Top 5 keepers for Halo 5 to bring into Halo 6

Community General Discussion
1

Here are my personal top 5 elements I have enjoyed from Halo 5 that I would like to see continue in Halo 6. Stay positive people. Think of new additions to Halo 5 that you like.

  • The amount of useful weapons from proper distance. There are 25+ weapons I will grab and feel like I have a chance. That is the best achievement of Halo 5 by far. I personally wouldn’t mind if they carried 80% of the weapons into Halo 6 as is (in terms of functionality but maybe change them cosmetically). Tweak 20% and add 5 to 10 new ones. - Perfect medal. It seems trivial but it has really made the game more enjoyable for sure. - Halo 5 Forge. I understand this isn’t a made from scratch idea but it is really good in Halo 5. Now I expect they will have new features and such but they did a really good job with Halo 5 forge even though it wasn’t there on launch. My opinion is try not to reinvent a good wheel. Just add some sweet elements to an already great forge and include it at launch of Halo 6. - Power weapon count downs. At 1st I thought I would dislike this because it felt like my team had an edge in older versions. Now I actually enjoy the fact everyone knows.Sometimes there are solid players that can’t mic it up and this knowledge keeps them in the loop. Perhaps they could even expand this to BTB and countdown power vehicles. - Nade splash sound FX and Flag and Ball carrier hit markers. Just like #4 I just think this create more aware players on the field. It reduces call outs in certain areas to allow for other call outs in others. I guarantee that after I post this someone will post something I like even more and I will have a palm to the face moment but I thought I would throw these out there.

Agreed on all counts. If they’re not in Halo 6, I’ll genuinely feel like we’re missing something good.

They need to keep Req weapons making an appearance in campaign.
Keep Master Chief in the game -.-
and also add killjoy medal B)

ok, here are my top five things from Halo 5 that I want in Halo 6:

  • I agree with you about forge. In particular the weapon glitch. I want it to be a supported feature in Halo 6, and extend it to vehicles, too. Also we need to be able to spawn AIs. - Yabda the Merciless and the other announcers need to return as customization options, built into the game and not as DLC. - Seat switching in vehicles - The Grunt mech. Maybe even as a boss in campaign - Battle Golf

  • All DLC included at no additional cost! Thank you noninvasive REQ system that doesn’t turn the game into P2W. - 60 frames per second game-play and dedicated servers. - Maintaining a balanced start concept throughout every mode. - The Spartan Abilities; though, Spartan Charge could use some fine tuning tweaks. - Forge; continue building on the current advancements.HONORABLE MENTIONS:

  • Feature an open BETA to the public. - JiP for social modes; though, with some fine tuning tweaks. - The sandbox and its general balance; the REQ system’s amazing weapon variants! Plus, treating the magnum as a competent and useful starting weapon. - Advanced control settings. - The Custom Browser - Spartan Companies. - Firefight - Seat switching in vehicles. - The squad concept in campaign - Focused, Balanced, and Expanded Matchmaking preferences. - The updates to 343i’s TrueSkill system that are in the pipeline. - The Competitive Skill Ranks for Ranked playlists. - The ability to Spectate and Observe matches. - The Promethean Soldier and Goblin Mech.

Good stuff. I forgot about Seat Switching…I couldn’t imagine being in a Hog without it now.

Also I could be wrong on this but isn’t the flag carrier or bomb carrier slightly more exposed in the passenger seat of a Warthog also new?

Oh yeah I forgot about spectating! That’s fun and I hope it comes back in Halo 6, too.

I’m not sure, I haven’t played enough CTF or Assault in Halo 5 to notice

#1 is huge… I can’t believe I forgot that one. Keeping the pop on the same version has been greatly beneficial for the Halo community as a whole.

I’d actually rather have less weapons. With 3 different species, the sandbox is just a cluttered mess of redundancy. Give us a lean and mean sandbox.

  1. A better Forge even though this one is amazing already.
  2. Ranked and Social playlists with better a matching system. Also, Social has less or no stat tracking.
  3. Spartan Companies
  4. The Grunt Mech
  5. Ground pound for an ability. It’s gimmicky, but I like it.

There are a lot more little things that I’d like to return, but most of them have already been mentioned.

10
  1. Sprint
  2. Thrusters
  3. Spartan Charge
  4. Ground Pound
  5. Smart Scope
11

I’d like to add to this list:
Thruster pack
Free DLC
REQ weapons (meaning super fiesta would stay)
Customs browser

12

1.wepon variants/ reqs
2. ground pound, auto stabilize, clamber and some of the movement mechanics
3.breakout and breakout game types (change the settings plz no shotguns or radar)
4. free DLC
5. and finally that sweet halo 5 magnum plz plz bring it back next game even if its BR starts next game

13

To everyone saying “free DLC”: Yes free DLC is cool but let’s remember not to encourage 343 to release an incomplete game, and then add the missing content gradually over the following months, as happened with Halo 5. That’s a surefire way to kill its population.

14

Different req variants on weapons is awesome

also the additions to loadout weapons aswell

spartan abilities except spartan charge

If you can come up reasons two weapons are the same, I can give you reasons they’re different.

There should always be an element of redundancy between factions weapon sets, with variation distinguishing different advantages between weapons.

Keepers

  • Free content (but let’s not be like Halo 5 where so many game modes came out way after launch) - 60 frames - Equal starts (the fact I have to even put this is kind of sad, as Halo should always have this formula) - Dedicated servers (but they really need to improve upon them, too many random disconnects for too many people and need more of them) - Warhog seat changing__Discard__

  • All forms of the ADS style zooming animation (old zoom style is far superior! Just update that style of system, don’t introduce a new one) - Warzone (Interesting idea but, resources could be better used on modes like BTB and especially Firefight which should of been a focus in Halo 5) - The absolutely horrible UI in this game (especially the pre game lobby) - Seasons (too many players I know quit Halo 5 flat out because they hate the idea of redoing there rank every 1-2 months and I can see there point) - The huge amount of Armors/ Helmets that are too similar (put some white strips on x and look, it’s totally different now… pathetic!)Resurrect

  • A Halo game that can truly be played offline and with real LAN mode!! - ODST style firefight - Maps that have interactive environments (like H2A had) - Iconic Music and Themes of characters/situations (that should of never changed) - A pre game lobby look that’s more in line with Halo 3/Reaches (the best by far!)
