Imagine if Halo 5 had 4 editions. Multiplayer F2P, Standard, Limited, and Legendary.

Personally, if they sold Halo 5 for 59.99-69.99 with no campaign, I wouldn’t buy it. Darned if I’m going to pay that much for just multiplayer and a glorified spec ops. 39.99-49.99, then we can talk. For a game to be sold for that much it better be complete, and I don’t consider a game complete without a campaign of some sort (yes, I love to play campaign, I guess I’m one of the few left)

I very much doubt it will be for Free. MS wouldn’t allow it.

F@P means free to player just so we are all clear on that.
> For the love of all that is Halo, don’t do this. It will only further destroy Halo, the bits that are left of it.
How at all will that happen? IT’S FREE. 2. PLAY. Halo will regain it’s popularity while being the most competitive experience since Halo 3. If you buy the standard edition or up, you get the campaign, firefight and everything.
We need a remake of Halo 4. 343i should call it Halo 4: Competitive Edition. This time, the developers do not hold the casual player’s hands. When the next official game comes out, call it Halo 5 but make it a competive game like it was meant to be.
I thought my grammar was bad in certain circumstances. Never would have I thought that there is so much erroneous syntax here on these forums at this moment.
Only way that would happen is if Xbox Live changed their policies with the new Xbox that’s coming out. That is, made Xbox Live free. Otherwise, there’s no way that would happen.
no… i think you’ve missed the point, the game just has to be fun to play. i’d rather pay a base price and get everything than micro transactions any time
No.
People have said this before, but since the point hasn’t gotten through…Microsoft never does anything big for free. They always seek to make a profit. Free-2-play makes no sense for them.
And even if there was a free version, I wouldn’t play it. I will play the full version, if any at all. If I want a free edition, I’ll get the demo.
