Look my fellow long time Halo fans. I've played every Halo game the very first day it came out back in 2000. In my opinion, 343 seems like they want to screw up. Instead of trying to gain -Yoinking!- COD players and making Halo too much like other fps shooters like they did for Halo 4, how about they make a Halo based off one of the books like Ghosts of Onyx or Contact Harvest. Thats what bungie did. They made Reach. A game that took place during the earlier years of the Human-Covenant War. 343 needs to stop pushing us long time players away by destroying the Halo stories and copying other games. Halo has sooooooo much lore and aspects that could easily be implemented into a new Halo game. If 343 did these things they would regain all the longtime Halo players they lost after 4. Make Halo about how the covenant was formed. All the wars that happened in order for the covenant to form. Make a Halo where we can play as elites or even brutes. Give us wayyyyyyyyy more armor customization. Even more than Halo Reach. Make a Halo with the old Halo feel again while having all the unique abilities and weapons that are BALANCED that we have in the present games. Instead of making stories about runoff characters like Spartan Thorn from Halo 4 or Spartan Locke and the rest of osiris besides buck, make a Halo about the books. You have the awesome stories already just make a game on them already. Make a Halo where there are more than 2 -Yoinking!- air vehicles and one where there is UNSC AIR VEHICLES like the hornet, falcon, Hawk, Pelican, Longsword, etc. Give us more vehicles in general. Give us all the classic weapons but also more new weapons. BRING THE FLOOD BACK ALREADY. I very much enjoyed playing against the flood in Halo. especially in Halo CE. That was pretty damn scary. Halo needs to have that kind of scary -Yoink- feel back. If 343 just listens to comments like these and all other long time fans and create a beautiful Halo game based off of these aspects then they can easily have Halo back at the top again.
