Halo 5 needs these 2 things:
  1. A Custom Games Browser
  2. An Invasion mode that is both PvE and PvP, so something like 4 Spartans against 4 human-controlled Covenant/Forerunners teamed with AI
Spawning as a Suicide Grunt would be badass. How about a Brute where once you're about to die, you go berserk? Unlimited possibilities to draw in more people outside of just the competitive multiplayer we've seen.

I really hope they go massive with their "new" Big Team Battle. I may be the only one with this opinion, but I am even more interested in this than any Arena Halo (which is also a good direction, but still ... I want something huge, massive scaled Halo).

I did a big post a while back about something like this; 16 vs. 16, humans vs. Covenant, AI hangers-on. Both sides start in opposing fortresses, you have to destroy the other team's fort to win. This involves stuff like assassinating AI commanders, blowing up landing pads and vehicle pools, taking down AA and walls, all sorts of stuff.

In Halo 5 I want a vote to kick option. Kind of like what you can do in CS:GO. I was just playing a game of CTF on shrine and one of my teammates would keep running the flag back to the enemy base whenever we got it half way across the map. We tried to communicate with him but he wasn't listening. I bet he had a friend on the enemy team, was split up from him, and tried to help him win. It sucked and we didn't get a single cap because of it. If I could have called a vote to kick him I would have done it in a heart beat.

I think this might be my most wanted feature for Halo 5. Let me call a vote to kick and if my other two teammates (or just more than 50% of other teammates in games with more than 4v4) agree then get that toxic teammate out of my game.

Halo definitely needs a vote to kick and it's something that's rarely mentioned, but universally wanted lol

I think there are a lot of people like this, whether or not they post on forums. Halo's a game that lends itself well to tight arena combat, but also large scale battles because of its vehicle sandbox.

I think the main thing keeping vote to kick out is those old games didn't have join in progress. Like, you can boot somebody out on Left 4 Dead or Team Fortress 2 or Counter Strike(to name a bunch of Valve games), but somebody could theoretically join up on the server/lobby to help you out after he leaves. In Halo 2, some dude deleveling in matchmaking? Guess you better hold dat L or try to stand next to him and get the betrayal or some shit.

Vote to kick is just too open to abuse in MM.

What would make sense is algorithms that would add weight to your 'betrayal boot' chances.

Pick up the flag and hold it without moving or take it back past the halfway point of the map? Boot weight goes up.

All it takes is for HGS to go into 4v4 play with a party of five and proceed to start booting people if they don't agree to be the sheep in Oddbase Swordball.

If you don't move at all for an entire game, you should be banned from MM for a month. If you don't want to play, quit.

Got an AFXer three games in a row. How hard is it to detect them and not let them join/boot them from MM? We had that tech years ago in Halo 3 IIRC (people would use rubber bands to get around it).

Halo CE is seriously the best game ever. I need to start recording my matches.. We were losing by 20 kills on Derelict while they were donging, owning the top of the map with Power-ups and Snipers. Kept my team in the game, we all coordinated so frikkin well, and swiftly came back to win by 5 kills.

Incredible feeling, what a rush. We were seriously getting destroyed and I think most people would've been demoralized if they don't understand that you can come back in this game if you're on point.

Reach detected it even if you rubber banded your controller. The bans never happen mid-game, though, they're applied after the game ends.

Who knows if that code is still running somewhere in the MCC

Yeah, it's really annoying, and seems like an extremely obvious feature to have.
Click to expand...

The bone is missing a ton of features that would give parity with not just the PS4, but also the 360.

I can't stream music while I Halo? C'mon.
I can't turn off the stupid loud and annoying system sounds? C'mon.
I can't take a screenshot? C'mon.


I could go on for a while but these three bug me every single time I use the shitty console.

Jesus.. now playing Halo 2 Midship with Plasma Rifle starts lmfao

:( Happened to me yesterday, reminded me of my first ever Halo 2 game just over 10 years ago at a friend's birthday party. Thankfully, when I finally started playing on XBL two and a half years later, I never played that again
until 343 stuck their heads up their asses and released the MCC with launch gametypes for H2/H3

Also, far from the worse thing with this game but I haven't seen it mentioned yet: is anyone else finding the Roster UI painful to read? The text is way too small on top of being white on white (wtf???)

Oh in reality definitely. Yet here I am, still searching. Maybe I should go back and finish H1, went through the Library earlier, I'm in the minority that likes that level :D Now Cortana on the other hand...

How's Halo 4's campaign? I was disgusted by what little I saw of the MP, but hopefully the campaign is not so bad.

Why not make Sprint an exclusive spartan ability when you pick a special power melee weapon like the prophets bane instead? That way other abilities that require sprint can only be achieved as long as the player wields that special power weapon.

Sprint only allowed while holding Sword is a great idea.

I wonder if the AR sound in Halo 3 is caused by that. It sure doesn't sound like an assault rifle firing...

I'm really not looking forward to starting Halo 3 on legendary. The difference the updated graphics and sounds made for Halo 2 Is unbelievable. I thoroughly enjoyed doing legendary Halo 2.

Except for jackal snipers
And having to do Gravemind twice
And having to do Delta Halo twice

The AR in Halo 3 sounds so lame.




Pretty sure it's too late to lose sprint. All the maps are going to made to accommodate sprint. And to reverse it would be too much work before launch. It's a core part of the gameplay now.

We're just gonna be left behind. The casual crowd has the numbers advantage. Their like the Flood. Flood with packed wallets.

Every other version of the AR feels like it packs more of a punch and has better sound. No idea why they did that to the AR in 3. Even the H2A MP AR seems alright.
