What's the big deal? Everyone knew/knows it's coming on November. The actual day seems irrelevant right now, over 1 year away.

Sounds about right to me. Can't wait

This is a video games forum. Little things like this pertain to the conversation a lot.

It's date when ODST, Halo Reach and Reach remake comes out
So he can concentrate on the launch of MCC I believe. He'll be back
Oh okay, cool. Since I'm going to explode with uncontrollable hype come November 1st.
Probably Kotaku, if it makes it's way to reddit first.

I still think this is the target date despite the denials from Tashi and David Ellis.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
You can choose to believe whatever you'd like. Heck, if I were in your shoes I probably wouldn't believe me either.
The game team used that countdown clock for Halo 4. However, the Halo 5 game team isn't even in that building. I have no idea if it's actually used for anything anymore, but I would not use that picture as confirmation of anything.
omg stop damagecontrolling
they did the same thing this year though
theoretically the could have
quantum break-September
Forza 6 -October
halo- November
tomb raider- December( or probably November also)
It's actually hilarious that the number dates to a Tuesday in November lol.
And by different number everyday, I meant totally different and not decreasing by 1. If anyone finds out what that clock is for, please let me know. It's been an unsolved mystery to me since the day I started lol.
Do you know what the release date is? Maybe it is, but as silly as it sounds no one told you. Someone has to know.

It has to do with lower costs and logistics than it does the convenience of people's schedules. I would rather have the ability to get it on Tuesday than have it sit in the store for 4 days until I can pick it up because it would still ship on Mon/Tuesday. Also, no one is stopping you from waiting till Friday to buy it
As for OP, great catch on the pic! I'm sure someone is getting a talking to for posting that pic! haha
Nov 10th seems like a legit date and at this point I would be shocked if it didn't come out then.
It's entirely possible that all they have is a soft 'Q4/Holiday 2015' window only.

343i hiring all of these Pro players is a good sign for Halo 5 in my opinion. I can only see good things coming from it. Also, not going to be the same without Frankie for a while. How I shall miss him putting people in their place .

Doesn't seem like a countdown to me, IMO. My guess is that it's obviously a teaser for 382-Day Buy-and-Play.

The "it's a mystery clock!" excuse might be the most hilarious PR denial I've ever read. Com'n guys, we're not stupid.
COD is not on the same level now. Also Halo 5 is MS's number one game to sell Xbone. This game will have a really big marketing campaign.
The best answer would have been: "it's our current bug count for the halo 5 beta"

I actually feel like he's just fucking with people with that response.
"Come on, guys! We're totally serious! That random number generator was already there and fully operational before we even constructed our office!"

So it comes out the same time seemingly every Halo comes out. A week after CoD, second week of November. I'm shocked.
