Lacks diversity in weapons and all the weapons are way too similar, some weapons like the AR and SMG just shouldn’t have a scope.- The announcer is kind of annoying and I liked the cheesier announcer from Halo 2 and 3 better.- Way too many ping noises.- Prophet’s bane is way too bright.- The fact that we haven’t seen any vehicles or many covenant and forerunner weapons bothers me, these things make Halo stand out from the other shooters and it would be sad if 343 just put on their sweaty MLG pants and ditched them completely. I’m already still pissed off that we can’t be an elite anymore.- I don’t like the shield recharging sound, it’s too different to the iconic low pitched sound.- The new rocket launcher looks so crap.- The respawn music is annoying as hell.- The sniper rifle looks like a camera again.Positive thoughts on game so far:
The new Spartan abilities look awesome and I can’t wait to try them out and be ground pounding on kids, it truly is a step up from tea bagging.- Smart scope is really smooth and clean and I’m so glad it’s not like traditional ADS in the way that you have to use it to be accurate.- Everything is very equal and fair starts are great.Suggestions and improvement’s 343i can make:
Make the weapons less balanced, because we have equal starts it’s very balanced anyway so the weapons should be very different and I want to feel more powerful when I pick up a BR in comparison to an AR or SMG.- The game needs more colour, too many dark sombre places makes me feel bored.- I want to see more customization, weapon skins from Halo 4 were a nice touch. How good would it be if our Spartan chatter was customizable like the firefight voice and we could go out on the battlefield as Sergeant Johnson, or even if we could make our own Spartan 4 and change the personality and voice and stuff and make our Spartan stance with Kinect.- I loved the style of Halo Reach, that was Halo, they need to bring back all the old ranks like army ranks and stuff and the top rank was Legend or something it was just epic. Halo Reach medals looked mad.- I think the BR cross-hair in Halo 5 needs to go back to what it’s always been it looks too different.- Please bring back Halo Reach armour. Halo 4 armour was way too smooth and slim and space age, the Spartans almost looked like action figures, but in Halo Reach the armour had scratches, dents, scuffs, belts of grenades, bullet shells, knives and freaking robot arms. Then the helmets had attachments and all this other stuff like the Emile helmet and the skull astronaut thingy, it was awesome. Halo 4’s style to Halo Reach’s style was like when iOS 7 came out for iPhone.- I’m disappointed that armor abilities aren’t coming back because it was so fun to jetpack and all those different things but I also liked equipment from Halo 3 a lot as well and that was balanced because nobody spawned with different equipment so maybe if equipment is brought back some of the armor abilities can turn into equipment- And finally give us some -Yoink!- vehicles and big team battle and covenant and forerunner weapons up in here! How awesome would it be to have every vehicle/weapon/power up/forge block/grenade etc from past halo games back once again and working better than ever!

> I agree with most of what you say here except that the weapons should be less balanced, I think the balance is really good like how the lightrifle is medium to long-range and seems to be effective against the sniper. The main point I would like to really push is that they should bring back as much customization as possible FOR CUSTOM GAMES PRIMARILY but I mean ARMOUR ABILITYS, VEHICLES, HALO 3 STYLE EQUIPMENT, FORGE, FIREFIGHT and DETAILED GAME TYPE CUSTOMIZATION. I think these things open up the halo experience so much more, I disagree that “halo has a new set of teeth” if the take away the armour abilitys that were already there, I’m not saying add then to competitive match making just have the content available to keep the legacy of halo fresh and fill the game with content. I hope people can see what I’m trying to get across, some might say I’m an agent of chaos to go against the fine tuned competitive balance 343 are going for but if they take away the older content of halo then eventually it won’e feel like halo anymore, just some unoriginal modern firstperson shooter.
