What new, unique concept would you add to Halo 5G?

I thought it’d be cool to put ourselves in the developers shoes, trying to make the game have new life. If you werent allowed to bring anything back, what new and unique feature would you add to halo 5? I know theres another thread on changes to halo 5, but SO many of those were ‘this returns’ and ‘bring back this’ that I wanted to make a seperate thread for completely NEW ideas.
Please dont say to bring anything back, that wouldnt be the point of this topic. Do something like:

  • Playable brutes/prometheans - Choice of spartan 2, 3, or 4 - Terrain sculpting tools - Forge texture paintingSomething that we have at least never seen before in halo. My personal choice would be localized gravity, where each player could ‘switch’ their gravity to walk on walls or ceilings; make people think in 3 dimensions.
    Actually, my other choice would be to have a multi-gametype custom games tool, so that if a team won a certain gametype it would smoothy transition into the next segment without people restarting, similar to invasion starting as a one team capture then turning into a one bomb assault.

I thought of something pretty simple but fun. Nothing game-changing or anything.

You know the armor effects in Reach that you could purchase with your cR? Like Grunt Birthday and those floating hearts and what not? Well I thought grenade effects would be cool. They would function exactly the same, but you could unlock grenades that burst into confetti or explode as tiny little mushroom clouds or a green cloud of nasty Flood stuff or whatever. I thought that could be fun.

Or tracer rounds in colors of your choice.

Of course, now that I think about it, if everyone had this going on, Halo 5 matches would look pretty ridiculous.

Maybe For unranked playlists? I’d personally like that.

Not an entirely original idea, but I’d like Halo to have player vs player space battles. It would be like playing Long Night of Solace from Reach with other people, except in this case shooting each other down would be the official goal now.

Variety of everything. More random things for custom games to be fun

Noble Difficulty
Basically it’s a chance for the developers to make whatever off the wall -Yoink- they want.
Think of like an entire difficulty inspired by the IWHBYD skull.

I got the idea from a custom remake / re-imagining of the Silent Cartographer Mission. Easy through Legendary have the same dialogue and mission structure as the original. In Noble Difficulty, the mission slowly and very subtly changes over time into a horror story / parody until the climax where you defeat yourself and retrieve the cursed “Silent Battle Rifle”.

I actually really like your idea of choosing between a Spartan 2,3 or 4, that would add another layer for customisation with different armours unlock able for both. Kudos!

Thats something they would have needed for mcc not for h5

Why couldn’t they have it in Halo 5? You’ll be playing as Spartan II’s and IV’s in campaign. And you can tell the difference in the styles of the armours, it would be a cool adition

The Spartan ivs aside were all from games that are on mcc games

Im not against it just saying it would have worked better for that game

If anything it would make less sense for it to be in te MCC, you play as Spartan II’s in every game except Halo 4. In Halo 5 it makes a lot of sense and would make a great adition

  • Matchmaking for custom games (no ‘invite only’ nonsense.) - Grunt Slayer. No precision weapons on map, and Sniper spawns replaced with half-empty Pistols. - Team ‘Skirmish’. Each team has 2 Hunters/Knights, 5 Elites/Spartans, and 9 Grunts in either Team Slayer or Territories. - Object scaling in Forge - Object welding in Forge - Weather and time of day, also in Forge.

Campaign matchmaking, it’s a great thing for people who have no friends in their country who play
