You the only Real person on this forum, i'm just a big ass fanboy who has never made a criticism of 343. Lol you're about as bad as that dude who was trying to call everyone out for liking WoW over Final fantasy 14 because were all shills and just accept whatever blizzard throws at us.

You're just a shill, obviously.
How else would we learn the TRUTH?

Yup lol, now imagine how cool it'd be if it were designed similarly, how you have to work your way up to stronger units. They could bring back Generator Defense and Invasion, as well as create new objectives like they did with Warzone Firefight. Make the Spartans either have specific loadouts to fit into a class, or custom loadouts but only from the UNSC armory.
I think a mode like this has potential to attract a lot of people. Playing as a Suicide Grunt to take down a fortification? Sign me right up.
We shills need to be told our place! Halo is dad! Halo 5 is daed.

As someone who has been playing Halo on Live since 2004, Halo 5 is a great multiplayer Halo game.
It has flaws and feature gaps, but is on the whole the most enjoyable Halo multiplayer experience since Halo 3, and that's with nostalgia goggles firmly on.

I never thought I'd see the day where people would be accused of being dickriding 343 fanboys...
I mean these guys made Halo 4 and followed it up with MCC.... And through all that carnage, has, allegedly, managed to create a fanbase full of blindly loyal fans...
I think that THIS stands as a testiment to how great Halo 5 truly is. The impressive retention is one thing. But to amass a slurplejerking army after doing what was once thought irreparable damage to the fanbase is an unparalleled accomplishment.

Frankie's known about these ideas for years; I've been shouting from the rooftops whenever relevant lol.
He's like Cersei though, sitting on this ace in the hole until all hope is lost.
Along with Combat Evolved 2.

I feel bad for not jumping back in with Firefight.. damn all you BC games!
So gun game but with the covenant instead of guns? Why is this not in the game right now?
It's been a year since I've had MCC installed on my Xbox and I've been seriously dying to play some CE multi. I miss it so much, and I only barely played it before MCC came out. I just don't want MCC taking up all that disc space.

Halo 5 has been played by over 16.5 million players https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKU23DjP7IY&feature=youtu.be&t=24m20s (Via ICXM)
Yeah, I find this very hard to believe.

And Halo 5's automatic weapon balance is that poop.
I'm assuming you'll get to the Halo 5 weapon balancing right after the MCC is done being updated.
Don't get me wrong though, at least you're moving in the right direction. Halo 5's weapon balancing is at least solid poop in the pool, rather than liquid poop like the last few games.

Nah it is entirely believable. Halo 4 had something like 11 million players that played multiplayer in the first 2 months. Customs in this game are incredible.
Plus the game has been out for 8 months. Long time for that 16.5m

XB1 is likely less than 22m though, so that would be some serious attach rate and there's no way Halo 5 sold that much.

Went back and played some the other night. It's good to be back, but damn I'm bad now. Went from diamond/onyx tier to rusty nail.
Frankie, make Halo 6 VR compatible somehow.
Satans Reverance, did a 343 employee steal one of your ski goggles or something? That's the only logical answer, I remember you giving this game tons of shit months back and we figured out you had played like 5 games of matchmaking.

To be fair, "14 day buy and play" and "it's just a demo build of MCC" are far from the truth.

Well.
This got entertaining.
I think Halo 5 is an excellent Halo - I agree somewhat that the maps maybe don't feel as memorable, but when the gameplay is as great as it is...I'm okay with it.
Plus, I love Forge. So, yeah.

Worst matchmaking in Halo.
Less content than any other Halo. Still missing game modes that has been in every Halo game.
Change colors of the maps and call it NEW MAPS!!
They call whatever they add to the game" support " which should have been there day 1.
Oh and MCC still broken.
Worst developer to handle a big franchise.

Eh, even if we assume the unlikely scenario of # of players = 2x # of copies sold, that statement still wouldn't hold up.

Just thinking about Halo 6 on my PC has me nearly wetting my pants with excitement. Graphics options, Forge, possibility for a custom games browser that have forge minigames in rotations..... Dear christ. It might be one of the biggest games ever. Awesome. Can't wait.

Damn straight. Can't wait to see the future of Halo with this as a base.

We have no idea where Halo 5 sits at right now, and also smurf's are extremely easy to set up on Xbox One. Derankers and new accounts could easily fill up numbers. I mean, look at Satan. He has 3 accounts for no reason.
