This is SUPER smart by Microsoft besides the interesting plot trailers.

Them confirming the release date is good against Sony and Nintendo who had both of their big exclusives get pushed back into next year. Not bad MS, not bad...
 
Shocking really. From the beta, the game needed A LOT of work. Makes me worried to be honest, especially for the readiness of its multiplayer. I would rather have it later with more time if it means a better title. But yeah, 343 doesn't have a reputation for listening to fan feedback...
 
September, October November... what's the difference?

It's a Halo game. No matter how badly 343 fucks it up, there'll realistically always be enough community to sustain everyone.

And while September may be better than October business-wise, I'll take a better polished October game than a business mandated "avoid the big boys!" September.

Plus, at the end of the day... It's still Halo. It's one of the big boys.
 
Notice how in the locke trailer the master chief statue is intact, whereas in the chief trailer, it has its head blown off? Chief seems to mock locke when he states that locke completed his mission, but locke "completing" his mission in the chief's eyes seems to be destroying a statue in his image, or at least being responsible for the events that ultimately led to it happening.

Locke sees taking out the chief as the end, the Chief sees Locke as merely a bump in the road to a much greater end game.

Interesting. Matchmaking times were the only thing I felt they needed some decent work put in on. Everything else required merely tweaks to gameplay. The changes they announced they are making all sound really good. I'm itching to get back into some H5 mp.

Nice catch.
 
two endings? branching storyline? Where's daddy arby? I wasn't prepared to be thinking this hard about a game I was already going to buy with launch being so far away.

Legendary ending will be MC waking up from hypersleep after escaping from Installation 04. Cortana will be alive and well and say she was monitoring his brain patterns during the long flight back to Earth.

"IT WAS ALL A DREAM".
 
It's kinda crazy that the next call of duty will launch a week or two later.

but Halo usually drops before COD and most of those guys who have Xboxs play the heck outta Halo until the next COD comes out. I'm curious as to how well Black Ops 3 will do compared to Halo 5 on Xbox One this year though.

my first thought when the date showed. We will be playing Halo 5 this year.

The big boys will steal the padding in your community, that's the problem, the glory days of having zero competition is over. Still think MCC should be fixed first


Plus... Another Microsoft backed game (COD) will be stealing it's main gem's thunder

Time for 343 devs to hit ballmer peak.
 
Well, I for one, really liked the trailer! Hype intensifies!!!



Also, it's good to have a confirmation for 2015 release, with all those delays happening all the time! Hopefully they will keep at it!
 
I liked Locke's trailer over Chief's. I'm not used to Chief speaking in such...long sentences compared, even for Halo 4's standards. It's just a nitpick for me though it's all very interesting to me.

Yeah, Chief talking in those long sentences was definitely different than usual. Halo 5 should be interesting.
 
The whole 'humanizing Master Chief' thing by making him talk more... I don't like it. That's not him.

Also, I swear to God if they even TRY to turn Chief into another Halsey 'evil but good intentioned' person, I'm done.
 
Well at least one company didn't push out their big first party exclusive...

Next step is it actually works at launch.
 
I really think this is a great release date. Xbox One Halo 5 bundled oh man oh man.
 
What is with people saying Battlefront is soon after? Unless Battlefront was some sales monster that for some reason took forever to get a third game, I think Halo is much bigger. I would also bet many Halo buyers won't move to CoD. They are very different games.

I also could see Battlefront coming out very late November, essentially as close to the film as they can manage. Ride the Star Wars hype all the way.
 
You would think they would have learned their lesson, releasing two weeks before Black Ops 2 with Halo 4 and watching the population literally die the day that game came out, now the same with Black Ops 3?

Wanna take a guess as to when BO2 came out?
