What do you guys want to see from Halo 5 and whatever other Halo games that are coming out on Xbox One? Tons of people wanted 60FPS and Dedicated Servers and those wishes have been granted. There's got to be more though. Here's my personal list:
-15+ Maps on disc at launch. We never have enough maps and DLC has always been hit or miss
-PC spectator client. Have it work in conjunction with the Xbox One to connect to custom lobbies on LAN or Xbox Live. It would perform much like what we have in StarCraft 2 as far as how spectators are invited and how the lobbies are set up. That would be ideal. That would also allow streamers and casters to just capture the screen footage with software rather than buying a separate capture card.
-Bring back multiple, classic Halo maps. Why not have Midship in every Halo game from here until the end of time? .
-Fewer weapons. The more weapons, the more difficult it is for the game to be balanced. I'd rather have the game be balanced properly than have many weapons including multiple weapons that fill the same role.
-A robust, day 1 ranking system. I'd like to see a ranking system that Halo has not seen before. A former Blizzard employee who worked on matchmaking and ranking systems (Joshua Menke) has joined 343 and I would love to see a ranking system that is heavily influenced by StarCraft 2's system. We saw something similar in Reach however the execution was abysmal. Divisions, ladders, seasons all of it.
-MS/343 run online tournaments and tournament playlists. We're seeing this with Halo 4 however there aren't and probably will not be any traditional bracket tournaments. With Next Gen Halo's dedicated servers, I would hope that this could now be a possibility.
-Faster playlist updates and map integration. There are currently multiple playlists in Halo 4 that haven't seen significant and necessary updates in months.
I think that's a good start for me, what would you all like to see?
