To fix TU, 343 must:
100% Damage and 100% melee BUT have 90% damage resistance for 4 shot kill.
90% shield recharge rate. This would make it unnecessary to nerf armor lock as shields would recharge slower.
110% move speed and 110% jump height.
ZERO bloom.
Pistol is a pickup item that will spawn frequently.
Spawn with DMR and Assault Rifle for Team Slayer
Spawn with Assault Rifle and Plasma pistol for Rumble Pit.
Make vehicles spawn in 4 vs 4 matches. 1 warthog per team, 3 Mongoose and 1 or 2 Ghosts. (medium to large maps only)
Create more forge world maps for more play lists, Infection is too repetitive and most maps that are being made for other play lists are too small and cramped.
Make Sprint Last longer. These are Spartans, I'm sure they would be able to sprint for a LOT longer.
Evade is Perfect.
Armor Lock can stay if there is 90% shield recharge rate.
Jet pack has to have a slower recharge rate.
Active camo is good.
Hologram needs to look a lot more like the actual spartan.
I have put these stats into a custom game type and I built a 5 minute forge map with 1 Ghost, 3 mongoose and 1 Warthog per team. I got 7 of my friends and holy hell it was SO fun. We also turned off armor abilities on a different game and it played a lot like the goodness of halo 3 combined with the goodness of halo 1. I would like people to give me their thoughts and maybe experiment on their own. You can also download a Zero Bloom custom game type. I will also upload the game type into my file share for you guys to play with. PM me if you want my gamertag to download the GT or just make it yourself.
Thanks.
