Why is everyone comparing this to S&D? There's not even an objective. I'd compare it more to Gears' slayer mode considering the lead MP designer on Halo 5 was lead MP designer at Epic.

Was it not Counter Strike that popularized the one life gametype?

Yes, still being able to run away and prolong your inevitable death is balance and fixes the issue of them being able to run away.More abilities allowing for you to escape is competitive at heart, we can all agree nothing is more competitive than running away like a little bitch.It's Halo, trust me.

It was basically them chewing the shit out of Halo 5, and when Goldenboy asked how they would have made Halo 5, they couldn't answer his question.

It was basically them chewing the shit out of Halo 5, and when Goldenboy asked how they would have made Halo 5, they couldn't answer his question.Well, as 343i made a terribly shitty update to their forums and now I need to refind all the threads I had saved on there, this will take longer to get sources, if you want them, but I'll give the general ideas.Numerous suggestions to improve Firefight were given. Plenty featuring a sort of hub-world conjoining different areas of a single themed map(one map theme was Flood-infested High charity, another a UNSC colony world, etc). There would be bosses, map events, side-missions, vehicles, etc. The suggestions go into much more detail, and were extensively debated, so let me know if you want more.Found this one about being able to utilize fusion coils in a different way. A risky strategy that could allow one to move objects easier at risk.Space Battles have only been asked for since, like 4 years now, right? There's a variety of ways that can be done. Either all players start in ships and there are powerups/weapons on map(more traditional), or a more Battlefront-style approach.That's a weaponThat's a gametypeThere are God only knows how many thousands of Forge suggestions since Halo 3 that were intended for Reach and Halo 4 that never got in.16v16 or 32v32 gametypes have been suggested en masse, and despite what some people may think they hold quite some plausibility and weight behind them.Removal of Loadouts and Sprint, except in Custom Games with Sprint as an AA/Equipment piece, have been more or less a given. Oh, that reminds me. Put AA's/Equipment together into the game, have it so only one can be held onto and used at a time. Since Equipment generally behaved differently, make it so AA's would have a set amount of uses or permanent fuel. A proposal was maybe have an area that AA's could be refueled, but that's not necessary for this, and at the least it would be nice for Custom Games.I can probably remember more if you want.
The majority of suggestions you listed are well known. However, I thought the context of our conversation was regarding Halo's core mechanics, which you did list a few of. Those suggestions though still do not work to an extent. The problem with equipment and AAs still existing then becomes, how do you adequately represent them so the opposing player knows what you have in your "pocket" without modifying the player's shape or hitbox? In the end, it may become an absolute clusterfuck of a sandbox because you have two distinct abilities, one reusable, the other dispensable. Both behaving in very different manners and you can not determine if the player has one or the other, or neither at all.This is why I find Spartan Abilities a very attractive idea. It gives you the versatility and change of combat that AAs (and equipment to a lesser extent) tried to provide, but in a balanced manner. No signifying change needs to be given to the player anymore because despite there being seven different abilities, you know that all the other players have them. There's a video that Ghandi made in regards to Halo 5... I can and do agree with everything he says in the video. Above all, we need to play the shit out of the Beta because it's a year out from launch. Now, I'm not saying or even implying to not hold a negative opinion of Halo 5's gameplay, but these extremely negative fire-laced reactions and opinions are completely absurd in my point of view.YouTubeIn the end, it's a lose-lose scenario for whatever any developer does with a new Halo's multiplayer.
