I think that is sad to see I was hoping it wouldve been supported with new content for at least a year but June 2016?
Come on 343 we a years away from Halo 6…
Hopefully you have something super secret you’re announcing in June which I believe is the E3 month right?..
I’m hoping they announce a major expansion or Halo 3 anniversary
That’s not necessarily what it means.

I sure hope not.
What in gods name are you talking about?

What else could it mean?
It says monthly support until june 2016…that date is too coincidental…Something Halo related is being announced at E3

In the December update trailer it says new content monthly then in fine print until june 2016

It’s a guarantee that there will be content up to that point. Not that there will be none after.
Whether or not i’m okay with this depends on the reqs, maps and content delivered over the next 6 months. So far I can’t really say how this will shape up…but I hope they support this game fully until the next Halo is released. I don’t want this to turn into COD where the game has a 1 year lifespan and dies out, for that franchise its one thing because they release a new COD the same time every year.
It may mean they release monthly content until June 2016 and after that it’s less frequent?
It could be paid dlc after that point…
I think there will be more content after that. Although I hope the maps remain free.
Frankie address this issue a while back on Neogaf… The June 16th date is pretty much there for legal reasons. They will likely continue passed that date, but they needed a place holder in order to market this aspect of their business model.

No. The point of the free DLC is so that the player base isn’t broken up by DLC barriers. When the player base gets broken up by content, the newer content doesn’t get used as much and the game does out. That’s why they made it free.

See Halo 3-4 and everything in-between for an example

Im sure it just means montly updates.
Im pretty sure it means they will leave it to die like they did MCC and Halo4. At that point they will have moved on making the next cash cow while further diluting the halo franchise.

Or it’s like what TruP1aya4Rea1 and XeroSum said.

Thread over. It’s a placeholder.
I think we are being very naïve if we think there wont be a Halo title released annually. We already know next year HW2 drops. I think at some point considering a 3yr dev cycle the remainder of the team currently focusing on dlc will need to move on to H6 or another project. I think 8 consecutive months of dlc is pretty generous tbh.
