This would be my dream Halo 5:
The return of Ranked and Social playlists. Ranked would be like the Halo we remember, but evolved. People have sprint, armour abilities spawn on map like H3's equipment, everyone spawns with BR, static weapon spawns, and no ordnance. In game 1-50 would return in Ranked playlists.
Social playlists would be similar, but you would spawn with your choice of loadout. They wouldn't be fully customizable, though. I was thinking of a Battlefield like system (I think that's the game) where everyone has the abilities/guns unlocked at the start, and everyone can pick your gun and AA at the start of a match. The catch is that you can't change AA or gun in the middle of the game. You're stuck with the one you picked at the start.
Social would have a new PO system as well. Everyone always gets the options between Health boost, Damage boost, and Speed boost. They'd all be significantly nerfed from the Halo 4 version, though. For example, maybe Health boost would give you 10% more health (not shields) or damage boost causes people to die in one less BR bullet (not burst) and Speed boost lets you move 5% faster. You'd only get PO for getting a real Killing Spree, not a point spree like it is now.
General changes: return of descope, static weapon spawns on all maps, no JIP, no killcam, maps MUST be built without Sprint so they're not stretched out, return of Forge World and classic gametypes, custom games fixed, better maps, no instant respawn, sprinting isn't as drastic (maybe like 50-75% of the speed of Halo 4), vehicles stronger, less bullet magnetism.
I think this list would appease both the community that left (the pre-Reach community) and the remaining community that enjoyed Halo Reach and Halo 4.
So what are your thoughts on this? Do you like these ideas? Do you think 343i will do this?
Thanks for reading.
And before anyone says "lolgobacktowaypoint" I posted this there. I wanted to see your reaction since IMO 343i should target the people that loved past Halos instead of CoD fans for Halo 5

My dream Halo 5 would be an interesting game with visible 1-50, no DMR allowed in SWAT and two sniper rifles for Team Snipers, and maybe an Arena ONLY for precision weapons playlists so newbies don't get discouraged when trying to play Snipers or SWAT against us decent folks.... Oh, and then there's that whole thing about having a studio that makes games it wants to play making Halo 5 instead of a bunch of folks just throwing something together with their subcontractors just to score $1 billion for Steve Ballmer in his quest to steal the Sacramento Kings from Sacramento...
