I would like to see the return of Arbiter and the Swords of Sanghelios along with half jaw.
Nee biomes would also be sick.
Classic weapons like the carbine, brute shot, plasma rifle would be cool.
Allied Jackals, T’vaoan (allied and enemy), allied brutes even.
Lasky and Roland to return
Atriox
The flood
Gauss hog
Anything else i missed that you guys would like to see?
I would love to see our multiplayer character get a turn in the spotlight at some point. Right now the primary excuse for keeping Elites out of MP is that MP is telling a Spartan story, if that doesn’t go anywhere then what was the point?
It would also be nice to see a pseudo-sequel story to ODST featuring the now Spartan Buck, Mickey, and Romeo. I need more Halo saxophone in my life.
A follow up to Infinite’s main campaign is clearly coming at some point, the Endless need their big reveal and Master Chief’s story isn’t over yet. It would also be cool after their big reveal to see the Banished’s perspective and play through a Brute campaign against them.
If we do get an Arbiter Campaign (which I’m 100% on board for) I hope they eventually follow up on the dropped Halo 2 ending where the Arbiter learns about the Elites’ place in a universe where Humanity was chosen as the inheritors of the Forerunner legacy. So long as it doesn’t just turn out that they are meant to be protectors of humanity as they once were to the prophets, that would be an insulting copout. Something more along the lines of them being purposely given freedom to choose their destiny, and forge their own path and legacy would be amazing. And likely exactly what they need to hear to finally unite their species and to have the confidence to truly grow into their own.
Agreed 100% on that final prt, that would make me so happy and it has the potential to bring Halo 2 down from jts throne IMO. If that was a story DLC, it would be my favorite halo story ever. Granted it is done right though
The one biggest thing I would like them to do is actually take time and tell what happened between 5 and infinite. How we got to that point. What happened to all the characters. Because as of right now they are acting like it never happened. Unless you go elsewhere besides the games.
My one biggest issue with 343 is they continue the story outside of the games and don’t say where to go for it. If you start a story in the games then you need to finish it in the games. Like with the Bungie games. You can’t make a game then continue the story and then act like everyone read every book and piece of material and skip ahead in the next game.
More than anything because this is a banished vs master chief campaign id like to see.
The brutes:
Decimus
Pavium
Voridus
To be expanded on. As well as the flood due to the set location of this halo. Lol I’d even love to see yap yap but I digress.
Those brutes left their mark in halo wars when the banished were introduced and were unique in their own ways, and I kinda expected to see them in the campaign.
Of course I’d love to see new biomes, more enemies like scarabs, more regions to explore, but I also would like more to do with valor, maybe have the ability to call a pelican and have it drop off some marines and a warthog while you’re in a sticky situation.
More access to banished vehicles from fob locations like wraiths.
And maybe allow us to customize master chiefs armor set if it’s going to be co op, though that may be to much it would still be cool.
The arbiter I would love to see in anyway.
An actual story that’s not 99% about past events
You can blame the vocal haters for wanting to throw out the story. They hated prometheans so much they never wanted to see them again. If I don’t like something I want to defeat them but that’s just me.
This franchise has such great lore but it’s not allowed to act apon any of it.
The worst thing about 343 is they overcompinsate for everything. The first guy that gets on here and complains about there new enemies they will just get written out of the story also.
Yeah see I’m fine with moving on from them as well cause I didn’t like them either, but it’s like you could of at least did a short 5 minute cutscenes showing what happened instead.if starting off at the end of the Battle.
It’s like 343 is too scared or too lazy to actually make each game connect to each other in the game. I’m going with lazy because they then turn around and go well here’s a book or a small story of what happened, but we’re not going to actually tell anyone that it’s there and we’ll just let the YouTube guys explain it because we don’t want to do the work.
I’d like to see:
Honestly I’d probaby ditch the open world idea and just go for well designed sandboxy leveels with direction. Open world clearly drained too many resources and complicated halo standards.
So much this.
I would have preferred a cutscene and like two missions to just end the forerunner saga. That’s all they had to do.
Yeah and I would have been happy with that as well instead of what we got which was them just ignoring two games worth of stuff happened and then just acting like the whole Cortana Arc didn’t matter.
Snow
Sand
Swamps
Plasma rifles
Brute shots
Fuel rod guns
The main reason to why they are doing this, in my eyes, is because of all the backlash they recieve and that’s the way they are fixing it.
Let me explain:
People are now asking to have the multiplayer spartan more involved in a story, which doesn’t have to be the main story, just any story for them. 343i already tried it with Spartan Ops, they even planned seasons for it. People didn’t like it (bad execution mostly), so now we have a lame Academy which “story” is just the tutorial.
In Halo 5 we got a story from the perspective of other Spartans. People didn’t like it, they wanted Master Chief back. Now they got exactly that, but people are left wondering “What happened to that part pf the story?”
The way I see it, they are listening tp the fans, but they still wanna wrap up the stories. If fans don’t like them in game, they just wrap it up in a novel or comic.
I remember being really invested on Spartan Ops, even when the maps were repetitive. I wanted Season 2 to come out with 10 more episodes. I liked it a lot, but it was dropped because it wasn’t well recieved. And now, now we are longing for something close to that…
More so, I like the Prometheans as a faction, more badies to fight. They didn’t look Forerunner enough, but I liked them. Even more with the addition of the Soldiers, 'cause now fighting Knights felt more like fighting Hunters than overbulkied Elites.
But people had to hate on that too. I would bring them back with a change in aesthetics, to fit the now consolidated Forerunner aesthetics.
I was all up for having playable Spartan, Elites and Promethean Soldiers, it would have been a dream come true. Spartans would sprint, Elites would evade, and Soldiers would teleport. That would open the customization options to a whole new level. But people had to hate on Prometheans…
More about the endless and Atriox ofc. But I really want Halsey and Lasky to return.
Some more environmental variety. More guns and vehicles preferably some classics.
I hope the weapon will become less naive.
Less over dramatic/cheesy/cringy dialogue.
Just great stories really and I’m happy.
Snow biome (like Halo CE), Desert biome and the return of more classic weapons
I would like to see FREE DLC that fixes many of the problems in current campaign and maybe even adds some to it.
Lot’s of flood in the snow biome would be great too. Imagine having to delve deep into a cavern, cave or deep under ground fore runner area that is infested with flood in order to acquire special items and intel
Imagine if the vehicles were weathered also, Frosty and frozen over. Been sitting there for six months and UNSC weapons and assets scattered in the snow. Maybe even some marines too (That the flood didn’t get). The spartan’s should also look weathered as they lay in that place for a long time
Infinite does a pretty solid job covering that between the audio logs and the digital memory fragments we see throughout the campaign’s story missions.
