Possibly too badass. If it's too OP, then it'll be to a Rocket Launcher what a Rocket Launcher is to a Boltshot

That's interesting, and it does make sense. Maybe they should just bring the Falcon back for Halo 5, but let people ride in the passenger seats.

Ryu, your perk idea would probably be in the Mobility tree, if anything. Increased movement and sprint speed, as well as ledge grab would also be in there.

That's probably a great idea. Although it doesn't give you random encounters with other Spartans. Maybe have your own little bit of land to forge something, but you have to find it?

This idea is very interesting, although I would like it to affect vehicles though. Maybe have it immobilize you for 2 seconds due to an animation, as well as making you unable to shoot. I'd definitely use it.

Yeah, something like that

Indeed, but my idea is that there are no perks that make you ultra-invincible. Nothing improves your damage resistance or damage dealt, and nothing gives you a super-bomb

Thing is, I have a super fast connection, and it doesn't help

This is probably the greatest post ever. Of all time. And I agree with both counts. The first one makes me think that adding new things such as static shield generators and an actual door system would also be a great boost, and seeing them torn apart my a Scorpion shell... just the though makes me laugh with excitement! Thank you for the greatest idea and post ever. Of all time.

Not true, the Falcon always gave the gunners the better guns, even in campaign.

Sort of, but I mean it'd be like a long-term thing, where you build up a camp, maybe get some of your friends into your camp, find weapons and vehicles, and eventually maybe escape.

Ryu, you'd be able to get all the perks, you would just have to work a bit more for them, although your idea is also quite interesting. Wildfire, I'm not too sure about that. Borderlands 2's perk system did leave me wanting those other 2 major things.

I think that 5 missions per episode is enough. I already have a hard enough time beating all of them on my own in 2 hours. Speaking of, maybe 343 could patch the Spartan Ops lag whenever I'm playing with anyone???

So here's an idea: why not have at the start of Halo 5 the Infinity crash-landing on a Covenant-occupied Forerunner planet, and the Spartans have to survive long enough to get off it? It could pave the way for many new gameplay mechanics, such as repair of vehicles, stationary shield generators (kinda like Halo 3's bubble shield, but with a bigger radius and completely stationary, already deployed), and maybe custom personalisation of loadout weapons? (Custom skins, modifying the screens and scope looks, etc

I personally think that you should be able to play as your Spartan in campaign as well as Master Chief

I agree, they should be Forerunner vehicles, not Promethean ones. Also, another idea: Troop Transport: One pilot armed with an MG-style gun, and then 4-6 passengers which can't use their weapons. Allows for aerial transport of a large amount of troops, but very vulnerable to AA fire, even from a turret on the ground.

I agree, dual wielding energy swords would just make anyone who got a pair completely overpowered in CQB

Well maybe some modifications are in order for the VTOL then. Maybe have the pilot in control of a light MG, like a SAW-style weapon as far as accuracy, ROF and power are concerned, and then have a couple gunners in control of a heavier MG and a single pod rocket launcher?

Swift, I get that, but if there's no way to get any major boosts, then what's the problem? Wildfire, yeah, you're right, certain things do have to be limited, and the trees would be unlocked over certain periods of time.

Yeah, I agree. Maybe something like a slower Wraith with no boost and a heavy Incineration Cannon would be better.

The Spectre was a pretty awesome vehicle, but if I have to be honest, I understand why it didn't show up in Halo 3. The infinite boost coupled with the Plasma Cannon turret did make it overpowered. With the new gameplay mechanics, though, I think it would be fun if it made a comeback. Promethean Vehicles I think sound awesome. Jump in, and it modifies its structure around your Spartan. A tank firing heavy Incineration Cannon shots, maybe with a Pulse Turret or something, would probably be my new favourite vehicle. The only trick is to balance them with other vehicles. Dual-Wielding I kind of understand, although I have a slightly better idea. Have a variant of some loadout weapons (Plasma Pistol, Magnum, SMG, etc) where it's dual wield. More firepower, but longer to reload, less aiming, and no grenade-throwing capabilities. It'd probably be awesome, and dual Needlers would be the ultimate Campaign/Ops weapon.

Competitive multiplayer has been an integral part of Halo since the very first Halo. Removing it takes away a part of Halo that makes it great. Yes, there are those who don't play multiplayer, but many people do, and there is no way for a Halo game to be as great as the previous Halo games without competitive multiplayer. I'm sorry, baconshelf, but you're wrong.

That would probably be the most awesome vehicle ever. Of all time.

Yeah, but so do the Flood, but you're right, a selection would be better

Drop Shield I want back. Armor Lock not so much. There's a reason 343 kept it out of Halo 4, and it's a damn good one
