Almost seven(!) years ago I wrote an extensive treatise on what I think would make the ultimate Halo game. I gave it a huge overhaul in the spring of 2012, then again in the summer of 2013. And now I've finished my third major edit to the article.

Mostly it incorporates some ideas from Halo 5 (I mention the game by name 43 times in the article). Even though there's a lot I don't like about the most recent Halo game, it does have a few interesting ideas that deserve further attention. I've also retooled some other sections, changing or discarding old ideas I had that I no longer think are all that great. I made a ton of edits overall, and hardly any subsections was left completely untouched. Nearly everything from controls to weapons to Forge to multiplayer to enemies has been edited.

If you're interested, go skim through it here.

And if you're interested in seeing how much has changed since I first published the article, HBO still has a mirrored version of the original version.
