So obviously its not at E3 this year and I am sure I read they said there would not be anything at Gamescon in August of this year.
Is there any other big games event they could announce the game or drop some sort of trailer between now and next years E3?
I can’t see the game coming out later than 2018 (3 years is a long time in itself; let alone 4), but I’d be surprised if there was nothing until E3 of 2018. I am sure for Halo 5 they started dropping small trailers and developer stuff about a year in advance. By small trailers I mean, you know, the “stary night” type stuff where we get some vague cinematic telling us that Halo has an awesome campaign. Then its only in the E3 immediately preceding the games release (2018) that we get actually gameplay stuff.
Perhaps with how big a backlash there was over Halo 5 marketing they are reluctant to have another big ad campaign focused marketing campaign and are instead going to focus much more on the gameplay and multiplayer side of things closer to release? Even small stuff like the Chief in the desert trailer; got quite a bit of flack. So perhaps they want all of this stuff to be far in development and set in stone before it gets shown?
