I’ve been playing some Halo 5 over the past few days while I’ve been waiting for Season 3 of Infinite to release, and honestly, I’ve been having a lot of fun with it. Unfortunately, however, Halo 5 is dying, and most game modes now are vacant. The only game mode that seems to consistently have players is Warzone Firefight (Heroic).
Warzone Firefight has been my favorite game mode for Halo 5 over the years, but I would really love the option to play a smaller-scale firefight match either by myself or in a small team, such as up to 4 people, kind of like Halo Reach’s firefight.
I don’t know if 343 is making any edits to Halo 5 whatsoever anymore, but if they are, I think that implementing a small-scale firefight game mode would be a great idea. This way, people would still be able to play Halo 5 firefight without having to wait to find 8 other players, so it could help extend the game’s life a bit more. Additionally, there was something special about playing Reach firefight either solo or with up to 4 of your friends. I really enjoyed the small-scale team over the large-scale team that we now see in 5.
Obviously, it wouldn’t really be easy to beat the current firefight game mode solo; there’s just too much going on! Maybe, in a smaller-scale firefight game mode, there are still 5 rounds with field enemies and bosses, like we already see, but tailored for less people.
If 343 is still interested in updating Halo 5 at all, and maybe if there’s any hopes of Halo 5 coming to PC, I think that this would be a really fun feature to have.

I doubt they will take the time to update H5 at all, but I can agree, and even have a recollection of saying Warzone Firefight should have had a customizable search option where you could have searched from one to eight players. I would have loved to try a warzone firefight solo. It would be awesome to see search options of solo, team (2 players), fire team(4 players), then squad(6-8)players. Let the players select what games they are interested in finding.

Also the spawn system of WZFF needs some changes. If im waiting for respawn and want to bring in a vehicle, it chooses the vehicle bay thats furthest from the fight for spawning, making me waste a vehicle because the fight (and the game as well in many cases) is over the time i get there.
Hope they’ll do that alongside with other bug fixes and a proper PC release, performance upgrades for Series X/S, Mod support etc.
Wont happen anytime soon tho as they have to put everything they have currently into infinite to save that dumpster fire first

Would love a 1-4 player firefight mode with vehicles disabled. No new actual content needed.
I really wish we had some sort of soundtrack editor too. All this great original music…and we cant use it for MP
Unfortunately with the layoffs, additional H5 support is even less likely.
I would’ve been happy with just 3 things:
-Re-introduction of Action Sack Playlist
-Putting all old Req Packs in the in-game store permanently
-Adding back Companies to Waypoint
I doubt anything will happen beyond keeping the lights on.

Infinite is way beyond saving at this point. No amount of updates will make it better

Nah man, it can easily be saved if they fix the desync issues, add a progression system and splitscreen coop, and bring in a better UI
I think it would be an incredible addition to add Halo 5 to Steam.
I think vehicles should remain available, but they shouldn’t be required to win a match
Halo 5 on Steam, I think, would be a good move for 343, because a lot of people want this. This would also give them time to work on Infinite while people enjoy 5 again

This would give more grace and support to the studio for sure especially after what just took place at Microsoft.
