Walmart seem to think so:

Could be just a placeholder but you never know.

That's sooner than I was expecting. In fact, I wasn't expecting Halo 5 until next year and Halo 2 HD sometime this fall.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

They confused it with H2A.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

It just says Halo Xbox One and not Halo 5 =/

Most likely Halo 2: A.

 

[Dabanton]

Well MS will need a massive game to be near the rest of world launch of the X1.

This isn't halo 5

 

[boinx]

There hasn't been like any marketing and only one CG teaser trailer out?

I don't believe it. I'm betting it's a 2015 game.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Would Halo 2 Anniversary be 60 bucks? Hard to believe.

 

[andreyblade]

Considering October 1 is a Wednesday, not a regular Tuesday, it's looking shaky

 

[Ishan]

yeah if halo 5 releases oct 2014 ill give 10 dollars to the next poster on this thread after me.

EDIT: on topic probably halo 2 a .. walmart lists it as halo for xbox one anyway.

EDIT 2 : well I guess spider Jerusalem you could make 10 bucks .. just tell me you have a us bank account in the unlikely case I have to pay up

 

[Spider_Jerusalem]

Placeholder for H2A.

edit: Ishan good to know

 

[disappeared]

Halo 5 and dish soap on sale

It doesn't say "October 2014." It says "October 1st, 2014." That's a highly suspicious date because it's a Wednesday, and Halo games come out on Tuesdays.

 

[Sendou]

Would Halo 2 Anniversary be 60 bucks? Hard to believe.

I could see that. It's the first current-gen Halo game.

 

[Majine]

A Halo 2A does not excite me at all. I know alot of people have great memories of the game but eh. Moving on, people.

 

[Acquiescence]

I seriously doubt it. The Anniversary game though, sure.

 

[RyanPierre]

Whatever game it's referring to, it seems like a very obvious placeholder date to me.

 

[Spades]

Personally I hope this is H2A and they spend more time getting H5 right, ready for a fall 2015 release.

 

[Mullah88]

MS E3 megaton, Halo 5 launching this year

 

[S¡mon]

Would Halo 2 Anniversary be 60 bucks? Hard to believe.

Why not? People will buy it anyway.

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

I liked Halo 2 quite a bit, but I'm even more excited at the prospect of a Halo 3 port. Hopefully ntkrnl was right.

 

[Dabanton]

Halo 2 had the worse SP out of any of the main titles. If this is going to be H2A I hope to god they expanded things. Halo 2 reeked of compromise and rush.

item description

Halo 5, a Microsoft console exclusive, is a pre-release general shooter game to be released in December of 2014.

If the rumours are correct it isn't just a hd port. It will have some extra features that warrant the 60 bucks.


Also even H2A will not come out in october

Box needs more master chief holding a gun in a heroic pose.

It's all about the multiplayer man, single player can take a long walk.

 

[Rookwood]

I doubt this is true. H2A is all but confirmed to come out this year.

 

[Ishan]

dat prince of persia advert to fool cboat dude ... get with the times

 

[raven777]

Quantum Break and Sunset Overdrive also have the same date on Walmart. So I think it's just placeholder date.

edit: Also they listed MGSV:TPP releasing September 1st. I think these dates are just meaningless.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

They confused it with H2A.

Agreed. More likely to be Halo 2 Anni.

 

[Radec]

They haven't shown any gameplay or info and they're going to release it in 6 months? lol

 

[ultratruman]

I'm not seeing a 5

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

Halo 2 had the worse SP out of any of the main titles.

I agree (if we don't consider ODST a main title), but it was just the least great campaign, not a bad one by any means.

 

[Droopaloop]

A man can dream, but what about Halo 5 campaign. They decided to scrap multiplayer for 5 and just go back to their roots and have Halo 2 multiplayer be on the disc instead?

Spoiler

Pure nonsense, I'm aware.

 

[Dabanton]

They haven't shown any gameplay or info and they're going to release it in 6 months? lol

E3 is pretty soon.

Why show anything before then?

 

[Twin Tails]

In your opinion! I respectfully disagree and counter that by saying IMO it has the best SP campaign.

The information is identical to that of 26/6/2013. It just hasn't been updated.

 

[Trickster]

Do these things where some retailer gives a release date prior to an official date, ever turn out to be true?

 

[Akai__]

I don't think we'll see Halo 5 this year. It also doesn't even say Halo 5 anywhere on that picture, so the title is misleading. Halo for Xbox One, could literally mean anything.

Also, the leaker ntkrnl, was right with several things now, so I assume, that he is right with Halo 2 Anniversary comming out this year, too.

 

[Macready1306]

Would Halo 2 Anniversary be 60 bucks? Hard to believe.

The Last Of Us is that price though...

 

[Doctor Ninja]

Odd, we haven't seen anything about it as of yet since last E3, so I doubt it'll be a 2014 release.

 

[BananaSprinkles]

The Last Of Us is that price though...

That's also a fairly recent game.

A good comparison might be the HDification of FFX and FFX-2 which came out on the same disc and only cost $40.

 

[IHaveIce]

Again it will not just be a HD port if the rumours are true
*Edit: but regardless the price is also a placeholder

 

[Newlove]

It is very likely to be a placeholder.

 

[wapplew]

5 months away without MS hype machine rolling? No way.

 

[samurai1226]

All infos from last E³ are saying Halo on Xbox One in 2014 - So this is actually no real new information

 

[Some Nobody]

Would Halo 2 Anniversary be 60 bucks? Hard to believe.

Dat "next-gen" upgrade.

 

[Hip Hop]

Would Halo 2 Anniversary be 60 bucks? Hard to believe.

I really don't see what's wrong with that, if it gets a total make over in the graphics and gameplay department that it feels like a brand new game. New online modes, features, and such. It would be a game all its own.

I'm hoping for Activision to start doing something similar with COD4 and Modern Warfare 2.
