I just saw that they added a new season or something to MCC and I was just thinking of the absurdity of the grind in Halo 5 and they don’t add new content or anything like that to keep us hooked. What about double xp weekends or anything to make it less gruelling? It’s the meme of the mom letting the kid drown all over…
No future plans for Halo 5
No never
As it is, H5 will be 343’s forgotten child.

No, mistake; it was already forgotten a long time ago
Kind of embarrassing for 343, but yes, Halo 5 is the game at the studio no one wants anything to do with. I’d like to think there’s a good reason behind it, because I like the game. I think the story behind the campaign was a little hokey… but the visuals were cool and I like (mostly) what they did with the MP. They don’t necessarily need to “update” the game, or come up with new content. I’d be completely fine if they just fixed what was broken with this game. Spawn points are awful at times, matchmaking leaves a lot to be desired. There’s a lot they could just update and fix… without taking a lot of time or being a major update, but they won’t. They’d rather this game just disappear and die in a dark alley. And that’s ashame… I really do enjoy it (for the most past). But no… Halo 5 won’t ever better getting an update, and don’t get me started on the double xp thing, there’s already plenty of posts out there on that.
Halo 5 had its time and plenty of updates.
MCC launched in a much sorrier state, so 343 made a point of fixing it. Its release for PC probably gave them further incentive to work on it. Even then, its additions are largely just recolours or stuff ported from Halo Online.
I love Halo 5 and there is still player who like it. The gameplay and the new mechanic movement was incredible. Of course, the campaign was bad, but the most important is the multiplayer.
For now, 343 focus on Halo Infinite, so there is nothing to hope before it. It would be very sad if they totally give up H5.
Maybe H5 could relive if it come on PC or in Halo MCC one day, but we’re far from it

It would really be a good idea to put Halo 5 in MCC, but it should have been done a long time ago, but the problem is that Halo 5 weighs a lot and would make the game heavier in terms of storage.

I don’t know about storage, but I find logical to have a game with every old Halo and a game for the last Halo. For now, Halo 5 is the most recent Halo. When Halo Infinite will be released (and fonctionnal) , H5 should arrive on MCC.

HAHAHA the spawns are a definite L on H5’s part. And I’m not surprised people talk about double XP weekends. I’ve been playing since beta and I still need some 800 million xp to reach max rank when I get 8k a match… I’m sorry, what? I guess I just wish I got SOMETHING in HaloFortniteBattleRoyaleWarzoneCallofDutyBuzzfeed for the amount of time I’ve spent in H5 even though I wasn’t grinding for a stupid emblem. Whatever I’m just a salty Halo player, none of us are happy with the state of things haha.

Double xp weekends are one thing (they’re already doing that). Wanting 343 to completely up end the xp tables to satisfy the “handful” (and no I don’t mean a literal handful) who are asking for (in some case 4x and 5x xp) will greatly degrade the community. To date, there are about 3.2 to 3.4k 152s… I myself… made it to 150 (almost 151) in about 9 months. It’s completely doable, I’m expecting to reach 152 in about mid august. Halo 5’s numbers are better than Reach’s numbers were. Having a really great match in Reach got me 3400 cR, oh and by the way I needed 20 million. In Halo 5… yea… I need 50 million this time (boooooo)… but I can play a mythic firefight and get anywhere from 12-15k depending on how far we get and how well I do. Oh, and let’s not forget boosts… throw a blue boost on that mythic firefight, and get 17-22k. That’s how I end up getting anywhere from 800k to 1.2m per week since I started. It’s all in how you play. I would never expect someone to play just for a reward, you have to enjoy the game… and with all of it’s flaws, and my pleas going unanswered to fix them, and even with my frustrations with this game sometimes… I still love this stupid game!!!

It really urks me that you get nothing for paying previous titles achievements. Having the only thing that matters be your xp level is stupid, they definitely should get a reward for it just not have that be the only thing.

no way,they did bunch of updates they seem to mess up some of the fixes they updated in previous updates
How is it “forgotten” if it’s still talked about in Waypoint updates?

That is definitely the case as of now, but I am very curious if it will get any returned love post Infinite, but I doubt it and honestly at the point I will be looking more towards that future than backwards at Guardians. H5 was my least favorite so I can live without it and frankly will also be doing my best to forget about this whole installment, but I hate to be selfish with my Halo so for those who still really want to play H5 it would be nice if it finally got the set of tweaks it has honestly deserved since launch.
Fixing spawns, allowing preset loadouts at certain levels, allowing bulk sell reqs, some new maps/playlists, and about a billion other QoL improvements have been sorely needed since release and most of these I cant imagine talking all that much time/resources away from the other Halos

But that’s exactly my point, you don’t want to play for a reward yet to reach max rank you practically need to exploit modes like WZ firefight. If you have a decently busy schedule and play like arena or regular WZ or even play with a spartan company regularly you won’t get there. Idk I think the level cap is ridiculous but this is the only multiplayer game I’ve been interested in completing so I don’t have much of a comparison. Honestly the game is fine and clearly I like it more than any other game to be playing it so much, I just wish at bare minimum they didn’t forget about us who’ve been here since beta y’know?

Yeah, I find it ironic that they said you should play for the fun of the game, but in the same breath mention that you should grind Mythic FF if you want XP.
Even at something ridiculous like 4x XP on a permanent basis, the amount of 152 players probably won’t even pass 7 thousand, there simply isn’t enough interest in the game. Most people don’t even want that, they just want the XP payouts in arena to be somewhat proportionate to Mythic WZ FF.
I don’t expect 343 will do anything though. I have actually given up hope that they are even going to return the XP packs to the store before I hit 152.

So in comparison, to reach max rank in Halo Reach, you needed 20 million cR… for perspective, but payout i was a getting was maybe 3-4k per multiplayer match (i think payout was even less for completing campaign missions). They came out with daily/weekly challenges, but still, dailies (at best) were 7k and the weekly was 77k… so in that respect, halo 5 is a little better. Just that i also agree with you, it would have been nice to get something a little better than a silly emblem for my efforts. I know I’ll get stuff in Infinite as well… but it would have been nice to get a complete 152 set of customization… armor, weapon skins and emblems, the whole kit… but thats a lost cause…

I agree!! Before they try to fix any of the million other things wrong with this game, they should totally start by fixing the xp tables. It’s completely lopsided in favor of warzone/firefight, then they complain about low population in arena… well duh!!
As far as xp packs go, not totally sure how far away you are… buuut… the xp packs are still out there (if you’re ok paying with real currency. And i fully expect them to be back before infinite releases, probably a month or two beforehand… not sure of it helps you at all… but hopefully it does…
