Warzone: Potential for Content

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

Now, maybe it’s a bit of as stretch here, but bear with me here:

With Halo 5 being constantly updated with lots of new content (maps, mechanics, weapons, cosmetics, all that jazz), I’d wager that it’s safe to say that the sky’s the limit in terms of possible future content.

And I don’t know about you guys, but while the classic CE Covenant races are all fine and dandy, it’d be nice to see some of the old variety. Do you think it’d be possible for 343 to implement some of the old faces again? Jiralhanae, Yanme’e, and Huragok galore! And hey, while we’re throwing ideas against the wall, why not add some Ruutain and T’vaoan for good measure? We still have yet to see the Kig-Yar races together in the games themselves, and it’d be interesting to see their differences play out in-game!

And this is really starting to push it, but why not some of the old Covie vehicles as well? The Remnant is a remnant after all; It wouldn’t surprise me to see them using old Revenants, Spectres, Shadows, etc.

And maybe… Okay, definitely pushing it now: Why not instead of the final boss in Warzone Firefight being Warden Eternal (Hell, this could account for Warzone in general.), why not have a SCARAB or a HARVESTER waltz onto the field, with destroying its core being the game-ender, or maybe Jul 'Mdama at its center with a gathering of Zealots.

My point is, overly-ambitious as it all may be, the technology IS there, and there’s so much potential to be had in expanding the field outside of things we’ve already visited in Halo 4: As of right now, in terms of transitioning from Halo 4 to Halo 5, we got a new Promethean mook, a very British Promethean elite mook, and a Promethean VTOL. And no, I’m not counting Warzone bosses, subclasses (that are usually subclasses in name only, anyway), or reskins.

I know I’m probably missing something here (the legal world is a royal pain and all that), but c’mon guys, the opportunities are practically endless.

Oh, and it’s already been thrown out there a few million times, but the Flood would be nice as well.

(And playable Elites…) Okay, sorry! Sorry!

The flood warzone map could be a crashed UNSC ship made for CQC and with two halves of the ship and in the middle is a massive infected field where the vehicles would be. It could be on the Pillar of Autumn and have it as a simulation of the end of Halo CE, with the ending being the Halo exploding.

Now that would be awesome! The finale of the Maw x 40 would be a beautiful sight to behold.

All of these are very good ideas however I don’t imagine us seeing old vehicles and enemies in Halo 5s lifetime, since that would mean 343i would have to create brand new models and balance gameplay with these in a game that is reaching the end of its post-lauch content calender (supposedly). But I suppose the gamemode is in its starting stages, 343i probably didn’t want to take many risks so that they can see if they got basics correct, hopefully in Halo 6 they go nuts with the posssibilities

Scarab would be so sick.

Thats kinda what Reach was in a way, same with 3. Thats where they pulled out all the stops.

Best place to do it, I suppose. Still, one can dream, eh?

It would be amazing to see one enter the scene at the climax of the match; Just crawling over the walls of the map, cannons blazing, just like old times.
