Halo 5 is a great game. Probably the best MP in the series for me!

Maybe I should go back and give the multiplayer a try, the single player disappointed me so much I just put the game down after I was done it...but dam these patches are huge.

In the past, they also discount the game they have available for free. I believe that's how I got Sunset Overdrive.

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch...
I think that a playlist with no party chat and a mash up of wacky custom forge maps like Wipeout or Pod Racers will create the ultimate social matchmaking
No really. It's the best multiplayer the series ever had.
That should have had happened already.
I'll take anything social without background ranking.
I know, It's not only the best in the series, it's the best FPS multiplayer yet.
Gonna boot it up soon actually, got that itch.

Those temple variations of the vehicles look sock.

I'm surpised they didn't say anything about this e3:
"Xbox Lives Free Play Days program"
Or did they? It just makes me curious of what other games will included in this whenever they have the Free Play Days.
I really hope all of the Warzone Maps are used for Fire Fight.

It would have been, "lost in the storm" to an awkward Minecraft demo or some such shit.

Anyone have a reasonable explanation for why the file size is so big?
I know it's not the textures (har har). Is it the voice work? That wouldn't quite make sense either.

This is bringing back memories of the "14 day try and play" or whatever it was called during Halo 4. Oh, the dark ages. Halo 5 counties to knock it out of the park.
It's the base game and the 8 major updates that have followed since launch.

I agree, I just got the Master Chief Collection and I'm finding it incredibly difficult to enjoy the older games, even Halo 4 feels sort of dated compared to a lot of shooters today.

I'm with you. I don't love either of them. But for free, it's definitely worth the download. Plenty of time to get through the campaign.

That was my favorite, they clearly fucked up and tried to cover their tracks. As someone who owned the Halo 4 season pass, I would have been fine with others getting it for free from a mistake. Would have meant more players.
They even do a better job with that stuff now, Fallout 4 was accidentally free and everyone who downloaded it got $10 credit.

He isn't wrong.
Stops working, prompts you to buy the game. Just like a beta I suspect.
Combat evolved... wasn't needed?

Would it be full priced? For the expansions also?
My guess is they're just paving the way to drop the numbers in the same way CoD4: MW went CoD: MW2. We could see Halo: Guardians 2 or something.
5 isn't bad but it's when you get into FF territory it starts becoming a problem IMO.
There are no "expansions", every DLC is free. Maps, Modes, etc
After the week it probably will be full price. In all honesty 30 bucks for this game with the content it has is the steal of this generation.

That's the first thing that popped into my head too. I traded it in initially because I was so disappointed in the campaign and was only ever going to re-buy if a good digital deal happened.
Time to really dig into the multiplayer, even though I really suck in competitive.
Okay, cool. I will get it, why not, especially at 50% off. Will I be able to buy from the game after download or will I have to buy from the store and it will unlock the game I already downloaded?
I know the game is 50 percent off during.. but not sure if that extends farther than that.
And Halo 5 Guardians DLC is free. They have never charged for it.

Great game, the best multiplayer since 3 in my opinion. Still needs a permanent doubles playlist though.
Fucking this PLEASE

"Additionall, Halo 5: Guardians will be on sale for 50 percent off during this same time."
Might be best to decide before July 5th is over. Looking on the xbox.com website, it runs for $59.99 still. So if you wait till after, you will be better off looking for a used copy somewhere that will be way cheaper than paying full price.
Welcome back Frankie! Although i'm not impressed with the direction the single player storyline is taking (and the omission of split screen campaign) I'll always have a huge huge fondness for Halo. Thank you for your contribution towards that.
It will probably say free trail or buy now. Some shit like that.

343's GOAT-level support for Halo 5 is fantastic. I'm very hopeful about the future of this game and future Halo games.
Attack on Sanctum looks really good

But I will continue to dream of a Tsunaion warzone/arena map

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
Are you looking at this shit on your phone?
Download the screen on the monitor/TV you play on. It looks very representative of the game to me.
