Yea I'm gonna guess they have no idea what they're talking about. No way 343 would be releasing a game in the next 6-8 months...the only thing we've got so far is a CG trailer.
yeah while it surely is a mistake on their part, I wouldn't even be surprised. Halo 4's promotianal campaign started really late, had huge gaps and lacked information.
I expect nothing better this time, hell we probably won't even get a trailer at the VGAs again

Did it?
E3 2011 announce, HaloFest coverage at PAX, Game Informer Unveil, Spring Showcase Multiplayer & Chief Redesign, E3 2012 Singleplayer and Infinity unveil, Forerunner Vidoc mix of multiplayer stuff in the summer, Forge, Awful CTF etc, another Vidoc, Forward Unto Dawn & the Scanned trailer.
Seems to be the traditional scheduling for a lot of shooters these days.

Going to be November without a doubt.
I dunno, I'm liking its design:
I'm glad they're showing what Godzilla actually looks like. I was worried it was going to be Cloverfield all over again. I wanna see the monsters man!

I think september
HaloFest coverage gave us nothing really as infos. Game Informer threw more questions at us than answers. E3 gave us something yes.
For me the E3 was the first real set of news since the E3 2011 cg trailer.
I give you the ViDocs, though I still think Bungie did better with them. FUD was not really H4 news.
Maybe I'm just still salty we heard the worst news in a magazine that isn't even aviable worldwide ( gameinformer MP infos) and got no beta
I dunno, I'm liking its design:
I know it's Godzilla, not an actual dinosaur, but the tripod posture just really bothers me. It feels like a cheap Asian knockoff of a Charles Knight painting or something and really, really dated.
Almost assuredly.
I'd expect to see first details around February-March like with Halo 4. Maybe something at the VGAs.

Halo 5 needs a beta early before release so the community can tell them everything that is wrong and if needed serious overhauls can be made.
It won't happen.
As a side note these small scale internal, Friends and family beta's are useless.

You sell more in November, worked out great for them with Halo 4. I doubt they'll stray from that.
I don't think they will go head to head with CoD again. September will be their "own" month.
That's my feeling on it though.

Absolutely I just expect Novemeber 2014 to be crazy for games, September is usually relativly empty but just on the crust of holiday ramp up. It worked great for previous Halo titles and GTA.
People can buy it for early Xmas present, Buy it because money is not yet focused on Xmas presents and because its a game free period usually.
You're most likely right and it will be Novemeber however.

This, seriously. The masses were already long gone by the time 343 tried fixing up Halo 4.

Come on now, try and be positive! They will include beta access with Halo 3 PC.

You said promotional campaign, not "news".
So all of those things I mentioned apply.

With a 2-year dev cycle, taking their time is already out of the window. Best they can do is just listen to what the community tells them and be transparent about what they are doing for the game.

That dreamboat has sailed.
I struggle to have hope for Halo 5 at all, It's saddening and I feel like a dick saying it because I'd wager a few devs actually read the posts here but 343i lost me with Halo 4. I can't find anything but frustration from the MP because of the plethora of problems those far more articulate than me have documented and while I still love the universe crafted by bungie after Halo 4 I feel less compelled than ever to return to it.
Spartans Ops was all hype no substance, features have been cut with no hint they will return and 343i's "vision" of Halo seems not to gel with my own.
A new gen is almost upon us hopefully something else will capture me as Halo did, Maybe destiny but I doubt it.

Don't worry. They'll show a quick clip of Halo XB1 in 60fps with classic settings and the hype train will start all over again. I will be the conductor of said hype train lol
It's going to become a class-based game. It just seems logical based on evolution.
Infinity Halo One. All Infinity, all the infinity time.
You are right. I should have clarified I meant news distribution.
They've changed the Infinity Slayer Playlist to Team Slayer and since launch matchmaking has implemented more and more gametypes/playlists that stray away from Infinity settings.
There are more factors that contribute to Halo 4's online population than just the maps/settings and playlists but they're definitely a large factor. Halo 4 lost a huge chunk of the hardcore audience and 343 knows it. I don't necessarily think they're gone forever though. Many people just want a Halo they can love again.

That's pretty much the only reason I'll be keeping up with Halo 5's development. Even though Halo 4 isn't what I want it to be, it is a lot better than it was at launch, and feedback seems to matter to 343 to an extent.
I'm really hoping Halo 5 is good, because there are literally no other arena shooters in the foreseeable future. I'd buy an Xbox One solely for good Halo.

Transparency is key for a franchise as beloved as Halo. Hopefully with the changes in policies and how players receive updates we'll be more involved, both before and after its release.

Something tells me we'll see "halo5br4sk60fps.gif" and everyone will cream their pants and the cycle will begin anew.
We'll end up getting the definitive Halo from the creators of Halo 4.

So they actually the showed godzilla ? thank god its not like the other godzilka movie trailers where they showed "her" design to the very last last moment.

I wonder if they'll show something that isn't representative of the what the game actually is like H4 again.

You guys are underestimating 343.
Last time they pulled out the gameplay on VHS on a crappy 10inch tube tv in the rafters of a barn recorded on a crappy shaky camera. I mean come on that was genius.
They're gonna go balls deep this time for sure. I'm just throwing out ideas right now but could you imagine the hype train originating from a Betamax video?
Insanity waiting to happen.

What they showed was BR slayer. It was one of the gametypes in development (1 of 6 Slayer types I believe). I'm not going to point fingers and say 343 gave us the bait and switch. We really don't know what happened to that gametype and the whole story with Infinity.

The structure in the background (with the ramp opening toward the screen) looks like the pillars on the side make legs, the roof makes a shell, and the ramp makes a head.
It's a turtle.
Call your map Turtle Cove.
Use that capture card as inspiration. Call it Blur or something

Tashi plz!
plz!
They showed what the hardcore wanted to see, that original video was just much only BR and discussion about player movement.
The game was always going to have perks, AA's, 40 weapons, etc.
Obviously that was a gametype that existed at one point in development, but there's no way it represented the core or default gametype styles that are in the game.

Haha. First of all, I posted off my phone those pictures. I apologies for the big blurry pictures; its not so bad if its smaller size lol... Second, I will take Blur as a inspirational name for it lol. Third, Turtles Cove sounds pretty cool as well as Blur. Finally, sorry about the big ass blurry pictures.

Reminds me of people dying for the Halo 1 Pistol's return in Halo 3 and that alpha footage revealing the new Pistol that looked similar.
People. Went. Crazy. Then Bungie kept talking about how skillful Pistol players can use it effectively against anything else lmfao - Honestly though, if that weapon had more range with a 2x scope.. probably would've used it more frequently over the BR.
-EDIT-
If Tashi would just stop avoiding him and play the damn map already, maybe he wouldn't be on your ignore list right now!
...
I'm upgrading my capture card soon
Just start wrapping your pics in [ quote][/quote] tags (without that space)

Hahaha I know! I make fun of Tashi for this more often than you'd think.
