Community Collected Thoughts:
Campaign:
-
Way Better Story than Halo 5 - Halo 5 failed as a halo story because of the poor narrative and the lack of influence the character has on the story. Seriously think about it, if Locke never chased chief and chief never chases Cortana, cortana would still have all the guardians. I recommend watching “The Act Man” Campaign video on YouTube for more info.
-
Better Mission Design - All halo 5 missions feel very similar and there is little diversity. Also the Kraken fight was boring because the Kraken itself wasn’t an enemy like the scarab. The scarab itself actually moved and fired at you during combat! More diverse mission design is needed
-
Longer Campaign - Self Explanatory
-
Abandon the Squad System - Self Explanatory
-
Abandon Hub World Style Missions - There were 3 missions in halo 5 that are very goofy and don’t support anything in the story. I would not have minded if they were just the beginning of the missions instead of being seperste.
-
More Involvement - I hate when the cool parts are cutscenes or QTE’s. Seriously, why can’t we play the interesting parts. This also would make the missions more special and diverse. If we could have fought Locke/chief that would have been special!
Multiplayer
-
More Playlists AT LAUNCH!!! -
Modes that most wouldn’t think of that need to be in for customs games or matchmaking at launch.
Swat ( and all variants )
infection
race
One Flag CTF
king of the Hill
Action Sack
Oddball
grifball
VIP
Juggernaut
And More! -
More Matchmaking Playlists AT LAUNCH
instead of just the Breakout Slayer Arena and Swat modes at launch, add more! -
improve upon Warzone - Warzone is great! Add more cool features.
-
Social Matchmaking playlists - add a variant to each gamemode that is social and isn’t ranked
-
Voting- Voting or Veto
Custom Games
-
More Custom Games options - Fiesta should be removed as a seperste gamemode and should be replaced with the option to MAKE weopons random.
-
Custom Games Voting - self explanatory
Forge
-
AI forging - If we could forge enemies THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!!!
-
Nothing else. Forge is great as it is!
Miscellaneous ( IMPORTANT )
-
Split Screen - HALO NEEDS SPLIT SCREEN!
-
Remove the Req System!!! - We need to EARN our items! Maybe replace the Random factor with actually earning the items through achievement or weekly and daily challenges!
Weekly/Daily Challenges would be GREAT!
-
Stronger UI - Less glitchy UI
-
More Epic Style Music - Halo 5 had great music but it lacked the Halo 2 EPIC FACTOR.
-
PLAYABLE ELITES!!! - Halo Fans Crave the ability to finally again be an elite.
-
Campaign Matchmaking - self explanatory
-
Campaign Theater - Self explanatory
-
More Vehicles and Weopons - Self explanatory
-
IN GAME FILE BROWSER - self explanatory
-
In depth Halo Reach Style Armor Customization- We can only change Visor, Armor, and Helmet… What???
-
Better Controler Settings - be able to fully customize your buttons and what you want where in game.
-
Less Cartoonish Art Design - Everything is glossy in Halo 5. We need more realism and grittiness to our environments like Halo 1-3 and Reach.
-
Better use of Atmospheric music in campaign- LateNightGaming has a series called Painting with music in halo 5. Basically that is what we need.
-
Bigger Environments and Maps - Halo missions and maps seem linear and very small. Most halo 5 fights in the campaign take place in a fight arena with a lot of artificial cover. These areas need to be large and more explorable.
-
more Promethean Classes and Vehicles - Promethean Mage and a Promethean LightBike are some ideas I had.
-
More TEAM ORIENTED vehicles. - self explanatory
-Done-
