My wish list, having experienced Halo 5 Guardians through Forge and the Windows 10 PC release of the game for Halo 6, has been brewing within my cerebellum for several months, and therefore, this list was an act of inevitability for me as a fan.
1) Remove Micro transactions from Halo
Halo and Micro transactions get along as well as Sonic The Hedgehog and 3D, which is the breakup involved excessive Faulkner gin guzzling benders to drown the sorrows of a broken heart. Halo needs achievements, and players if we must unlock armor, we desire to pay for the individual pieces we want, not having to buy random Gold packs for random helmets the consumer doesn't even want. This system is exploitative and ruins what is otherwise an incredible multiplayer experience from Halo 5, sans the unforgivable lack of any split screen, which 343i has thankfully confirmed for every future Halo game.
2) Bring back Split screen to Halo 6
Mandatory. The excuse that people want better graphics over functionality is a useless argument when we can easily invite our friends to our homes to play some video games. But hell no, Microsoft got super greedy as fuck, and wanted the consumer to pay for two Xbox Ones and copies of Halo 5 Guardians just to play together co-op!!! Total descent into madness upon abject stupidity and rampant consumerism at the expense of the gamer. Halo 6 needs to go further on every level, likely being on Microsoft's so far from technical demonstrations impressive Xbox One X. Split screen needs to outclass Super Smash Bros on the Wii U, which allowed players to play with tons of players even in split screen.
3) Playable Elites.
I want a new Invasion in Halo 6. Bigger and more badass in every way, combined with the incredible potential of Warzone and Warzone Firefight demonstrated in Halo 5, with AI teammates you can customize with unique weapons, skills, armor, assassinations, voice and anything you wish. Halo needs to be the franchise KING of customization, as Halo 5's Custom Games Browser is fantastic and needs to return in Halo 6. And we desire to play as Elites once again, with identical stats and playlist rights as the Spartans. Both species contribute to Halo lore, history, and canon, and therefore, the Elites deserve to be playable. On this note...
4) Playable Brutes, Flood, Covenant, Prometheans, and Forerunners.
Do I even need to explain why? The scientific research says no. No, I do not. Bots in multiplayer, campaign and firefight, would boost the long-term appeal of Halo tremendously from Halo 6 onward. Imagine an Invasion game type with AI Scarab's on the Elites team, and the Infinity, filled with AI Spartans on the Spartans side, in an all out Warzone inspired battle for the ages!
5) An improved theater.
Halo 6's Theater needs to be built for Machinima from the ground up, allowing us to upload our saved replays to our notebooks, desktops, tablets, and smartphones for every upload to social media outlets. 4K HD support by design. A more flexible camera that allows us to close up shots of our Spartan or Elite armor, like in Halo 3 which was near flawless in its elegant execution.
6) More Assassinations and Elite custom assassinations
Let's have grabbing weakened Spartan and Elite teammates and holding them captive. The apprehended can struggle and BXR with enough timing out of the chokehold, but the individual remains otherwise shot to death as a human/dinosaur shield by his own Spartans or Elites. What about real close quarter combat moves too? Uppercuts, kicks, jabs and even perhaps the ability to throw on Spartan or Elite combatant into another killing two birds with a single stone?
7) More vehicles and weapons, with the resurgence of dual wielding!
A custom game type where any weapon can be dual wielded? Energy Swords? Gravity Hammers? Snipers? Saws? Battle Rifles? Rocket Launchers? Sign me up! Let's take this concept a step further 343i. Allow gamers to customize each weapon individually, the damage each weapon does, the scope length, fire rate, number of bullets in a clip, weapon skins, etc.
8) More Classic playlists
Give Sprint fewer playlists equal footing in Halo 6, with Classic Halo players satisfied with no sprint Halo gameplay, the other half getting average Sprint playlists, as Sprint now has its place in Halo. Increase the damage of weapons slightly for Classic playlists and decrease Spartan/Elite health resistance.
9) A better story
We want to play as the Master Chief. Not as Locke the whole time, Chief and Blue Team must be the central focus of Halo 6's plotline for Halo fans to care. Let us play as the Arbiter again! Give us characters that don't sound like lifeless, limp rag puppets as in Halo 5 Guardians single player. All that ridiculous, insane hype and for what?! A pointless fistfight and a crazy nonsensical retarded cliffhanger ending, that still leaves a sour taste in the mouth. Halo 6 needs to have none of these flaws.
10) The Resurrection of Sargent Johnson as a Spartan himself.
Make it happen 343. The fate of Halo now rests in your hands.
