If your stock drops on release does the game suck?

If Halo 5 is good… why is Microsoft stock in DECLINE since Halo 5 release?
Makes me think I am right in not buying the game because there will be no population, but I could be wrong.
Watching various streamers (4 out of 5 I watched) and they are saying it is Halo Advanced Warfare from the movement to the supply drops (req packs being Pay to Win) .
Seeing lots of comments/posts complaining about
Aim
Movement
Pay To Win
Lag
Ugly Textures
Resolution
Pay To Win
Seems to me like the people who made this game are completely out of touch with the community.
I have not played the game yet, I am still open to buying, but I am NOT going down the same road Halo 4 or The Master Chief Collection had/ has with no population.
I HATED Advanced Warfare. Does this game feel similar? I would like to play Halo 5, but I am still on the fence.
Help me help you add people to the population.
I am torn because I love Halo, but people are saying this is not Halo. What are your thoughts?

Don’t really understand the complaints about aim, but they tell about how they have changed the aim assistance in the latest sprint video. I like the movement, you just have to adapt to using your thrusters and such. I don’t find the REQ packs pay to win, you can buy them with REQ points you have earned from playing, and then just pray to RNGesus. Haven’t experienced any lag, the game is smooth. The gameplay is fun and so is multiplayer, but we need more gamemodes, that is my only complaint at the moment.

You obviously don’t understand the markets lol.

The game play does look very smooth, that is why I am on the fence.

It is indeed smooth, but you will see AI in the background running at 30 fps. It is annoying at first, but it mostly happens when a lot of stuff is going on, so you don’t really notice it.

If a company has good revenue, the stock will go up. If it loses money on an investment I.E 343 (Owned by Microsoft) not selling, the stock will drop. What is hard to understand? Seems like you don’t understand that demand based on investments reflect stock price considerate of it’s volume.
When releasing High demand products, stock rates will rise, not fall based on great sales.
Example would be Apple.
When they release products the stock is reflective of the sales figures.
Try school. Grade 2 Mathematics will suffice.

Eww! Advanced Warfare was horrible! Halo 5 is much better than that sorry excuse for a CoD game (No offense to any AW fans, but CoD has done much better before.)
IMO: Halo 5 is a Halo game, and if you like Halo you should play it. Arena multiplayer is balanced and rewards skill. Warzone is a blast and a half and all around just fun (If you like BTB). Campaign, from what I’ve played, has been engaging and challenging, (Playing on Legendary so I’m taking my time with it.)
I like Halo 5 and it feels like a great addition to the saga.

So…how does this affect sniping and long range engagements? Does everything looks blurry or skippy? If I am right you say you get 60 up close, but 30 at a distance.
Logically it seems that would be a problem, but I could be wrong. Care to help me understand? Example please if you have time?

EDIT Does the FR Drop affect anything other than AI?

Yeah 60 fps when they are nearby and 30 when they are far away. Haven’t really tried to snipe them, so I sadly can’t answer your question.
The FR drop only affects AI.

Is there a true correlation? Do you have a source or evidence that this is indeed the case? I don’t think Microsoft’s face is one of Master Chief or the Halo series. Regardless if Halo is owned by Microsoft. Couldn’t the stock dropped for a multitude of other reasons? Did the stock drop the day of the 27th or the day after? Are they continuing to decline? Has there been any other noteworthy Microsoft releases, press conferences, or events in the time that the drop occurred?

Yes, stock dropped the following morning after release, and has not fully recovered. A 3-5 point margin is sufficient to gauge the volume of investments in 343.

Please cite your source, as googling actually only brings up this topic.

The stocks can plummet into the sewers if they want, but I love the game. I’ll be playing it for a good while, I don’t think it sucks.

Halo 5 sucks because its got an atrocious storyline that rips off better games for its few above average moments, frankensteined gameplay, and developers who rushed out the MP with as few gametypes and maps as they could get away with, not because of stocks

I think it’s still too early to pass final judgement, obviously they have lots of work to do going forward in future patches.

As a person in the financial industry, I’ll just say no. Microsoft is much more than halo. Markets are in an interesting period at the moment and it is 3rd quarter earnings season, which was a generally rough quarter for most companies.

Bottom line, the chances that a drop is because of halo is just about zero.

I know nothing about stocks. However, a quick google search gave me this. If you notice the “Close/Last” (I’m assuming that is the most noteworthy piece of information at the end of the day) it was on a steady decline, but bumped up and slowly went down again. How can you gather 343 or Halo is even related to these numbers?
Since Im a total noob, I want to understand and analyze how you came to this decision. Please break it down for me. Take me to school, slow blink.

My source for now, based on a quick google search - http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/msft/historical (Stock Period between July 28 - Oct 28)

The Average between 10/19 - 10/28 is 50.66

10/19/2015 47.51
10/20/2015 47.77
10/21/2015 47.2
10/22/2015 48.03
10/23/2015 52.87
10/26/2015 54.25
10/27/2015 53.69

All you have to do is look at Microsofts Stock quote. On Monday the stock jumped because of a shift to the electronic subsidaries away from software probably due to low pre-order figure expectations… This is a common practice to inhibit a large fall in price to keep volume. When Halo 5 was released, the next morning it did go up…but it dropped right back off to the “New High”. That means there is little to nothing on profit side for share holders. If it continues to stay even with or lower than the bar set on Monday, that means they are not making money, just shifting it from one section of the company to the other to keep the volume and price because of investment failures.
When you see red numbers as a constant on the quote, money is being lost. It has a constant red off of the “New High”.
I hope you understand what I am trying to explain.
Anyway, I am more interested in the gameplay. I appreciate you guys and your opinions/views/comments.

If you can’t afford 60 bucks, or even, 2.15 at redbox, then why worry about the stock price?

I do understand folks like to troll and propose really inanne reasons to not get the game, but if you don’t like halo don’t get it.

It’s got no split screen.

BTB isn’t out till later this year, along with the forge.

You can buy reqs, or earn points and buy them with your earned points.

You can only choose armor, not choose legs/arms/shoulders.

You need an xbox one.

False. Microsoft is a huge entity spanning consoles, phones, computers, software, and hardware alike. Halo is probably a very very small fraction of the overall revenue.
