Sorry if these have been posted, but these are my thoughts:
- A proper ranking system from Day 1. Level 1-50, (obviously) taking advantage of the any new ranking/true skill system XB1 has
- Social and Ranked playlists - EXP (maybe invisible rank, to match with equally skilled players?) for social, and EXP + level for ranked. Just like Halo 3
- No fancy playlists on launch, I want the good stuff! Doubles, Ranked (4v4) & Social (5v5) Slayer, Multi Team, Objective (CTF, oddball, king, territories!) playlist, Snipes, Swat, FFA, Big team, and some type of big team objective.
THEN add all the other stuff (regicide, dominion, extraction...undecided about action sack)
- Make ranked playlist types go back to halo roots. Map weapon spawns, map powerups (Overshield, Active Camo, speed boost, damage boost). Keep armour mods, but restrict which ones to use (e.g. thruster pack, promethean vision...) They add a certain dynamic which I like...
- Maybe even make some more 'debated' armour mods not available to the player at game start, but more as pick ups on a map, similar to Reach MLG.
- Make social playlists take advantage of all the other cool stuff (ordinance drops, all armour abilities)
- Return of equipment as map spawns: Regen field, BUBBLE SHIELD(!), mines, add new ones (higher gravity field, slow movement field, stuff like that). Restrict which ones are in Ranked.
I really liked them in Halo 3, was disappointed when bubble shield was made terrible in Reach. I also think there should be a balance between which ones can help you (bubble shield, regen) and which ones can harm/harm the enemy (increased gravity field - reduced jump height, slower movement field - movement is hindered for a brief amount of time)
- BR as 4 shot at launch. DMR better at long range, difficult to use in close quarters. BR as good all-rounder, DMR for longer ranged engagements, AR for close quater engagements.
- Carbine as 6 or 7 shots, balance fire rate accordingly.
- Bring back incineration grenades!
- Some kind of choice of which server/game to join, like BF3?
- BRING BACK THE PERFECTION MEDAL. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH.
- Bring back the medal for a sniper headshot
- Add a medal for Sniper headshot no-scope (snap-pop!)
- (Might be over-doing it) Add a medal for a quick scope
- ADD A MEDAL FOR A NINJA ASSASSINATION!!!! (NINJA!)
- Bring back weapon specific sprees (sniper spree, shotgun spree)
- Bring back dual wielding!!
- Reduce the amount of weapons for each faction.
And this is just a personal request - Make Tea-bagging (or victory crouching) an actual thing, medals and all.
Thats my list
