Halo 6 Wishlist Countinued

Halo 5 Guardians remained both a monumental leap forward and backward for the both legendary and struggling Halo series. One the one hand, the graphics are drop-dead gorgeous, even more so on the revamped Xbox One X release! The multiplayer is the grandest entry since Halo CE, with a fantastic weapon sandbox that tops every Halo installment since Halo 1 and 2. 

Halo 3 was an incredible game, but its multiplayer had horrible balancing, as only the BR and power weapons had any effect, leaving other armaments as useless. In Halo 5, every single weapon combo feels absolutely lethal. You can get a White Scar plasma pistol and still get a killing spree with enough skill! Halo Reach had an excellent campaign but was easily the worst Halo game ever made. The multiplayer was a sad joke, with horrible map designs, ugly graphical style and random armor abilities and bloom which ruined competitive Halo! Halo 4 delivered a stronger campaign and a better multiplayer experience but still was based on random AA combat with standard loot drops.




Halo 5's multiplayer has no such flaws, the combat is both satisfying, fast-paced, and fun. Too bad the REQ system in Warzone transformed Halo 5 into a Pay-To-Win scenario. Even worse was the removal of Split-Screen multiplayer! Want to know how bad this mistake hurt 343i and why all future Halo games will always have split-screen? A picture is worth a thousand words.


For Halo 6 to become the best Halo series yet 343i needs to step up their game on every level. I know that this company can do better. Unlike Bioware, 343i has made improvements and adjustments to Guardians to make it a better game. They brought it to Windows 10, and added a Custom Games Browser, and released an incredible version of Forge, the best in the series history! They are willing to admit wrongdoing with The Master Chief Collection and are revamping the game for Xbox One X( RELEASE THE MCC ON WINDOWS 10 343I DO IT!!!). They have shown that although they have a hard learning curve, they are dedicated to the Halo franchise and making it shine.




Halo 6 needs to focus on the Master Chief, as well as every future Halo title. Halo 5 had an awful campaign because most of the game focused on Locke, who no one gives a shit about. Halo 5 Guardians also made the mistake of eliminating the Flood, which Halo 6 needs to correct as the Flood were one of the greatest enemies in gaming history. Every species from the previous titles must return, and let's add some new ones. Give us the ability to have custom AI in multiplayer! Bring back Firefight, and allow us to customize it to the very last detail 343i! Re-release every Halo game on Windows 10 and the Xbox One X, and continue to port with each progressive system.


Imagine Halo 6, released as a game combined with Halo MCC. On a single...disk! Imagine every Halo game getting an HD upgrade for the Xbox One X and DirectX 12 Windows PC's. Imagine a port for the Mac! Imagine being able to construct custom firefight and single-player missions in Forge and being able to play every Halo game and level from a single experience. Halo MCC had so much potential which was ruined, and 343i needs to fix their mistake. Why not go bigger and harder, and combine Halo 6 with the MCC. I promise that a delay of even an extra few years would be worth it for a quality release. You cannot rush art. Quality needs to supplant quantity for Halo to reclaim its crown as the king of FPS's!
