RZI Productions

This is The RZI Guy, and here is where I want you to submit your wants and dont wants in Halo 5: Guardians in a Halo Project called "The Mombasa Project" or Project: Mombasa", based on New Mombasa in Halo 2. This is for a hypothetical Halo game where we have almost everything we could ever want in a Halo game. Basically a huge wishlist for Halo 5, but with a lot more stuff with a lot more detail than any other Halo 5 wishlist. Let me know it the comments here as I will read all of them, and please keep it as short as you can. If I like your idea, and if it works, I will add it in to the wishlist and give you credit for your awesome ideas in the credits section at the bottom to let everyone know that you contributed. So tell me what you want and dont want in Halo 5: Guardians

All of these are the thoughts and ideas that i've had for Halo 5. It has taken me months to research some info find out what people want, has taken even longer to make this list and balance it out. if you have any other suggestions, and if I like them, I will update it and give you credit for your awesome ideas. If you like it and even if you don't like it, or just want to add a few changes to it, please give me your thoughts. Any positive and negative feedback is acceptable so please give any ideas so we can possibly make Halo 5 the best it can be. One person does not make a game, one company does not make a game, it is a collaberation of many great minds who can work out there thoughts, visions and ideas for something amazing and make it into reality. Please keep in mind that "None of this is Confirmed in Halo 5". The only thing that is confirmed for Halo 5's Multiplayer is that it has 60 FPS and has Dedicated Servers. With that being said, here is everything that I think would make Halo 5 Perfect, and when I talk about everything, I mean "Everything". From some minor stuff to the major things that people want in Halo 5 or want removed from Halo 5.

Halo: Escalation is out now and that might be there way of bringing Thel into Halo 5. Lets hope so. By the way, In Halo: Escalation, Thel 'Vadamee looks f%#king awsome! It would also be cool if 343 Industries were the only one's allowed to have the Arbiter's new Golden Armor from Halo: Escalation into Multiplayer, even including his doarmir-fur cloak. It would be like the old Halo 3 days when Bungie were the only ones alloyed to have Flaming Recon Armor, unless a Halo player did something truly amazing. But I think this is something that should be an armor permutation for 343 only, but I think on the anniversary of Halo 5, we should all get the Arbiters Armor for 24 hours to celebrate. Again like when Bungie gave us Flaming Recon for a day back in 2010. 343 please consider this! ----------------------------------------------- Matchmaking Halo 5 Matchmaking Playlists will be split into multiple seperate playlists including The Arena, Ranked, Social, Community, Cooperative and Custom Game Matchmaking. Custom Loadouts are only in the Infinity Playlists in the Social playlist, with a few exceptions. You'll see later. The Arena: In the Arena, it has pretty much the same rules as Ranked playlist except you are NOT given a skill level on your performence. Halo 5 players will instead be ranked like how the Arena did in Halo: Reach with Steel, Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Onyx. There is no sprint in the Arena. Ranked: In the Ranked Playlist, it will only have the Halo 3-like set up with everyone spawning with the same Primary, secondary and grenade type, but instead of having Equipment scattered across the Map, it will be armor abilities. Sprint WILL NOT be in the Ranked Playlist, satisfying both players that like or hate Sprint. Resupply becomes avaliable to everyone in both the Ranked and Social Playlists like it should have been in Halo 4. To me personally, having the Resupply perk in Halo 4 become a perk and not being given to every player like it's always been from Halo Combat Evolved to Halo: Reach is rediculous. Social: The Social Playlist will have playlists with Custom Loadouts, like Halo 4 but "without tactical and support packages", with starting armor abilities and with armor abilities being scattered around the map. The Social Playlist will also have playlists with Preset Loadouts like Halo: Reach with starting armor abilities and with armor abilities being scattered around the map as well. The Social Playlist will have Sprint and it would be a default ability like it was in Halo 4. Players will also have more options as to the type of gameplay they'd prefer to play in Halo 5 via the social settings options. There are four different options in the social settings panel that lets you decide between Teamwork, Tone, Chattiness, and Motivation. These options will let you make decisions like whether you'd like to play fun or competitive games, quiet vs. chatty games, polite or rowdy games, and Team Player vs. Lone Wolves. You can also set it to find players that use the same language as you. The social settings options will make sure that gamers are matched up with other gamers that prefer the same options and will make matchmaking in Halo 5 more enjoyable. It must also be more much affective in Halo 5 than it was in Halo: Reach. After the player finds a match, all players in the lobby are given the choose between 6 maps. The veto system was introduced in Halo 3 and gave players the option to "veto" a map in favor of another randomly selected map instead. Halo 5 would feature a new Veto system which will let players choose from six maps, and if most players voted the seventh choice "non of the above", they will be given six more maps. You can choose "non of the above" 3 times only and then they would vote for the last six maps that pop up. If there is a tie, there would be a tie breaker to choose between the two. If there is a tie again, then the game would randomly choose which map to choose. After choosing the map, the players then choose game type to go with the map they choose. The time it takes to vote is 20 seconds so it doesnt take too long in the lobby. After a game, the player is offered to stay or find other players. The Veto system in Halo 5 will make matchmaking more fun, by allowing gamers more options of which maps and gametypes to play, making the experience much more enjoyable than ever. Matchmaking and Custom Games would be able to support up to 32 players in one lobby. Big Team War in both Ranked and Social would have two teams of 16 with a total of 32 players. They would only have large maps and maps created in forge world maps. Maybe in the future Halo can have 64 players, I don't see Halo 5 being able to support 64 players in one game, but sometime in the future perhaps. Active Roster returns and will show you see who is online and let you see everything that their Halo 5 friends are doing: including game types, party details, playlists, and join them if avaliable. Another feature is queued joining. In Halo 5 if a player sends and invite and it's accepted, they'd instantly join their friends as soon as they became available. ----------------------------------------------- The Arena Play a certain number of games daily and on a monthly basis to be ranked here.

Team Size: 1-2 Max Party Size: 2 Max Players: 10 ----------------------------------------------- Custom Game Matchmaking Halo 5 would have the regular Matchmaking System that we have now like with every other Halo, but I think it could also have the feature to let you choose what map and what gametype you want to play. Then it searches for other players that want the same map and gametype. Halo 5 is confirmed to have dedicated servers so maybe we can create our own servers with a name, description of whats gametypes it offers and how many players can join. There would be two playlists for this. • 1) it would only be default Maps and default Gametypes giving you the normal amount of XP for playing it as it normally would. • 2) it would be for Custom Maps and Custom Gametypes and you would get no XP as it would be for players that want to have Custom Games and want to find other players to play those custom games as it can be hard to find enough people to play Custom Games. Plus there would be people that purposly try to rig the map so they win, so again, you would not get any XP so there wouldn't be a reason to cheat or rig the map. This would help solve both finding people for your custom games and others players that try to cheat. ----------------------------------------------- Multiplayer Gameplay In Halo 5 Multiplayer, you have the basic Shielding System and motion tracker like in Halo 2, 3 and 4. You can hold two weapons, four grenade types with up to 2 each, and one armor ability. The HUD has a compass above the shields like in Halo: Reach. It also shows 2 weapons on the top right of the HUD and shows 4 grenade slotes in the top left side. You can duel wield and sprint (sprint is only avaliable in the Social Playlist) and you can sprint while duel wielding without dropping your weapon. Here are some other small details I want in Halo 5… • HUD Design: I would also like the HUD to look something similar to Project Contingency's HUD design. Or at the very least show us every bit of information that the HUD shows, like grenade capacity, service tag, grenade type, primary and secondary, ammo capacity, range of the motion tracker and a compass above or below the Shields. Heres an image of the HUD… https://trello-attachments.s3.amazonaws.com/51fae64c8abcceb07700027c/52844947607b9f8b24000570/40377bc990e5d4f592fa1839711f0e81/hud_final.png • Duel Wield melee: When meleeing another player while duel wielding, you do not drop your other duel wield weapon. You can only drop it if you melee the air without hitting another player because it always sucked when you melee another player while duel wielding and then have to pick them up again. • Shooting while scoped: I loved that in Halo 4 that when you are scoped in and someone shoots at you, you can still shoot at them while scoped. That really got annoying in other Halo games because I had to have keep getting in and out of scope. That is an addition that I think should return. • Nightvision: When you press up on the d-pad, you turn on night vision mode that lasts for about 30 seconds. There are triangles that appear over your teammates at all times and there are death indicators that appear where your teammates died that lasts for about five seconds. In the Classic Playlists in the Community Playlist. You have a flash light instead of nightvision. • Joining Midgame: Players can join in midgame, but only in the first few minutes of the Game. I also want to be able to move when looking at the scoreboard. Plus the names on the scoreboard shouldn't have everyones name in all Caps, it should be presented how the gamertag is. Also show what our emblem is on the scoreboard like in Halo 2, 3 and Reach. Hitmarkers returns, but there is No Grenade Indicators. • 1st and 3rd Person Driving: When driving a vehicle, air or ground, by pressing the thumbstick you can switch between 1st Person or 3rd Person when Driving a vehicle like in the Battlefield games. Creating a whole new driving experience in Halo. The same can be done when holding the Flamethrower or any Covenant or UNSC Turret, by pressing the thumbstick, you can switch between 1st and 3rd Person. • Destructible Environments: Multiplayer should also have destructible environments, wall panals can fall of, man cannons can be disabled for a bit or even destroyed. I dont think buildings should be able to be destroyed in multiplayer, it seems to much for me. Halo 5 should feature also have some player-triggered environmental hazards like floors that can be electricized like in Vertigo in Halo 4, and being able to open doors and activate traps with a button, a good example is the Map High Ground from Halo 3. Another thing is that in the Halo 4 Campaign level Infinity, when driving the Mantis, you could destroy some of the bridges inside the Infinity. Perhapes something similar could be seen in multiplayer. • Red and Blue Team Colors: In Halo Waypoints video, "Halo 4 First Look", they showed the very first Halo 4 gameplay, the red and blue armor colors were kinda dark. I really liked how dark they made the red and blue color. Then in the final game, they made it too bright to me. I didn't like how bright they made the red and blue color for the Spartans in Halo 4, they had the same problem for me in Halo 3, but I never had this problem in Halo CE, Halo 2 and Halo: Reach. In Halo 5, I want the red and blue Spartans to colored dark like how it was in the video. I know it's not important, but for me its a nitpick. Halo 4 First Look • Reticles: 343 made many changes to the weapon and vehicle reticles in Halo 4, few of them I didnt mind like the warthog, the scorpion, the Pistol and I especially love the new BR reticle. But many of the new ones I didnt like, especially how the Ghost and Banshee were the exact same for some reason. They need to bring back all of the original reticles for every vehicle and weapon. The only Halo 4 reticles that I would like to keep the same are… • Battle Rifle • Designated Marksman Rifle • Magnum • Covenant Carbine • Fuel Rod Gun • Warthog • Scorpion Every other weapon or vehicle reticle from Halo 4 not mentioned, needs to go back to how it was before. ----------------------------------------------- Custom Games Halo 5 would be able to support custom games, and be able to test out your maps with AI that need to be really smart. Or could could just play custom games with AIs if you dont have Xbox Live. Pretty simple. ----------------------------------------------- Online Ranking System Halo 3's True Skill ranking system for its matchmaking on a per-playlist basis. A linear measure of a player's experience with the matchmade portion of the game and each particular playlist is also tracked (denoted as EXP). The True Skill Ranking System returns, but it will be as hard or even more difficult than it was in Halo 3. but like before, I want to have an emblem that goes with that rank like in Halo 3 and Reach. In Halo 4 there were no emblems for the rank that you were at, only a number that you ranked at, between 1-130. They need to bring back emblems for every rank available in Halo 5. ----------------------------------------------- Multiplayer Ranks 1. Recruit 2. Apprentice Grade 0 Grade 1 3. Private Grade 0 Grade 1 4. Corporal Grade 0 Grade 1 5. Sergeant Grade 0 Grade 1 Grade 2 6. Gunnery Sergeant Grade 0 Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 Grade 4 7. Lieutenant Grade 0 Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 Grade 4 8. Warrant Officer Grade 0 Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 9. Captain Grade 0 Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 10. Major Grade 0 Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 11. Lt. Colonel Grade 0 Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 12. Commander Grade 0 Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 13. Colonel Grade 0 Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 14. Brigadier Grade 0 Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 15. General Grade 0 Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 Grade 4 16. Field Marshall 17. War Hero 18. Mythic 19. Legend 20. Mythic 21. Forerunner 22. Reclaimer 23. Inheritor ----------------------------------------------- Custom Loadouts In Halo 5, custom loadouts are only in the Infinity Playlists in the Social Playlist, except for a few minor exceptions. You can have… One Primary Weapon One Secondary Weapon One Grenade Type One Armor Ability Thats it, there are absolutely no Tactical or Support Packages and Resupply is given to all players in all playlists. You can have up to 20 Loadouts, 10 for you Spartan and 10 for you Elite. Elite Gametypes are availiable in the Infinity Playlists. When customizing your loadout, you cannot set your primary or secondary to duel wielding. All non-custom loadout armor abilities are scattered around the map and most armor abilities in the Social Playlist have unlimited use. These are the weapons, grenades and the only armor abilities available your custom loadouts UNSC: • Assault Rifle • Battle Rifle • Designated Marksman Rifle • Submachine Gun (Duel Wield) • Magnum (Duel Wield) Covenant: • Storm Rifle • Covenant Carbine • Plasma Rifle (Duel Wield) • Brute Plasma Rifle (Duel Wield) • Brute Spiker (Duel Wield) • Plasma Pistol (Duel Wield) Forerunner: • Suppressor • Light Rifle • Bolt Shot (Duel Wield) • Forerunner SMG (Duel Wield) Grenades: • Frag • Plasma • Spike • Pulse Armor Abilities: • Thruster Pack • Evade • Jet Pack • Bubble Shield • Regeneration Field • Hologram • Slide *New* • Jump Pack *New* • Repair Kit *New* You can have weapon skins like in Halo 4. Weapon skins return in the Infinity gametypes in matchmaking, and in Firefight (343 said they have no plans for Spartan Ops Season 2 so there will probably be no Spartan Ops in Halo 5). Also for weapon skins I want the ability to change the colors of the camo on the weapons. An example would be the DMR MONOCLE skin from the Champions Bundle, you could change it from being gold and black to blue and white. And having every weapon skins from Halo 4 brought back along with a ton of new Halo 5 weapon skins. Another idea is that maybe we could choose different designs for each weapon. Like being able to choose between the Halo: Reach and Halo 4 Assault Rifle designs or the Halo 3 and Halo 4 Battle Rifle Designs. There would be no difference in gameplay other than having a different layout of the weapon and also having a weapon skin to go with whichever weapon design you choose. With all of these ideas, have multiple weapon layouts for each weapon, multiple weapon skins and choosing what color you want for that skin, this will give the player a ton of varietiy and customization, more so than ever before. ----------------------------------------------- Customization Armor Customization To unlock armor in Halo 5, you should have to complete difficult challanges, get achievements in campaign and multiplayer, and complete vidmasters challanges in the campaign, which I think needs to return. I also think they need to make more vidmasters than Bungie did with Halo 3 and ODST, perhaps playing the campaign solo on Legendary could give you an awesome set of armor. Finding skulls and terminals in the campaign and any other campaign related achievements could also unlock armor in multiplayer. Now some armor could be unlocked in multiplayer, but they need to take time and real effort to try to unlock them. In Halo 4 it was too easy, in Halo 5, it needs to have a challange in trying to get the Armor you want. Also many of the old multiplayer armor from Halo 3 and Halo: Reach that were forgotten in Halo 4 needs to make a return. Out of all the armor in the past Halo games, these are all the armor confingurations that I think need to return in Halo 5. Halo 3 Armor • Mark VI • Mark V • EVA (Halo 3 Design) • CQB • EOD • Hayabusa • ODST Helmet (Halo 3 Design) • Marathon Helmet • Rogue Helmet Halo: Reach Armor • Recon • CQC • Hazop • Operator • Scout (Reach Design) • Commando • JFO • Grenadier •Sniper Sholders • Jump Jet Halo 4 Armor • Recruit • Warrior • Air Assault • Soldier • Scout (Halo 4 Design) • Hayabusa (Unfinished Halo 4 Design) • Aviator • Deadeye Helmet • Defender • EVA (Halo 4 Design) • War Master • Orbital • EOD (Halo 4 Design) • Pathfinder • Rogue • C.I.O • Venator • Raider • Scanner • Strider • Mark V (Halo 4 Design) • ODST (Halo 4 Design) • Prefect • Ricochet • Vanguard Plus all Halo Forearms, legs and I also want Halo 5 to give us all Visor Colors. Any color that we want for our visor. Now all of these armor pieces do need to be designed to look like Spartan-IV Armor and not just having the exact same design. Plus any new Armor they bring into Halo 5. Keep in mind, I think they should keep multiple designs for some armor configurations like Scout, Mark V, ODST, EOD, EVA to satisfy players that like one one armor design from one game over another. An example would be me prefering the Halo 4 Scout Helmet over the Halo: Reach Scout Helmet. All armor from past Halo games before Halo 4 would have to be updated slightly to fit with the Spartan-IV design. I also want to be able to have armor attachments like you could do to your helmets in Halo: Reach. Maybe we could choose what spot we want a knife on our Spartan, plus adding other armor attachments like Halo: Reach did, but add them to different spots like our leg, helmet, chest or arms. In Halo 5, I would like to transfer my Halo 4 armor configuration into Halo 5. The armor configuration you have in Halo 4 would transfer over and only that armor set would transfer, no other armor set would transfer over so you have to choose wisely as to what armor that you liked in Halo 4 to bring over to Halo 5. Although the idea of transfering you're armor to Halo 5 is probably just me, which I definetly understand if some people don't like the idea. Its just my Halo 4 Spartan just looks perfect to me, I want to be able to bring it into Halo 5, so I hope you can understand. Heads Up Display Customization I would also like to customize the HUD (Heads Up Display) for our Spartans and Elites. Change the layout of it, and the color of it. I want to be able to have a Blue visor for my helmet while being able to have a green HUD, or have a red visor and have a blue visor. Have any visor color and I mean "every" visor color and have a HUD with a different color. Halo 4 only had 17 different visor colors, I want every basic color you can have, plus have a different effect on the visor. Like how Engineer had blue and purple, you could have any two different colors. And what Blindside and Legendary had. I also want to move around each part of the hud like moving the shield indicator to the top right of the screen or moving the motion tracker to the top left if you want to do so. I think we should even be able to change the color of the reticle when you look at a friendly, so when you look at a teammate, it could turn blue instead of green if you want. If you look at a enemy player, it could purple instead of red if you want it like that. You could even set it to have no display at all, no shield indicator, no reticle, or even no motion tracker if you want. This would be for the hardcore players that want a hard challenge when playing multiplayer. You could change the shape of the player on the motion tracker from a triangle to a circle if you want and even remove or add the pulse that the motion tracker does in every Halo game, although Halo 4 didn't have this. There would be pretty much no purpose to this, but it would make things even more interesting. Emblem Customization Like in both of the Cod: Black Ops games, I think that you should be able to create and customize your own emblem. Now of course, there will be people who will make sexual pictures or anything else that is inappropriate, so while you can make your own emblem, anyone who makes an inappropriate emblem in Halo 5 will lose there ability to create another custom emblem and will go back to Halo's original way of making a Halo emblem. You can choose to have the classic way of making an emblem if you choose to do so. You can also have up to 10 different Emblems for yourself and one emblem for each clan that you're in. I'll get clans later. ----------------------------------------------- Elites in Multiplayer Elites Return in Halo 5 multiplayer with their own customizable armor and are playable with Spartans in Team Games just like in Halo 3 with no difference except size, so playing as an Elite is your own choice and your own risk. You can also choose to play as a Spartan or an Elite at the beginning of a game, like choosing a side in Star Wars Battlefront, instead of having to switch between Spartans and Elites before the Game like in Halo 3, you can choose before your first spawn. When the Elites are teaming with Spartans like in Halo 3, the Elites start off with the same weapon as them, except for a few gametypes in which they can start with a Storm Rifle, Plasma Rifle, Covenant Carbine etc. I also want to have the Plasma Repeater to return from Halo: Reach, but I think is should now be the Covenant's version of the LMG. Elites have the default ability to Sprint if they are in the Social Playlist but will not be able to sprint in the Arena and Ranked Playlist as there will be no sprint in the Ranked Playlist. Elites are in both Ranked and Social Playlists. Elite Playlists would also be a choice in the Social Playlist for everyone who wants to play as an Elite only. When playing as a Spartan in Halo 5, if you look at a teammate, it shows green on you're reticle and motion tracker. When playing as an Elite, it shows blue on the reticle and motion tracker. Elite Customization When customizing the you're Elite for multiplayer, I would like the ability to change the race and color of the Elites. Kind of like how humans have whites, blacks, asians just to name a few. I would like to have my Elite to either have the rough looking skin the Elites had in Halo 4 or the smooth blackish grey color the Elites had in Halo: Reach; and to choose the color of the skin between black, grey, brown and light brown only, obviously no pink skined Elites. The Elites would have the same body build seen in Halo 4. With the ability to choose your race, color and what armor you want with your Elite like in Halo 3, this would bring in even more diversity in Halo 5 than ever before. Here are the Elite armor that should return… Halo 2 Armor • Combat Harness • Councilor • Sangheili Honor Guardsman Halo 3 Armor • Combat • Assault • Flight • Commando • Ascetic Halo: Reach Armor • Minor • Spec Ops • Ultra • Zealot (Halo: Reach Version) • Officer Halo 4 Armor • Storm Minor • Ranger • Commander • Warrior • Zealot (Halo 4 Version) • Arbiter (Only employees from 343 Industries can have the Arbiters new Golden Armor from the Halo: Escalation comic books that even includes the doarmir-fur cloak) Now all of these armor pieces would need to be updated and redesigned to look like armor that would fit the shape the Elites have in Halo 4 and not just having the exact same design, they shouldn't have the exact same design, they just need to be a bit updated slightly to fit in with what the Elites look like now. Keep in mind, I think they should keep multiple designs for some of these Armor configurations like Minor, Zealot to satisfy players that like one one armor design from one game over another. An example would be me prefering the Halo 4 Zealot Armor over the Halo: Reach Version. Another thing is that the Elite armor from Halo 2, 3 and Reach, storywise you could say are the armor pieces that the Seperatists have while the Halo 4 armor are the Covenant Remnant Elite armor. ----------------------------------------------- Gametypes • Assault • Capture the Flag and 1 Flag CTF • Dominion • Extraction • Elite Slayer • Flood and Infection • Griffball • Headhunter • Invasion and Invasion Slayer • Juggernaut • King of the Hill • Oddball • Race • Regicide • Ricochet • Slayer • Stockpile • SWAT • Team Snipers • Territory • VIP ----------------------------------------------- Weapons I want Halo 5 to have over 40 Weapons! Most of these weapons are classic weapons that we all know and love while some of them are either new weapons or are weapons that were cut from the final game. These are the weapons that I want in Halo 5, with details and a few changes. UNSC • Assault Rifle • Battle Rifle (Halo 4 updated) • Designated Marksman Rifle • Submachine Gun (Duel Wield) • Magnum (Duel Wield) • Shotgun (Halo 4 updated design with blue lights on it like in Halo 3) • Rocket Launcher • Sniper Rifle (Halo: Reach updated design) • Sparan Laser • Railgun • SAW • Sticky Detonator • Flamethrower • Missle Pod • Machine Gun Turret • Frag Grenade • Incendiary Grenades • All UNSC Weapons can have a silencer attached to it for the "Silenced Gametypes" except for Ordinance weapons. Plus any new UNSC weapons they bring into Halo 5. Plus Machine Pistols seen in Halo: Spartan Assault. Covenant • Storm Rifle • Covenant Carbine (Halo 4 updated design) • Plasma Rifle (Halo: Anniversary updated design + Duel Wield) • Plasma Repeater (Covy's version of the LMG) • Brute Plasma Repeater *New* • Plasma Pistol (Duel Wield) • Brute Plasma Rifle (Duel Wield) • Brute Spiker (Duel Wield) • Brute Shot (Finally Returns!) • Gravity Hammer • Energy Sword (Halo 4 Shape with smokey effect seen in Spartan Ops Episode ) • Needler • Concussion Rifle • Focus Rifle • Beam Rifle • Fuel Rod Cannon • Plasma Turret • Plasma Grenade • Hunter's Fuel Rod Cannon *New* (two versions of the hunters fuel rod gun, one shoots the single shot and the other the long beam) • Plus any new Covenant Weapons they bring in Halo 5 Forerunner • Light Rifle • Suppressor • Bolt Shot (more accurate with single shots but weaker with a charged shot) • Stasis Rifle *New* (deleted Halo 4 weapon) • Scattershot • New Forerunner SMG (duel wield) • New Forerunner LMG • Binary Rifle (no line to indicate a player is scoped in) • Incineration Cannon • Sentinel Beam • Pulse Grenade (can stick to other players and desinigrates them) • Any new Forerunner weapons that they bring into Halo 5, and a new Promethean Turret similar to the Plasma and Machine Gun Turret. ----------------------------------------------- Vehicles UNSC • Warthog • Guass Warthog • Rocket Warthog • Troop Transport Warthog (can now sit in the back of it) • Mongoose • Falcon (Heavy Modified Version) • Scorpion Tank • Grizzly Tank • Mantis • Elephant • Mammoth • Pelican • Broadsword (Forge Worlds and Space Battles only) • Longsword (Forge Worlds and Space Battles only) • Plus any new UNSC Vehicles they bring into Halo 5. Covenant • Ghost • Banshee • Spectre (Finally Returns!) • Chopper • Wraith • Anti-Air Wraith • Halo 2 Scarab (Forge Worlds only) • Space Banshee • Phantom • Seraph (Forge Worlds and Space Battles only) • Lich (Forge Worlds and Space Battles only) • Light Shade Turret (Halo 2 version) • Heavy Shade Turret (Halo 3 version) • Any new Covenant Vehicles they bring into Halo 5. Forerunner War Spinx (if its not too big?) Any air and ground vehicle used by the original Prometheans ----------------------------------------------- Armor Abilities Like I said earlier, most of Halo 3's Equipment returns but some of them are some of the old armor abilities from brought back from Reach and Halo 4. Equipment that are returning are no longer equipment but are now as armor abilities, but for some of them, you can only use it a few times before they break. Armor Lock returns, BUT, along with very few others, these few armor abilities are ONLY avaliable in Custom Games In the Ranked Playlist, you do not start out with armor abilities as they are scattered around the map like in Halo 3 and down below shows all of them and how many times you can them. Some of them can be used from 1 time to 5 times, onced it has been completely used, it will be rendered useless, you will lose that ability and can pick up another ability to replace it. Few can used permanetly until you die in which you drop your ability and another player can pick it up or replace there own. In the Social Playlist with multiple preset loadouts like in Halo: Reach and Custom Loadouts like in Halo 4, most armor abilities avaliable in matchmaking have an unlimited use while a few can still only be used once. All Armor Ability and Details • The Thruster Packs boosts the player farther, having a slightly shorter distance than in Halo 4 with the Speed Boost. The Thruster Pack has an unlimited use in both Social and Ranked. • The Evade ability is the Elite equivilant of the Thruster Pack with the same distance and recharge time. Spartans can use Evade just as Elites can use Thruster Pack, but usually Spartans have Thruster while Elites have Evade. The Evade has an unlimited use in both Social and Ranked. • The Jet Pack lets you fly around the map as seen in Halo: Reach and Halo 4. It acts like how it was in Halo 4 but slightly shorter. The Jet Pack has an unlimited use in Social and Ranked. • The Active Camoflauge lets you move around the map almost invisible. It acts like how it was in Halo 3, you can move fast without the Camo losing its affect, no change to the motion tracker and it can only be used once in Social before its rendered usless and is not avaliable in Ranked at all. • The Bubble Shield lets you deploy a 3-dimentional sphere where the player is and no ammunition or explosive can penitrate it. Players and vehicles can enter the Bubble Shield and only in the Ranked Playlist, it can only be used once before its rendered usless. In Social, it has unlimited use. • The Radar Jammer jams every players motion tracker in the effect area, this time not including you or your teammates. In both Social and Ranked Playlists, It can only be used once. • The Regeneration Field brings out a 3-dimentional sphere like in Halo 4, with green sparks coming out of the center like in Halo 3. It heals all players inside its effect radius and in the Ranked Playlist, it can only be used 3 times before its rendered usless. In Social, it has unlimited use. • The Hologram deploys a hologram of the player that deploys it. It shows red on the motion tracker and is hard to tell if it is a player or not. There is no name over the hologram and can only be used 5 times in Ranked before its rendered usless. In Social, it has unlimited use. • The Hardlight Shield deploys a shield in front of the player. Shields do not recharge when being used. It can only be used 3 times in both Ranked and Social before its rendered usless. • The Trip Mine is an explosive that the player deploys on the ground the destroys or damages any vehicle that drives over it and kills any player that walks over it. It can only be used once in both Ranked and Social before its rendered usless. • The Flare blinds all players in the area with a bright light that lasts for 8 seconds. It can only be used once in both Ranked and Social before its rendered usless. • The Power Drain will drain the shields of all players in the area and stops any vehicle that drives in its effect radius. It can only be used once in both Ranked and Social before its rendered usless. • The *New* Slide ability lets the player slide on the ground as seen in Bungies new game Destiny and Call of Duty: Ghosts. The Slide ability has an unlimited use in both Social and Ranked. • The *New* Jump Pack ability lets the player jump high from one area to another as seen in Star Wars: Battlefront and Titanfall. The Jump Pack has an unlimited use in both Social and Ranked. • The *New* Repair Kit lets you repair vehicles and turrets. When you activate it, it brings out a repair torch and can be used to repair vehicles and turrets. You deactivate it by pressing the Armor Ability buttom. It is the only armor ability with unlimited use and no recharge time at all. • The *New* Overshield ability is for Custom Games Only! It lets the player have an Overshield for up to 45 seconds, depending if the player does not take damage. • Promethean Vision is for Custom Games Only! It lets the player see though walls and other objects to find other players highlighted in red. • The *New* Teleporter ability is for Custom Games Only! This lets the player teleport from one part of the map to the other with an average recharge rate. • The Armor Lock is for Custom Games Only! This makes the player invulnerable to damage for 8 seconds with a slow recharge rate. • Sentry Drone is for Custom Games Only! This lets the player deploy a drone that follows and defends the player for 20 seconds with a slow recharge time. All Armor Abilities for both Matchmaking and Custom Games (Every armor ability that is not mentioned in this list are only avaliable in custom games) • Thruster Pack • Evade • Jet Pack • Active Camoflage • Bubble Shield • Radar Jammer • Regeneration Field • Hologram • Hardlight Shield • Trip Mine • Flare • Power Drain • Slide *New* • Jump Pack *New* • Repair Kit *New* Armor Abilites [Only] avaliable in Custom Games (Besides the Campaign, this is the only place you can use these armor abilities. Every other armor ability in the entire game are avaliable here. • Promethean Vision • Overshield *New* • Teleporter *New* • Sentry Drone *New* • Armor Lock Thruster Pack Upgrade When using the Thruster pack, I would like to be able to land safety to the ground when fall. In the Halo 4 Prolouge, three spartans dropped out of a pelican dropship and used the Thruster Pack to land safely. I would like to use this feature in multiplayer by possibly just quickly tapping the button to use it, and save yourself from falling to your death, but you have to time it just right. Otherwise you will either do it too early or too late and either way, you die. You can still fall and thrust in any direction you want, but you have to tap the button "and" move the thumbstick in the direction you want to go, so that way you wont get the two mixed up and don't do the opposite of what you want to do. The Repair Kit can only be used to repair Vehicles and Turrets and nothing else. Its a good way to promote teamwork, help your teammates yourself. ----------------------------------------------- Powerups • Active Camoflauge (blue orb obove the ground like in Halo 3 that makes the player almost invisible to other players for 45 seconds. Moving faster does not make the camo less effective like in Halo: Reach and Halo 4) • Overshield (Red orb above the ground like in Halo 3 that makes the players shield 3 times stronger and lasts for 45 seconds) • Custom Powerup (Yellow orb above the ground like in Halo 3 with any effect that the gametype the player is playing gives it) • Speed Boost *New* (Green orb above the ground like in Halo 3 that makes the player movement, reload and jump farther and faster) • Damage Boost *New* (Purple orb above the ground like in Halo 3 that makes the players damage given to other players increase by 2 times) ----------------------------------------------- Maps and Map Packs I think that Halo 5 should have at least 6 Map Packs. Each Map Pack would have 4 New maps, 2 Map Remake and 1 New Firefight Map. Out of all the Multiplayer Maps, I want… 1. Waterworks from Halo 2 2. Breakneck from and Halo: Anniversary 3. Coagulation from Halo 2 4. Terminal from the Halo 2 Maptacular Map Pack 5. Containment from the Halo 2 Bonus Map Pack 6. Ascension from Halo 2 7. Last Resort from Halo 3 8. Valhalla from Halo 3 9. Lockout from Halo 2 (the same snowy environment just enhanced) 10. Gemini from a Halo 2 Maptacular Map Pack 11. Sandtrap from Halo 3 (or make it Snowtrap) 12. The Pit from Halo 3 (just as colorful like it was in Halo 3, but with the trapdoor below the sword room) 13. Relic from the Halo 2 Maptacular Map Pack 14. Uplift from Halo 2 Vista 15. District from Halo 2 Vista (can now drive the cililian vehicles) - All of these past Halo Maps I want to return sometime in Halo 5 I know its alot, but if Halo 5 could have 6 Map Packs, with 2 Map Remakes in each, then 3 of the maps listed above could be in the original game, while the rest of the maps listed above would be DLC. Halo 5 should have 5 Forge Worlds • Forge World from Halo: Reach, but even bigger than before. With access to all of those areas at the top of the mountain that we could never get to before. • Impact from Halo 4 but even bigger than before. • A Lava filled Forge World • A Snowy Forge World • A Desert Forge World • A Swampy Forge World And other Huge Maps for Forge. Possibly twice or even 3 times as big as Forge World from Halo: Reach Plus all of the maps that I want remade, I want remade with the exact same environment and color of the environment. The only diference is the detail and graphics, kind of like how 343 updated Beaver Creek into Battle Canyon and Headlong into Breakneck Halo CEA. They had pretty much the same environment as before, they just updated the graphics and detail on the maps. Which is exactly what I want 343 to do in these maps. Halo 5 maps also have to be built specifically for certain gametypes as Halo 4 didnt do a good job at that, plus they need to balance out the number of small maps to large maps. Halo 4 did terrible at this. I also want the Multiplayer Maps to have a story behind them. What happened there and when it took place. In the Halo 4 map Landfall, it did a decent job because in the background it showed a Covenant attack of the city in the background. In Halo 5 I want more of that, a history of what happened on each map, and by looking around the map and finding some clues, you figure out exactly what happened on the map. Perhaps if you get to a hard to reach part of the map or somewhere you never would first think to look. I want 343 to somehow tell us about the maps history and the significance of that map and how important it was before, during, or after the Human-Covenant War, or the new war going on now. ----------------------------------------------- Map Environments If you've looked at Halo 4's Forerunner environments, you've obviously noticed how awesome and shiny they looked. The design they gave to Forerunner structures are perfect, but in the Halo 5 teaser trailer at E3, if you look closely at the Bird-like Forerunner machine, you will notice how it still had that Halo 4 Forerunner look to it, but it looked rusty, which looked pretty cool. In Halo 5, I want there to be both Forerunner structures that are rusty like that Bird-like machine was, and have Forerunner structures to look shiny like Halo 4 had it. Halo 4's environments were either mysterious, dark, or creepy. In Halo 4, there wasn't really that many maps with beautiful scenery. Yeah, Halo 4's graphics were beautiful, but I'm talking about the environments. Halo 4's multiplayer didnt offer maps that looked beautiful to look at like Avalanch, Longbow and Halo 3's version of Ragnarok, called Valhalla (I didnt like how many of the rocks and cliffs in Ragnarok were colored light brown instead of grey) It wasnt until Spartan Ops came out that we got a awesome, and yet beautiful map to look at called "The Apex", but thats for Spartan Ops, not multiplayer. Sense Halo 5 is supposed to be more darker than any other game before it, I want Halo 5 to have dark environments like in Halo 4, but I want it to also balance it out with nice beautiful environments like again, The Apex map in Spartan Ops or the beautiful scenery in the Silent Cartographer in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, and also definetly have a snow map and a map with a lava filled environment. I would also like to have a level that looks like the environment in the Halo 4 Epiloge where Chief and a bunch of Marines were just walking forward as Halsey was talking about humanities next step. I dont mind Halo 5 having dark environments, I just hope that they dont have either the or dark or beautiful environments overshadow one over the other. I just hope they can ballance it out equally. ----------------------------------------------- Main Menu and Lobby At the Halo 5 Main Menu, it will show Campaign, Infinity and Halo Waypoint. Inside Infinity, it will have Multiplayer, Firefight, (Possibly Spartan Ops should it return) Forge and Theater Mode. In Multiplayer, it will have Custom Games and Matchmaking. In Matchmaking, it will have The Arena, Ranked, Social, Community and Cooperative Playlists and during the weekends, a Double XP Playlist. In the player options, you have armor and emblem customization, custom loadouts, controller settings and other settings. You will also be able to see what ranks you are in the past Halo Games that you've played when you go to Legacy. It will also show how long you have played, and your K/D for each Halo Game you've played. Many players including myself didnt like the design of the Halo 4 matchmaking lobby. I personally didn't mind the Halo 4 main menu, but the design of the matchmaking lobby, search lobbies and game lobbies didn't look like Halo. Most of us want the Halo: Reach styled lobbies back. In Halo: Reach, it showed the planet Reach in the background for the matchmaking menu, but in Halo 5 it should show wherever Halo 5 takes place or it could be the UNSC Infinity in the background for the matchmaking lobby. I dont want the lobby to be tilted to the left like it was in Halo Reach, I think you know what I mean when I'm talking about it being tilted. I also don't want the lobbies to look like paintings like in Halo: Reach though. ----------------------------------------------- File Share You can store up 100-250 items in your file share, either if every item be Film Clips or having each item in your file share. They are divided into sections like in Halo 4 with… • Film Clips • Films • Screenshots • Gametypes • Maps I don't know how many items Halo 5 could have in file shares. If it can have 250 items, then it should hold up to 250 items. ----------------------------------------------- Clan Support Idea by Wangtime: The Reclaimer http://youtu.be/CoOsG_rbMBA At the Main Menu when you press start, where you can go to Clan management. There you could create or manage your Halo 5 clan. You can create a name for the clan, a profile which will gice you information on the clan and an emblem for the clan, while keeping your personal emblem of course. Whoever created the clan is the Overlord who is the administrator that runs everything and can promote and demote pleyers for getting better or getting worse. There would also be a messaging system in it where you could message your clan members to play custom games, clan battles and so forth. You could also message other clans for battle or collaberation if you want. You could manage or create you clan in Halo 5 and Halo Waypoint, whether it be on the Xbox Version of Halo Waypoint, or the App. The Halo 2 clan system had a ranking system that consists of the following: Peon: Lowest of all the classes. Can only participate in clanmatches. Usually used as a punishment within a clan. Member: Average member of the clan. Can recruit others via clan invite and participate in clanmatches. Staff: Managers of the clan. They have all of the privileges granted to the lower ranks, along with the ability to change lower-ranking members' ranks (to Staff or lower). They can also boot lower-ranking members from the clan. Overlord: Administrators and leaders of the clan. They have all of the privileges of the Staff, but with considerably more power. This is something that needs to return in Halo 5, the difference is now you could hold up to 250 members in the clan. Now I dont know if the Xbox One would be able to support that much, but at the very least 150 players. ----------------------------------------------- Custom Fireteams Much like Squads in Call of Duty: Ghosts, you would be able to make 4 custom Spartan-IV's with there own name and loadouts. You customize each Spartans armor and choose each of there weapons and abilities in each loadout. There are 2 playlists that will let you set your Fireteam against another players Fireteam to see whos team is the best. One is with custom or preset loadouts, another playlist is with Halo 3-like standard loadout with the same weapons and non-armor abilities at the start. Another playlist is for fireteams is a Firefight playlist that lets you play with your fireteam survive against any enemy in firefight. ----------------------------------------------- Gameplay Medals Weapon spree medals were given a significant overhaul in Halo: Reach. While in previous games they were only awarded for consecutive kills with the same weapon, in Halo: Reach, the player needed to only accumulate the number of kills without dying. Halo: Reach had the best Medal System in any Halo Game. Halo 5 needs to have medal overhaul bigger than that. Having "all" the gameplay medals in Halo: Reach and all the new objective and new combat medals that were added in Halo 4 and the new spree, multi-kills and co-op medals in Halo: Spartan Assault. Plus bring back the old medal designs from Halo: Reach. Plus get rid of the "Generic Kill" medal from Halo 4 and let it just be a kill with no medal, and when having any Sniper weapon, sniping someone doesnt give you a headshot medal like it did in Halo 4, it should be a snipe medal like the one designed in Halo: Reach. (New Medals) • Vengence - Kill the opponent who just ended your killing spree • Head-on Colision! - Crash into another player who is also driving a vehicle and cause that vehicle to explode • Tricked ya - tricked another player to board your vehicle so that they drive off the map • Ninja - Jump behind a player that was behind you and pummble or assassinate them • Ninja Spree - 5 Ninja kills in a row without dying. • Ninja Frenzy - 10 Ninja kills in a row without dying. • One with the Shadows! - 15 Ninja in a row without dying. • Long Shot - Kill another player across the map with a Standard primary or secondary weapon. • Long Drop - Assassinate or pummble another player after dropping from a great height Thats all the new medals I could think of. If you have a better name for them, let me know and I might update it later. ----------------------------------------------- Gameplay Info given to the player In Halo: Reach, when your teammate was killed it would say "player 1 was killed by player 2" and if your teammate killed an enemy player, it would say "Player 1 killed Player 2". In Halo 4, it just said "Player 1 killed Player 2". You couldn't tell who was on your team unless you knew from the beginning who was on your team. Also in Halo 4 if one player killed another player with the sniper, it again just said "Player 1 killed Player 2" instead of "Player 1 sniped Player 2". It was the same thing when someone beat down the other player. I really liked how Halo: Reach did it because you could tell how you or someone on the other team was killed. It gave you more information on what weapon your team was using but also what weapons the other team was using. Examples: Player 1 killed Player 2 Player 1 was killed by Player 2 Player 1 sniped Player 2 Player 1 was sniped by other Player 2 Player 1 splattered Player 2 Player 1 was splattered by Player 2 Player 1 stuck Player 2 Player 1 was stuck by Player 2 Player 1 lasered Player 2 Player 1 was lasered by Player 2 Player 1 assassinated Player 2 Player 1 was assassinated by Player 2 Player 1 pummbled Player 2 Player 1 was pummbled by Player 2 Player 1 beat down Player 2 Player 1 was beat down by Player 2 Halo: Reach gave us more information than Halo 4 ever did. More information to the player so he/she could think more strategically and think of what approach to take. I hope they bring this back and add the oddball assassinations, airsassinations and flagsassinations senerios. Plus bring back pummbled medals. Example: Player 1 flagsassinated Player 2 Player 1 was flagsassinated by Player 2 I also want it to go back to how it used to be when the announcer said "1 Minute Remaining", "30 Seconds Remaining" and "10 Seconds Remaining" instead of 1 Minute Left", "30 Seconds Left" and "10 Seconds". It just doesnt feel Halo-ish to me, it didn't like how it was said in Halo 4. I want the announcer to talk like he did in Halo 3 and Halo: Reach. I didn't like the sound of the voice in Halo 4 as much. ----------------------------------------------- Thanks for everyone that read this and if any member 343 Industries saw and read all this. Remember that non of this is confirmed except for 60 FPS and Dedicated Servers. To 343 Industries, please take all of this into consideration. Although these ideas were never given to me, Special Thanks to Pureeey and Wangtime: The Reclaimer for there ideas. http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/33694-halo-5-multiplayer-the-ultimate-guide-to-making-the-perfect-halo/?p=303790&do=findComment&comment=303790

One more thing I forgot to mention is that these ideas I were never contributed to me for this list, they are only ideas that I heard from them and of course, I give them credit where credit is due.

All of these are the thoughts and ideas that i've had for Halo 5. It has taken me months to research some info find out what people want, has taken even longer to make this list and balance it out. if you have any other suggestions, and if I like them, I will update it and give you credit for your awesome ideas. If you like it and even if you don't like it, or just want to add a few changes to it, please give me your thoughts. Any positive and negative feedback is acceptable so please give any ideas so we can possibly make Halo 5 the best it can be. One person does not make a game, one company does not make a game, it is a collaberation of many great minds who can work out there thoughts, visions and ideas for something amazing and make it into reality. Please keep in mind that "None of this is Confirmed in Halo 5". The only thing that is confirmed for Halo 5's Multiplayer is that it has 60 FPS and has Dedicated Servers. With that being said, here is everything that I think would make Halo 5 Perfect, and when I talk about everything, I mean "Everything". From some minor stuff to the major things that people want in Halo 5 or want removed from Halo 5. Table of Content • Thel 'Vadamee Returns • Matchmaking • The Arena • Ranked Playlists • Social Playlists • Community Playlists • Cooperative Playlists • Double XP Weekends • Custom Game Matchmaking • Multiplayer Gameplay • Custom Games • Online Ranking System • Multiplayer Ranks • Custom Loadouts • Customization • Elites in Multiplayer • Gametypes • Weapons • Vehicles • Armor Abilities • Powerups • Maps and Map Packs • Map Environments • Main Menu and Lobby • File Share • Clan Support • Custom Fireteams • Gameplay Medals • Gameplay Info given to the player ----------------------------------------------- Thel' Vadamee Returns Not even a Multiplayer idea, but please bring back Thel' Vadamee, The Arbiter into Halo 5's Campaign and give him a role instead of bringing him back "just" for the love of the fans. Halo: Escalation is out now and that might be there way of bringing Thel into Halo 5. Lets hope so. By the way, In Halo: Escalation, Thel 'Vadamee looks f%#king awsome! It would also be cool if 343 Industries were the only one's allowed to have the Arbiter's new Golden Armor from Halo: Escalation into Multiplayer, even including his doarmir-fur cloak. It would be like the old Halo 3 days when Bungie were the only ones alloyed to have Flaming Recon Armor, unless a Halo player did something truly amazing. But I think this is something that should be an armor permutation for 343 only, but I think on the anniversary of Halo 5, we should all get the Arbiters Armor for 24 hours to celebrate. Again like when Bungie gave us Flaming Recon for a day back in 2010. 343 please consider this! ----------------------------------------------- Matchmaking Halo 5 Matchmaking Playlists will be split into multiple seperate playlists including The Arena, Ranked, Social, Community, Cooperative and Custom Game Matchmaking. Custom Loadouts are only in the Infinity Playlists in the Social playlist, with a few exceptions. You'll see later. The Arena: In the Arena, it has pretty much the same rules as Ranked playlist except you are NOT given a skill level on your performence. Halo 5 players will instead be ranked like how the Arena did in Halo: Reach with Steel, Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Onyx. There is no sprint in the Arena. Ranked: In the Ranked Playlist, it will only have the Halo 3-like set up with everyone spawning with the same Primary, secondary and grenade type, but instead of having Equipment scattered across the Map, it will be armor abilities. Sprint WILL NOT be in the Ranked Playlist, satisfying both players that like or hate Sprint. Resupply becomes avaliable to everyone in both the Ranked and Social Playlists like it should have been in Halo 4. To me personally, having the Resupply perk in Halo 4 become a perk and not being given to every player like it's always been from Halo Combat Evolved to Halo: Reach is rediculous. Social: The Social Playlist will have playlists with Custom Loadouts, like Halo 4 but "without tactical and support packages", with starting armor abilities and with armor abilities being scattered around the map. The Social Playlist will also have playlists with Preset Loadouts like Halo: Reach with starting armor abilities and with armor abilities being scattered around the map as well. The Social Playlist will have Sprint and it would be a default ability like it was in Halo 4. Players will also have more options as to the type of gameplay they'd prefer to play in Halo 5 via the social settings options. There are four different options in the social settings panel that lets you decide between Teamwork, Tone, Chattiness, and Motivation. These options will let you make decisions like whether you'd like to play fun or competitive games, quiet vs. chatty games, polite or rowdy games, and Team Player vs. Lone Wolves. You can also set it to find players that use the same language as you. The social settings options will make sure that gamers are matched up with other gamers that prefer the same options and will make matchmaking in Halo 5 more enjoyable. It must also be more much affective in Halo 5 than it was in Halo: Reach. After the player finds a match, all players in the lobby are given the choose between 6 maps. The veto system was introduced in Halo 3 and gave players the option to "veto" a map in favor of another randomly selected map instead. Halo 5 would feature a new Veto system which will let players choose from six maps, and if most players voted the seventh choice "non of the above", they will be given six more maps. You can choose "non of the above" 3 times only and then they would vote for the last six maps that pop up. If there is a tie, there would be a tie breaker to choose between the two. If there is a tie again, then the game would randomly choose which map to choose. After choosing the map, the players then choose game type to go with the map they choose. The time it takes to vote is 20 seconds so it doesnt take too long in the lobby. After a game, the player is offered to stay or find other players. The Veto system in Halo 5 will make matchmaking more fun, by allowing gamers more options of which maps and gametypes to play, making the experience much more enjoyable than ever. Matchmaking and Custom Games would be able to support up to 32 players in one lobby. Big Team War in both Ranked and Social would have two teams of 16 with a total of 32 players. They would only have large maps and maps created in forge world maps. Maybe in the future Halo can have 64 players, I don't see Halo 5 being able to support 64 players in one game, but sometime in the future perhaps. Active Roster returns and will show you see who is online and let you see everything that their Halo 5 friends are doing: including game types, party details, playlists, and join them if avaliable. Another feature is queued joining. In Halo 5 if a player sends and invite and it's accepted, they'd instantly join their friends as soon as they became available. ----------------------------------------------- The Arena Play a certain number of games daily and on a monthly basis to be ranked here.

Team Size: 1-2 Max Party Size: 2 Max Players: 10 ----------------------------------------------- Custom Game Matchmaking Halo 5 would have the regular Matchmaking System that we have now like with every other Halo, but I think it could also have the feature to let you choose what map and what gametype you want to play. Then it searches for other players that want the same map and gametype. Halo 5 is confirmed to have dedicated servers so maybe we can create our own servers with a name, description of whats gametypes it offers and how many players can join. There would be two playlists for this. • 1) it would only be default Maps and default Gametypes giving you the normal amount of XP for playing it as it normally would. • 2) it would be for Custom Maps and Custom Gametypes and you would get no XP as it would be for players that want to have Custom Games and want to find other players to play those custom games as it can be hard to find enough people to play Custom Games. Plus there would be people that purposly try to rig the map so they win, so again, you would not get any XP so there wouldn't be a reason to cheat or rig the map. This would help solve both finding people for your custom games and others players that try to cheat. ----------------------------------------------- Multiplayer Gameplay In Halo 5 Multiplayer, you have the basic Shielding System and motion tracker like in Halo 2, 3 and 4. You can hold two weapons, four grenade types with up to 2 each, and one armor ability. The HUD has a compass above the shields like in Halo: Reach. It also shows 2 weapons on the top right of the HUD and shows 4 grenade slotes in the top left side. You can duel wield and sprint (sprint is only avaliable in the Social Playlist) and you can sprint while duel wielding without dropping your weapon. Here are some other small details I want in Halo 5… • HUD Design: I would also like the HUD to look something similar to Project Contingency's HUD design. Or at the very least show us every bit of information that the HUD shows, like grenade capacity, service tag, grenade type, primary and secondary, ammo capacity, range of the motion tracker and a compass above or below the Shields. Heres an image of the HUD… https://trello-attachments.s3.amazonaws.com/51fae64c8abcceb07700027c/52844947607b9f8b24000570/40377bc990e5d4f592fa1839711f0e81/hud_final.png • Duel Wield melee: When meleeing another player while duel wielding, you do not drop your other duel wield weapon. You can only drop it if you melee the air without hitting another player because it always sucked when you melee another player while duel wielding and then have to pick them up again. • Shooting while scoped: I loved that in Halo 4 that when you are scoped in and someone shoots at you, you can still shoot at them while scoped. That really got annoying in other Halo games because I had to have keep getting in and out of scope. That is an addition that I think should return. • Nightvision: When you press up on the d-pad, you turn on night vision mode that lasts for about 30 seconds. There are triangles that appear over your teammates at all times and there are death indicators that appear where your teammates died that lasts for about five seconds. In the Classic Playlists in the Community Playlist. You have a flash light instead of nightvision. • Joining Midgame: Players can join in midgame, but only in the first few minutes of the Game. I also want to be able to move when looking at the scoreboard. Plus the names on the scoreboard shouldn't have everyones name in all Caps, it should be presented how the gamertag is. Also show what our emblem is on the scoreboard like in Halo 2, 3 and Reach. Hitmarkers returns, but there is No Grenade Indicators. • 1st and 3rd Person Driving: When driving a vehicle, air or ground, by pressing the thumbstick you can switch between 1st Person or 3rd Person when Driving a vehicle like in the Battlefield games. Creating a whole new driving experience in Halo. The same can be done when holding the Flamethrower or any Covenant or UNSC Turret, by pressing the thumbstick, you can switch between 1st and 3rd Person. • Destructible Environments: Multiplayer should also have destructible environments, wall panals can fall of, man cannons can be disabled for a bit or even destroyed. I dont think buildings should be able to be destroyed in multiplayer, it seems to much for me. Halo 5 should feature also have some player-triggered environmental hazards like floors that can be electricized like in Vertigo in Halo 4, and being able to open doors and activate traps with a button, a good example is the Map High Ground from Halo 3. Another thing is that in the Halo 4 Campaign level Infinity, when driving the Mantis, you could destroy some of the bridges inside the Infinity. Perhapes something similar could be seen in multiplayer. • Red and Blue Team Colors: In Halo Waypoints video, "Halo 4 First Look", they showed the very first Halo 4 gameplay, the red and blue armor colors were kinda dark. I really liked how dark they made the red and blue color. Then in the final game, they made it too bright to me. I didn't like how bright they made the red and blue color for the Spartans in Halo 4, they had the same problem for me in Halo 3, but I never had this problem in Halo CE, Halo 2 and Halo: Reach. In Halo 5, I want the red and blue Spartans to colored dark like how it was in the video. I know it's not important, but for me its a nitpick. Halo 4 First Look • Reticles: 343 made many changes to the weapon and vehicle reticles in Halo 4, few of them I didnt mind like the warthog, the scorpion, the Pistol and I especially love the new BR reticle. But many of the new ones I didnt like, especially how the Ghost and Banshee were the exact same for some reason. They need to bring back all of the original reticles for every vehicle and weapon. The only Halo 4 reticles that I would like to keep the same are… • Battle Rifle • Designated Marksman Rifle • Magnum • Covenant Carbine • Fuel Rod Gun • Warthog • Scorpion Every other weapon or vehicle reticle from Halo 4 not mentioned, needs to go back to how it was before. ----------------------------------------------- Custom Games Halo 5 would be able to support custom games, and be able to test out your maps with AI that need to be really smart. Or could could just play custom games with AIs if you dont have Xbox Live. Pretty simple. ----------------------------------------------- Online Ranking System Halo 3's True Skill ranking system for its matchmaking on a per-playlist basis. A linear measure of a player's experience with the matchmade portion of the game and each particular playlist is also tracked (denoted as EXP). The True Skill Ranking System returns, but it will be as hard or even more difficult than it was in Halo 3. but like before, I want to have an emblem that goes with that rank like in Halo 3 and Reach. In Halo 4 there were no emblems for the rank that you were at, only a number that you ranked at, between 1-130. They need to bring back emblems for every rank available in Halo 5. ----------------------------------------------- Multiplayer Ranks 1. Recruit 2. Apprentice Grade 0 Grade 1 3. Private Grade 0 Grade 1 4. Corporal Grade 0 Grade 1 5. Sergeant Grade 0 Grade 1 Grade 2 6. Gunnery Sergeant Grade 0 Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 Grade 4 7. Lieutenant Grade 0 Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 Grade 4 8. Warrant Officer Grade 0 Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 9. Captain Grade 0 Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 10. Major Grade 0 Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 11. Lt. Colonel Grade 0 Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 12. Commander Grade 0 Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 13. Colonel Grade 0 Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 14. Brigadier Grade 0 Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 15. General Grade 0 Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 Grade 4 16. Field Marshall 17. War Hero 18. Mythic 19. Legend 20. Mythic 21. Forerunner 22. Reclaimer 23. Inheritor ----------------------------------------------- Custom Loadouts In Halo 5, custom loadouts are only in the Infinity Playlists in the Social Playlist, except for a few minor exceptions. You can have… One Primary Weapon One Secondary Weapon One Grenade Type One Armor Ability Thats it, there are absolutely no Tactical or Support Packages and Resupply is given to all players in all playlists. You can have up to 20 Loadouts, 10 for you Spartan and 10 for you Elite. Elite Gametypes are availiable in the Infinity Playlists. When customizing your loadout, you cannot set your primary or secondary to duel wielding. All non-custom loadout armor abilities are scattered around the map and most armor abilities in the Social Playlist have unlimited use. These are the weapons, grenades and the only armor abilities available your custom loadouts UNSC: • Assault Rifle • Battle Rifle • Designated Marksman Rifle • Submachine Gun (Duel Wield) • Magnum (Duel Wield) Covenant: • Storm Rifle • Covenant Carbine • Plasma Rifle (Duel Wield) • Brute Plasma Rifle (Duel Wield) • Brute Spiker (Duel Wield) • Plasma Pistol (Duel Wield) Forerunner: • Suppressor • Light Rifle • Bolt Shot (Duel Wield) • Forerunner SMG (Duel Wield) Grenades: • Frag • Plasma • Spike • Pulse Armor Abilities: • Thruster Pack • Evade • Jet Pack • Bubble Shield • Regeneration Field • Hologram • Slide *New* • Jump Pack *New* • Repair Kit *New* You can have weapon skins like in Halo 4. Weapon skins return in the Infinity gametypes in matchmaking, and in Firefight (343 said they have no plans for Spartan Ops Season 2 so there will probably be no Spartan Ops in Halo 5). Also for weapon skins I want the ability to change the colors of the camo on the weapons. An example would be the DMR MONOCLE skin from the Champions Bundle, you could change it from being gold and black to blue and white. And having every weapon skins from Halo 4 brought back along with a ton of new Halo 5 weapon skins. Another idea is that maybe we could choose different designs for each weapon. Like being able to choose between the Halo: Reach and Halo 4 Assault Rifle designs or the Halo 3 and Halo 4 Battle Rifle Designs. There would be no difference in gameplay other than having a different layout of the weapon and also having a weapon skin to go with whichever weapon design you choose. With all of these ideas, have multiple weapon layouts for each weapon, multiple weapon skins and choosing what color you want for that skin, this will give the player a ton of varietiy and customization, more so than ever before. ----------------------------------------------- Customization Armor Customization To unlock armor in Halo 5, you should have to complete difficult challanges, get achievements in campaign and multiplayer, and complete vidmasters challanges in the campaign, which I think needs to return. I also think they need to make more vidmasters than Bungie did with Halo 3 and ODST, perhaps playing the campaign solo on Legendary could give you an awesome set of armor. Finding skulls and terminals in the campaign and any other campaign related achievements could also unlock armor in multiplayer. Now some armor could be unlocked in multiplayer, but they need to take time and real effort to try to unlock them. In Halo 4 it was too easy, in Halo 5, it needs to have a challange in trying to get the Armor you want. Also many of the old multiplayer armor from Halo 3 and Halo: Reach that were forgotten in Halo 4 needs to make a return. Out of all the armor in the past Halo games, these are all the armor confingurations that I think need to return in Halo 5. Halo 3 Armor • Mark VI • Mark V • EVA (Halo 3 Design) • CQB • EOD • Hayabusa • ODST Helmet (Halo 3 Design) • Marathon Helmet • Rogue Helmet Halo: Reach Armor • Recon • CQC • Hazop • Operator • Scout (Reach Design) • Commando • JFO • Grenadier •Sniper Sholders • Jump Jet Halo 4 Armor • Recruit • Warrior • Air Assault • Soldier • Scout (Halo 4 Design) • Hayabusa (Unfinished Halo 4 Design) • Aviator • Deadeye Helmet • Defender • EVA (Halo 4 Design) • War Master • Orbital • EOD (Halo 4 Design) • Pathfinder • Rogue • C.I.O • Venator • Raider • Scanner • Strider • Mark V (Halo 4 Design) • ODST (Halo 4 Design) • Prefect • Ricochet • Vanguard Plus all Halo Forearms, legs and I also want Halo 5 to give us all Visor Colors. Any color that we want for our visor. Now all of these armor pieces do need to be designed to look like Spartan-IV Armor and not just having the exact same design. Plus any new Armor they bring into Halo 5. Keep in mind, I think they should keep multiple designs for some armor configurations like Scout, Mark V, ODST, EOD, EVA to satisfy players that like one one armor design from one game over another. An example would be me prefering the Halo 4 Scout Helmet over the Halo: Reach Scout Helmet. All armor from past Halo games before Halo 4 would have to be updated slightly to fit with the Spartan-IV design. I also want to be able to have armor attachments like you could do to your helmets in Halo: Reach. Maybe we could choose what spot we want a knife on our Spartan, plus adding other armor attachments like Halo: Reach did, but add them to different spots like our leg, helmet, chest or arms. In Halo 5, I would like to transfer my Halo 4 armor configuration into Halo 5. The armor configuration you have in Halo 4 would transfer over and only that armor set would transfer, no other armor set would transfer over so you have to choose wisely as to what armor that you liked in Halo 4 to bring over to Halo 5. Although the idea of transfering you're armor to Halo 5 is probably just me, which I definetly understand if some people don't like the idea. Its just my Halo 4 Spartan just looks perfect to me, I want to be able to bring it into Halo 5, so I hope you can understand. Heads Up Display Customization I would also like to customize the HUD (Heads Up Display) for our Spartans and Elites. Change the layout of it, and the color of it. I want to be able to have a Blue visor for my helmet while being able to have a green HUD, or have a red visor and have a blue visor. Have any visor color and I mean "every" visor color and have a HUD with a different color. Halo 4 only had 17 different visor colors, I want every basic color you can have, plus have a different effect on the visor. Like how Engineer had blue and purple, you could have any two different colors. And what Blindside and Legendary had. I also want to move around each part of the hud like moving the shield indicator to the top right of the screen or moving the motion tracker to the top left if you want to do so. I think we should even be able to change the color of the reticle when you look at a friendly, so when you look at a teammate, it could turn blue instead of green if you want. If you look at a enemy player, it could purple instead of red if you want it like that. You could even set it to have no display at all, no shield indicator, no reticle, or even no motion tracker if you want. This would be for the hardcore players that want a hard challenge when playing multiplayer. You could change the shape of the player on the motion tracker from a triangle to a circle if you want and even remove or add the pulse that the motion tracker does in every Halo game, although Halo 4 didn't have this. There would be pretty much no purpose to this, but it would make things even more interesting. Emblem Customization Like in both of the Cod: Black Ops games, I think that you should be able to create and customize your own emblem. Now of course, there will be people who will make sexual pictures or anything else that is inappropriate, so while you can make your own emblem, anyone who makes an inappropriate emblem in Halo 5 will lose there ability to create another custom emblem and will go back to Halo's original way of making a Halo emblem. You can choose to have the classic way of making an emblem if you choose to do so. You can also have up to 10 different Emblems for yourself and one emblem for each clan that you're in. I'll get clans later. ----------------------------------------------- Elites in Multiplayer Elites Return in Halo 5 multiplayer with their own customizable armor and are playable with Spartans in Team Games just like in Halo 3 with no difference except size, so playing as an Elite is your own choice and your own risk. You can also choose to play as a Spartan or an Elite at the beginning of a game, like choosing a side in Star Wars Battlefront, instead of having to switch between Spartans and Elites before the Game like in Halo 3, you can choose before your first spawn. When the Elites are teaming with Spartans like in Halo 3, the Elites start off with the same weapon as them, except for a few gametypes in which they can start with a Storm Rifle, Plasma Rifle, Covenant Carbine etc. I also want to have the Plasma Repeater to return from Halo: Reach, but I think is should now be the Covenant's version of the LMG. Elites have the default ability to Sprint if they are in the Social Playlist but will not be able to sprint in the Arena and Ranked Playlist as there will be no sprint in the Ranked Playlist. Elites are in both Ranked and Social Playlists. Elite Playlists would also be a choice in the Social Playlist for everyone who wants to play as an Elite only. When playing as a Spartan in Halo 5, if you look at a teammate, it shows green on you're reticle and motion tracker. When playing as an Elite, it shows blue on the reticle and motion tracker. Elite Customization When customizing the you're Elite for multiplayer, I would like the ability to change the race and color of the Elites. Kind of like how humans have whites, blacks, asians just to name a few. I would like to have my Elite to either have the rough looking skin the Elites had in Halo 4 or the smooth blackish grey color the Elites had in Halo: Reach; and to choose the color of the skin between black, grey, brown and light brown only, obviously no pink skined Elites. The Elites would have the same body build seen in Halo 4. With the ability to choose your race, color and what armor you want with your Elite like in Halo 3, this would bring in even more diversity in Halo 5 than ever before. Here are the Elite armor that should return… Halo 2 Armor • Combat Harness • Councilor • Sangheili Honor Guardsman Halo 3 Armor • Combat • Assault • Flight • Commando • Ascetic Halo: Reach Armor • Minor • Spec Ops • Ultra • Zealot (Halo: Reach Version) • Officer Halo 4 Armor • Storm Minor • Ranger • Commander • Warrior • Zealot (Halo 4 Version) • Arbiter (Only employees from 343 Industries can have the Arbiters new Golden Armor from the Halo: Escalation comic books that even includes the doarmir-fur cloak) Now all of these armor pieces would need to be updated and redesigned to look like armor that would fit the shape the Elites have in Halo 4 and not just having the exact same design, they shouldn't have the exact same design, they just need to be a bit updated slightly to fit in with what the Elites look like now. Keep in mind, I think they should keep multiple designs for some of these Armor configurations like Minor, Zealot to satisfy players that like one one armor design from one game over another. An example would be me prefering the Halo 4 Zealot Armor over the Halo: Reach Version. Another thing is that the Elite armor from Halo 2, 3 and Reach, storywise you could say are the armor pieces that the Seperatists have while the Halo 4 armor are the Covenant Remnant Elite armor. ----------------------------------------------- Gametypes • Assault • Capture the Flag and 1 Flag CTF • Dominion • Extraction • Elite Slayer • Flood and Infection • Griffball • Headhunter • Invasion and Invasion Slayer • Juggernaut • King of the Hill • Oddball • Race • Regicide • Ricochet • Slayer • Stockpile • SWAT • Team Snipers • Territory • VIP ----------------------------------------------- Weapons I want Halo 5 to have over 40 Weapons! Most of these weapons are classic weapons that we all know and love while some of them are either new weapons or are weapons that were cut from the final game. These are the weapons that I want in Halo 5, with details and a few changes. UNSC • Assault Rifle • Battle Rifle (Halo 4 updated) • Designated Marksman Rifle • Submachine Gun (Duel Wield) • Magnum (Duel Wield) • Shotgun (Halo 4 updated design with blue lights on it like in Halo 3) • Rocket Launcher • Sniper Rifle (Halo: Reach updated design) • Sparan Laser • Railgun • SAW • Sticky Detonator • Flamethrower • Missle Pod • Machine Gun Turret • Frag Grenade • Incendiary Grenades • All UNSC Weapons can have a silencer attached to it for the "Silenced Gametypes" except for Ordinance weapons. Plus any new UNSC weapons they bring into Halo 5. Plus Machine Pistols seen in Halo: Spartan Assault. Covenant • Storm Rifle • Covenant Carbine (Halo 4 updated design) • Plasma Rifle (Halo: Anniversary updated design + Duel Wield) • Plasma Repeater (Covy's version of the LMG) • Brute Plasma Repeater *New* • Plasma Pistol (Duel Wield) • Brute Plasma Rifle (Duel Wield) • Brute Spiker (Duel Wield) • Brute Shot (Finally Returns!) • Gravity Hammer • Energy Sword (Halo 4 Shape with smokey effect seen in Spartan Ops Episode ) • Needler • Concussion Rifle • Focus Rifle • Beam Rifle • Fuel Rod Cannon • Plasma Turret • Plasma Grenade • Hunter's Fuel Rod Cannon *New* (two versions of the hunters fuel rod gun, one shoots the single shot and the other the long beam) • Plus any new Covenant Weapons they bring in Halo 5 Forerunner • Light Rifle • Suppressor • Bolt Shot (more accurate with single shots but weaker with a charged shot) • Stasis Rifle *New* (deleted Halo 4 weapon) • Scattershot • New Forerunner SMG (duel wield) • New Forerunner LMG • Binary Rifle (no line to indicate a player is scoped in) • Incineration Cannon • Sentinel Beam • Pulse Grenade (can stick to other players and desinigrates them) • Any new Forerunner weapons that they bring into Halo 5, and a new Promethean Turret similar to the Plasma and Machine Gun Turret. ----------------------------------------------- Vehicles UNSC • Warthog • Guass Warthog • Rocket Warthog • Troop Transport Warthog (can now sit in the back of it) • Mongoose • Falcon (Heavy Modified Version) • Scorpion Tank • Grizzly Tank • Mantis • Elephant • Mammoth • Pelican • Broadsword (Forge Worlds and Space Battles only) • Longsword (Forge Worlds and Space Battles only) • Plus any new UNSC Vehicles they bring into Halo 5. Covenant • Ghost • Banshee • Spectre (Finally Returns!) • Chopper • Wraith • Anti-Air Wraith • Halo 2 Scarab (Forge Worlds only) • Space Banshee • Phantom • Seraph (Forge Worlds and Space Battles only) • Lich (Forge Worlds and Space Battles only) • Light Shade Turret (Halo 2 version) • Heavy Shade Turret (Halo 3 version) • Any new Covenant Vehicles they bring into Halo 5. Forerunner War Spinx (if its not too big?) Any air and ground vehicle used by the original Prometheans ----------------------------------------------- Armor Abilities Like I said earlier, most of Halo 3's Equipment returns but some of them are some of the old armor abilities from brought back from Reach and Halo 4. Equipment that are returning are no longer equipment but are now as armor abilities, but for some of them, you can only use it a few times before they break. Armor Lock returns, BUT, along with very few others, these few armor abilities are ONLY avaliable in Custom Games In the Ranked Playlist, you do not start out with armor abilities as they are scattered around the map like in Halo 3 and down below shows all of them and how many times you can them. Some of them can be used from 1 time to 5 times, onced it has been completely used, it will be rendered useless, you will lose that ability and can pick up another ability to replace it. Few can used permanetly until you die in which you drop your ability and another player can pick it up or replace there own. In the Social Playlist with multiple preset loadouts like in Halo: Reach and Custom Loadouts like in Halo 4, most armor abilities avaliable in matchmaking have an unlimited use while a few can still only be used once. All Armor Ability and Details • The Thruster Packs boosts the player farther, having a slightly shorter distance than in Halo 4 with the Speed Boost. The Thruster Pack has an unlimited use in both Social and Ranked. • The Evade ability is the Elite equivilant of the Thruster Pack with the same distance and recharge time. Spartans can use Evade just as Elites can use Thruster Pack, but usually Spartans have Thruster while Elites have Evade. The Evade has an unlimited use in both Social and Ranked. • The Jet Pack lets you fly around the map as seen in Halo: Reach and Halo 4. It acts like how it was in Halo 4 but slightly shorter. The Jet Pack has an unlimited use in Social and Ranked. • The Active Camoflauge lets you move around the map almost invisible. It acts like how it was in Halo 3, you can move fast without the Camo losing its affect, no change to the motion tracker and it can only be used once in Social before its rendered usless and is not avaliable in Ranked at all. • The Bubble Shield lets you deploy a 3-dimentional sphere where the player is and no ammunition or explosive can penitrate it. Players and vehicles can enter the Bubble Shield and only in the Ranked Playlist, it can only be used once before its rendered usless. In Social, it has unlimited use. • The Radar Jammer jams every players motion tracker in the effect area, this time not including you or your teammates. In both Social and Ranked Playlists, It can only be used once. • The Regeneration Field brings out a 3-dimentional sphere like in Halo 4, with green sparks coming out of the center like in Halo 3. It heals all players inside its effect radius and in the Ranked Playlist, it can only be used 3 times before its rendered usless. In Social, it has unlimited use. • The Hologram deploys a hologram of the player that deploys it. It shows red on the motion tracker and is hard to tell if it is a player or not. There is no name over the hologram and can only be used 5 times in Ranked before its rendered usless. In Social, it has unlimited use. • The Hardlight Shield deploys a shield in front of the player. Shields do not recharge when being used. It can only be used 3 times in both Ranked and Social before its rendered usless. • The Trip Mine is an explosive that the player deploys on the ground the destroys or damages any vehicle that drives over it and kills any player that walks over it. It can only be used once in both Ranked and Social before its rendered usless. • The Flare blinds all players in the area with a bright light that lasts for 8 seconds. It can only be used once in both Ranked and Social before its rendered usless. • The Power Drain will drain the shields of all players in the area and stops any vehicle that drives in its effect radius. It can only be used once in both Ranked and Social before its rendered usless. • The *New* Slide ability lets the player slide on the ground as seen in Bungies new game Destiny and Call of Duty: Ghosts. The Slide ability has an unlimited use in both Social and Ranked. • The *New* Jump Pack ability lets the player jump high from one area to another as seen in Star Wars: Battlefront and Titanfall. The Jump Pack has an unlimited use in both Social and Ranked. • The *New* Repair Kit lets you repair vehicles and turrets. When you activate it, it brings out a repair torch and can be used to repair vehicles and turrets. You deactivate it by pressing the Armor Ability buttom. It is the only armor ability with unlimited use and no recharge time at all. • The *New* Overshield ability is for Custom Games Only! It lets the player have an Overshield for up to 45 seconds, depending if the player does not take damage. • Promethean Vision is for Custom Games Only! It lets the player see though walls and other objects to find other players highlighted in red. • The *New* Teleporter ability is for Custom Games Only! This lets the player teleport from one part of the map to the other with an average recharge rate. • The Armor Lock is for Custom Games Only! This makes the player invulnerable to damage for 8 seconds with a slow recharge rate. • Sentry Drone is for Custom Games Only! This lets the player deploy a drone that follows and defends the player for 20 seconds with a slow recharge time. All Armor Abilities for both Matchmaking and Custom Games (Every armor ability that is not mentioned in this list are only avaliable in custom games) • Thruster Pack • Evade • Jet Pack • Active Camoflage • Bubble Shield • Radar Jammer • Regeneration Field • Hologram • Hardlight Shield • Trip Mine • Flare • Power Drain • Slide *New* • Jump Pack *New* • Repair Kit *New* Armor Abilites [Only] avaliable in Custom Games (Besides the Campaign, this is the only place you can use these armor abilities. Every other armor ability in the entire game are avaliable here. • Promethean Vision • Overshield *New* • Teleporter *New* • Sentry Drone *New* • Armor Lock Thruster Pack Upgrade When using the Thruster pack, I would like to be able to land safety to the ground when fall. In the Halo 4 Prolouge, three spartans dropped out of a pelican dropship and used the Thruster Pack to land safely. I would like to use this feature in multiplayer by possibly just quickly tapping the button to use it, and save yourself from falling to your death, but you have to time it just right. Otherwise you will either do it too early or too late and either way, you die. You can still fall and thrust in any direction you want, but you have to tap the button "and" move the thumbstick in the direction you want to go, so that way you wont get the two mixed up and don't do the opposite of what you want to do. The Repair Kit can only be used to repair Vehicles and Turrets and nothing else. Its a good way to promote teamwork, help your teammates yourself. ----------------------------------------------- Powerups • Active Camoflauge (blue orb obove the ground like in Halo 3 that makes the player almost invisible to other players for 45 seconds. Moving faster does not make the camo less effective like in Halo: Reach and Halo 4) • Overshield (Red orb above the ground like in Halo 3 that makes the players shield 3 times stronger and lasts for 45 seconds) • Custom Powerup (Yellow orb above the ground like in Halo 3 with any effect that the gametype the player is playing gives it) • Speed Boost *New* (Green orb above the ground like in Halo 3 that makes the player movement, reload and jump farther and faster) • Damage Boost *New* (Purple orb above the ground like in Halo 3 that makes the players damage given to other players increase by 2 times) ----------------------------------------------- Maps and Map Packs I think that Halo 5 should have at least 6 Map Packs. Each Map Pack would have 4 New maps, 2 Map Remake and 1 New Firefight Map. Out of all the Multiplayer Maps, I want… 1. Waterworks from Halo 2 2. Breakneck from and Halo: Anniversary 3. Coagulation from Halo 2 4. Terminal from the Halo 2 Maptacular Map Pack 5. Containment from the Halo 2 Bonus Map Pack 6. Ascension from Halo 2 7. Last Resort from Halo 3 8. Valhalla from Halo 3 9. Lockout from Halo 2 (the same snowy environment just enhanced) 10. Gemini from a Halo 2 Maptacular Map Pack 11. Sandtrap from Halo 3 (or make it Snowtrap) 12. The Pit from Halo 3 (just as colorful like it was in Halo 3, but with the trapdoor below the sword room) 13. Relic from the Halo 2 Maptacular Map Pack 14. Uplift from Halo 2 Vista 15. District from Halo 2 Vista (can now drive the cililian vehicles) - All of these past Halo Maps I want to return sometime in Halo 5 I know its alot, but if Halo 5 could have 6 Map Packs, with 2 Map Remakes in each, then 3 of the maps listed above could be in the original game, while the rest of the maps listed above would be DLC. Halo 5 should have 5 Forge Worlds • Forge World from Halo: Reach, but even bigger than before. With access to all of those areas at the top of the mountain that we could never get to before. • Impact from Halo 4 but even bigger than before. • A Lava filled Forge World • A Snowy Forge World • A Desert Forge World • A Swampy Forge World And other Huge Maps for Forge. Possibly twice or even 3 times as big as Forge World from Halo: Reach Plus all of the maps that I want remade, I want remade with the exact same environment as listed. The only diference is the detail and graphics, kind of like how 343 updated Beaver Creek into Battle Canyon and Headlong into Breakneck Halo CEA. They had pretty much the same environment as before, they just updated the graphics and detail on the maps. Which is exactly what I want 343 to do in these maps. Halo 5 maps also have to be built specifically for certain gametypes as Halo 4 didnt do a good job at that, plus they need to balance out the number of small maps to large maps. Halo 4 did terrible at this. I also want the Multiplayer Maps to have a story behind them. What happened there and when it took place. In the Halo 4 map Landfall, it did a decent job because in the background it showed a Covenant attack of the city in the background. In Halo 5 I want more of that, a history of what happened on each map, and by looking around the map and finding some clues, you figure out exactly what happened on the map. Perhaps if you get to a hard to reach part of the map or somewhere you never would first think to look. I want 343 to somehow tell us about the maps history and the significance of that map and how important it was before, during, or after the Human-Covenant War, or the new war going on now. ----------------------------------------------- Map Environments If you've looked at Halo 4's Forerunner environments, you've obviously noticed how awesome and shiny they looked. The design they gave to Forerunner structures are perfect, but in the Halo 5 teaser trailer at E3, if you look closely at the Bird-like Forerunner machine, you will notice how it still had that Halo 4 Forerunner look to it, but it looked rusty, which looked pretty cool. In Halo 5, I want there to be both Forerunner structures that are rusty like that Bird-like machine was, and have Forerunner structures to look shiny like Halo 4 had it. Halo 4's environments were either mysterious, dark, or creepy. In Halo 4, there wasn't really that many maps with beautiful scenery. Yeah, Halo 4's graphics were beautiful, but I'm talking about the environments. Halo 4's multiplayer didnt offer maps that looked beautiful to look at like Avalanch, Longbow and Halo 3's version of Ragnarok, called Valhalla (I didnt like how many of the rocks and cliffs in Ragnarok were colored light brown instead of grey) It wasnt until Spartan Ops came out that we got a awesome, and yet beautiful map to look at called "The Apex", but thats for Spartan Ops, not multiplayer. Sense Halo 5 is supposed to be more darker than any other game before it, I want Halo 5 to have dark environments like in Halo 4, but I want it to also balance it out with nice beautiful environments like again, The Apex map in Spartan Ops or the beautiful scenery in the Silent Cartographer in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, and also definetly have a snow map and a map with a lava filled environment. I would also like to have a level that looks like the environment in the Halo 4 Epiloge where Chief and a bunch of Marines were just walking forward as Halsey was talking about humanities next step. I dont mind Halo 5 having dark environments, I just hope that they dont have either the or dark or beautiful environments overshadow one over the other. I just hope they can ballance it out equally. ----------------------------------------------- Main Menu and Lobby At the Halo 5 Main Menu, it will show Campaign, Infinity and Halo Waypoint. Inside Infinity, it will have Multiplayer, Firefight, (Possibly Spartan Ops should it return) Forge and Theater Mode. In Multiplayer, it will have Custom Games and Matchmaking. In Matchmaking, it will have The Arena, Ranked, Social, Community and Cooperative Playlists and during the weekends, a Double XP Playlist. In the player options, you have armor and emblem customization, custom loadouts, controller settings and other settings. You will also be able to see what ranks you are in the past Halo Games that you've played when you go to Legacy. It will also show how long you have played, and your K/D for each Halo Game you've played. Many players including myself didnt like the design of the Halo 4 matchmaking lobby. I personally didn't mind the Halo 4 main menu, but the design of the matchmaking lobby, search lobbies and game lobbies didn't look like Halo. Most of us want the Halo: Reach styled lobbies back. In Halo: Reach, it showed the planet Reach in the background for the matchmaking menu, but in Halo 5 it should show wherever Halo 5 takes place or it could be the UNSC Infinity in the background for the matchmaking lobby. I dont want the lobby to be tilted to the left like it was in Halo Reach, I think you know what I mean when I'm talking about it being tilted. I also don't want the lobbies to look like paintings like in Halo: Reach though. ----------------------------------------------- File Share You can store up 100-250 items in your file share, either if every item be Film Clips or having each item in your file share. They are divided into sections like in Halo 4 with… • Film Clips • Films • Screenshots • Gametypes • Maps I don't know how many items Halo 5 could have in file shares. If it can have 250 items, then it should hold up to 250 items. ----------------------------------------------- Clan Support Idea by Wangtime: The Reclaimer http://youtu.be/CoOsG_rbMBA At the Main Menu when you press start, where you can go to Clan management. There you could create or manage your Halo 5 clan. You can create a name for the clan, a profile which will gice you information on the clan and an emblem for the clan, while keeping your personal emblem of course. Whoever created the clan is the Overlord who is the administrator that runs everything and can promote and demote pleyers for getting better or getting worse. There would also be a messaging system in it where you could message your clan members to play custom games, clan battles and so forth. You could also message other clans for battle or collaberation if you want. You could manage or create you clan in Halo 5 and Halo Waypoint, whether it be on the Xbox Version of Halo Waypoint, or the App. The Halo 2 clan system had a ranking system that consists of the following: Peon: Lowest of all the classes. Can only participate in clanmatches. Usually used as a punishment within a clan. Member: Average member of the clan. Can recruit others via clan invite and participate in clanmatches. Staff: Managers of the clan. They have all of the privileges granted to the lower ranks, along with the ability to change lower-ranking members' ranks (to Staff or lower). They can also boot lower-ranking members from the clan. Overlord: Administrators and leaders of the clan. They have all of the privileges of the Staff, but with considerably more power. This is something that needs to return in Halo 5, the difference is now you could hold up to 250 members in the clan. Now I dont know if the Xbox One would be able to support that much, but at the very least 150 players. ----------------------------------------------- Custom Fireteams Much like Squads in Call of Duty: Ghosts, you would be able to make 4 custom Spartan-IV's with there own name and loadouts. You customize each Spartans armor and choose each of there weapons and abilities in each loadout. There are 2 playlists that will let you set your Fireteam against another players Fireteam to see whos team is the best. One is with custom or preset loadouts, another playlist is with Halo 3-like standard loadout with the same weapons and non-armor abilities at the start. Another playlist is for fireteams is a Firefight playlist that lets you play with your fireteam survive against any enemy in firefight. ----------------------------------------------- Gameplay Medals Weapon spree medals were given a significant overhaul in Halo: Reach. While in previous games they were only awarded for consecutive kills with the same weapon, in Halo: Reach, the player needed to only accumulate the number of kills without dying. Halo: Reach had the best Medal System in any Halo Game. Halo 5 needs to have medal overhaul bigger than that. Having "all" the gameplay medals in Halo: Reach and all the new objective and new combat medals that were added in Halo 4 and the new spree, multi-kills and co-op medals in Halo: Spartan Assault. Plus bring back the old medal designs from Halo: Reach. Plus get rid of the "Generic Kill" medal from Halo 4 and let it just be a kill with no medal, and when having any Sniper weapon, sniping someone doesnt give you a headshot medal like it did in Halo 4, it should be a snipe medal like the one designed in Halo: Reach. (New Medals) • Vengence - Kill the opponent who just ended your killing spree • Head-on Colision! - Crash into another player who is also driving a vehicle and cause that vehicle to explode • Tricked ya - tricked another player to board your vehicle so that they drive off the map • Ninja - Jump behind a player that was behind you and pummble or assassinate them • Ninja Spree - 5 Ninja kills in a row without dying. • Ninja Frenzy - 10 Ninja kills in a row without dying. • One with the Shadows! - 15 Ninja in a row without dying. • Long Shot - Kill another player across the map with a Standard primary or secondary weapon. • Long Drop - Assassinate or pummble another player after dropping from a great height Thats all the new medals I could think of. If you have a better name for them, let me know and I might update it later. ----------------------------------------------- Gameplay Info given to the player In Halo: Reach, when your teammate was killed it would say "player 1 was killed by player 2" and if your teammate killed an enemy player, it would say "Player 1 killed Player 2". In Halo 4, it just said "Player 1 killed Player 2". You couldn't tell who was on your team unless you knew from the beginning who was on your team. Also in Halo 4 if one player killed another player with the sniper, it again just said "Player 1 killed Player 2" instead of "Player 1 sniped Player 2". It was the same thing when someone beat down the other player. I really liked how Halo: Reach did it because you could tell how you or someone on the other team was killed. It gave you more information on what weapon your team was using but also what weapons the other team was using. Examples: Player 1 killed Player 2 Player 1 was killed by Player 2 Player 1 sniped Player 2 Player 1 was sniped by other Player 2 Player 1 splattered Player 2 Player 1 was splattered by Player 2 Player 1 stuck Player 2 Player 1 was stuck by Player 2 Player 1 lasered Player 2 Player 1 was lasered by Player 2 Player 1 assassinated Player 2 Player 1 was assassinated by Player 2 Player 1 pummbled Player 2 Player 1 was pummbled by Player 2 Player 1 beat down Player 2 Player 1 was beat down by Player 2 Halo: Reach gave us more information than Halo 4 ever did. More information to the player so he/she could think more strategically and think of what approach to take. I hope they bring this back and add the oddball assassinations, airsassinations and flagsassinations senerios. Plus bring back pummbled medals. Example: Player 1 flagsassinated Player 2 Player 1 was flagsassinated by Player 2 I also want it to go back to how it used to be when the announcer said "1 Minute Remaining", "30 Seconds Remaining" and "10 Seconds Remaining" instead of 1 Minute Left", "30 Seconds Left" and "10 Seconds". It just doesnt feel Halo-ish to me, it didn't like how it was said in Halo 4. I want the announcer to talk like he did in Halo 3 and Halo: Reach. I didn't like the sound of the voice in Halo 4 as much. ----------------------------------------------- Thanks for everyone that read this and if any member 343 Industries saw and read all this. Remember that non of this is confirmed except for 60 FPS and Dedicated Servers. To 343 Industries, please take all of this into consideration. Special Thanks to Pureeey, HaloFollower and Wangtime: The Reclaimer for there ideas. Please be sure to tell me what you want in Halo 5 and to also send me feedback about this list. Both positive and negative responses are welcome. Tegether we can make Halo 5 the very best it can be!

This is something I want 343 to see and read, to take notes on what we the community what in Halo 5. So if any member of 343 reads this, although it is highly unlikely, please tell us out of everything in this list tell us what can and cannot be done on this list as there is a brand new Engine used in Halo 5 and it may not be capable of putting some of the stuff mentioned on this list in the game itself Halo 5 Multiplayer & Firefight [updated] Made by The RZI Guy All of these are the changes I made to the list, if you have any other suggestions, and if I like them, I will update it and give you credit for your awesome ideas. So if you like it and even if you don't like it, or want a few changes, please give me your thoughts so we can possibly make Halo 5 the best it can be. One person does not make a game, one Company does not make a game, it is a collaberation of many great minds who work out there thoughts and visions for something and make it into reality. [Thanks to Pureeey for some of his ideas, and corrections for what Halo 5 Multiplayer should be.] Thel' Vadamee Returns Not even a Multiplayer idea, but please bring Thel' Vadam The Arbiter back in Halo 5's Campaign and give him a role instead of being there for "just" the love of the fans! Halo: Escalation will be coming out in 1 month and that might be there way of bringing Arby into Halo 5. Lets hope so. Halo 2 Anniversary I think that after they make and release Halo 5 next year, they should make a Campaign DLC add on. Think about it, Halo 5 is coming out 10 years after Halo 2, so what if 343 actually made a Halo 2 Anniversary Campaign DLC for Halo 5, there would no multiplayer like they did with Halo: Anniversary, just a Full HD remake Halo 2's Campaign, this will bring Hundreds of Thousands of Halo Players back to Halo 5 to relive the glory days of Halo 2. Multiplayer Gameplay Halo 5 on the Xbox One has both Social and Ranked Playlists make a return with Custom Loadouts being in the Social Playlist. Both Custom Loadouts, like Halo 4 but "without armor abilities or perks" and also have Equipment being scattered around the map return. Preset Loadouts like with Halo: Reach but without armor abilities and instead having Equipment scattered across the map will also be in Halo 5. The Social Playlist will have Sprint and it would be a default ability like in Halo 4. Some of the Equipment are the old equipment from Halo 3, while some of them are old Armor Abilities that have been turned into an Equipment you pick up, instead of starting with it like an Armor Ability. I'll explain it later. In the Ranked Playlist, it will have a Halo 3-like set up with everyone spawning with the same Primary, secondary, grenade type and having Equipment scattered across the Map. Sprint "will not" be in the Ranked Playlist. Satisfying both players that like or hate Sprint. Both Social and Ranked will have Duel Wielding. Resupply becomes avaliable to everyone in both the Ranked and Social Playlists like it should have been in Halo 4. [Having resupply become a perk in Halo 4 and not being avaliable to everyone like its always been from Halo CE to Reach is rediculous.] [i would like to have Sprint, Evade and a new addition Slide from Destiny and Cod: Ghosts into Halo 5, but I don't know how to balance it out, or make it work out. I would like to have it all in one gametype somehow so if anyone has any idea of how to make it work, please comment and of course I will give you credit for this idea and any other idea you may have.] In Halo 4, When you are scoped in and someone shoots at you, you could still shoot at them while scoped. I loved that addition in Halo 4 as it would get annoying in other Halo games to have keep getting in and out of scope. That will also return. Players can join in midgame, but only in the first few minutes of the Game. Hitmarkers returns, but No Grenade Indicators. Weapon Skins will return in the few Playlists in Social that have Custom Loadouts, and Firefight (343 said they have no plans for Spartan Ops Season 2 so there will be no Spartan Ops in Halo 5). Another idea is that maybe we could choose different designs for each weapon. Like being able to choose between the Halo: Reach and Halo 4 Assault Rifle designs or the Halo 3 and Halo 4 Battle Rifle. There would be no difference in gameplay other than having a different layout of the weapon and also having a Weapon Skin along with whichever weapon design you choose, giving the player a ton of varietiy and customization. [Thanks to Wangtim3 for the idea of different weapon models, or at least that's where I got the idea.] Halo 5 Equipment Like I said earlier, Halo 3 Equipment returns but some of them are some of the old armor abilities from Reach and Halo 4. The Armor Abilities that are returning are no longer Armor Abilities but are now as Equipment like Halo 3 had it. The Bubble Shield, Jet Pack, Active Camoflage, Radar Jammer, Regeneration Field, Thruster Pack, Flare and Power Drain all return. The Regeneration Field, Bubble Shield, Power Drain, Active Camo, Radar Jammer, and Flair will be like in Halo 3, it will only be used once. The Jet Pack can be used only for a limited time before it breaks, it will not break if you dont use it. the Thruster Pack will be usable until the player dies in which another player can pick it up. Custom Game Matchmaking Halo 5 could have a feature that lets you choose what map and what gametype you want to play and searches other players that want the same map and gametype. There would be two playlists for this. • 1) it would only be default Maps and default Gametypes giving you XP for playing it as it normally would. • 2) it would be for Custom Made Maps and Gametypes and you would get no XP as it would be for players that want to have Custom Games and want to find other players to play those custom games as it can be hard to find enough people to play Custom Games. Plus there would be people that purposly try to rig the map so they win, so again, you would not get any XP so there wouldn't be a reason to cheat or rig the map. This would help solve both finding people for your custom games and others players that try to cheat. Destructible Environments Halo 5 Multiplayer should also have destructible Environments, wall panals can fall of, certain man cannons can be destroyed. No buildings can be destroyed in multiplayer. Halo 5 should feature some player-triggered environmental hazards like floors that can be electricized like in Vertigo in Halo 4, another good example is High Ground from Halo 3. Another thing is that in the Halo 4 Campaign level Infinity, when driving the Mantis, you could destroy some bridges above the player. Perhapes something similar could be seen in Halo 5 Multiplayer. Ist Person Driving When driving a vehicle, air or ground, by pressing the thumbstick you can switch between 1st Person or 3rd Person when Driving a vehicle like in Battlefield 3. Creating a whole new driving experience in Halo. The same can be done when holding the Flamethrower or any Covenant or UNSC Turret, by pressing the thumbstick, you can switch between 1st and 3rd Person. Custom Emblems Like in Cod: Black Ops, you should be able to create and customize your own emblem. Now of course, there will be people who will make sexual pictures or anything else that is innapropriate, so while you can make your own emblem, anyone who makes an innapropriate emblem in Halo 5 will lose there ability to do so and will go back to Halo's original way of making a Halo emblem. You can choose to have the classic way of making an emblem if you choose to do so. Duel Weilding Returns Duel Wielding returns better than Ever! You can sprint when duel wielding without dropping your weapons. Armor Customization In Halo 5, I would like to transfer my Halo 4 armor configuration into Halo 5. Like how you could transfer your Mass Effect Character from Mass Effect to Mass Effect 2 and 2 to 3. The Armor configuration you have in Halo 4 would transfer over and only that armor set would transfer, no other armor set would transfer over so you have to choose wisely as to what armor that you liked in Halo 4 to bring over to Halo 5. Although this idea of transfering you're armor to Halo 5 is probably just me, which I understand if some people don't like the idea. To unlock armor in Halo 5 you should have to do Vidmasters Achievements which I think need to return and also make more Vidmaster Challanges than Bungie did with Halo 3 and ODST, playing the Campaign Solo on Legendary, finding Skulls and Terminals in the Campaign and any other Campaign Achievements. Now some armor could be unlocked in Multiplayer, but they need to take time and real effort to try to unlock them. In Halo 4 it was too easy, in Halo 5, it needs to have a challange trying to get the Armor you want, so you actually have a reason to play multiplayer. Also many of the old Armor from Halo 3 and Halo: Reach that were forgotten in Halo 4 needs to make a return These Armor Confingurations need to return. Halo 3 Armor Returning Mark VI Mark V EVA (Halo 3 Design) CQB EOD Hayabusa [Definetly!] ODST Helmet (Halo 3 Design) Marathon Helmet Rogue Helmet Halo: Reach Armor Returning Recon CQC Hazop Operator Scout (Reach Design) Commando JFO Grenadier Sniper Sholders Jump Jet Halo 4 Armor Returning Recruit Warrior Air Assault Soldier Aviator Defender EVA (Halo 4 Design) War Master Orbital EOD (Halo 4 Design) Pathfinder Rogue C.I.O Venator Raider Scanner Strider Mark V (Halo 4 Design) ODST (Halo 4 Design) Prefect Ricochet Vanguard All Halo 4 Forearms, legs and all Visor Colors. Keep in mind, I think they should keep multiple designs for some of these Armor configurations like Scout, Mark V, ODST, EOD, EVA etc to satisfy players that like one one armor design from one game over another [Example me prefering the Halo 4 Scout Helmet over the Reach Scout Helmet] Elites Epic Return Elites Return in Halo 5 Multiplayer with Customizable Armor and are Playable with Spartans in Team Games like in Halo 3 with no difference except size, so playing as an Elite is your own choice and your own risk. You can also choose to play as a Spartan or an Elite at the Beginning of the Game, like choosing a side in Star Wars Battlefront, instead of having to switch between Spartans and Elites before the Game like in Halo 3, you can choose before you first spawn. When the Elites are teaming with Spartans like in Halo 3, the Elites start off with the same weapon as then, except for a few gametypes in which they can start with a Storm Rifle, Plasma Rifle, Covenant Carbine etc. I also want to have the Plasma Repeater from Halo: Reach to return, but it is now a Covenant LMG. When the Elites get the Thruster Pack, they get the Evade Ability instead, but both would have to be balanced equally with the same distance and recharge time. Elites also have the default ability to Sprint if they are in the Social Playlist but will not be able to sprint in the Ranked Playlist as there will be no sprint in the Ranked Playlist. Elites are in both Ranked and Social Playlists. Also an Elite Playlist would be a choice in the Social Playlist Gametypes for everyone who wants to play as an Elite. Medals Weapon spree medals were given a significant overhaul in Halo: Reach. While in previous games they were only awarded for consecutive kills with the same weapon, in Halo: Reach, the player needed to only accumulate the number of kills without dying. Halo: Reach had the best Medal System in any Halo Game. Halo 5 needs to have another overhaul bigger than that. Having" all" the Gameplay Medals in Halo: Reach and all the new objective and other new medals that were added in Halo 4. (New Medals) Vengence - kill the opponent who just ended your killing spree These Multiplayer Gametypes should make a return in Halo 5 1. Dominion - Halo 4 2. Extraction - Halo 4 3. Headhunter - Halo: Reach 4. Infection and Flood - Halo 3 & 4 5. Invasion/Invasion Slayer - Halo: Reach 6. Race - Halo: Reach 7. Regicide - Halo 4 8. Stockpile - Halo: Reach 9. Conquest - Battlefield 10. Gun Game - Halo 4 Mod 11. Hostage Rescue - Halo 4 Mod 12. Space Battle - Battlefront II 13. Search and Destroy - CoD 14. King of the Hill 15. Assault 16. Capture the Flag/One Flag CTF 17. Elite Slayer 18. Griffball 19. Generater Defense 20. Juggernaut 21. King of the Hill 22. Oddball 23. Silenced Slayer 24. SWAT 25. Team Snipers 26. Territory 27. VIP Cature the Flag Capture the Flag obviously returns in Halo 5. you still hold a pistol when carrying the flag like in Halo 4, but now returns the ability to drop the flag whenever you want like all Halo games before Halo 4. In a few varients of CTF, you cannot drop the flag, for those that like that change in Halo 4. You can have those settings in custom gametypes as well. Multiplayer Space Battles Much like Star Wars: Battlefront II, Halo 5 should have Space battles. Each team have 4 seperate hangers, 2 players in each of them. It will be 8v8, each team spawns in a hanger, gets into a Pelican, Broadsword etc and has to destroy parts of the enemy ship, and kill other players on the other team. It can be UNSC vs. Covenant Space Battle, Red vs. Blue Spartans Space Battles with two UNSC Frigate Ships and/or it could be Red vs. Blue Elites Space Battles with two Covenant Ships. Capture the Flag and Assault would also be available in Space Battles. Also have some other gametypes like trying to download data from the enemy teams ship and returning it to your ship, or have a Hostage Rescue gametype. When playing CTF you would have to take the flag in a Pelican and have someone drive you back to you're ship, promoting more teamwork in CTF. Silenced Slayer Silenced Slayer is regular Team Slayer where every weapon has a silencer attached to it. Except Rocket Launcher, Spartan Laser, Rail Gun and Sticky Detonator. No Covenant Weapons. Everyone Spawns with a Silenced SMG and No duel Wielding in this gametype. True Skill Ranking System Halo 3's True Skill ranking system for its matchmaking on a per-playlist basis. A linear measure of a player's experience with the matchmade portion of the game and each particular playlist is also tracked (denoted as EXP), but make it as or even more difficult than it was in Halo 2 and 3. Active Roster Returns to show you who is online, what they are doing and join them if avaliable Firefight Firefight would return in Halo 5 like its always been, with no major difference. You could fight against the Covenant like before, but you could finally fight the Flood in firefight and now you could also fight against the Promeatheans and even the Innsurectionists from the Halo Novels. If you want, you can play as an Elite and fight against another Spartan like in Halo: Reach's Firefight. You could also play as any other Covenant, Flood or Promeathean in Firefight against Spartans. Kind of like Horde Mode from Gears of War. So if you want to play as a Grunt or Jackel, you can finally do that. If you want to play as a Covenant against a Spartan, but don't have anyone to play with or don't have Xbox Live, the Spartans would also be an AI to play against making it easy or hard to fight, choosing the difficulty settings you want for it. You can also Forge your own map and play a Firefight on it, but only in custom games but it could make it into firefight matchmaking if 343 approves it. Space Firefight In Halo 5, they should bring back Firefight, but bring it back with a bang. Bring back Firefight on the ground and in Space. You would start in a hanger and would be able to choose if you want to fly a Pelican, Longsword, Broadsword or any other UNSC Flying Vehicle in Space Firefight to fight against the Covenant, "or" you could play as a Covenant and you could fly in a Phantom, Seraph, Space Banshee from Reach or any other Covenant Flying Vehicle against the UNSC. in Halo 4, storyline wise, Multiplayer is a simulation aboard the UNSC Infinity, Firefight and Space Firefight would also be a simulation aboard the Infinity to show other players how long the Player could last against the Covenant, Promeatheans or the Flood etc Halo 5 Multiplayer Map Packs Halo 5 should have 4 or even 5 Map Packs. Each Map Pack has 3 New maps, 1 Map Remake from a past Halo Game and 1 brand New Firefight Map. Halo 5 should have 5 Forge Worlds 1. Forge World (Bigger) - Reach 2. Impact (Bigger) - Halo 4 3. A Lava filled Forge World 4. A Snowy Forge World 5. A Desert Forge World And other Huge Maps for Forge. Possibly twice or even 3 times as big as Forge world. Please watch these 2 videos Halo 5's Forge needs this! Civilian Vehicles and all. Out of all the Multiplayer Maps, I want 1. Waterworks from Halo 2 2. Breakneck from Halo 2 and Halo: Reach/Anniversary 3. Coagulation from Halo 2 4. Last Resort from Halo 3 - All to return sometime in Halo 5 Halo 5 Weapons U.N.S.C.

Thel Vadamee (The Arbiter), and the Elites that want peace with Humanity assist Master Chief and the UNSC against the Storm Covenant and the Prometheans. The Forerunners Return, learning of the Didacts Return (Somehow) return to the Galaxy to Stop the Didact, bring Peace between the Elites, the Covenant and Humanity, & give the Mantle of Responsibility to Humanity by giving them back the technology they once held and full control of the Halo Array Remember the Halo 4 Prologue.

What if the Didact invaded Earth & the Environment at that part could be part of the Level. The Didact Retreats and now believes the Only way to stop Humanity from Obtaining the Mantle is to Fire the Halo Array.
