I agree. It is a looooong time. To non-fans of halo, all they see is halo wars, tmcc, a Halo arcade game, a trailer for halo infinite 2 years in a row, and I feel like it is all getting lumped together when they complain about there being too many halo games. They don't really differentiate between the genres and the collection of older games. They don't realize that it will be 5 years since the last true entry in the franchise. Yet here we are starving for a new mainline halo game lol.

It won’t take that long again cause they have a built a brand new engine, and their team size since then has exponentially increased.
I really am going to bed I promise lol. Did you guys see how many job openings 343 has? I wonder is that a good or bad thing or pretty normal for the industry?

Most people don't get the chance to work in the field for which they have the most passion. But here at 343 Industries, that's exactly what you'll do.
Cue more Halo complaining by people who don't like Halo
Sorry for multiple posts in a row but I love hiddenxperia's excitement for Infinite and he touches on a few more things from the trailer.
Edit: TMCC latest adjustments/fixes
Yep I agree. Not sure about the beam towers but interested to find out.
Looks fantastic! I don't have Sea of Thieves, but I love that Chief theme.Argh! I be enacting the Cole Protocol and scuttling the ship in case those Covenant pirates be boarding. We can't let them know the location of our pirate lair!
I hope that proves true. I can beat around the bush all I want, but halo is why I buy Xbox consoles. If Halo didn't exist I would be exclusively a Nintendo fan lol. I just don't get excited about Sony games (maybe next gen?). So I wish I could fast forward to Fall 2020 right now! That isn't to say that I haven't enjoyed a lot of Xbox games though. Ori was straight fire and I had a lot of fun in Sunset Overdrive. Back in the 360 days I also dabbled in some Gears matchmaking.
Yeah completely agree. As Halo has deteriorated so has my enthusiasm for Xbox. I've dabbled in a fair bit of Switch but I'm mainly playing on PC now which is where all my friends have migrated to. I gamed exclusively on 360 last gen because Halo was still strong and there was an active community around it. Hoping it can be restored to that. And for God's sake Microsoft, please pack a microphone into every box this time.
There there good buddy. We'll get some gameplay soon. Maybe. Probably not... from what I understand though it seems they went ahead and left a lot of little easter eggs via super small numbers and whatnot. So perhaps we'll get some kind of tease for gameplay or even better, a beta date. Please let us have a nice Christmas!!
Welcome! I haven't been on Halo 5 in a while. I'm working days this week which makes it harder for me to play, but I'm hoping that the playlist is still going and has plenty of people in it a week from Tuesday, when I switch back to nights. I'll give it a go.
Yeah I really hope we get a beta in December, but I would anticipate it being February
If ya don't mind the occasional debauchery and loud mouth disbelief, feel free to hit me up for some Halo. I too hadn't played Halo 5 in well... years, and it's Multiplayer is on an ENTIRELY different level now in terms of map variety (albeit Forge made but damn does it look good), game modes, and there's even a custom browser which just... *Patchajustright.jpg*. When you get those aim settings right, throw on your groove, and CRANK that music to 11, you're gonna feel like a god damn space rock star. Sprinkle some space crack on your controller before each match if ya want that "authentic" experience though ;p
Yeah I'm down. Is your gamertag the same as gaf? I can't remember if i added you before. It has been a long time so I'm likely to be really terrible.
lol no worries man. I'll send it to ya via PMs.
None that I'm aware of. PC flighting is supposed to happen this month. So less than 2 weeks away. I don't know when Xbox flighting will happen. I'm still waiting for some big TMCC update that Ske7ch talked about.
Discovery Dispatch - Discovery Dispatch: Training Grounds
While the main focus of Outpost Discovery will be bringing the Halo universe to life in a from-digital-to-physical type of way, today we’re actually going to highlight one of the ways that you’ll get to combine both physical and digital immersion for a Halo multiplayer experience unlike you’ve...www.halowaypoint.com
Oh totally. I can't say that I'm that interested in Outpost Discovery. Seems like it is geared more toward the younger crowd and that is fine. If it was coming through my town I'd give it a look but not interested in making travel plans and spending the money on a trip just to go. Rofl your name change is solid!
I wish Halo wasn’t so mainstream. The toys and this just rubs me the wrong way lol
stickkidsam
Saw this and thought of you. If you're on late Monday or Tuesday night, hit me up. Or anyone for that matter.
I'll be on Monday night. Let's rock some socks!
GG's last night. I was terrible lol, but it was fun to jump back into halo 5 and get in some games.
Hell yeah man! We'll have to hang again soon. I'm always down to jump on the MCC too, but man it was fun to play those Anniversary maps.
Not yet we don't, buy from what I understand the Insider testers will be starting soon, or very well may have already. My guess is it'll be out around September/October.
I have not. I would love to know what kind of questions they asked.

Finally an update on TMCC!
Halo: The Master Chief Collection - MCC Development Update - June 2019
This month’s MCC development update covers Forge content imports, Reach’s Forge and Theater status, an E3 recap, more info on the new progression system, community Q&A, some 4k footage, and more!
They talk about Reach and how they will do a one-time transfer of game type and maps that people have made and uploaded to file share. That way you don't lose your creations when playing on TMCC. This includes content created in halo 3, 4, and Reach. Screenshots, films and game clips not going to be transferred.
They go into detail about the new upcoming TMCC progression system, which involves seasons and ranks. These seasons apparently will happen for not just Reach but for all the TMCC games and when you play you earn points to unlock Reach and from the sounds of it, maybe new content for the other games too? They specifically mention using point for Halo CE content, whatever that might be.
Theater mode and forge will be available to console users day one, but PC players will have to wait a little longer.
PC Reach in 4K:
Agreed. I wonder if people trying to unlock Reach content will actually switch to other Halo games when the seasons switch. That would be a method of boosting playlists at least for a short period of time. I have much to do before reach releases on the TMCC. I have to go through and beat halo 4 on legendary and most of the par scores. Last night I also realized that I have the par scores left for halo 3 and odst too.
Here is the latest community update from 343:
Halo Community Update - Debuting Discoveries
Normally we'd hold off publishing during a holiday weekend, but the team has been working hard on Halo: Outpost Discovery's launch in Orlando, HCS Grassroots events and MCC Flighting, to name just a few, so we wanted to make sure you could find all the info wrapped up into one neat location...
- Mostly a recap of all the current stuff happening (Halo Discovery Outpost, Upcoming Tourneys) and what was talked about in the TMCC update last week. Although Unyshek does try to answer a bunch of questions that the TMCC update brought up about PC flighting, Reach Seasons and progression, etc.
I'm not really a fan, but I've gotten used to it. I hate how pertinent news and updates aren't even on the front page half of the time. It feels like you have to dig to find stuff. For example, to even see that there was a community update today (last night), you have to click on the news tab and select community or all news. The front page is cluttered with what feels like big adverts for Halo Infinite and Halo Wars 2. It would be nice if they revamped halowaypoint at some point.
