Weapons, Armour and Animation.

With the weapons I'm hoping for a much larger variety, like having both assault rifle's where the 32 round is stronger, more accurate and is thinner, the 60 has a faster fire rate, is weaker and looks thicker, so in the end it will equal the 32 AR. Just things like that, having a larger weapon choice, bringing back old weapons like the mauler and brute shot. as well as adding in new ones. Also with the needler, the halo reach one needs the shield down to go boom, and halo 4 one doesn't (but needs 7 needles), the reach needler could be a loadout weapon a halo 4 needler could be a power weapon.

 

If they are bringing elites back as a playable specie then they should be fully customizable. And if they're keeping the unlock the weapons yourself thing then they could have separate ranks for spartan and elite, you unlock the weapons for that specie as it ranks up and the weapon become usable for both. when you first start your spartan you get to choose between the 32 or the 60 round AR and either the 8 rounds (scoped) or 12 rounds (faster fire rate), when you first start the elite you can choose between plasma rifle, repeater, or storm rifle with the plasma pistol (and maybe a new pistol for the covenant).

If they do this then for promethean weapons (sorry for the huge read) you should be able to be humanoid promethean knight or even a forerunner.

If they bring brutes back you should be able be one of them as well and you choose start with either the spiker or the brute plasma rifle.

 

with assassinations, if you can showstop someone by a beat down then you should be able to assassinate someone performing an assassination, if you're saving a team-mate then the medal should be called something like "Not on my watch", if it's a free for all and you have a headshot capable side-arm then you should not only kill the attacker but steal the victim as well with the medal "The Spotlights Mine". However you need to be really lucky to getthis because whenever i assassinate on reach or 4 i always change the camera angle so i cant beat down. It would awesome if 343 did this, and made eacg save/steal different for each assassination.

Nice assasinations idea there

imagine, 2 teams of 16, a Frigate and a corvette/cruiser. spartans Vs elites. 1 person from each is chosen to pilot the ships and fly them around in a huge sector of space, 1 person works the weapons. everyone else, full scale space war with sabres, pelicans, seraphs and phantoms. objective, board the enemy vessel, target main power core and destroy it.

pelicans and phantoms can carry team-mates who can freely move around or sit down on the seats, the pilots of them can open the doors (and use the phantoms grav lift).
