Just in time for the long weekend.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

I've been waiting for this one for a long time. Very excited to finally get a date!

This seems pretty cool too:

To celebrate the release of Warzone Firefight next week, the full game of Halo 5: Guardians will be available to download and play FOR FREE to all Xbox Live Gold members from June 29 to July 5 as part of Xbox Live’s “Free Play Days” program. Additionally, Halo 5: Guardians will be on sale for 50 percent off during this same time. There’s no better time to join the Spartan ranks!

 

[TKR92]

It's about time

 

[ShinAmano]

Awesome

 

[witness]

So excited for this! This mode will keep this game in my rotation until H6. Also I see the game will be free to play for that week, no excuses not to try it people! I'm down for some GAF groups.

 

[EroticSushi]

Excited for this. Had a blast during its beta.

They're also offering players to play H5 and FF for free during the week of release. 50% off sale as well.

Awwwwww yeeeeaaaahhhhh

 

[Emperor Bohe]

I haven't played in Halo 5 in a while... how do the retro weapons work? Are they just pick ups on the map? Or are they skins?

 

[TheCanisDirus]

Can't decide if I'll come back for this. How's the multiplayer population currently?

Did they ever add oddball?

 

[Bits N Pieces]

Doffs cap to 343i.

Incredible post release support of this game by 343 and MS.

Can't wait to dive back into this next week

 

[Blue Ninja]

I'm totally ready to play the shit out of Halo 5 again. Feels like I've been waiting forever.

 

[etta]

This seems pretty cool too:

Woah, very cool! With the 50% off too.

Population is good. Oddball is not added (although you can custom game it... sort of. yuck)

Some of them like the H2 BR and classic rocket launcher, are on-map pickups, but everything else is Warzone exclusive as a single-use card.

 

[backflip10019]

Awesome, time to come back for a little.

 

[link1201]

I hope the Fireworks emblem is animated.



Yeah should put the free bit in the OP.

Cool on for former... boooooo on the later I'll pass.

 

[pitchfork]

Excellent!

Can't wait for this to drop

 

[Moofers]

Awesome. I bought Halo 5 specifically for this mode after enjoying the beta. I've gotten a lot of value out of it since, but I'm real happy this is right around the corner!

 

[Dylan Sexbang]

I thought that map screenshot was the Wargames map from Titanfall at first. Really threw me off.

 

[Bornstellar]

Campaign scoring is cool, but I wish there was a way to fine tune difficulty beyond skulls.

 

[Theorry]

Wait see the full game is free for a week? Or just some sort of trial?

 

[Akai__]

Just an information for those who plan to download this as part of the Free Download Promo:

Halo 5 is already 81GB large and with this Update it will probably crack the 90GB mark pretty easily. Maybe Frankie or David could confirm that.

I have been saying for a while that games should let you download MP and SP separately.

[The Jackdog]

the game, not the update

 

[Deleted member 752119]

I'll be at the beach that weekend, but I'm looking forward to this.

 

[aBarreras]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESS

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

Nice! Should see a boost in players with the full game being free for about a week. Will be interesting to see how they remixed The Rig.

 

[Vince DiCola]

I wish 343 could design interesting armour. My main gripe with their Halo
