I have to agree here. I want all the weapons to come back I like what they did with REQ weapons too. I just hate the REQ system. I also would love them to see some of the weapons from Halo Online become official

I want to rewatch it but stopped after one of the Halo 4 seasons. Hows the story now?

Wasn't planning on doing this anytime soon. This post is merely to gauge interest and what timezone/region/day is best for everyone.

The finale cutscene of Halo 4 when Commander Lucky Pal tells Chief soliders aren't machines. That was sad

ElDewrito the fan made mod that birthed out of the failure that was Halo Online had its final release awhile ago. Its loads of fun to play and the requirements are low. The game feels like a polished Halo 3 and I love playing it. Would love to gather as much forum members as possible and have fun on the servers sometime in April. Gathering data at the moment to make this happen. I would love to do the same in the future with Installation 01 and Halo 2's Project Cartographer. Things you need + Discord + And a PC capable of running Halo Online which is going to be 99% of PC's r/HaloOnline contains everything you need to get started: https://www.reddit.com/r/HaloOnline/ Let old and new forum members know about this too! I think this is the best way for all us to play Halo once more. No $500 console required! The event will be spread across multiple days. It won't happen at a single time.

I would love if loadouts or armor abilities really made each class unique down to player stats. Maybe its just my recent affinity for Overwatch and team based shooters but man would I adore the ability to have TF2 in Halo custom games.

I am going to agree with Azaxx saying Halo will never recover but not only for the reasons he mentioned but additional ones too. Gaming culture has changed. That is basically it. What made Halo 1-3 so much fun was because you were forced to play and talk with strangers and that resulted in weird experiences. Wanted to play Halo CE multiplayer? LAN parties or LAN events! Wanted to play Halo 2 multiplayer? Matchmaking with everyone being in the same voice channel! Same with Halo 3. The XBL Party system ruined the magic of meeting new people and having a sense of community. You would meet someone in a Team Slayer and talk about the game or fun custom games you have played or get one of those MESSAGE TO ALL RECENT PLAYERS custom game invites. This is no longer the norm. Another reason? Xbox is no longer the dominant platform. PS4 has destroyed the Xbox One in this ~"Console Wars"~ and Halo can never recover if they make games that keep losing fans faster than they can bring new ones in. Halo has such a bad PR image at this point it would have to take Halo 3 on Steam with full mod support(something that radical) to fix the brand. More reasons! The shooter market is extremely saturated with tons of good(and bad) games to chose from. Not only that but Halo 5 is riddled with such disrespect to the consumer(The REQ system and no free DLC updates isn't a justification) Want to use that prophets bane? Well you only have one left so don't spawn and die right away! Halo 6 has such a heavy burden on its shoulder. Halo 4, MCC and 5 have done such damage to the brand that Halo 6 would have to address every single concern AND be able to convince all the people who left the franchise to return AND convince people to buy an X1 so it has a playerbase as big as H3. So yeah no Halo will never return to its peak days. Unless they seriously release Halo 3 on Steam with full mod support because everyone will go nuts over that.

So you mean Bots? The term you're looking for is Botmatches The only reason bots existed in old multiplayer games was because back then playing with other people was hard and also to train you for actual matches since the skill curve was so high in old arena shooters I am not a developer for Installation 01 but I think they're using the Unity engine right? Bots are pretty hard to implement but maybe once the core features and balance of the game has been finished Bots will probably be next. If you're having trouble aiming and being accurate watch this video:

I am forever bummed we got the story we did with Halo 5. I mean it pratically killed my love for the franchise in one play through of the campaign. I mean ideally I want the flood to return while we're also battling Evil Mega Cortana(Since this is the story we got now). Maybe Cortana helps the Flood and we get Robo-Flood. Yea I just really want more Flood/Precursor stuff I love me some ancient alien civilization trope in my sci-fi.
