While 4 sold well, it didn't sell the numbers 3 did and the lower than usual multiplayer population should have resulted in less map pack purchases. If anything else, I trust them to follow the money and reverse their inspirations from 4.

From all the responses I've seen from 343i since the launch of 4, I'm not quite sure they have an idea of what went wrong.

No the hype train is runnin' on coal. But hey here's to no expectations
I am not aware of what they've been saying as of late. That's a shame if not, though I'm sure someone like Frankie is well aware of the complaints coming from the Halo community here.

"Oops, didn't put in another personalized weapon drops and armor abilities this time around, we're working on making the game even more random next time, guys"
I'm watching the Halo 4 Global Champ stream, Major Nelson said there will be exclusive Xbox One interviews and surprises in between the show.
Maybe we'll get the name here?

I would really like that, too. I feel like they could really expand the vehicular innovation and diversity in standard combat with bigger maps, which means 16v16 would be great.

Um, what? I have what I consider a grand memory for all things video game related and specifically reveals and obtuse PR releases for games and announcements. I don't recall anything that would lead someone to believe that the new trilogy was coming exclusively (or even all of them) coming to the 360. They only announced Halo 4 for the 360 and at the same time announced that the game would start a new trilogy on Xbox 360. See the distinction was that it would START a new trilogy on the 360. Not that the trilogy itself would be on the 360.
Holy Fucking Shit

Master Chief Returns: Halo 8 X 2 in 2025
A letter? lol
Halo 5 will probably have all of the bullshit from Reach/4 and even more added on top.

I've only ever played Halo 3, and wasn't a big fan. Is this a big announcement...the fact that its Halo "5", or are most of these remarks sarcastic?

Have no clue what to believe anymore?
it might be unrelated to halo
1) It's called Assassins Creed IV Black Flag, it has a number attached to it. In fact people were complaining that they decided to attach a number to it and it would've been better off that they had just kept a subtitle (without a number) instead. Should've used a better Assassins Creed example, like Brotherhood and Revelations.
2) KZ and inFAMOUS are not milked, and having a subtitle instead of a number makes sense. The games are designed so that no knowledge about the story from the past games is needed. They're both starting up new stories with new characters/conflicts and are perfect entry points for people that haven't played any of the other entries in the franchise

It's all genuine reaction. I mean, the next major Halo installment being called Halo 5? There was no way to predict that.

Corrine Yu said it was Halo 5 on twitter right after the announcement
The clouds to the right of Halo is the Master Chief's Helmet. Of course, they always hide a Master Chief helmet in the clouds.
That was just a slogan.

Why didn't the original have the 5 then?
"Oh shit we forgot to put the 5"
"Oh shit we forgot to put the 5"
If you watched the Legendary ending of Halo 3 then you would've expected Halo 4 a LONG time ago. Also, the books told you the convenant weren't the only ones that were a threat to humanity.

Of all the things to hate on Halo for, such as the deterioration in quality in every subsequent release to the point that Halo 4 was comically bad, the fact that the universe goes on isn't one of them. World War 1 was the war to end all wars. Then along came World War 2.

We finished that fight, but then we started another. Oh and the Covenant in 4 weren't there for the previous fight so they didn't get the memo that that one finished.

You actually thought it would end? It makes too much money. Also Halo 4 was the start of a new story.

It was originally the Forerunner trilogy but now its a saga, so you have to find the numerator and carry the one and you can't- you can't land... on the moon with fractions, man, and I have no fucking idea.
