they had multiple games when they were still coming up with ideas on what to make next like every other studio but once Sea of Thieves was in the works as well as Rare Replay it was only that pretty much. Sea of Thieves only after RR.

I really hope they have some new exclusives up their sleeves, its gonna be a long gen for them if they keep just only treading water with the lack of exclusive games.
What? How would you improve the S?

Too bad that 4 and 5 are to halo what star wars episodes 1 and 2 are to star wars.
some good ideas, but overall pale imitators of what made the series unique. (story-wise anyway. Gunplay in 5 is still solid.)

It's already been a very long gen for them.. Hopefully won't be the case for the next one.

god damn....then I need to watch Episode 2 again. If the best fps multiplayer this gen = Clone Wars then I need to get back and watch it again.

Man so many nay sayers and yet each quarter, Xbox division profits rises. Yes they have to do better no doubt but doom and gloom is not warranted.

Gunplay is solid but i cant say i agree with everything else. For starters 5 launched with the least modes of any vanilla halo barring ce. On top of that there was a heavy emphasis on the heavy grinding/p2w warzone mode and there wasnt even forge or btb at launch.
And while we are on the subject, btb never even recieved its own maps, every btb map has been a forged map. Hell, their launch maps total were inflated by several forged maps and "remixes." Same with the free dlc, which has mainly been just more remixes or night versions of warzone maps with a single remake (haven)
Its a good game overall but they cut a lot of corners and i didnt even start with how much i loathe 5's campaign. And 4's multiplayer was a straight up cod ripoff, that i think can be agreed on by most.

this is bs. Havent spent a dime and am completely competent in Warzone plus have a ton of items (I sell all the warzone cards because Arena>Warzone). The packs are not hard at all to get especially when those same packs give you cards that give you points, point boost/jackpot and XP boost/jackpot as well as ones that have certain conditions and you can sell every single card in the pack for more points. daily packs just for signing in and one each for winning a game in each mode. one per level which with said boosts is easy even when approaching level 100.
This is the mtx model I 100% want them to take if they are going to keep it. Not hard at all to get the packs and doesnt even touch the competitive modes outside of armour, banner things, assassinations (which most people dont use outside of social) and thats pretty much it. my blue rocket launcher can easily KO your gold mantis so feel free to try doing that. hell with the way the packs work and how easily it is to get it I have some of my own too lol.

How is Fable exactly a given at this point?

The Doom and Gloom shit never gets old. MS has been "leaving the game console biz any day now" since 2013. Lol

Do you remember the gloom and doom of the Nintendo days after Wii U? Lol. This is what it reminds me off.

Im like level 120-something and am a member of team frankie, but i stand by what i said. The heavy emphasis on the lootcrate-escue card system is particularly cruel to new comers who havent recieved all the skins/requisitions and still need to grind through the unlocks before they can start unlocking good cards on a consistent basis.
So yes, its not fun going against a mantis when you only have needlers and mongeese
I remember the doom and gloom surrounding the wii u and that was pretty accurate

Yes to Perfect Dark
I can see Goldeneye HD happening but not sure if there is a market for it.
Handheld Xbox? Portable Xbox? Eh. No.
Splinter Cell won't be exclusive, don't think Ubisoft will be willing to do that. Maybe timed.

NO, Halo 4 was the beginning of a new trilogy (the reclaimer trilogy) Halo 6 will rap up this story arc.
I’m personally really looking forward to it.

Yes...i am very well aware halo 4 was the start of a new trilogy. This is not my personal list.
Halo 5s story was horrible and spartan Locke sucks. I rather have a reboot than continue this crap of a new trilogy.

I'm sure they'll cook up a variety of stuff, they will absolutely not want to give up the power advantage to Sony again. Third parties have been MS's butter as they rely on a smaller first party library.
I sold my xbox because I got tired of their output and they have work to do if they want to step up to Nintendo or Sony's level, who put out GOTY titles regularly. E3 was more Halo, Gears, and Forza.

Next Xbox will have me back day one if it launches with Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5 set in Japan and a sequel to Killer Instinct.
Get off to a strong start and then finally make use of all those IP MS is sitting on. A new Fable, a new Perfect Dark and a new Banjo or Conker (maybe both characters in one game?) should be the top priority since I think these games have the most mass market appeal/potential.
It feels like MS are so close to potential greatness but they really need to utilise their legacy IP and build a strong collection of games. They have a diverse enough portfolio of IP they just need to use them properly!
