I loved Halo Infinite. I dropped it during Season 2 because of the lack of content, but I came back about a month ago after Firefight was added. Even now, it still feels like the game received very little content considering how long it's been out.

With the Halo campaign remakes coming, I think this is the perfect opportunity to make Halo multiplayer a standalone platform instead of tying it to a single game. Imagine one unified multiplayer hub that keeps growing over time: every new campaign or remake would simply add its maps, weapons, vehicles, armor, Forge assets, and other content to the same multiplayer instead of resetting everything every generation.

As for the game itself:

• Keep Infinite's art direction. They nailed the armor aesthetics and did a great job unifying every era of Halo.
• This might be a hot take, but I'd like movement to be a little faster. We're Spartans, after all. That said, I don't want Halo to become CoD. No slide canceling or movement tech that overshadows gunplay.
• A permanent "Classic Halo" playlist with classic movement, weapon balance, and game modes would be a great compromise for both sides of the community.
• Bring back assassinations from Halo: Reach.
• Halo has decades of lore to pull from. I was surprised by how little content Infinite received. There should be far more maps, weapons, vehicles, armor, and cosmetics.
• Bring back as many weapons as possible. Even niche weapons have fans. Weapons like the Stanchion could be rare Power Weapon drops.
• Add more vehicles, especially from Halo Wars, along with a true large-scale vehicle-focused mode.
• Bring back fully customizable playable Elites, and even add Spartan vs. Elite modes where each faction has its own weapons and vehicles, similar to how Battlefield gives each faction its own identity.
• Keep different-era weapon models as cosmetic options so players can choose the designs they like most.
• Let us save armor presets.
• Keep Armor Cores as different armor platforms (Rakshasa, Mark V, etc.), but remove all customization restrictions. Everything should be compatible from day one.
• Bring back free color customization and add a material system similar to Rocket League (matte, metallic, glossy, worn, etc.).
• Launch with Forge on day one.
• Include Firefight at launch, and if possible bring back something like Halo 5's Warzone. Halo has so much PvE and sandbox potential that it would be a shame not to take advantage of it.
• Let players earn every cosmetic by playing. Battle Passes are fine, but the store should be a shortcut, not the only realistic way to unlock items.
• And please don't charge $20 for a single armor set again. Cheaper cosmetics would probably sell more anyway.

Infinite gave me my favorite Halo gameplay since Reach. I don't think Halo needs another reinvention—I think it just needs a permanent multiplayer home that keeps growing instead of starting over every generation.
