The Big Goodbye to H5 at end of 2020 / early 2021.

Since H6 will blast on the scenes in late 2020 and the Multi-player maybe 2021, then
why not give it a huge send off until then?
Why can’t they offer Gold XP Warzone and Arena boosts every week until then?
Also, how about a Double XP weekend every Weekend until then?
Lets crank up the celebration every week until then? Party on out grand style.
H5 has been a blast, it deserves a big send off.

It deserves a big going away party every week until then.

Yeah, I wish!

Too long of a party. I’m sure we will see Halo 5 boosts to send it off happily, but 343 isn’t going to start that now because after awhile it will get stale.

True, I already starting saving for the new Xbox (Xbox One X times 1000) and trying to sell the old one(s). Getting ready to start this thing all over again…SR 1 in H6…
Now that should be fun. Guessing early 2021 now. Well here’s for hoping for better servers…etc…and goodbye to a great time in H5…

Yeh they need to bring back the double exp weekends for every playlist. I’m literally just slightly over a million to get to max rank so every little helps since sick of the spawn camping in Warzone Assault making it impossible to play. Sooner I get the max rank…the sooner I can get back to playing MCC, hopefully Reach soon. Plus I hate Halo 5 so adding more exp means I can get back to playing Halo games that I enjoy since H5 is too stressful. Also looking forward to Infinite, just hope it’s as fun as classic Halo.

I’m sure they’ll do something like this but probably much closer to Infinite launch.

Couple things:

  • There is nothing suggesting that Halo Infinite’s multiplayer will launch after the rest of the game. Everything points to the multiplayer being available at launch. - There is no need for a big sendoff. It’s not like Halo 5 will be going anywhere. No Halo game has ever shut down the previous game’s multiplayer upon release of the new one. In fact, previous Halo games are still played to this day, despite newer entries being available. People will probably still play H5 even after Halo Infinite launches. Many will move on to the next game, for sure, but some will stay behind as has always been the case.

Cause there will still be people playing H5 after Infinite comes out.

Hmmmm sounds like a ploy for an easier road to sr152 :slightly_smiling_face:

WE JUST STARTED PLAYING H5 AGAIN THIS PAST WEEK. FORGOT HOW MUCH FUN IT WAS. YES, THEY NEED TO GIVE IT A BIG SEND OFF!

At most, all gamemodes should become available in H5 by the time Infinite drops.

How about Warzone Turbo Every weekend!

At this point…I’d take that over Warzone Assault anyday since that mode is full of people cheating by spawn camping while Turbo usually is a lot more fun, less stressful since can sit back, pick people off due to spawn camping being less common in Turbo compared to Assault.

Ok, the E3 reviews etc made it sound like the multiplayer was coming out later and that it would only run on Scarlet. Thankfully MS cleared that later one up immediately and hearing about the multiplayer is a relief we won’t have to wait and that H5 won’t just die off the way of the dinosaurs. Ok, true I was just hoping for a sendoff / we’re now H6 focused now sorta thing and true some will decide to take a pass and stay back until later when curiosity gets the better of them. It would be nice though to be teased with a little multiplayer clip to whet our appetites until launch…

One thing is guaranteed, WZ FF will be around regardless for a long time. That’s one map that’s filled no matter the day or hour. Infection is another one of those as well.

Sort of but not always true. I’ve been in games where I’ve seen no population in the playlists…depending on times, I suspect when Infinite comes out that it’ll be harder to find games, I’m pretty close to 152 so I think I’d be ditching h5 as soon as I can since I find the game too stressful for a Halo game, generally don’t enjoy playing h5. I’d say the same about WZFF but I’ve seen people in these forums that have played nothing but WZFF so maybe stay strong for a while but personally for me I find the mode a bit repetitive after a while plus it’s not challenging but more frustrating sometimes due to the way the mode is handled.

Great point. I’m close to 152 as well, there’s a window of time to get there by H6 still as small as it is. Then comes the big H6 reset back to SR 1 all over again. Hoping for new modes / maps in H6 multiplayer to change things up. Yes, WZ FF is very repetitive, but the easiest way to gain XP outside of Infection. I use to be a daily H5 grinder, now turned into a weekend warrior from time to time. Probably will stay that way even with H6 jumping from map to map here and there.

Sure but hoping they ditch the whole sr rank for Halo 6 since prefer the Inheritor style rank system from Halo Reach. 152 kind of felt kind of meaningless for a name while Inheritor felt more meaningful. Hoping to hit the 1 million marker by end of this week then try to get the last million done by next weekend hopefully. Been doing a mix of daily and weekend grinds but get fatigued with playing too much. Plus people seem to cheat often in games like WZ:A so it get’s frustrating to play. Just been trying to find to minimise the amount of stress this game makes me feel.

That’s why I play WZ FF mostly and sometimes Infection. Both to me are not as engaged as the other modes making it an easier play. I’ve got a longer way to go than you but figure to be there by H6 launch.

Depends on much free time you have. I think in theory you could get max rank in a couple of months. Though I keep putting it off since don’t like the game. I’ve had a habit of uninstalling due to frustration with the game, left it previously for about 6 months so probably could have been max rank by now, think I may be done with the game when I hit max rank so I can take a break from Halo then get back into MCC since just want to play a fun Halo game that doesn’t stress me out.
