[Storm Raider]

Anyone really surprised by the release date?

 

[Hindle]

I think it's coming Sept 2015 personally, with Tomb Raider in November.

 

[super-heated plasma]

382 days since anyone has played Halo 4 multilayer.

 

[BruiserBear]

Riiiight, a giant clock that shows random numbers everyday. Uh huh.


November 10th it is!

Exactly

Hilarious way for this to leak.

 

[BuggeryBugz]

Anyone really surprised by the release date?

I was hoping it would be earlier to be honest.

 

[T.O.P]

Would be the perfect period imo


I hope i'll be done with half of the stuff in the MCC by that time lol

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Honestly I think pretty much anyone could have guess that release date anyway. An early Tuesday in November? Shocking.

 

[Seventy70]

I'm ready for another mediocre Halo!

Spoiler

...jk I hope its good. still staying pessimistic though

Feels so far away.

 

[John Harker]

Not correct, no

 

[kittens]

Not correct, no

SPILL THE BEANS HARKER

 

[Cartman86]

No way they have a giant clock in the main floor like that. Anyone visiting would just see it.

 

[CrackaF3tt]

Not really surprised by the date. Halo 4 went up against COD when it came out and it looks like MS will be doing the same thing in 2015.

 

[Vintage]

That's probably just a number of dinners served.

 

[Pops Maellard]

That's probably just a number of dinners served.

Steak dinners?

 

[nbnt]

Apparently debunked.

"I don't think anyone actually knows what it's for"

 

[Monster Zero]

Really, a random clock that changes everyday, what an ass response

 

[Kibbles]

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.

Strongside was hired to work on Halo 5 and isn't even in the Halo 5 building? Likely story, *grabs detective gear*

 

[whyman]

True or not, that is about the date we will end up with.

 

[Dylan Sexbang]

Good. Now I can mark the date on my calendar and cross out the days as we go.

Only 382 to go.

 

[Kordelle]

Possibly 382 Hours and counting down to the MCC Release?

 

[Stripper13]

Apparently debunked.

So is there a point where it's no longer considered community management, and rather - outright lying?

 

[AcePartyN7]

Internet is without pity today.

 

[regenhuber88]

Wow
This date is pretty stupid.
Why go head to head with CoD?
Sports titles and a ton of other games will be releasing during that window too.

If Halo 5 isn't the 95/100 metacritc, GOTY type of game. This will end bad.

 

[Cavalier]

Why would they have that timer in cafeteria?

I say it's not nothing

 

[Twin Tails]

rip halo

 

[Tidus_Great]

big name game releasing in November...ya don't say

 

[Diablohead]

So he can concentrate on the launch of MCC I believe. He'll be back

Frankies never die, they are just missing in action.

 

[Ol No Bones]

382 days since anyone has played Halo 4 multilayer.

That's cold hearted. I might play a few matches in MCC because the game is so gorgeous.

 

[Bgamer90]

Wow

The release date for the next COD has already been confirmed?

Sports titles and a ton of other games will be releasing during that window too.

Yeah, so? It's not like Halo is a new IP.

If Halo 5 isn't the 95/100 metacritc, GOTY type of game. This will end bad.

What? Joke post?

Halo obviously has no selling power. Its gonna flop no doubt.

 

[Dodecagon]

Halo 1 - November 15th
Halo 2 - November 9th
Halo 4 - November 6th
Halo 5 - 10/24/2014 + 382 -> Tuesday, November 10th

Or Bungie 343 just has a random clock that nobody knows what it does in their office, like the vault has in lost

 

[Noobcraft]

382 days without incident daaaang. I once worked at a printing company and we were lucky to make it two weeks...

 

[Future PhaZe]

So they have ayame and strongside there I mean if 343 fails again then I'll just give up

 

[RAIDEN1]

This is the "killer app" can't wait, with this I'll get the Xbox 1..have been holding off for a while..

 

[rogue_nine82]

What a way to screw up on your first day....LOL

Almost as bad as getting fired on your day off

 

[Crimson_Fate]

Apparently debunked.

A countdown clock does read different numbers every day. If anything that comment confirmed what it was.

 

[JaggedSac]

That's a funny way to leak something, lol. But why would they try to deny that? We all knew it was coming at the end of next year.

 

[Chittagong]

With Destiny becoming Destiny, is it safe to assume the best of Bungie stayed behind at 343, and that Halo 5 will be the real deal?

 

[Coux]

Frankie is doing an AMA.

 

[Leyasu]

I'll be taking a week off halo 5... Just like I have done with every halo.

 

[thecouncil]

if nobody knows what it's for, they should probably just take it down. seems like a waste otherwise.

 

[pieface]

For some reason I was under the impression that the game would be released in Spring.

Having a BETA 11months before release is a bit early isn't it?

Surely it can't be that far away?

 

[Opus Angelorum]

What? Doesn't everyone have randomly generated countdown timers at home?

 

[op_ivy]

beta is just around the corner, wonder when we'll get our first glimpse of proper footage? early December? at/near launch of MCC (would help drive sales)?

 

[RPGamer92]

Guessing MS's holiday 2015 will be something like this:
September- Quantum Break
October- Forza 6, Gears Collection
November Halo 5, Rise of the Tomb Raider
Everything will be out by Black Friday imo.

[EchoChamber]

 

[The Elite]

Let the ONI misinformation bus ride on.

 

[BradC00]

is that dude kampfheld?

 

[Chobel]

Not correct, no

And done.
