Black ops 2 doesn't have sprinting mantis with jetpack

[Lyme]

Still better than Reach.

[belucheez]

I bet 343 would still find some way to try and trick us into thinking it "feels" like Halo.

edit: Oh and the individual vehicle loadout and the fast traveling features had me rolling.

Oh yeah, this one is going back to the deepest roots of competitive halo!

New armor abilities/specializations:

• Debuff Field - A regen-like bubble area that decreases weapon power for allies, enabling a team to utilize greater amounts of teamwork to beat their opponents
  
• Pre-Spawn - Enables the player to press X to spawn, even before they've died
  
• Blockade - Prevents opposing team from utilizing join-in-progress (shall be referred to as "getting JIP'ed")
  
• Blue Visor White Spartan - If any opposing player has a power weapon, send them to the graveyard.

New features:

• Map Stretcher - Resize any map automatically (note: may not shrink map size)
  
• Spectator Mode (online only)
  
• "Possum" Vehicle - UNSC armored minibike, for small maps
  
• May now choose flagnum on loadout

[Lyme]

Cursed Lemon's ideas will be DLC or a TU for Halo 5 .

Honesty im just getting it for the online only spectator mode.

[Sitri]

Nothing about attachments? I thought that was pretty big news. I'm itching to get my hands on a Storm Rifle purple dot, Needler ACOG, Sticky Detonator extended mag, and DMR folding stock.

[Tennet]

You can already get a sticky det extended mag!

[RVG E Nomini]

Still crossing my fingers for tac inserts.

And we thought 343i wasn't listening, We should have known better shame on us.

- Any time a player goes on a death streak, they are given a complementary ordnance drop in which they get EACH of the 3 weapon/powerup options, while simultaneously the game announcer offers words of encouragement while also marking all members of the opposing team with waypoints.

- Due to the popularity of the expanded assassination animations, Halo 5 will offer "firefight animations."  As opposed to manually shooting and killing somebody, you can instead just line your reticule up with an enemy and hold the right trigger, which will move you to a third-person view as your spartan kills the opposing player with as few shots as needed.  During this animation, your spartan will also do all sorts of cute somersaults and cartwheels to make it look cool.

This has to be the greatest thread I've ever come across. <3

With some tweaks Mantis Team Slayer could be sick

Friendly Fire no longer an option in order to streamline gameplay.

The guy in last place gets an ordnance drop of a blue turtle shell that nukes the guy with the most kills.

[Sergeant Smacky]

A gametype that punishes first place in order to create more balance.

[Zebradamus]

"(new AA) Anti-Tryhard:
If someone Kills you with perfect accuracy (6 shots of a BR, 6 shots of a DMR, 3 Body Shots of a Sniper, 2 Head Shots of a sniper, etc.) they die instead of you. Limit 5 uses per life."

DMR Confirmed 6 shot
BR confirmed 6 shot
Sniper Rifle confirmed 2 headshot kill and 3 bodyshot kill
Anti-Tryhard AA confirmed

[Redhat4]

Ugh you jacked this idea from the halo 5 thoughts thread. Oh well, it's hilarious never the less.

I would add spartan pets that you can call down, they will attack anyone near by, even teammates

Full Facebook integration, for each like you get on your spartan, you will get an additional bullet to your clip on all weapons

Holy shit I am crying from laughter from this and this whole thread. Jesus I haven't laughed that hard in a while.

Edit: Since deathstreaks are confirmed for Halo 5 I really think they should add a dead mans hand from MW3 into Halo. Whenver you die 2 times in a row or more your spartan poops out 3 frags, 7 plasma grenades, and 6 pulse grenades. Anyone who isn't killed by the explosion is blinded for the next 2 minutes of the game and can only crawl around the map.

Also tweeted this thread to the 343 devs. Lets hope our ideas make it into Halo 5!!!!!!!11

[Tennet]

A new support upgrade which upon death, your body launches 6 enemy seeking stickies which can travel through walls and are unavoidable.

[sg1elim89]

K/D Player modifiers.


If your k/d is under 1.0 then you spawn with an over shield. If your k/d is over 2.0 you spawn with out shields. Also casuals player get instant spawn while competitive players have a 10 second respawn time.

[iambicjelly]

Scoreboard is invisible. You just play for 10 minutes and at the end of the game jeff always says "tied".

At least Team Regicide is fun. In Halo 5, everybody is king!

In default matchmaking you can no longer commit suicide by falling off the map; rather Lakitu with his fishing rod picks you up as you're falling and safely places you back onto the map.

[BUTTAIDS]

Health packs make a return, and are randomly placed on maps. New armour ability 'poisonous health pack' where you place poisoned health packs on the map, and the enemy team is poisoned if they try to use it.

The truth is, you just play with bots no matter what. You never know who you are playing with, but your stats still go up. Even if you go consistently negative, you get a 50 with a 3.0 K/D.
