WHAT THE NEXT HALO GAME NEEDS

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

so lets cut to the chase. here is a list of things that i think halo 5 should have and what should be taken out.

competitive ranking system. (halo 2 or halo 3 style)

ranked and social playlists.

more balanced and tweaked weapons.( do NOT return the boltshot)

better maps and recreate old maps like guardian and lockout.(forged remakes dont count 343)

take out loadouts, armor abilities and perks.(if we wanted these we would just go play call of duty)

take out sprint

make more and better vehicles

better hit detection. (dont know how many times ive shot players in the head with no shields and they didnt die)

take out join in progress

bring back power up and power weapon locations. (camo is not a armor ability)

take out ordinance drops. (this isnt call of duty and ordinances makes the game unbalanced)

bring back droppable flag. (how many of you guys accidentally walked over the flag while you were in a battle?)

make better looking armor for multiplayer. (all the armor looks ugly)

bring back skulls to unlock cool armor

make a better and longer campaign. (no more button pushing missions please)

bring back firefight. (spartan ops was cool in the beginning and had potential, but it ended up getting to repetitive)

bring back descoping. (flinching is just rediculous)

put in more and better customization options for multiplayer. (nobody cares about unlocking emblems)

take out the exp system. (once again this isnt call of duty)

bring back theatre mode for campaign

this everything i can think of right now. if you guys have anything else to add to this list feel free to post it.

So many of these threads lol.

Here’s my input:

Remove PO
Keep loadouts (tweak further)
AA’s as map pickups, except sprint (cause we can sprint if we want)
WELL DESIGNED MAPS TO SUPPORT THIS

This but you shouldnt be able to drop the flag but you have to press X or whatever it is on your controller to pick it up. They couldnt add as much customisation in halo 4 due to hardware and the increased graphics taking up most of the power.

Keep the xp system, it wasnt invented by COD and if thats the only reason against it along with loadouts then your argument is invalid. The xp system needs to be tweaked but victory only was annoying for players who got bad teams and it took ages to level up, plus if people prefered FFA it took them even longer to level up with a lower chance of winning. Skill should be displayed and affect rank and victory should have an xp boost but, having WL ranking up is a poor decision.

Sprint is a god send and should also be kept since if maps are properly designed around it, it thrives. Plus it speeds up the game instead of it being slow paced and adds a layer of skill to the game. ‘Should I or shouldn’t I sprint?’ True people use it to run away but this can be altered by adding something which prevents people from sprinting if theyve only been sprinting for 3 seconds and they get shot

You’d be better off explaining why they shouldn’t be in and not a snide less then clever comment only 12 year olds use.</mark>

It’s okay and fine to have a differeing opinion but if you are going to make a post atleast do well thought out factual posts instead of shouting “REMOVE REMOVE COD COD COD.”

Remove the dmr ffs, a open big map like vallhalla got entirely ruined in halo 4 (ragnarok or whatever it’s called) because of everyone spawning with dmr’s, it turned in to a snipe fest with dmr’s, remove the god awful bloom, i thought this was clear after halo reac: NO MORE BLOOM! make the light rifle weaker at distant. the random drops on the maps are stupid, while i do like the idea it just doesn’t work, however don’t give us the old spawning system instead make it so that when the new weapons spawn they can be different and at different locations, not random: example: sniper in each spawn could change to binary rifle in between and then next time back to the normal snipers and then give us the beam rifles, rockets changing to fuel rod and forerunner cannon (forgot the name) and shotgun to sword etc. etc. other than that i agree with this list.

Every time I see one of these long lists or walls of text of just random features, Arby n the Chief: Premium Club instantly comes to my mind.

HALO 5 SHUD HAVE:
POWERFUL NEW FEETCHIRS
EVEN MORE POWERFUL NEW FEETCHIRS
NEWWER POWERFULL FEATCHIRS
NEWER FEETCHIRS THAT IS EVEN MORE POWERFUL
…AND MOAR

Making long (poorly structured) lists of what you want to see in Halo 5 doesn’t really leave much for discussion, except one-sentence criticisms of that list.

Well that’s a given.

> better maps and recreate old maps like guardian and lockout.

I’d rather see new maps and forge improved so that forge maps don’t look completely terrible.

> take out loadouts, armor abilities and perks.(if we wanted these we would just go play call of duty)

I think loadouts can work, I do agree armor abilities are bad in their current form, and perks are simply non-salvageable.

> take out sprint

I hate sprint, but this would also cause a -Yoink- storm.

> take out join in progress

Only an issue in competitive playlists, even then can be fixed.

> take out ordinance drops.

Agreed, they add nothing to the experience. The fact there can be eight power weapons at one point in the game should be bad for obvious reasons.

As for “JUST MAKE IT REFILL AMMO”, that just ruins the point of including it together. Why include a game mechanic if it has like no impact on gameplay at all?

> bring back skulls to unlock cool armor

Er…they were never used for this purpose but why not.

> take out the exp system.

It doesn’t really harm anything, Halo 3 had an exp system as well. The only issue is that unlocks are tied to it when they shouldn’t be.
