[QUOTE=overwatch pvt;49968158]Personally think ODST is still one of Bungie's best moments campaign wise. Everything just feels right in that game.[/QUOTE]
The grenades always throw me off in odst
I thought you had to watch it, but the HWC req pack is downloadable from the store if anybody was just interested in it for that.
The earlier blog posts definitely said you had to tune in, so I'm wondering if they're only doing it this way because the stream is down on the Xbox LIVE Events app.
They said to tune in to find out how to get it.
Also, I downloaded the pack and it isn't showing up in the game on both my accounts/systems.
So I've been toying with this question since Halo 5's launch: What if 343 made a spinoff akin to ODST and Reach?
Personally, I'd like to see them handle the original Covenant in a game based form Contact Harvest. It just seems so right, especially given how Bungie used Reach for some Covie redesigns. Especially given how 343 can't butcher more Forerunner tech this way (and no Spartans at all!!!), it's a perfect way for them to do more experiments in the universe, with some classic no-booster gameplay to boot.

Isn't that kinda what Spartan Ops was?
I want to fight Insurrectionists.

It would be interesting, but I think the game would be a lot different since you're playing characters who aren't superhuman. H3:ODST was pretty ridonk as far as normal human abilities go, I think, and they're elite shock troopers. Militiamen and regular soldiers are nowhere near that level. I feel like it would play like a slower CoD or something.
Also I feel like they'd fuck up the art style again.
[QUOTE=Makol;49973555]I want to fight Insurrectionists.[/QUOTE]
I'd love to as well, tbh - I think the story should have [I]far[/I] more focus on that rather than the "hey guys we're totally the Covenant but not" thing we ended up with, because during the war the UNSC was barely able to stay unified in many cases.
Well sadly CLG won HWC, but at least Naded was voted as the MVP.

I could see them pulling off a squad based shooter that plays like Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway fighting the Insurrectionists.
Apparently the new Warzone allows up to 8 players.
Neat.
god damn they keep using the Xbone exclusive cards....I just want it for PC, UWP or not already, christ
Also I had another '''stunning''' idea. So the HTC Vive is gonna let you play .exe's in it via Steam, right? I instantly thought of how the H4/5 HUD could look in that thing

Oh woah, this one doesn't even require Flatgrass. I think mappers are really gaining traction with Halo: Online.

I always think Bungie should have continued with Halo after 3 and made spin off games like a game based on Contact Harvest or something.
Bungie's Halo was far from perfect. But I still miss it.

oh
Brute Plasma Rifle?
[editline]21st March 2016[/editline]
Wait, there is no Plasma Rifle in Halo 5. How did I forget that.
Hmmm, I wonder how they will add the Plasma Rifle as a Req?
The regular plasma rifle would have to be pretty low level, as the storm rifle is already [I]way[/I] stronger than the plasma rifle.

Not really. This one took 200+ hours to complete.
Until proper tools are developed, custom maps will be out of the reach of all but the most insane.

Thats neat, I didn't know Adam was a fan of Spartan armour.

oh[/QUOTE]
I was just saying last month how much I would love the classic plasma rifle back. I am so happy right now.
All these classic weapons coming back is making me love the Req system. Honestly never thought we'd see the Brute rifle of all things.
I hope it comes with a regular version as well.
Happened in Reach as well.

The one change to Halo I secretly like.
[QUOTE=xalener;49978049]So COD1? Sign me the fuck up.[/QUOTE]
I don't think it would make for bad gameplay at all - it would just be sort of difficult to "justify" to the average player as being Halo. As I'm sure we're all aware, drastic changes to a series' gameplay formula (or even not-so-drastic changes) generally prompt a fuckton of outcry.
Honestly I'd love to see the Halo universe used for a lot more kinds of games as well as see different aspects of the world explored (more Covenant point of view, civilians, etc.) but it doesn't really seem likely to happen.
I've also had ideas for games set in the universe that aren't just arena shooters (like an actually stealth-oriented game with ODSTs as opposed to H3ODST where we were told we'd get stealth and instead got the ability to run around enemies, or a Flood survival game where you're trapped on an infested ship) but I can't really make a Halo game myself even if I wanted to.

I hope it's done in the new style and not just the reach plasma rifle, I really like how some of the covenant weapons came out like the caster and the needler.
