I have seen some people saying that halo will die, but IMO the only game that may have an impact will be battlefield 1
Cod: Infinite Warfare: Just like the others Cods it will steal the past call of duty game population, they will see their favorite youtuber saying that is good and they will buy it - Battlefield 1 and the CoD remaster: This ones will really have an impact, It seems that people got bored of futuristic games and they will pop up in these one - Gow 4: Almost all the GoW fans will get this one because it isnt generic like the past GoW. - Titanfall 2: I think it will be just as the first oneI am guessing that propably Battlefield or CoD will be on the first place and almost all the other new games right next to them, halo will struggle, but I dont think it will get out of the page 1 of the most popular games of xbox, just hope they add more content to halo 5, if they dont then it will have a big population problem, thoughts?

Ultimately, I think that Halo 5 will retain enough of an online population to remain viable past the end of the year. The dedicated long-term fans aren’t going anywhere.
Your one-liner regarding Titanfall 2 may be a bit premature, though. For starters, Respawn is including a genuine campaign in this version, along with several multiplayer updates that they have teased. When you combine those factors with numerous “lessons learned” that they gained after their company’s freshman effort, I think that Titanfall 2 will have quite a following.
I don’t understand the point of bashing these games, Call of Duty, Titanfall, Gears of War, and Battlefield have their own followings, it’s not a matter that something is boring and that is out of style or repopulating with the same community, I mean you’re kind of kicking yourself in the groin with the futuristic comment, isn’t Halo set some centuries into the future? I haven’t seen too many Spartans pop up in Battlefield 4 as of late, but I haven’t played for a while could be wrong.
Call of Duty’s biggest offering this year is the revamped MW add-on, theoretically, 343i should take a note from this and DICE’s mindset and look into the past for a fresh start. I played Titanfall and Gears a bit too late in their respective life cycles cause I had not gotten an Xbox until the release of Halo 5, but it was nothing to look past when I was trashing with other Mechs or grinding the face off with a chainsaw.
Halo 5 has a tough road ahead if it wants to stay relevant, and the silence on the end of the developers is not a good sign.
Personally me ill prob keep on playing halo 5 till halo 6 comes out but them horrible spawn points + retrieving data bs are the 2 big things I hate about h5. Pretty much gives me the thoughts of quitting halo5.
If battlefield 1 is anything like bf4 I’ll have a hard time sticking with Halo. If battlefield 1 is like star wars battlefront then I’ll be playing Halo 5 for a while. Open beta soon so we’ll see. I’m already seeing people on my friends list drifting away. Doesn;t mean Halo is bad though, there is just tons of other great games out there.
I agree, Halo gets better with time. More Forgers are coming out with new maps/gametypes, more balance with each patch, more maps will make it into the rotations, and things like fileshare are still confirmed as coming down the line.
That and lets face it, the balanced gameplay of Halo 5 is just so damn good. Arena is addictive imo, especially Team Arena/Slayer.
I can’t wait to be finished with my Achillies Helmet so I can focus on Custom Games and Arena!
I might buy GoW and check it out, but I know for sure I won’t be playing any of those other games over Halo 5.
I don’t think it will die as I have continued to play every other Halo long after people deemed them “dead”. I still play MCC on occasion and people proclaim it “dead”… I was playing H4 long after it was deemed dead and even going back to H3 occasionally when there was only a few thousand people or so and played it.
Meh, I’ve kind of moved on to some RPGs since I wasn’t getting anywhere in the grind for Mark IV armor. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for more gametypes or Halo Wars 2. If CoD 4 remastered gets a separate release I might bite. I’m tired of the futuristic stuff. Titanfall 2 looks like it might have promise, since the franchise was founded on it’s jetpacks and fast mobile gameplay. I’m liking the improvements since the first one so far (and the first one really just needed more modes and a few more weapons.)

I agree. Titanfall 2 looks like an amazing game. They’re also following halo 5 by doing the free DLC. Titanfall was my first Xbox one game and I played a ton of it. I’ll definitely be buying it, but I won’t abandon halo 5.

> I miss the days where other games would wonder if they could compete with Halo… how things have turned.
That’s because back then shooters took on all kinds of forms. Modern military, space shooters, sci-fi but set on Earth shooters, underwater shooters, etc. Everything was easy to identify. You look at one game and go “That’s a Halo game,” or “That’s Crysis,” and then you had “That’s BF,” and “That’s CoD.”
Now? Everyone is doing the fast-paced space shooter, save BF1. While we don’t need a ton of WW1 shooters again, it’d be nice if BF1 ended the trend of space shooters and games went back to being unique. Sure, you can have it be science fiction but we don’t need it to look like the seven other big shooters out there.
Halo used to be so unique because it was basically video game’s Star Wars. It was the science fiction shooter. Now everything has blended, mixed and matched from each other that they are all the same with certain changes that can be major or minor.
Halo won’t “die” from any other rival games released, people that want to play halo will continue to play halo, people that want to play cod etc will play cod, and people that want to play both will play both. It’s not like the world is going to end people.
