I think they would have announced from the beginning their intentions to go on this path.
Plus, I would think, for the debut Halo game for the Xbox One, would stick to the traditional Halo FPS to draw in the loyal fan base to boost sales for the Xbox One.

Not only is Halo X1 likely going to be Halo 5, the story-arc of Halo Wars will sadly not be continued. (This has indeed been hinted and confirmed by 343i)
> Also me being a large strategy fan i do hope that if this will be Halo Wars 2 that it will add more strategy than just Rush and Overwhelm.
Again, as much as I’d love a Halo Wars 2, I do recall 343i stating that “Halo Xbox One” will be an all new first person shooter running with dedicated servers and a solid 60fps… That’s pretty indicative of it not being Halo Wars 2.
> If it turned out to be an Adventure game it wouldn’t be too far of a stretch for MC’s new journey.
Not too sure that I like Action Games, and any possibility of it not being a First-Person-Shooter has been shot down.
> Halo XB1 could be a third person shooter, as long as 343i manages either type of game as long as the game is well made.
I’m pretty damn confident that it’s Halo 5, but the only other remote possibility is Halo 2 Anniversary (which I’m not too fond of)
Regardless of what it is, it will be a great game.

The difference with the SC-II trailer is that its effectively the process of what the time was a generic terran marine (blizzard gave the guy a name during the animation process) getting geared up for war. It also ends with ‘hell its about time’ referencing how long its been since the previous RTS game. If this trailer were a UNSC marine, or even a generic Spartan, getting geared up for a war, I could probably buy it maybe being an RTS game.
Instead we have a specifically known character from a non-RTS game who is seemingly on his own in a desert. In addition with reports of 60 FPS, and dedicated servers.
The award winning franchise continues on Xbox One, beginning in 2014. Confirmed by HaloWaypoint & David Ellis on twitter. Also confirmed in the video hosted on Waypoint.
Final title to be announced at a later date, written on HaloWaypoint under the reveal video.
Dedicated servers confirmed by Bonnie Ross presentation at E3.
60 frames per second (fps) confirmed by Bonnie Ross presentation at E3.
Master Chief is masking his appearance on purpose (with a cloth cloak), confirmed by Frankie on NeoGAF.
Halo Xbox One confirmed as the official title by bs Angel. The Corrine Yu Tweet and any other media such as official Xbox Facebook page or Forbes website as inaccurate with the title of Halo 5. We await the official title release still.

Thx Phynkesia for posting this in the Halo Xbox One forums (found by frenchfryjordan :
“While we originally said trilogy, we’ve actually expanded this to more of a saga, so we don’t want to limit the Reclaimer story within a trilogy.”
I don’t see anything here saying its a first person shooter. I hope you didn’t mistake the frames per second.

Hey thanks for clearly things up and sorry for the late reply.
Since Microsoft wants to bring Halo into the next generation, and that this is their flagship franchise’s last chance, it’s most likely going to be a FPS.
Many rumors have been circulating that this is Halo 5 (which I kind of figured honestly), and I doubt that it would be anything but first person.
