I know I would like to see invasion to return because I loved making maps using that game type there wasn't a better game type or game types than the ones from Halo Reach
Which Gametypes Do You Want in Halo 5: Guardians?
- Thread starter Psychoduck
- Start date
Definitely need infection with an option to include/take away some sort of flood appearance model. Also, I would really like to see VIP make a return to halo! It was such a fun game mode in Halo 3 with the "protect the president" gametype! Another idea for future DLC could be a Warzone map somehow combined with the Infection game mode! Hear me out! One team starts as the survivors and the other as the Infected. The survivors must capture objectives/kill flood bosses and destroy the core to win and the Infected must kill/convert the survivors team to win. This gamemode could be very fun with AI flood running around and complete chaos! Let me know what you guys think!
I agreeeee with Chicken! Infection is definitely need, plus perhaps a Team Objective playlist in multiplayer. I would also love to see KotH, Oddball, Headhunter, VIP and Race (including variants) return to the game. Though most of these should have probably been in at launch!
Above all else we need king of the hill as this mechanic is the key component to so many maps and mini games that it needs to take priority. You can do so much with a hill if you just add some titanium hwite
We need Griffball. I'm surprised it's not on the list. With the severe lack of social playlist we just need a game type like this to just casually play. And maybe they can add energy sword a gravity hammer skins so you and your team can have matching weapons
Grifball was originally built off of Assault. Hence Assault is on the list and Grifball is not. Thanks for the input, and welcome to HaloCustoms!
Close, Halo 3 and Reach Grifball were based on Assault. Modern Grifball (Halo 4 & MCC Halo 4) is based on Ricochet, even though there is a dev Grifball variant on the disc.
I voted for Ricochet because there are many mini-games based on scoring by throwing, striking, or running the ball in, like Hockey, Turkey Bowl, and Field Grifball. Although, i assume, many of these may be replicated with the new scripting system.

Rocket Race won't work in Halo 5 unless they patch in the ability to look downwards while you're on a mongoose. :c
If you lurk on Reddit or Forgehub, you might have already seen this, but in case you haven't, the Creative Force guys came up with a pretty good approximation of 3 Plots. And you don't need Forge! We're going to add it to the "creative f0rce" file share when it goes live, but who wants to wait for that?
3 Plots Settings
Edit the "Settings > Strongholds" in the Strongholds gametype to these values:
*Score to Win: 300 points
*Score Earned Per Interval: 1 point
*Scoring Frequency: 1 second
*Scoring Threshold: 1 Base
*Time to Capture: 10 Seconds
*Capture Rate With Multiple Players: Increasing
*Prevent Spawning in Strongholds: On
That's it! Now, teams will earn 1 point per second for each territory they own. Multiple teammates will capture a territory faster, and teams only need to own 1 territory to score. When we tested, 300 points was about right for the 12 minute time limit on the round, and we left capture time the same as regular Strongholds since players are used to it. Since it's just a scoring variation, it should work natively on any maps that support Strongholds.

This has actually been known since before the game even launched, and this is why the poll includes an option for asymmetrical Territories specifically as symmetrical Territories can be created through Strongholds.
Ah, makes sense. Now I'm pondering ways to lock territories... I wonder if spawning/despawning them along with instant scoring would be a way to grant one-time points? UI becomes a little messy though...
I really want dominion in halo 5 because it lets me feel like im doing a bit of tower defence in such a good game.
If it isn't added I at least want some sort of button that activates different things,( doors,turrets,cover). Dominion would be a great addition to halo 5.

Im gonna try to make an air warefare map, though other people probably already have a good one or will make a better one.
I want AI's in forge! I want to make a game type where AI's spawn on a timer where more and more come over time.... I Wish.
Can I say that I want all of the listed gametypes here back plus all the other gametypes that were in previous Halo's like juggernaut, headhunter, stockpile, infection, etc? I might not have a say in this yet since I do not yet have halo 5, but I would like the originals back when I do get halo 5.
I would also be interested in seeing Firefight again. I would love to go back to firefight.

Now that Halo 5 has been through all of the monthly updates and they will start being scarce now, I'd like to see (as everyone else) all the past game modes that have been in previous Halo's like King of the Hill, Race, etc. But I'd also like to see some unpopular game modes return too. I for one really did enjoy Dominion and I feel if they revamped it to make it suitable for Halo 5 it'd be fun. Another game mode that I'd like to see make a return is that Insane game type responsible for some amazing maps in Reach like Avalanche and Armor Walkers. That would open up a lot more possibilities for forgers. And something I doubt that would be added but would be really cool is a supported linear infection game mode. Where you can set a number of holdouts they'll have to pass through, the time they'll need to wait until they can continue forward, and etc. That was a bad description but I can see it working out.
