Halo 5 releasing on August 11 and not October 27

So the Halo 5 artbook was originally set to release August 11… But they have since moved it to October 27. The artbook usually releases on the same day as the game. Maybe they are trying to trick us! Mabye at gamescom they will say, on BTW, Halo 5 is releasing next week. Maybe the original artbook release date was a leak! It all just makes so much sense. And to finish this totally not a conspiracy theory… 343 says they are putting the finishing touches on the game… So… What do you make of this? Am I just some whackjob conspiracy theorist… Or am I right and I’m going to be dragged away by Microsoft and sent to a hole somewhere?

Or maybe the original artbook release date was a placeholder until the game’s actual release date was revealed?

No offense, but I think you’re just reading a little too much into it.

Put the pipe down dude.

Seriously, as awesome as it would be to get it early it isn’t happening.

That would be the worst business decision ever…no.

Or maybe… I’m right…one can only hope

I admire your persistence, but you’re totes wrong brah.

Ahh reminds me of the threads back on Bungie.net when a group of people were convinced that Reach was going to release early because it was leaked.

They don’t want to give away any more spoilers than necessary.

Believe me or not, when they announce it tommarow, you’ll know who guessed it first…lol

People don’t ‘believe’ this because they think about it… and it doesn’t make much sense.
Even all those people who pre-ordered, not all of them will have it paid off, and many of them might not have the money on hand. So what would that mean? A bunch of people who don’t have the money to pay for the game. Let’s not forget the development time taken away… So many reasons why this doesn’t make much sense.

/s right?

Have they even announced the game has gone gold? Or whatever term they use to say the game is finished? Lol

Lots of things don’t make sense, especially when 343 removes splitscreen. That didn’t make sense… But it would if they didn’t have enough time…

Now your just grabbing straws hoping to make your theory work. The game is not coming out early, that’s not the reason there is no split screen and just no.

Nope it doesn’t. Not at all.

They would kill of their own sales by doing so, because the marketing campaign hasn’t started yet for the non Halo fans (TV Spots and such stuff) and it would mean a shorter time to work on it and so on and so forth… So many reasons to not do it.

A game with hype builded up around it sells better than a one that goes like “hey it’s out”

Shh… Don’t say that too loudly. I want H5 to be as refined as possible straight outta the box. Let them take their time.

At this point, I would much prefer if they said, “Hey, it’s out.” because I don’t know how they are going to bring the “non-halo” fans in when there are less features than the last iterations.

It makes no sense… Economically speaking this is one of the worst times to be releasing a game.
