Will Halo 5: Guardians get a 120fps update for the next generation consoles?
This would be the only thing that would make we want to upgrade from my base Xbox One.
I’d love that to happen!
Consoles will auto upscale it to look nicer at least. But that frame rate update would be lovely.
Question is how many resources would it take to make it happen? For a game that’s on its last legs would it be worth trying to make an update like that if no one would play it months later anyway?

Hell no. Leave the disaster that was H5 in the dust.

The way I see it, it’s still one year until Halo:Infinite, some more updates on Halo 5 would be great.

Disaster? The campaign was god awful yes but the multiplayer was THE best new multiplayer experience this console generation.

I’ve got to agree with Con on this one.
Calling the game a disaster is a vast over exaggeration in my opinion.
The campaign may not have been the best thing in the world but it was still enjoyable to play regardless of the story being a bit convoluted and dull.
The multiplayer was and remains to be some of the tightest gameplay in FPS history. With free content drops regularly too it’s hard to say the game was a complete failure and justify it.
Haha that better happen!

Maybe before the Overtime update; I don’t know. I got it into it late, found a lot to dislike in it. Req system, etc.
It’s seriously lacking in Playlists now compared to the number of options still available on H3/H4/ HReach to this day. Quickplay was stupid in limiting the list to only 3 Maps; Motion Tracker range is way too short, turning CQB skirmishes into Spartan Charge spam-fests; it’s the worst move concept ever.
Should the game get an update to match the current tech that’s out there?? Sure… because as I’ve experienced with other iterations of Halo… people still play them. I was playing the OG Halo Reach just a few months ago and they’re still quite a few people doing the MP on there. Now a few other factors that come into play here… when will Infinite actually come out? If it’s late next year (November is what’s floating around) then they might. If it’s going to be spring (which is looking less and less likely as there’s been no mention anywhere), then they probably won’t even bother until they another anthology type game like they did with MCC. The other thing to consider is that currently, I suspect most of 343 is still working from home (hence the delay with Infinite) and I’m willing to be they don’t have the resources available to them working from home that they would if they were in the office, which would slow it down. So I suspect they’ll get to it at some point (as they’ve done all the other games)… I just don’t think it’ll be anytime soon, I think it’ll be done as part of another anthology of Halo games that they’ll re-release.
As a fun side note… Halo 5 being a disaster is a matter of opinion, and one I happen to respectfully disagree with. Did it annoy me when they did away with the split screen co-op? Absolutely!! Was the story line a little hokey and far fetched? Very! However… the graphics are utterly amazing and the multiplayer experience is by far the best I’ve experienced. So not even remotely would I call Halo 5 a disaster!! Is it my favorite Halo? No… that belongs to Reach… but Halo 5 is pretty close… as much as I’ve played it in the month and a half trying to get to 152… I still enjoy it!!
I would love to see a performance update. Probably won’t be checking it out myself, but the option would be nice. Unfortunately it seems that H5 support is probably 343’s lowest priority. The MCC is getting some pretty exciting updates, and if anything I would expect the MCC to receive a Series S/X patch first.

I think the only reason MCC is getting all the attention is because they’re bringing things to MCC that are already part of the other games. I think once they bring MCC up to where all the other games are, then they’ll switch gears back to 5. I don’t see MCC getting series X/S support before 5… I think what they’ll do is lump them all in one game (a massive anthology) specifically for the series X/S.

Oh boy, I can’t wait to get my hands on a 300gb Halo MCC
Honestly I wish they would, but 343 seems busy enough with Halo Infinite as we know. They’re pushing stuff with Gears 5, which I’m not interested in, and in Forza Horizon, so especially since Halo was delayed I do wish it got update. I do think a more likely candidate would be MCC, which is more popular than Halo 5 atm. But I’m not sure either would happen. I wish we got at least a MP beta at the launch of the X. I do think betas are important for feedback, and it would also give us some Halo to play at launch.

I haven’t kept track… but I’m sure if you added it all up from original installation to the current iteration, I suspect it’d be somewhere close to that already, then throw an upgraded Halo 5 on top of that. You might run into a storage issue, and I think I may have a solution for that (marketing department you listening?)… you don’t put the new anthology on a disc (too big, wouldn’t fit)… so how about… putting it on and selling it as a themed, massive, hard drive… last time I bought one (it was for my xbox one) it was only $80-$100. Now you make it 2-5TB to ensure you have room for updates and what not and BOOM!! Problem solved…

A Beta would be cool, or even give us what they have done already (either the campaign or the MP) would be cool, at least let us get our feet wet before the whole thing drops… I like the way you think!!! Or get us a Beta when you drop preorders for Infinite… so we can test drive Infinite with training wheels before the whole thing drops, and they could fix whatever bugs and short comings the game has before it ships (unlike the debacle of H5 and MCC when it came out)
MCC is getting attention bc of the PC releases. Now, what’s interesting is MS’ general company direction of play anywhere; XSX/S, XB1, PC, XCloud (+ Game Pass), Xbox Console Streaming (LAN to mobile). H5 is part of Xcloud & Game Pass… that may prompt updates if the population stays up as it aligns with their ecosystem push.
Even Halo 3 got XB1X enhancements. H5 XSX enhancements not out of the question. I think if H5 was already on PC, you’d just see if brought into MCC after H4… but that’s a stretch with Infinite push going on IMO.

I agree, while I’m not the best at arena I had fun with it.
mabye with ray tracing to?

I think we can definitely rule out a ray tracing update.

Sadly 
I think Halo 5 would looks so damn good with ray tracing. Sanghelios would look wild.

Absolutely, I think the art style would work really well with ray tracing, the potential with all the exotic materials in the covenant armour and aesthetic and the exotic materials on the human side would work REALLY well.
