Realistically the lack of game types really makes Halo 5 get repetitive super quickly, that and the lack of company made maps really don’t give Halo 5 much replay value. Next update shouldn’t be REQ focused but more aimed at providing us with more maps (NOT FORGE ONES) and new game types (Either new or game types returning from previous games). I love Forge maps but honestly I feel Forge is being relied on too much to fill in for the lack of actual maps. Halo 5 has 9 arena maps that are not made in forge. 3 of these maps are remixes of other maps on the list. Empire and Eden are virtually the same map (give or take a bridge or ledge), one thing I can appreciate about Overgrowth compared to Plaza is the visual difference makes it feel different from Plaza. Even Halo 4 had iconic maps (Haven is one that stuck out to me).
New game types would provide new game experiences on the current maps and would at least break the repetitive streaks that we all experience. Halo 5 in it’s current state on has CTF, Strongholds, Slayer and Breakout. This is ridiculous, at the very least we should also have KOTH, Oddball and Assault on top of these game types. Infection is something I am okay with waiting for IF THERE WAS MORE GAME MODES! If we had more game modes I wouldn’t mind waiting for Infection so much because at least then some of the less popular game modes would get some attention.
So please 343 make sure either in the January update or February update that we get new game modes and maps because at the moment the game seems far too aimed at Warzone and even that has a lack of variety.
So what would everyone else like to see get priority to be added? Be sure to vote.
I’m split on this one, but ultimately I’d rather have more Warzone content (maps and modes, not reqs) cos I just find Warzone games to be more fun. That said, Arena does need an influx of better maps and game types

Don’t get me wrong I love Warzone, but I feel like the Arena maps are suffering because they don’t make the company money (Warzone is making them money due to the micro transactions of the REQ packs)
We seriously need infection…as well as action sack and fiesta. As well as regicide, man I love regicide.

They should implement a whole array of game types. Even the unpopular ones just so we have the option to use them. Stuff like Headhunter, Extraction, VIP, Dominion etc. Regicide is awesome, I quite like the team version of it.

It is disappointing that they seem intent on just cutting more and more game modes. Sure, we don’t need all the experimental types to come back in every game, like Stockpile, Dominion, Extraction, Headhunter, or VIP. But when they cut all the classic gametypes, it’s pretty depressing. No KotH, Bomb, Odball, Infection, Grifball. Not even a ranked Snipers playlist. Kinda sucks.

They should at least have the classics, but I always get upset when they remove game modes from previous games. I’m sure they’ll add them but really there should be more at launch.
