All I want is two things:

OG Halo gunplay. Nothing feels fun to shoot in 4 or 5. Bungie had that gunplay down to a science and I wish 343 could capture that magic.

Batter story. The story in 5 was just awful. It was stupid all around. Hell, I wish they'd retcon it.

Honestly i'm down for anything. I've enjoyed all the Halo games, even 4. 5 was fun. The campaign had some down spots, but I still overall enjoyed my time with it and loved the multiplayer. Any Halo they put out is Halo I will play.
Agree completely. I will say however, BTB day 1 is a must. That's the MP mode I enjoy most because I can better hide my awfulness amongst a crowd.

- The return of blood splatters. Sounds stupid but the battlefield on MP is TOO CLEAN without it, it's weird.
- No sprint (won't happen)

Halo:CE level campaign mode with multiple different enemies that are fun to fight and open areas like in Halo 1 and 3. Fun gunplay and great memorable music.

I just want a good Halo game. It can be like the 5th game but with better art direction, less boring enemies and be more open. I want to see sprawling open areas to fight covenant.

1. Save cortana early on and have her in your head again. Develop relationship further.

2. Relatively simple shooting and running with no fancy abilities. Playing Halo CE is fun.

3. Play only as master chief

4. Fight mainly convenant and maybe one flood level.

5. Warthog final level

6. Halo 3 multiplayer, some good maps and basic modes. BUT include the PvPvE modes from halo 5 without the shitty card system.

7. Battle royale mode

8. A co-op dungeon crawl mode. Get as far, as fast, as possible. Partially rng generated.

6, 7 and 8 give cool and silly cosmetics for multiplayer. Not retro halo 1 masterchiefs but a clown or a schoolgirl or somwthjng.

Embrace the silliness in MP.

I want a couple of great big massive levels like CE but even more but NOT an open world.

I don't want skill trees and side quests and progression mechanics or any of that bullshit padding.

A story that doesn't require a good knowledge of the expanded lore would be cool too.

Halo 5 multiplayer was great so I'm fine with them just iterating on that but us like the map selection at launch to be better.

Oh and bring back the stupid victory dances/poses from the halo 5 multiplayer beta, that shit was wonderfully dumb.

crazy physics
no squad mates (other than occasionally coming across bands of marines/odsts)
wide open levels that dont feel video gamey
simplification of the controls and movemnt

I actually loved Halo 5 multiplayer so...

Add split screen and make a decent story. H5 single player was underwhelming compared to the other games.

Halo 5 has better gunplay than Halo 3.

No prometheans and music that captures the beauty and atmosphere of the Halo 1 and 2 scores.

If the music direction from the E3 2019 trailer is anything to go by, you'll get 1/2 of that.

Well IIRC we heard one of the motifs from the Halo 3 score: the four E's played on a piano at once is what I'm referencing here.

But I want to hear those super emotional, almost melancholic sweeping pieces from 2, and those very sci fi, moody tracks with a sort of tribal sequels feel to them from 1. Marty and Salvatori just killed it on those two games. 3's score was great too though don't get me wrong. Same with ODST and Reach obviously.

mechanics wise, a progression of h5, don't go back.

replaying reach competitively has solidified this opinion.

A lot of halo players want different things, it will be interesting to see where the dust settles

Open world Halo Ring where I can traverse from one end to the other. This would be amazing, but it also makes me wish the new game was built for next gen or at least scorpio as the base.

You're both probably right...I find the gameplay of halo multiplayer good fun, but the visual side of it gets boring. Just 20 differently coloured masterchiefs running around with slightly different visors....

I think I want something recognizable but also completely new for the franchise. Is it going to be an open world, hub-based game? Is it gonna have seamless multiplayer integrated to a huge map? Maybe travel between worlds? I also think one of the best things of fairly weak entry that was Halo 5 is the updated gameplay, so I'd want that back with further improvements.

+1
i want a customs server browser Halo 5 added it and its the thing i have wanted since halo 3 forge

They are not going to outright remove them, especially after how Halo 5 ended.

I expect radical changes, though. Halo 5 already had a pretty dramatically different take on them in Halo 4 mechanically, with the Knights being delegated to shitty Destiny sponges, rarely ever using the watchers, the inclusion of the soldiers, and every Promethean weapon changing functionality.

Ok I guess, but what a world we live in when, a 7ft super soldier in techno armor is boring. To each his own.
One of them is amazing! I still get chills seeing him on posters, or hearing the Gregorian chanting.

20 of them bunny hopping, mindlessly running into walls, or doing endless flips in a banshee, is less awe inspiring :)
