What do you want for Halo 6?

Community General Discussion

Curious to see what everyone wants to see in Halo 6 for both the Campaign and Multiplayer. Below are just a few questions (With some mentions of what I would like to see):

Campaign

  • Do you want them to focus on one team or two for the campaign? (I think they should focus on one team. My preference would be Master Chief, Locke, Arbiter and either Palmer or Buck.) - Any characters, from ANYWHERE in the Lore, would you like to see or even mentioned? - What factions do you want to face? (Would like to see the Flood again) - Do you think we will face Covenant species again and how? (The Covenant is pretty much smashed, so I don’t know how they will be included. Maybe a slave army by the Guardians?) - What vehicles do you want to face or drive? (Again anywhere from the Lore) - What would make good boss battles? (Bring back Scarabs!) - What worlds do you want to visit? (Aside from the Halo Installations) - Should Cortana be killed or would you like her to redeem herself? - Do you want space battles? - Should this be Master Chief’s grand finale?Multiplayer

  • What game modes do you think should be mandatory at launch day? - Should they modify the REQ system or keep it the way it is? - How can they improve Armour collection? - What Spartan abilities should be kept? - Can you think of any new Spartan abilities? - What kind of Maps would you like? - Should it have Firefight or something like Spartan Ops? - Should there be maps that focus on Vehicle combat?Well these are just a few questions. If you can think of anything else that you’d like to see for future games please leave a comment below. Thanks for reading.

PS. I know a lot of the plots from Halo 4 have concluded. But one thing still confuses me. The Librarian said that the Master Chief was the product of thousands of years of planning. Is this still valid and do you think it will play a part in Halo 6?

Campaign

  • One team (blue team with osiris being NPC or something) - I want to here bornsteller being mentioned - Convenant would not make since, def want flood and more flood types like grunts and jackals etc - want to see or play with some vehicles from halo wars - Scarabs were fun but that was also covenant, maybe like a similar forerunner one or something, the kraken was boring. - Chiefs home planet - eh not really needed, but if its added Im game - If done right (ya vague i know lol)Multiplayer

  • Competative: CTF, slayer, oddball, one flag. Social: infection, BTB, slayer, fiesta - Some armor need to be tied to commendations not just RNG - Focus on detail not skins. - All but spartan charge - small and medium maps, so some like pit, and some like truth - Im not a firefight fan, wave based modes are a bore - Yes but people never really use vehicles even on vehicle based maps so I doubt it work.
    To answer your question no I dont think it is valid anymore, at least genetically. When the librarian unlocked his genes she basically made him immune to being composed. The most I can see her referring too is him being the human that would reclaim the mantle from cortana. (I still dont know how the mantle still exists, thought it was destroyed after firing the rings)

But was that the only reason. Just to make him immune to the composer. I can’t help but feel there has to be more to it. Like maybe it will play a part to how they will end his story.

With the gameplay so well tuned in H5, I’d love to just see the current game expanded on greatly. The current mechanics and weapon balance are great, and only need minor tweaks. Things like the suppressor need some love, but for the most part the game is very well tuned. Keep the current maps/gametypes, and just add stuff on. Bring in like 6 more Arena maps, 6 more Warzone maps, and focus the rest of development time around a huge campaign.

Halo 6 would be a monster of a game if it had everything Halo 5 has and more.

who knows, it seems 343 likes to pull minute details and make a plot point from them. Cortana saying her next version “wont be me” for example, when line of dialogue basically foreshadowed the events of halo 5. I guess I would not be surprised if something came of it but I also would not if it was completely ignored.

Less complainers

7

MP:

  • Modes: Slayer, CTF, KotH, Oddball, Bomb, infection - PLaylists ranked: HCS, Doubles, FFA Social: TS, Team Obj., BTB - no sprint, no AA’s, high base movement speed (maybe stuff like double Jump if there have to be some gimmicks…) - utility weapon sandbox - visually diverse maps (no more 80% UNSC - 20% forerunner/covenant) - split-screen - Firefight - increased FOV
    SP:

  • less/no prometheans - less Osiris - keep Buck (Nathan fillion)

8

SPLIT SCREEN.

9

Where is everyone who wants Sprint gone?

10

No Armor/Spartan Abilities, no ADS, no ability-centric map design and no REQ system.

11

Team for campaign:
Chief, for obvious reasons.
Arbiter, again obvious.
Locke, can’t just ditch the new team leader after one game.
Buck, lots of backstory as he was in ODST.
Obviously the rest of Blue and Osiris can play a part somewhere as it wouldn’t make sense to just ditch them, maybe have some swapped in and out of the team between missions?

We need to face the flood, Cortana’s led everyone back to quite possibly the only place with flood so it’s just something waiting to happen.

As for bosses, that scrapped Flood Juggernaut from Halo 2 as a mini-boss and possibly the Forerunner War Sphinx as a boss?

Gameplay wise I like Halo 5 so keep it similar and the REQ system can be kept.

12

All I want is ground pound and thrust still in it.

Sadly, you can’t please everyone.

Things I would like to see in Halo 6

Campaign:

I would like the focus to be on the Master Chief and Blue team for most of the game.

I haven’t read much lore so I can’t think of any, at present.

I would be pleased if the Brutes and Flood returned.

It’s possible we could fight the Covenant again, as there may be some remaining holdouts scattered across the galaxy.

I don’t know in the lore, but I’m curious as to what fighting a Forerunner tank would be like.

See above.

I would like to visit the Grunt Homeworld.

I personally would like Cortana to be killed, as she appears to now just want to use John for her own purposes.

I think short space battles, like the Reach mission “Long Night of Solace”, would be best rather than having them make up the majority of the campaign.

I would like Halo 6 to be chief’s finale, but I would prefer it if he wasn’t killed.

Multiplayer:

Game modes: Slayer, SWAT, BTB, and CTF, and maybe some other objective playlists.

I would keep the Req system unchanged.

I can’t think of any new armour I’d like added at the moment.

I’d like the same armour abilities as Halo 5.

N/A.

I’d like multiplayer maps based on sections from the campaign, instead of mainly forged maps.

I would like something like Spartan Ops, instead of fighting waves of enemies.

I’m not keen on vehicle maps, unless there were would be anti-vehicle weapons on the maps, so that players without vehicles would still be able to fight.

Pay to win mechanism
Garbage campaign
No splitscreen
Broken game
A game with little content

Why do a lot of people not like sprint?

Well if it is to be Chiefs finale, I hope they do it like Halo 3. It looks like he is dead but if you let the credits play you get an extra scene showing him alive.

More elements of Halo 5, less elements of older games

Another thing I forgot to ask… Should there be playable Elites?
