My Halo 5 ideas

[Axilus Prime]

I generally try to avoid making threads like this, but eventually I started to wonder what you guys would think if they did this.

 

So, here goes.

 

First off, general gameplay style.

 

-No more custom loadouts. It was a good experiment. Someone had to test it. But honestly, there are too many ways to create an overpowered combination with this. 

-Armor Abilities are good. I do prefer them over equipment. But Reach had better AA's. Even Armor Lock is fine with me, but I don't care if they put it in or leave it out. If they put it in, maybe they should nerf it so it only reduces damage, or has a shorter duration. As for how they are picked, Reach Slayer style.

-Fixed loadouts are ok with me. Like Reach's Invasion and Firefight loadouts. But an even start with only a choice of AA is also fine with me. Maybe for different gametypes.

-Speaking of which, include a Slayer Classic variant that has fixed spawn weapons and no AA's, for the big fans of the old games. In fact, a set of certain gametypes would be sufficient to please everyone.

-Make customs better, make Forge better (It's so clunky and awkward), and make Theater better. Allow for actual recording in Theater to save as a video file that is visible in-game, on the Waypoint site, and available for online streaming there or download.

-No ordnance. It's not hard to pick up a weapon on the map. And that way, there's a chance to prevent people from just camping until they get a power weapon.

-Make the weapons less like counterparts to each other. Reach did this well, 4 did not. 3 was passable in this regard. But I think a Sniper Rifle and Beam Rifle that basically do the same thing is redundant and lame.

 

Secondly, Campaign.

-Bring back Campaign Scoring and Matchmaking. There was no point to removing this. Seriously.

-Put the Arbiter in. He was a great character, and seeing him redesigned in HD graphics would be great. I wouldn't even mind if he was ugly like the H4 Elites, it's his character and awesomeness that matter. (Though I do want his armor to be good.)

-Good music. Halo 4 had awesome, possibly the best music...in the last level. The rest was meh. We need more music diversity, and some of the older tracks, or at least references to them like how Reach frequently references Halo 3's soundtrack.

-A proper bossfight. A powerful enemy that isn't all scripted like Guilty Spark, or a lame damage sponge/OHK monster like Tartarus. Something unique, challenging, and awesome.

-I don't care whether they keep or leave the QTE's, but they should spice up the campaign with several unique moments, like the Scarab battles of H3, and the Sabre flight of Reach. There is so much they can do here.

 

Third, Firefight.

-Bring it back, with all that customizability.

-Give it a Matchmaking function, obviously.

-Not much to change here.

 

Fourth, Spartan Ops.

-I don't care if they bring it back or leave it. If they do...

-Make it unique and immersive, with less button pressing. Make it truly like a second campaign, not a redundant failure that is an insult to Firefight, which it was originally meant to replace.

-Make the story significant to the Halo universe, and make the player characters a big part of it. Not Fireteam Majestic or any of that crap.

 

Fifth, Graphics.

-Return to the gritty, realistic look of Halo Reach, but with textures beyond Reach and CG model complexity beyond Halo 4. The new Xbox is coming out, there is no excuse not to have the best graphics to ever come out at the time of Halo 5's release.

 

Finally, Armor.

-Make it look GOOD. Reach and 3 did this perfectly, but more than half of Halo 4's armor is crap.

-Do NOT make the armor give you perks or anything. Do away with perks altogether. Even if they did put perks back for some inconceivable reason, they should be barely noticeable, and not be linked to the armor. Otherwise we'll be forced to look like something we don't want to look like if we want to function well, which is just lame.

 

So, tell me what you guys think!

Well im not in for the multiplayer any more cuz it feels like halo dont have any thing to give the gaming world any more, even if i have loved all halo games in the past espacilly the multi, and camp. Maybe its just me growing away from the gaming :/ but i do still hope they will fix the campaign in h5, it should be dark and massive i want the flood top return cuz what is halo without the flood or the rings? (thats why it was origanily bould..) but as you said return arby, and also the brutes/prophets, didact and Jul, but dont let out rest of the races. dont focus to much on that cortana thing but it can still be in the game but not like its going to be the main story of the game cuz if i want to play some romantic bullsh it cuz that is not halo in my eyes.

i also want to se some spartans die and not agianst 10 elites cuz the elites and all other races must av some crazy good warriors as well. cuz if u look in h4 the alites seems to suck balls. Even put a hunter in some cutscene wanna se them in action to.

 

343 much do some realy good thing about camp, multi if i even going to buy h5, cuz thats the only reason i have to on a xbox (buy the new one) H4 had its moment but it was bad. sure some folks wont agre with me one bit but this is my bad opinion.

i love the loadouts abit but like you said it is op so maybe allowthem to choice primary weapons no secondary weapon and maybe allow perks.

Id like spike grenades and the utilities like the "death orb" from halo 3.
