Game content support not ending in June

there you have it: https://m.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/4j43pk/frankie_confirms_june_is_not_going_to_be_the_last/

Well, I figured as much.

Glad to have it confirmed.

I think after the free DLC plan they gave us, paid DLC is going to be introduced. Hey, they get money so they’ll do anything. Also it will be almost a year since launch so it shouldn’t divide the community that much, depending on how they introduce it.

Lazy link.

Why aren’t ‘announcements’ like this on the Waypoint forums. (The individuals on the link are unfamiliar to me and I’d just like to know).

Most of us left will pay for DLC :slight_smile:

the community that still plays is way smaller then the community that played at launch.

There’s never been a halo game with such a small community playing with such a small pop this recent after a launch. First impressions matter more than a content drip plan.

Source?

Also, I hope they don’t do paid DLC. I’m not sure why they would, since the REQ system would still be bringing them in tons of money.

343 doesnt publish the numbers so we have to play a game to discover this info. Example: Battlefront had at most 17k in the past 24 hours, H5 is 15th on the most played list right behind SWBF. Thus, H5 has less than 17k-ish (at any given time) under its current pop.

I can live with that.

Do you realize Reach on average still has a Pop of 14 - 28k. So reach has a better Pop them H5.

It wouldn’t surprise me, can you validate that? That would be interesting to see.

To be fair that are the average estimates of H5 too.

SOURCE :
Xbox Games Catalog: All Games | Xbox,
Halo 5 has consistently been out of the TOP 10 Most popular Games on XBOX just a few months after launch!!!

.
It will creep back up into the TOP 10 from time to time coinciding with an update, but drops back out in a matter of days when folks see they were jipped yet again.
.
What’s actually hysterical is that we JUST got MoR update and Halo 5 is actually in 15th place as of 8:30am today. Now that is a serious LMFAO moment !!!

So people are not playing halo as much as they used to play. We can all provide a hypothesis for a reason behind this, could it be people do not like the direction of the franchise currently?

Step 1: Insert REACH disc into Xbone

.
Step 2: Go into Multiplayer MENU

.

Ya see, here’s the thing…REACH actually has a POPULATION COUNTER so not only can you see how many people TOTAL are playing REACH, you can ALSO see how many people are playing any one of the DOZENS and DOZENS of game MODE/TYPEs REACH has to offer.

.
Here’s some more INSULT-to-INJURY for Halo 5/343i…the vast majority of those game modes/types were AVAILABLE AT LAUNCH in REACH. Again LMFAO.

That would be my guess!

Why would they offer paid DLC when what they are doing currently with REQ’s is extremely successful?
