Halo Infinite Wishlist
Community Answers
Lexi - @LexiXen
343 having the confidence to tell the story they want to tell. If they can give it the narrative and character flair of Halo 4 while retaining the set piece moments they want to draw from the original trilogy, it'll easily be the best Halo game
TheOnlyN33b - @TheOnlyN33b
I haven't actually played H5 yet, but I think it's very important they are confident in their story. Sometimes I feel like companies can have a very hard time with taking control and doing what they want. TLJ isn't my favorite, but it is clearly the movie they wanted to make.
Halo Infinite NEws - @HaloInfiniteOrg
Go back to basics. A game without sprint, abilities, aim down sights and advanced movement. BR starts in competitive. A good selection of small maps, a couple remakes too. A ranking system that works. Strong support for eSports including big prizes and frequent events
Mark “CattyMusician” - @MLGMark
Would love an open world story. Would love military ranks with an exp based progression system. Also a 1-50 true skill ranking system. Plus a halo reach credit system to buy armor. Also have unlockable armor that doesn’t look like a potato
Sander - @Sander_vs
New (and good) MP maps until the next Halo game after Infinite. Playable on PC. Both classic and advanced MP game modes + maps designed for both types.
Str8 Nirvana - @Str8Nirvana
Halo 3 clone but with Firefight, updated Forge and PvP Ai practice bots (Like Gears/CoD has). Would also be nice if those /Well liked and unintrusive/ Req packs went away for an actual progression system.
Abe - @GTy_R4wk_One
NO sprint, NO hit markers. More than 9 maps in competitive.
Christian - @Stadlerchris17
No spartan abilities, at all. Classic art style and music, halo 1 esc. Campaign, different viewpoints in the story(arbiter, sgt johnson pre-death, random marine or spartan 4), that’s about it tbh. Just make it like bungie used to and it’ll be amazing.
Jonathan (DaddyTrax) - @jpskoczalek
I’d really like to see the Spartan Company feature expanded. Here are some ideas:
1. Matchmaking within the Spartan Company HUB. Ranks can be given for a 4v4 Spartan Company Playlist and an 8v8 Playlist. Each Spartan member in the company shares the same rank as everyone else in the Spartan Company. I’m going for the Halo 2 clan system here for reference.
2. This might be a little hard to follow but if I managed to explain it correctly I think you’ll see the tremendous value this could bring to Halo multiplayer. (For reference, see NHL 16 EASCHL playoffs https://youtu.be/5gSy088JEkA
