I don’t mean this to be a negative towards the recent update. I love Darkstar, it is a good Warzone map to me, but to theorize about the next update we are having drop in may. Let my lay down what I have figured out. I will put things in link in case people were wondering where I am getting my information from.
This is what was dropped in each of of the updates(rough outline of course) we have had in the halo 5. there is a pattern in there. Up to GoM, we have a had 48+ REQs and something else that was big to some extent. But for Ghost, we had 11 less REQs and nothing major. What if they made GoM small for a reason because something big was happening later? They know a lot of people are Amped up for Memories of Reach update, you could look on the forums to find that out after the Ghost livestream. Which makes sense on why Brovo said the next update is going to be in May, I mean he could be over estimating, but if it was going to be the same size or small as the other ones, would it not released in the monthly basis even if it was behind? This make me think that we are getting some good stuff in MoR. I have this feeling with recent information we have gotten as well from 343 shines light on this too. They are vague I know but with the information like: Unyshek comment on MoR, tweet from tom French about Forge World, JoshingtonState comment on lack of UNSC Air Vehicles in Halo 5, and also with the Beta of Warzone firefight I have a feeling if everything goes will during it, we can see it drop in HoR too. This just makes me think that we are going to have something big happen in MoR with how small it seemed GoM is.
What do you guys think? Does this make sense or am I a little crazy that all of these are somehow linked together?
Your not crazy to think that, but i can sense a bit of wishful thinking in your analysis, but that doesn’t make it wrong. But you have to realize that this update gave us two original maps, compared to others that gave us only 1 or 2 but they were spin-offs for the most part. Also you have to consider that the Halo World Championships also affected their production time, even if they delayed it, they still had less hands to work on it. But the evidence that you provided does show/hint to the possible re-introduction of forgeworld to halo 5 and i think that memories of reach would be the right time to do so(honestly it’s kinda now or never). I’m expecting big things for MoR, but how much will actually make it, we have to wait and find out!

Its going to be huge no mater what else drops. We know infection is coming. That is something people have been asking for some time now, but I feel like there is more then that cooking over at the studio

In… Invasion? Dare I dream a dream meant solely for fools?
Cartographer Gift had 14 more reqs than GoM while also having forge (which is HUGE), and more BtB forge maps. It also matched GoM’s map count, with one warzone map and one arena map. I’d like to think that Cartographers gift was a “big” update, so if you think MoR will be “big” as well, we should expect a similar amount of content. Since Forge is so huge, id wager something big needs to match it. Im presuming this is the combination of Infection and Forge World coming. In addition, forge world’s addition might take the place of the Warzone map in CG, as i doubt the next warzone map is coming in this update. The new arena map is the torque remix, and to match the Btb forge maps i believe they will add forge remakes of classic reach maps to matchmaking. Now all that leaves is the Reqs, and since there are no more prexisting weapons without varients (besides the phaeton), i believe all weapon/vehicle reqs will be new to the sandbox. Im expecting either 2 or 3 new weapons/vehicles with each having varients. Also, i assume that the Plasma Rifle will be one of these new weapons, as we saw it in the WZFF trailer. However, if this isn’t a “big” update, there probably won’t be this much content but we can hope.
There were also several more skins that came out just BEFORE GoM in those limited time req packs. Those were probably part of the GoM update originally before they branched them off. And the UI update to make the in game req system a little faster. I’d love for the Reach update to be huge too, but I’m skeptical

The sharktooth grin was one that we saw in the Reveal of GoM. but instead of getting that, we got Blue steal which I am not happy nor mad about it. I can feel your skepticism but I just have a feeling. Forge was delayed and it was great. Now we are looking at a May update for MoR and I can just think it might be the same thing
It’s going to be smaller than you think, no matter what. But we already know Infection, Noble Team armor sets and a Torque remix. Which is something.
Now if we’ll ever get Forge World and a UNSC aircraft (both of which have been hinted at a couple of times), it’ll pretty much have to be in the Reach update, and there are also Oddball and Ricochet which are basically in the game.

Why do you say it is going to be smaller? Most of the updates have had some very good stuff drop because of it outside of REQs. I just don’t see it being smaller since GoM was small
