343, please pleas give us something. Anything…surely you must have a screen shot? Halo 4 population is dead. All I hear about is Destiny and Titanfall and BF4 and COD. We have seen a lot of Destiny content at this point and it comes out late 2014…Plase 343 let us know you have something amazing going on for H5. Please, for the real people who miss H:CE and H2 and H3 multiplayer. Not for the casual COD crowd.
I had 74,322 kills in H2 please I have put my time in. Give me something.
I agree with OP. A screenshot or some info of the direction of Halo 5. Bungie was secretive too but we knew what was coming at least a year before release.
Low population, frustrating game, yet it seems Halo fans are still out there just waiting for a hint that 343 listened.
I just want a pure Arena Shooter in 2014. I dont even want to rant about sprint, loadouts, and AAs. We all know they’ve hurt the franchise more than it helped .
I just hope 343 has learned that Halo needs to be Halo. Or at the very least a toggle option for all the nonsense they plan to add along with custom game search.
My only hope for Halo 5 is X1 being more powerful than 360.
Scratches head and twitches “C`mon not even a 2 minute vidoc. I got these cheese burgers man I got these cheeseburgers.” lol I hope that wasnt too inappropriate.

I’m going to have to repeat a statement that I said on a different thread:
> People won’t buy a game that they know little about.
In my opinion, marketing is just as important as development is in terms of the game’s success. And to support that statement, Halo 4 showed us that a game could make a -Yoink- load of money purely through intense marketing despite the long-debated flaws of the game. Hopefully, with Halo 5, 343i will nail on both marketing, and on quality.

No need to, it’s halo what other reason does it need to be amazing the news will come and it will be worth it so be patient. Why should we care about cod? Lol
Stop being paranoid halo is our game no one else’s the core gameplay of halo is still there it just had some extra features that similar to cod, but are also in games like battlefield have it too. Stop showing hate towards cod it’s not worth the energy and focus more love on halo.
These games like titan and destiny need to manually hype their games up with daily news to keep the interest going. Our belief in 343 is what keeps us going and this halo shouldn’t just be for us old fans it should be for the new fans yet to come as well that want something more than just those genetic shooters

Andycu5, fair point. But Halo 4’s marketing – like a lot of the gameplay – isn’t anything to build off. It was lackluster and cross-marketed to death. That might have bumped sales, but I’d rather they spent some of that on QA or beta testing.
But maybe I’m just having a hard time thinking of the right marketing mix that 343 would need to deliver now - today - that will echo until release next holiday season.
Show me something on part with Halo 3’s bubble shield trailer, or ODST’s Live Action piece, and I’ll gladly say money well spent. But put the money where it needs to be right now; I’m not saying little to no marketing - i’m saying save it until momentum can actually build.
The Franky Q&A was enough for now. We’ll have to wait for the Microsoft spring Showcase (assuming it will even be held this year) for more details, and that’s 2-3 months away. Which is not that bad, by the way.

And if 343 started talking NOW about Halo 5 (assuming it’s slated for 2014 which it may well not be) they’d only be trying to compete in the din of Titanfall, Destiny, and the general chaos created by a new console generation’s release.
It’d be wasted effort compared to a “late” reveal, particularly for Microsoft as you can be sure they’ll be heavy into marketing Titanfall for the Xbox One. And so what the Halo 4 population is low? You won’t make the game more interesting by showing off the upgrade.
