What would be your idea of a spin-off Halo game?
I’m mainly asking for any idea other than the main story campaign games. Ex. Halo 1,2,3,4,5…
This could be an alternate story in the past or present Halo universe with possibly different characters or even some familiar characters from a different angle. Maybe even slightly altered game mechanics that compensate for a unique setting or character type. Ex. Halo Reach, Halo: ODST
This could also be just a complete change of direction that brings an entirely new Halo experience. This could be anything from 2D to third-person. Something that’s connected to the Halo universe but is different from the ‘traditional’ Halo experience. Ex. Halo Wars, Halo Spartan Assault/Strike
What’s your Halo game/experience idea?
I wouldn’t call it my dream, but it would be a game i’m instantly sold on
Halo: Covenant
You pick up with the Arbiter and follow him from the end of Halo 3 through his reappearance in Halo 5. Obviously cloaking would be a thing. He would be facing the remains of the brutes and covenant, and i’s sure a flood spore or two is left in the galaxy.

That would be intriguing for sure… I like it

Shut up and take my money!
My halo spin off game would be based on private military corporations and mercenary groups fighting over territories in the outer colonies after the war with the main cast being rogue spartan 4’s looking to make there own army, that’s as far as I can think but it would be a good backdrop to bring back some old weapons like the ma37 (Halo reach assault rifle), the reach dmr, halo 2 br and the ma5k which was never in any halo games.
A Halo: Fall of Reach game would be interesting.
You would start as a child before you get abducted and would go through until you completed your first mission in Mjolnir armor. Start as John 117 playing King-of-the-Hill, get kidnapped, prove yourself in all the training, go through augmentation, missions, get promotions, and end with the first Mjolnir armor mission where Sam doesn’t make it.
It could be a fun journey if done right

I could see some potential with that. Would have to be fleshed out well but again the potential is there
I would love a game based on Sgt. Johnson and his background and how he became the almighty one we remember him as today!

A game where you play as a Marine on the front line on, say, Arcadia, or another frontline inner colony.
-Base mechanics are based on Halo 5, but heavily stripped down. So players can sprint and clamber, but little else. Health is by a HP bar and medkits. The player cannot take much damage without dying.
-Missions similar to The Division, and primarily focused on rescuing civilians or holding locations against Covenant forces.
-Story focused on dealing with the realities of war from the perspectives of someone who isn’t “the conquering hero”, in a similar manner to Star Wars Battlefront: Twilight Company.
Maybe one about the Spartan IIIs ?
I’d like a spin-off game following another team of Spartan-II’s. Or single S-II. We know that Blue Team aren’t the only S-II’s left and I’d like to see what shenanigans they’ve been up to. Yeah HW2 is coming out later this year but I’m more of an FPS guy than an RTS guy.
I’d like a ODST game but with gameplay like The Division, so 3rd person mechanics. I think the new gameplay style would work well with Halo as it would feel more personal as you could actually see your character, as well as customise what you look like (similar to how the ODST’s from Halo 3: ODST all look slightly different) and use different guns and attachments, like what is in Warzone in Halo 5.
Mine would be the Spartans being the bad guys and the Covenant being the flood and the Prometheus being the good guys!

Something like this for sure. It’d be cool if we could fight Insurrectionists and Covenant and make it far darker than even Reach.
I want a halo that just contains the Covenant while you play as the arbiter or some other Elite and follow their story through some canon lore in an epic 20 mission long campaign with 100% sangheili multiplayer.
Also, this should be in the General Discussion section.
(Even though it would get no attention there.)
Something like what I thought ODST was gonna be. I thought it would be a stealth-focused game, where engaging against the Covenant alone would be tantamount to suicide. Instead, we got “Halo 3: no shield recharge noises edition”.
A survival-horror game following a few survivors of the Argent Moon. It would go through them trying to escape the virus, and then their fight with the Kig-Yar pirates. They would die eventually of course, because there were no Argent Moon survivors.

I have to agree with this guy. Halo: ODST wasn’t what we were all expecting from it.
