Halo needs a skull that mimics the end of halo reach that the cracks get worse every mission you beat.
What I would want in halo 5:
Dual wield
Energy sword bayonet
Brute shot
Hijackable scarabs
New* plasma cover gun dropped by hunters. Covers target with plasma and takes away shields or the hunters join the unsc because the Covenant have lied to them.
Keep the prometheans
The prometheans joined up with the covenant
Portal 2 testing room Easter egg
