Hey guys!
So I thought I would make a really long post about what people (me included) want and most certainly need in Halo 5: Guardians, Here we go!
So this is a given as he was in the Halo 5/Halo 2 Anniversary Mix-Up Trailer which was awesome to see, Arbiter is a huge part of Halo although he may not seem like it.
I think 99% of people want this feature and it is easy to see why! there’s something about holding an SMG/Plasma Rifle/Pistol/Needler in each hand that makes you fell like a total badass! mentioning the SMG makes for a good segue into my next Want/Need.
Brutes - Must I explain?
Old Weapons/Vehicles
Weapons
The SMG - The SMG was awesome, plain and simple, coupled with the Dual Wield mechanic was just an amazing experience.
The Brute Shot - The brute shot was the closest thing we had to a grenade launcher before Halo: Reach and I hated the reach one, maybe it was because I was horrible with it and it needed skill to use, or because it was crap, I don’t know, and since Halo: Escalation has introduced us back to brutes, I don’t see why not!
Brute Plasma Rifle - I love the plasma rifle and having a red one just made it even more awesome!
Brute Spiker - Underpowered in my opinion but if the brutes are going to make a return then it only makes sense.
Spike Grenade - Again, if the brutes return it makes sense to have their grenade.
Incendiary Grenade - Just a fun grenade all around.
The Flamethrower - If the flood are to return, this will be incredibly useful.
Halo 2/ODST Magnum - I love the magnum don’t get me wrong, but would another one hurt? this gun looks awesome along side the next weapon.
ODST Silenced SMG - I think it’s safe to say that an absolute ton of people want this weapon in another Halo game and I can see why, I loved roaming the dark and silent New Mombasa trying to avoid Hunters while also trying not to kill any engineers for that damn achievement! and this was my trusty weapon! maybe it could just be in the Campaign and what ever secondary mode we get whether that be Spartan Ops or Firefight!
The Scarab Gun - Obviously as a hard to get Easter Egg or in a mission where you still a prototype or something, not for PvP use.
Vehicles
The Brute Chopper - If we are going to have Brutes, we need their signature vehicle!
The Spectre - This was an interesting and awesome vehicle that only ever appeared in Halo 2 (Possibly Halo Custom Edition) and was never really seen again, I hope it returns someday!
The Hornet - Again, must I really explain? The hornet was awesome looking, powerful and would look super -Yoink!- if 343i keeps up with their amazing Graphic design from Halo CEA, Halo 4 and Halo 2A, WE NEED A UNSC FLYING VEHICLE -Yoink!-!!!
The Falcon - I know I just mentioned the Hornet but I think the falcon should also return, it was a great transport vehicle and at times (New Alexandria Mission) it was good in combat. Falcons were actually supposed to be in Halo 4 as seen here
UNSC/Covenant Assets
ODST - having ODST’s fight beside you in Halo 2 and 3 was awesome and I think the ODST’s have been underused.
Scarab - The scarab is just awesome looking and pretty scary too, the first reveal in Halo 2 was awesome and the Halo 3 mission “The Storm” when it climbed over the wall and the part in “The Covenant” having to fight 2 scarabs, just an awesome covenant unit.
Halo 5: Guardians BETA - Well this one is sorted because we are getting one! well done 343i!
Well That’s it for now, let me know if you want to see something return or if I forgot something and I’ll be sure to update this post!
Thanks for reading this lengthy thread!
