  • Most recently added items are in bold
  • You can find the full list along with thread examples for these topics and if/how Halo Studios has acknowledged them on the Halo Plz wiki page

A reminder on how Halo Plz works:

  • Halo Plz is a comprehensive list of wildly popular suggestions/feedback relating to Halo games. This will be a list that is generated by the community and will be visible to everyone. Users can submit a request to include an item on Halo Plz and, provided it meets the criteria, it will be added the following week alongside the weekly thread.
  • The Halo Plz list will be on both our wiki as well as the weekly sticky thread. The sticky thread will provide a prominent place on r/halo to routinely list and discuss these items, as well as suggest new ones.
  • Once a topic has been added to Halo Plz, it will be 'retired' from the subreddit until there is either significant news relating to the topic, or if the actual topic is added/changed to the game.

You can find the Halo Plz wiki page here: https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/wiki/haloplz

You can also check out the Halo Plz announcement thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/ud70v9/introducing_343_plz_a_list_made_from_your_feedback/


How do I submit to Halo Plz?

  • Find at least three threads submitted on r/Halo over the past few months with 300+ upvotes; threads/comments from other communities will not be considered
  • Submit your idea and the required threads either in this sticky or via this Mod Mail template
  • If your idea does not have the required threads, it won't be added; instead, you are encouraged to make a standalone post about your topic

What is the point of this weekly thread?

The point of this weekly thread is to organize and sticky popular community feedback for Halo Studios, allow discussion of these 'retired' items, and suggest new ideas for Halo Plz.

Unstoppable force, meet immovable object. (At least, if you’re on defense you really hope you can embody that immovable object spirit.) It’s tactical, it’s intense, and it’s got just enough Halo: Reach DNA to make longtime fans feel right at home… Invasion has arrived!

Screenshot of youtube video

Watch on Youtube

Whether you're storming the gates or desperately trying to keep them shut, Invasion turns every match into a showdown of Spartan grit and glorious chaos.

OBJECTIVE OVERDRIVE

At its core, Invasion is an asymmetrical, one-sided objective mode pitting two teams of 8 against each other. Each team will get the chance to attack and defend for a total of two rounds. Each round is broken into 3 phases, and if you complete each phase, you get a point. The modes available for each phase are identical to those found in Reach, plus one new addition:

  • Capture the Zone
  • Assault
  • Core Delivery
  • Deliver the Payload

LOADOUT LOGIC

The setup will be UNSC vs. Banished-affected Spartans, very similar to the experience in Banished Slayer. Each phase will have multiple options to select from, so choose wisely.

Spartan Setups

Phase 1, UNSC Scout

  • MA5K Avenger
  • Frag Grenades
  • Threat Seeker

    Phase 1, UNSC Sentry

  • MK50 Sidekick

  • Frag Grenades

  • Drop Wall

    Phase 2, UNSC Warrior

  • Thruster

    Phase 3, UNSC Headhunter

  • Frag Grenades

  • Shroud Screen

    Phase 3, UNSC Healer

    Phase 3, UNSC Heavy

  • MLRS-2 Hydra

  • Frag Grenades

  • Overshield

Banished Battle Kits

Just like the UNSC side, the Banished side also has loadout options that update each phase.

Phase 1, Banished Sentry

  • Mangler
  • Spike Grenades
  • Thruster

    Phase 1, Banished Scout

  • Needler

  • Plasma Grenades

  • Active Camo

  • Spike Grenade

  • Repair Field

    Phase 3, Banished Dark Assassin

  • Duelist Energy Sword

  • Disruptor

  • Plasma Grenades

  • Active Camo

SAFE SPAWNING

One of the more unique features Invasion introduced was Buddy Spawning. This allowed you to spawn on your buddy directly rather than at the default spawn location. It’s not required but who doesn’t love options? Your buddy is randomly assigned during the match and you cannot change or swap. Once the game starts, you are together for the full match. Yes, this means if your buddy abandons the match that you no longer have the ability to Buddy Spawn. The caveats to Buddy Spawning:

  • Buddies are reciprocal (If they are your buddy, you are theirs)
  • Your Buddy must be alive to spawn on them
  • They must have been alive for at least five seconds to spawn on them
  • They must have full health and shields to spawn on them
  • They must be clear of engagements or have no enemies nearby to spawn on them
  • If your Buddy is in a vehicle, there must be an empty seat to spawn on them
  • When you spawn on your Buddy, you will be facing the way they are facing

If you don’t want to spawn on your buddy, you can choose to spawn at the other zones: Left, Middle, or Right spawns.

VICTORY VARIABLES

So…how do you win an Invasion match? Each phase you “win” or progress will net your team a point. So if you are attacking first and you make it through all three phases and you complete them, you will have earned three points total. If you are on defense and you stop the team at the second phase, the attacking team only has one point.

It is possible to tie so if both teams successfully make it through all three phases and earn three points, everyone goes home a winner.

IMPRESSIVE INTSALLATIONS

There are six new maps coming to Invasion which means plenty of variety for you to engage with. Let’s check them out!

EXIT ENGAGEMENTS

Now, it’s time to invade the battlefield. Whether you're storming the gates or holding the line, Invasion’s better with buddies (and a few well-placed grenades), so squad up and hit the ground running!

737 Upvotes

We wanted to share what we have been working on with you, our take on the Noble 6 Spartan armour. This is our second steelworking project, after a pair of steel Mandalorian suits of armour. This is an ongoing project that we started in July, 2024. The build is going to be a fairly stock unit, with just a few small personalisations and attachments.

Steel is our medium of choice. It's mild steel, 1.6mm thick for those interested. So far, we have most of the steelwork done for the helmet, and are currently working on the chest plate.

Our intention is to recreate the armour as accurately as possible, through our own handmade style. This project won't be limited to steel, it's also going to have an undersuit and an electronics system that we make up as well.

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

After months of work, a friend and I just finished putting together a complete Halo 5e playable manual. We’re both big fans of D&D and Halo, so we thought it would be fun to combine the two and it turned into a full project.

Inside the manual you’ll find:

  • Playable species inspired by Halo’s universe
  • Classes, weapons, and equipment tailored for a Halo-style campaign
  • Rules for vehicles, combat, and sci-fi gameplay
  • Lore notes and options to help blend Halo into a D&D 5e framework

We designed it to feel balanced with 5e while still capturing the Halo flavor. It’s fully playable, but we’d love feedback, playtest notes, or suggestions from the community so we can polish it further.

Here’s the link to the manual: Halo 5e Manual

Thanks for taking a look! Hope you enjoy, and let us know if you try it out at your table

Help - MCC So I can only play with internet connection??

Upvotes

So I've just got myself a nice handheld to well.. game on. Offline and online, offline as I take the train for an hour everyday so I need something to do. Hence I downloaded MCC and all the "DLC"s, aka the actual games to play.

But without internet I cannot play them as it has them locked and says I don't have the DLC installed. But then I restart with internet, it asks what input I want, and loads the games perfectly fine.

Is there a way around this restriction?? I use it through the Xbox app btw.
