I'd say fuck the open world, it's not 'Halo'! It messes up the 'Halo experience' that we love, that intensity you know? Just give us a kick ass campaign like those of the Bungee games. Or do open world-ISH stuff like ODST

[@fabiancarrascalsalazar5793]

Not really. Open world is in Halo. but rather simple / basic versions of it. the level Halo and Silent Cartographer while not open world in the sense we are used to right now still gave you freedom to roam around and find everything going on in the island or in the valleys and even interacting with those events that didn't necessarily affect the narrative being told during the mission. That's the sort of Open world-ish that should be in main line halo games

I love exploring in games but it shouldn't come at the expense of a visually impressive cinematic experience which is easiest to create in a linear hand crafted narrative.

Halo 7 will need to be; Content complete at launch (Campaign, multiplayer, forge, firefight, theater) Post Launch Support (A plan for supporting the game immediately after launch with new maps, modes, weapons, vehicles and not a 6 months to a year promise of things to come into the game.) Social features for finding other players to play with, being able to join up with others in post game lobbies, voting system to choose maps or modes in matchmaking. Credit system for unlocking cosmetics. Earnable in game by playing campaign, multiplayer, firefight or forge,but allow for those that want to pay to skip playing to buy credits to unlock cosmetics. Allow for full customization control by the player. No colors locked behind paywall, or other stupid parting out of the customization experience through a shop. I really don’t feel like this is asking for a lot as a long time fan of the series.

A warzone mode that is not pay-to-win 7. don't kill important characters or make important events off-screen or in novels 8. if they do it live service make it like Helldivers 2 or Destiny 1 ( with major DLC expansions every 1 or 2 years, No free to play, no seasons, and an easily earnable in-game currency only for cosmetics) 9. maybe a new game engine ( Blam it's almost 30 years old and it's been problematic, and Microsoft contractor policy isn't helping to ease development and the game to be full in release, so maybe a new engine that is easier to use will help).

Everyone is talking about the Flood and while that is a big part of Halo's story I think it would be more interesting to see some new Halo games taking place during the Human-Covenant War before 2552. You could even make it more interesting by having the player be a Marine or Army trooper instead of a Spartan, maybe with new vehicles we haven't seen outside of Halo Wars or the novels.

[@Aldhardt]

One thing I never understood about 343. They had a tried and true recipe for success. Halo was on top of the world, Halo 2 and 3 and especially reach was massive and beloved. All they had to do was continue that. And yet they did the exact opposite. They changed everything. Why? If it ain't broke don't fix it.

I like halo being casual it just fits never really saw it as a competitive game definitely more of a laid-back party room game in my opinion and I do hope they bring back split screen this time

[@DrunkRuski]

I feel they definitely fumbled the open world. Imagine if the whole map was a dynamic war zone, revolving around fighting back the banished. Humanity on the backfoot like in CE. Having to capture FOBs then the banished launching attacks to recapture them. The odd random/dynamic major event like having a Scarab drop in and a mass off phantoms/drop pods rain down onto a point of interest. Different side missions, maybe freeing an ODST company from a banished stronghold, then unfolding an ODST mini campaign/side quest within the world. Maybe having pelican transport call ins to transport you into objectives with marines, like the start of Silent Cartographer. Or even call in brohammer to pick you up and transport you rather than fast travel. Open worlds have so much potential for creative encounters and story.

[@jb1u23]

Yes so much potential but they spent too much time placing pillars and making armor bundles for $25

[@troywrzesinski9143]

343 it’s not that hard, imagine if we had things like playable elites, assassinations, feminine Spartans, a fun and organic progression and reward system that is Immersive and not overly monetized and generic. New enemies added to Forge like flood, promethean, covenant, heretic etc, new weapons, and vehicles, but vehicles that are unique and immersive like elephants, condor, pelicans, phantom, scarabs, or drop pods, make their destruction animations truly spectacular like halo 3. I’m talking big explosion with a lot of bloom and a lot of particles, with big chunks that turn into static objects in the environment, Halo’s destruction needs to look like art. Have the transport vehicles be used as spawn points in big modes, with a lot of room for your team. imagine vehicles that you can independently walk around inside of while they are moving around the map to make the sandbox more immersive, maybe even give some of them weapon and light vehicle storage space. We need guns that have different roles and behaviors Like the plasma rifle, brute shot, spartan laser. Saw, target locator etc. if they can’t do any of this because of balancing, then they are focusing way too hard on balancing, Or they are just bad at it. Because it shouldn’t be an excuse. modders are blowing them out of the water with this type of content. But under 343 I fear they are going to have a continued emphasis on monetized progression, and competitive arena balancing.

The thing about standards is they are essentially opinions, they’re different for everyone. I didn’t hate Halo Infinite, I thought it was exactly what the franchise needed. I hated Halo 5 though but some people loved it because of the multiplayer. I don’t play multiplayer. I play games for the campaigns and stories. I played Halo Infinite at launch and I thought it was great minus a couple things. There were a few things that were crucially missing from Infinite that would’ve made it an actual fantastic Halo game.

I disliked about Infinite’s campaign was how the player always had access to the best tools at all times, with no cost either in time searching for reloads or wasting the chance after finding it. Once you acquired a piece of equipment or weapon, you had permanent access to it. Combine that with the ability to upgrade said equipment, and you end up with a Just Cause situation which doesn’t feel healthy for a Halo campaign.

In Halo 7 development for multiplayer, i want to see a Laso playlist for the mutliplayer.

Here's the laso skulls I think would go well into the gameplay. And of course can make the game challenging. I wanted to give a revised countdown to the previous one I mentioned. As the countdown continues the skulls will be activated following after 15 minutes the mathematics are as follows. 14:00= Grunt Funeral Skull, 13:00= Birthday party skull 12:00=IWHBYD, 11:00= Cowbell, 10:00= Blind skull, 9:00=Mythic, 8:00= tilt, 7:00= thunderstorm, 6:00= Famine, 5:00= Fog, 4:00=Catch, 3:00= Promethean general, 2:00= Tough luck, 1:00= Black eye, 0:00= Iron. This revised list helps me to understand how time works differently in Halo games. And making the iron skull the elimination skull would make the game both fair and challenging.

Next story Campaign for Blue Team, Arbiter (Thel ‘Vadam) and Spirit of fire 4. Split-Screen and Co-op (2/4 Players play Campaign and Multiplayer) 3. More equipment 2.

Duel wielding

[@LovelyDilly630]

To put it simply. 343 took something beautiful had Halo, tried to make something different and their own, and failed miserably. They had so much potential to continue an amazing story. They had amazing characters, lore, environments, a whole universe! It just feels so wasted. I really hope Halo 7 can capture the same magic that Halo 2 and 3 had.

[@rave-eazy]

man as soon as that reach soundtrack came on.. memories

[@localinternetCrackhead]

I want a halo campaign where we can play as our Spartans again. Spartan ops does not even count

[@Finger112]

We need to see Halo Follower in Halo 7 as an actual NPC "Follower".

[@AxinPhoenix]

ODST’s being present is definitely going to make it or break it for me. Also just the story progressing in a meaningful way.

[@pododododoehoh3550]

Feels good to hear you say a new developer. All ive wanted for the longest time is mivrosoft to free the ip to developers who are actually interested in developing for it. I dont hate 343, I just dont like them much anymore, and they're all i get.

[@camsoup101]

I want Halo as big, expansive, open, and easy to contribute to as the Warhammer universe. That would save Halo.

[@Ravensbite]

10. Forge on release 9. Playable Elites and Brutes (have a new subspecies of brutes that arent as big and bulky to balance them for multiplayer) 8. An infection mode where players actually play as different Flood forms. Not the abominations from H4. (each flood form has their own abilities. Cloaking/Climbing walls/Tanky/Fast movement/etc. 7. Every weapon from every Halo game. (variety over balance any day) 6. Not be so competitive oriented. Halo is meant to be a social experience so be just that. Have dedicated Social and Ranked playlists (SBMM needs to not exist in social) 5. Linear campaign with awesome blockbuster set pieces (memorable campaign missions that I actually want to replay) 4. Not F2P. I want a shit ton of earnable cosmetics by achieving something in-game. The Road to Recon anyone? I want more of that. (the shop is here to stay but keep the prices affordable and items actually worth buying) 3. Outsource to create Forge maps BEFORE launch so there's a bigger map variety on release. 2. Flood in campaign/M rating. I want blood. Hell, I want limbs getting blown off by grenades. (I'm tired of the excuse that M rated games don't sell well. GTA/CoD/GoW/etc. beg to differ) 1. Splitscreen for campaign and multiplayer (offline play as well) I'll just add an additional one but a progressive ranking system on release.

[@reaperdokueki64]

Say bye to Mater Chief, I want more like Reach focused on your own spartan

[@otruwarrioro]

The complete lack of the covy carbine and beam rifle and the classic shotty and magnum makes infinite feel devoid of weapons. Also no classic SMG.

[@MCLegend13]

Split screen needs to come back I was playing Reach with a friend of mine a few months ago and we were like man I wish there was Splits screen in Infinite. CO: OP Campaign seems fun but come on splitscreen is something that would make Infinites campaign so much more fun.

[@leewilson5389]

343 needs to start paying attention and read the comments

[@Orange_Delfin]

Oooo what if dual wielding became a pickup? Like an “over clock” that allows the mjolnir system to go into overdrive and account for the firing and trajectory of 2 weapons? Just a thought and some in universe ecplination

[@Awakeonuwu]

They say “Finish the fight” but they can’t even finish the game so we can finish the freaking fight! 😭😭

[@bunch1]

As someone who doesn't play the multiplayer side of halo I can loose most of this list without a problem though I have no problem with the multiplayer being their for others. I do disagree with the flood returning, whenever the flood show up it feels like the game takes a nosedive. It's one of the reason's ODST and Reach are my top two Halo games, others being the squads. I want an engaging combat useful squad for the player character, either as Master Chief or someone else. They don't have to be on every mission, have solo missions or teaming up with one or two, even if just over the radio works just to keep them involved with the plot instead of disappearing for half the game. I'd also love to see the campaign designed to allow expansion packs that would add a few more missions and include things for the multiplayer like new weapons, maps, vehicles, modes, skins. If the base game has like 10-15 missions, the dlc get 3-5 missions plus multiplayer content, a third the content a third the price for $20-$25, just do that 4 times over the life of the game, either extending the main story or adding new mini campaigns, and that seems like a win-win to me.

[@GB-ev2cq]

I think that cookies should become an official game mode

[@Тимон-й9п]

Brute weapon, i mean TRUE BRUTE Weapon, like spiker, bruteshot, mauler.

[@JonMusiyon]

I’m.. pretty sure we’ve been talking about this for at least 9 years, actually

[@Wildgamer2205]

How about in Halo 7 we see a return of the UNSC army with more health, armor and heavier weapons/vehicles than the UNSC Marines/ODSTs with the Marines being used as light infantry an the ODSTs being used alongside Spartans and Elites as shock troops to clear the way for the Army to launch their attack

[@roninxcvii78]

10. At base, the game needs to be finished. No 3-4 years AFTER to get it to “okay”. 9. Playable Elites, Brutes, maybe a Forerunner Soldier? More races to play as I guess. 8. More weapons, vehicles, equipment, just more to sandbox. Infinite weapons feel okay to good depending on the weapon but it’s boring using the same stuff all the time. 7. More earnable cosmetics. I wanted Halo Reach style customization and got the dollar store version of it in Infinite without the prices I’d find at the Dollar store. 6. More developer made maps. 343 has this incessant need to put the bare minimum of their own made maps and just let the community pick up the slack. I want both developer and community maps to be pushed out more and to just get more of both. 5. Better communication between the Studio/developers and the community. STOP LYING TO US! Put all your effort into the game and show us what you have and not gaslight us into thinking that there’d be more to it. I want good communication and feedback given to 343 and vice versa to us, the players. 4. Complete the Campaign. I want a full campaign story that is cohesive and fits into the lore. Infinite was good imo to a certain degree but, by god were there more questions than answers given to us. You essentially pulled a Disney, remade CE and mashed the reveal of the Didact into infinite with the Endless or whatever that alien was called. Halo Wars 2 did a better job introducing the Banished than Infinite did with almost everything new. 3. Take risks. Try something new. Similarly how you did in H5 with the spartan abilities built into the armor, just try something new and let us play test it. We give feedback and see how it goes. Infinite felt like you were trying to play it safe, which I understand with how ‘AAA’ developers have been recently but, we want to see something new. That Banished shotgun? Where’s that? 2. The Exchange. If you’re gonna have a store like this, it better be like MCCs than Infinite’s. I want to earn a ‘point’ to then spend? I shouldn’t have to get 50k just to get a ‘shader’. 1 to 1 or have it be like 3 for an item or two idk. Just do not over inflate an item just to make us play more to earn it. It’s scummy imo. 1. NO MICROTRANSACTIONS. Like I said before, I want to earn my armor, feel like I accomplished something in the game to earn it. Having to pay $20-$50 to have some cool armor is stupid. I should t have to essentially buy a whole new game just to get some more additions to my spartan drip. I understand that in a FTP model, you can’t do that, so don’t make the game free to play. Add ons like dlcs or whatever, fine, do that. But for the love of god, NO FTP! NO MICROTRANSACTIONS!

[@sergiomayorga5188]

I want Sargeant Johnson to be the new AI in campaign

[@DioDaGoatv2]

I believe that they should make the game more free to play for armor like in halo reach and that they should the flying bugs back

[@SerephFreya]

I know it will have it, but i'd be excited if there'd be no battle pass. Charge for a full price game & provide it at launch. Basically, make a Halo game with the design philosophy as Halo 3

[@OutrageousOrigami]

Split Screen, I remember when 343 said they'll add split screen to infinite then bam they straight up lied in front of us. Many others including myself would love to have split screen to play campaign and multiplayer with our friends and family.

[@matthewmarburger9110]

The story after Halo three had so many opportunities to be awesome a post war galaxy everyone trying to avoid having another Galactic war so many different factions potential enemies going through forerunner structures the new Spartans most of it was wasted they should’ve start over and halo fans would understand

[@geoffvador]

It to launch with steam workshop support, so vengeful can make the game better from day one

[@srouse1988]

Asking for a completed game is too much to ask from any developer nowadays 😞.

[@bigonrock]

I need a story to make me feel something because life sucks and thats was part of the magic when halo first dropped kinda like hell divers 2

[@dewdrop3009]

10. FLOOD (with a m rating) 9. Playable Elites 8. Couch split screen 7. Campaign + real dlc and content. 6. No battle pass, no free to play, no live service 5. Covenant and banished focused maps, weaponry, sandbox 4. Odst's return 3. Plot and lore needs to be in the game off rip. No important story driving lore hidden in comics and novels. Explain forgotten assests, characters, and story that past titles skimmed over. 2. Casual multiplayer focus 1. Less focus on humanizing chief, more focus on the war effort and the grand scheme of things

[@tensecondtwoii4182]

!*!*! IT’S REALLY THIS SIMPLE !*!*! 1) STOP trying to reinvent the frign wheel. Halo 1-3 & Reach all worked with the SAME formula. Start with that. 2) Bring back Marty for the OST. He KNOWS Halo. He FEELS halo cause he MADE the music we ALL LOVE. STOP using different composers to put their own spin, cause their own spin is completely different than Marty’s. 3) Release a FINISHED game. I would GLADLY PAY for a game like Reach or Halo 3! I’d easily pay 60, 70, 80, hell, even a hundy *IF* it brought back the glory days of that Halo feeling. 4) Use Reach’s LOBBY ! 5) Try and bring back as many of the OG Bungie developers and story writers who originally worked on Halo. 6) Stop altering the vehicles and characters so dramatically just for the sake of change. Ever since 343 took over, all the Spartan armors began looking ridiculous. It’s as if 343 said we want to have 500 different Spartan armors, so just keep making them look more bizarre. Look at infinite now. It doesn’t even look like Halo anymore with all those goofy AF armors. You run around on the battle field and it just looks like any other game now.

[@ContrastCopy]

I don’t think it’s likely that they can bring back a lot of old devs, since they’ve retired. Also I think Marty is running for local office.

[@tensecondtwoii4182]

@@ContrastCopy Yeah, to both. That's really too bad. Good for Marty tho. I've been part of the Mary Army for a while now. It's a shame 343 was hell bent on changing Halo just for the sake of change so it would be distinguishable from Bungie's Halo. That was their downfall. Trying too hard to make the 343 Halo different from the Bungie Halo. 100% FAIL. And THREE TIMES IN A ROW. Oh well, the bright side is we can all revel in Halo 1-3/Reach/ODST 24/7 thanks to MCC.

[@bubbafett2700]

I agree with pretty much all the things you listed, but I would love to see a few other things as well. First off I would appreciate it if every amount of customization you have in infinite is also in halo 7, I just fell like that would make every dollar that I put into infinite not a complete waste. Second, cross core on launch would be awesome, they added a good amount of cross core in infinite but I would have still loved to see cross core knee guards, arm guards, chest pieces, and the hip pouches/armor. Thirdly I would be thrilled if they actually brought back split screen co-op, my sister and I like to play split screen games and just goof off so that would be pretty cool, also it would be cool if the first player looks like master chief and everyone else who joins has there multiplayer armor. But hey, I’ll keep my expectations really low because most likely none of the stuff I listed. Also I 100 percent agree that halo 7 should not be a free to play thing.

[@xsoundofsil3nc3x96]

Who would’ve thought that saying “Halo actually isn’t dead” on a Halo video of a Halo channel would send the comment section into an absolute seething rage? I would’ve, because nobody absolutely despises Halo as much as Halo fans 😂
