Halo 5: Guardians. I hate this game having a subtitle. No one calls it Halo: Guardians. Everyone slangs it as Halo 5 or H5. Not HG. Also, only spinoff games have had a subtitle. Reach and ODST. So what was the purpose in giving it a subtitle. Guardians were such a small part of Halo 5. Why didn’t they call it Halo 5: Quest for Cortana. Chief was looking for Cortana who controlled Guardians, and Locke hunted Chief after giving up caring about the Guardians. I just don’t understand why they gave it a subtitle. I think I would have been fine with it if they gave every game a subtitle in the trilogy, but they didn’t. Halo 4. Not Halo 4: Reclaimer. Not Halo 4: Requim. Nothing. Can someone help me understand why it is Halo 5: Guardians and not just Halo 5.
edit: Halo. You mean ‘only seen in the legendary Cutscene’ - Halo.
Title idea: MGS V: Quest for Cortana (Meridian, Genesis, Sunion)
343 is moving from number titles. Do you want to see “Halo 12” or something like “Halo: The Rise” (idk).
But yeah. Hopefully we can at least get the numbers to stop by 8. Because Halo 7 betyer be the luckiest damn game! (Halo lucky number)

They have already stated many many times there will be no campaign dlc.

I would prefer the number titles, it shows the tenure of Halo pretty well.

343i also stated that Cortana was absolutely dead.
Which may still be true, if the Cortana featured in Halo 5 is some corrupted copy, or another character entirely.
Halo 5 obviously had a bumpy development, from what i’ve heard from a few decent sources, some of men and women higher up over at 343 were pretty unorganized during the making of Halo 5, and Microsoft Studios forced 343 into doing things in the game in order for more sales, like REQ packs and taking inspiration from games like Destiny. These are just rumors, but this kind of stuff is common. My guess is that Halo 5 was going to be MUCH different on the story side, and Guardians were going to be completely different in terms of their role in the story. They didn’t really turn out to be anything but shiny objects in the games skyboxes.

They titled it Halo: Combat Evolved because at the time a shooter/action game titled just “Halo” would’ve sounded weak.

You’re completely right. That was a stupid mistake on my part. But the ‘Combat Evolved’ was used to distinguish it from other games, letting it be known it’s a military shooter and not some indie puzzle game like a stupid name like ‘Halo’.

… Which Bungie greatly resented. I don’t believe I’ve ever heard the devs refer to Halo: CE as anything but Halo 1, during the Halo: CE dev commentary I listened to. Also, the CE soundtrack case says only “Halo” on the cover.

who cares, it’s just a name it doesn’t change anything about gameplay, that’s what peolpe should care of
Guardians is a step towards dropping the numbered titles from the Halo franchise and moving into titled games, something Bonnie actually wanted to do for Halo 4. She talked about this around the launch of MCC: http://www.gamerheadlines.com/2014/10/halo-5-guardians-detailed-oxm/

> Ross: At some point, we do want to stop numbering. Especially on Xbox One. If I had my druthers, we wouldn’t have called Halo 4 that – we really look at that game as the start of where he’s going. At some point we need to drop the number and still (let you) know you’ve got a big story coming.

I really wish they wouldn’t do that. Aside from Halo 1 and maybe Reach, numbers have marked a game as flagship ‘mainstream’. I just think it wouldn’t feel right without a number, but that’s just me.
The secret behind the subtitle is to “expand” the Halo universe. 343 are breaking the ice with Halo 5: Guardians, and are VERY hesitant to call the next game “Halo 6”. In fact, they are very likely to kill Chief because of how much they’d prefer to see the franchise go in their own direction. This could be the ultimate destruction of Halo. If they don’t call Halo 6 by it’s rightful name (and unless they make it the best selling Halo game of all time), it’s doomed. The title will be the deal-breaker

To be honest chief dying in some heroic way would probably be really cool. Cause then would be know making the ultimate sacrifice for his team and rest of humanity or something like that. I would honestly think that would be cool. Like how cortana died in halo 4, even tho she did come back.
the guardians are not a small matter I fondly remember one tearing apart the level in campaign making me sprint dearly for my life. They can eradicate a planet. Its the equivalent of a halo ring but with a AI. come on now get real.
