I think it's more so to gain mindshare right into E3.
Wouldn't be surprised if there's a few more pre-E3 announcements coming soon.
I have no problem with people getting excited for a game that they want, but I don't see how announcing that a game isn't coming out this year is "dropping a bomb" in a good way. I'm just really confused, as delays are usually met with rage, not excitement.Are people not allowed to express excitement for a series they love? Just getting some concept art and an official name is enough to excite some. No need to be a negative Nancy all the time.
I'm absolutely loving the desert aesthetic, and I have a big suspicion that the upper character is a female Spartan-IV tasked with bringing John back home.
I don't like that the Chief is on the bottom part of the cover art. He's the main character and the Xbox's mascot in my opinion so why is isn't he displayed as prominently as possible? I don't like the font either. Overall not a fan of this cover art.
On a less critical note I'm surprised that the Chief is still wearing his Mk. 6 armor after Halo 4s ending.
If they were smart they'd use this opportunity to leverage the OTHER Platform they have that is flailing and could garner them a large spike in sales for the game:
Halo 5 on Windows 8 available on Steam.
Boosts Halo 5's potential audience tremendously, re-unite with an old fan base, bolster Windows 8, etc. It makes too much sense for them to actually do it.
Superior voice commands and achievements on Xbox One tho
keep hating
Perhaps chief is on top too...and the bottom is a reflection of him

My dear man, you are terribly mistaken. As a professional Wheelman, I can say with absolute certainty that your opinion is factually incorrect.
Thank you and have a wonderful day.
It was never said to be 2014, and recent rumors pointed to it being 2015 so that isn't really a shock, and I'm sure most people are fine with it getting the extra dev time. Plus they're saying we're getting some halo game this year (likely H2A) so it's all good.I have no problem with people getting excited for a game that they want, but I don't see how announcing that a game isn't coming out this year is "dropping a bomb" in a good way.

Soften the blow of a bad NPD?
Look, his visor is still cracked! I am guessing he is going to be going against this spartan. I think the cloak is what fans suspected from the trailer, it wasn't to protect him, it was to have him blend in because he went rogue.
maybe, but I mean this is Halo.
Even though we all know one is coming they always save it for their big "Secret Reveal" at the end of their E3 presentations. Officially announcing it now and giving it a name and date takes out a lot of the "boom!" factor.
Plus if anything I think they announcements made earlier this week would have fed more into that.
Hasn't MS already announced Halo 5 last E3?
I just had a horrifying thought... perhaps the other Spartan will become Johns replacement in the games to come.
How old is 117 now anyway? can't keep this shit up forever.
in be4 ads :'(
You all lose me here. Fuck that, lets not make the game so damn bare bones. Fuck.
Na they'll definitely finish the forerunner trilogy with the MC
IIRC he's about 50 technically, but biologically younger when you factor in time spent in cryo

God I hope there isn't aim down the sights. I hope MSFT as the publisher doesn't push that.
plus he's got the physique of a 21-year old olympic athlete, his bone are unbreakable as well, and that stuff doesn't fade away, he'll probably be that limber well into his 80s, if not, forever.
