So we’re embarking soon on year 2 for Halo 5. End of October will mark the end of year 1. I assume there will be an emblem and maybe a special req pack to honor the moment. One can hope that maybe we will recieve some content update as well. I feel the population here will start to dwindle in year 2 unless they lay out what their plans are. Unless the assumption is everyone will play Halo Wars 2. 343, what type of things do we have to look forward to in year two?
Maybe there will be some anniversary reqs or something
Well I think the October wave of shooters will largely determine how well Halo will do into year 2.
Hopefully new 343 created maps will emerge.
When BF1 is released my time on H5 will drop drastically. Will say,though that finally H5 feels like a complete game. Also The remake of Haven is beautiful. I think its a little too late though. The new haven should have been dropped about 6 months ago. I also believe that the monthly updates should have been packaged into bigger quarterly DLC. If they had done that it would have seemed like we were getting a real DLC release.
A year already?
Time flies…
Titanfall 2 Battlefield 1 and CoD IW will more than likely take away a significant portion of what’s left of the people playing
There won’t be much of a year two, you’re going to see them rapidly shift focus to helping creative assembly with HW2 and then move on to H6

Ahem, Gears of War 4
Already a year in and the game is still missing many of the core features/gametypes we expect from a Halo game… Maybe Year 2 will bring some great stuff, but with the release of many great games this fall, I feel like Halo 5 does not stand a chance anymore. First impressions are everything, and as much as Halo 5 has improved over this past year, that first glimpse of the game left a sour taste in the mouth of many gamers.

While I plan on getting all 3 of those shooters, I will always want to play some Halo. Not that the others aren’t great, I’m especially excited for IW just to see something different, but Halo is just has a different feel from other shooters that you can’t get anywhere else.

a clock emblem would be appropriate.
They are pretty much done with Halo 5. If what couple of additional maps and vehicles variants they are going to add aren’t enough to keep you playing then plan to move on. The only games I am interested in that are being released are Mafia 3 and Halo Wars 2(only for campaign for me). Other than that it’s just going to be H5 and MCC for me. Although I may check out star trek online since its on Xbox one now.
I feel like if they drop support for the title then halo 5 will fade into nothingness.

I hope so, I would assume an emblem for sure.

That’s what I’m worried about, and none of those shooters interest me.

I have a feeling a lot of people will leave for BF1 because it’s the new exciting thing.

Yes it does, doesn’t seem that long.

Well there is at least one more update planned and if the early prototype brute weapons found in the Forge code are any indication they may be planning some sort of large update to coincide with either the lead up to or launch of HW2.

That’s what I’m worried about and none of those games interest me. Halo 6 won’t be till 2017, imagine they will launch it with the Xbox Scorpio.

I just don’t see any major updates left.

Is there a population to even dwindle? I’m ready for h3 anniversary. If done right I think it will save 343 from all the mess they have done so far.
