Final Content Update Coming out in Fall

In the new community update, we finally got info on the final content update. 343 said it’s coming out sometime in the Fall along with the whole 4K update for Halo 5 on the Xbox One X. Not only that, but they also said it’s gonna be the biggest update yet. It’s about time. What do you think we’re getting in this Content Update?

I think we’re gonna be getting new Warzone and Warzone Assault maps, new Arena maps, new Forge Canvases, you know the usual new Reqs as well. I also think in this update, they’re finally gonna incorporate Warzone Custom Games. 343 saw how successful that glitch was where people played Warzone in Custom Games/playing other gametypes on Warzone maps and probably got their team to make it official so we can have 24 people in Custom Games to play Warzone. Hell, I think they might even take it a step further and make the Warzone maps Forgable. People have wanted to Forge on Warzone maps for a long time. If it can work in Custom Games, 343 might just be able to make the maps Forgable.

Everyone speculated there was one last update, and here it is.

Someone asked Grim on Twitter if the update meant that “we MAY get new reqs or Forge items”?

Grim replied saying “Assume not”.

Therefore, I’m not sure if there’s any plans for new new content.

It sounds like the update is more focused on improving Multiplayer and fixing issues, ATM.

It wasn’t speculation, we knew. They said it.

For what it’s worth? They did say a Sandbox update, and that’s very different from a usual update.

**BUT.**There is another content update coming. Period. It must, because how better to launch Halo 5 on Xbox One X?

New content, new visuals (ooohhhh baby~! Finally, Halo 5 can look freakin’ CONTEMPORARY!), new balancing, all sorts of stuff. It only makes sense then, that we end up with brand new content. But here’s the thing.

Gamecheat13 showed us they were working on Brute Weapons. The Sentinel Beam, Wasp Variants, AA Wraiths and stuff, those were all legit but slightly unfinished. There was no extra modding here, just as there isn’t with the Brute Weaponry.

And guess what else is about to end? Halo Wars 2’s Season Pass scheduled updates. YapYap is gonna be the last one we get from that, and after that is Awakening The Nightmare.

343i has given Halo Wars 2 the full spotlight, which isn’t a bad thing- it needed it so it could be ingrained and legitimized as a Halo product even more than it had before. Now that Halo Wars 2’s scheduled performance is about to close, after which they’ll be living on royalties of their hit single, Halo 5 can get the limelight One Last Time before 343i starts talking about their newest and biggest Halo project yet, next year.

Granted.This is said without much base, but it all makes sense. It goes along the trends we’ve seen. I have faith that this is how it’s gonna roll out.

There’s gonna be one more content update. This was confirmed all the way back in September. 343 had said there were 2 content updates left and Monitor’s Bounty was one of them. Also Grim was most likely talking about the Sandbox Update coming out soon. Not the Fall Update.

I still maintain my hope for a Warzone map set on Requiem / Genesis.

Me too. I hope we get a true Forerunner Warzone map. Apex is on a Halo Ring, but you barely see the Forerunner structures aside from the Spire. It’s mostly grass and trees. I want a Forerunner map that’s either on a Halo Ring, Requiem or Genesis and we can all see it’s structures. You know what, I hope that Forerunner Warzone map is like Valhalla/Bloodgulch on a much bigger scale. That would be amazing.

we need another warzone map and we could use some new stuff for halo 5. It would be nice to have the warzone custom games too. It would help the pc folks as who have this game.

I just want falcon and 24 man lobbies

It’s important to have reasonable expectations. FYI:

we can all hope, but i believe the true additions will be minimal. All we can hope for is an announcement this fall for Halo 6 (which should be coming out next fall)

By the way, why does it seem like 343 mostly talks with the community on Twitter and Reddit? I kind of wish they would visit this website more often.

I was hoping for more reqs… like one big dump of halo 3 themed or something. What are we suppose to do with our points.
Maps would be nice. But that’s a lot of work unless they put in all player made ones. I already miss goofing off on the ghost in shell maps. Even tho they had spawn issues

I pray it doesn’t break the game…again, like all the previous updates.

I’m just hoping for req opening and customization on pc

I hope its good but its ridiculous how halo 5 will be over 100GB when this releases.

We’ll probably get that third grenade launcher variant along with maybe a sentinel beam variant and maybe some new stuff for forge (I’m keeping my expectations low so I don’t disappoint myself lol)

Assumed the update would come too since E3. Mainly because it be odd if only HW2 got the 4K update when the Xbox One X launches. I would hope MCC would too but I have my doubts.

I guess I’ll have to mothball Banjo :frowning:

It’d definitely be nice to get new maps, but they might also add new req weapons. It probably won’t happen, but it’d be cool
