag, Neutral Flag, One-Bomb, etc., as options in MP games.
- Lowball (Oddball variant)!
- Bring back Infinite Grenades as an option in custom MP games/Firefight as seen in CE.
- Bring back Bottomless Cup (referring to infinite ammo and not needing to reload) as an option in custom MP games/Firefight as seen in Reach.
- Longer campaign. Halo 2 campaign was almost too long because the story got repetitive and boring (for me at least). With this new focus on story, really drive that puppy forward and give us a 10-12 hour campaign.
- Any additional space missions they’ll give us. ‘Midnight’ totally felt like a Death Star Trench Run, and that is a very good thing.
As more of a wishlist of new things…
- I’d love to see the Flood come back but with more of a “Dead Space Necromorph” tone to them. Not looking for Halo to be Survival-Horror, but having the Flood be really grotesque and frightening would be a lot more fun methinks. The dismemberment idea would also spice gameplay up.
- Forerunner vehicles would be fun to see.

Spector, hornets, armors from 3 and reach. Elites need to return to MP, the plasma rifle or repeater. Brutes would be a nice to fight again, maybe flood. Firefight or Spartan Ops who cares pretty much the same thing. English talking aliens it doesn’t make since why we can’t understand them now after 3 games (excluding reach). An whatever the guy above me said.
Bring back all the weapons, armor, and vehicles from previous game; give Blood Gulch a proper remake; add an option to port multiplayer models from older games; being back playable Elites; and give the Chief another set of Mark VI. That’s all I’m asking for at this point.
1.Elites in MP
2.Needle Rifle - was my favorite thing about Reach
3.H3 1-50 (Ranked) in combination with Reach’s leveling up system (Ranked & Social).
4.Matchmaking for Campaign
5.The Armory
That pretty much sums up my list for now.
I miss the Brute Chopper. I doubt we’ll see it’s return but it was an awesome vehicle. I half expect the mantis to disappear because I like it so much too
I’d like to see mostly every weapon, enemy and vehicle return.
That’s something I never really understand. Why do certain things just disappear? I mean, it’s this huge galactic war hundreds of years in the future - and humanity just has around 5 vehicles? sometimes more, sometimes less.
There should be a dozen and more stuff.
It’ doesn’t have to be playable, but I think it would feel more authentic to have a huge arsenal around you.
Especially the Mantis:
Yea, some people didn’t like it. But think about it: the UNSC spent millions of Dollars to develop this machine and in Halo 5 there would be no trace of it at all?
Wouldn’t feel right to me.
