Will Halo 5 hit a 90+ on Metacritic?

Halo 4 was the first main Halo title to not hit a 90+ on metacritic, the obvious reason would be Halo's new developer since Bungie left, some have made the claim that 343 was simply getting their feet wet with the franchise, but seem to be listening to community feedback and making all of the right decisions, will 343 bring Halo back to AAA status or will Halo from now on be a respectable AA series?

Personally I'm not one for review scores since I've played plenty of games that scored in the 80's, 70's, and even 60's, that I enjoyed more than games that scored in the 90's, but for the sake of the SW dick waving contest I think that Halo 5 NEEDS to be an AAA game.

Or, do you even care? Will the number detract from you enjoying the game?

I expect it'll sit in the mid-high 80's... Unless they really nail it (which kinda looks promising), in which they could hit the low-mid 90's.

Honestly, Warzone is looking dope as shit.

I'm guessing 92

No.

Depends how much Doritos and mountain dew they have at the review event

Yes. 343 learn from the past mistakes with the franchise.

nah

86

BLOPS 3 is getting all of the Dorito and Mountain Dew goodness this year

10/10 thread,would read again

@rektpl1: That just proves how irrelevant Halo is becoming.

Let's hope the Xbone can finally join the Wii U and PS4 with a 90+ MC game this gen. They'll be waiting awhile if Halo 5 doesn't accomplish it.

But MGV is 95 and Destiny: Taken King at 90.

So it does have 2 90+ MC games

Multiplats don't count.

This is my alt account

lol dat backpedaling

With current hype and all that it's easy. but in the spirit of the SW and all that I'll say between 87 and 89. Highest will be 90. Overall I think it will be a better game than Halo 4.

I don't really care but if you are aksing for a guess i'd say 85 on MC

most critics don't score high for skill based games. especially multiplayer ones too. The higher scoring games are the lone SP games because story/graphics most of the time

Why not? You didn't say exclusives, you just said games and now you're back tracking

Thought it was pretty obvious I was talking about exclusives from the start and that I don't need to spell everything out, but apparently I do. So when is the Xbone getting that 90+ MC exclusive that the Wii U and PS4 have had for awhile?

Some where between 87 and 91, but it will most likely be like Halo 4, no one will care about it 4 days after launch.

I know you are new here, but multiplats dont count... EVER!

And dont fall for the "console exclusive" bs either.

They're doing ALOT to make sure the player base doesn't die out shortly like 4 did including

-Catering to hardcore (arena) and casuals (Warzone)

-Giving free DLC

BLOPS 3 will of probably be the more popular games but it wouldn't surprise me when people go back or Halo 5 or stick with it when they dread at having to pay 50$ for a f*cking season pass, same with Star Wars Battlefail

All the cows over at GAF will hop onto their fake gaming sites and rate halo 5 low as shit, so no chance.

no, if need be someone at MetaCrtiic will site somebody's Estonian Blogspot review blog in the meta-total, who will give it 30/100 for lack of Estonian online support or something like that, citing how extra ridiculous it is that nobody would have high speed internet without their Erbium mining being essential in fiber-optics to prevent signal degradation

I doubt it. Higher than 85 but lower than 90

No, I don't care. And no it wont be 90+ on Metacritic

Unless the scores are "dynamic", i'd be surprised if it scored over "81"

Right, have fun with those glorious 20 fps cinematic games

@rektpl1: have fun playing in 720-810p jaggied mess with games dropping below 20fps. next generation is here, except its MIA on the MS front. Better luck next time.

and yet that jaggied mess will at least be playable unlike the slide show games you're use to, PS4 delivering games 1 frame at a time.

@rektpl1: its so damn messy on Xbone god dammit. After seeing Battlefront gameplay pics, posted here on SW, i got eye herpes. Its incredible how underpowered that system is. Not surprising 343i couldn't do much with Halo 5.

I want to say it will have a 88, but reviewers tend to favor Sony games due to it being the cool thing atm.

hey the new blood borne dlc is coming out, for 20 bucks do you think sony and from software can throw in a few extra frames? would love for it to finally hit over 20 fps

To be perfectly honest, watching you two argue over whether the PS4 or Xbox One version of a game looks better is like arguing about whether a Ford Pinto or a minivan is better at drag racing. They're both weak systems that were destroyed by computers even at launch. The PS4 being slightly more powerful hardly helps. Who cares if you can play it at 720p or 900p when it's possible to play at 1440p or above on a computer? You're fighting over scraps...

^What he said.

No offense to anyone, but I don't give a single shit about scores.

@Bigboi500: now that's gangsta

@Bruin1986: meh im maxing everything in 1080p on my pc and i still argue cuz its fun hah

I'm betting on 85.

You'd lose that bet.

What's with these low predictions? I thought people had more faith in Halo 5 than that. This is disrespectful. I'm betting on 92.

343 is the new Halo team and they would love a 90+ at metacritic. Hell, various members of the 343 went on record saying that was their goal for Halo 4 quite a few times.

They squashed their chance with Halo MCC, so I'm betting they put all their eggs in the basket for this one. The question is do they have the talent? They haven't proven they do, but maybe third times a charm.

It will definitely be a 85+ game for sure. Their last two games were 85/100 and 87/100.

And lets be real that 85 for MCC deserves an asterisk, so many of those reviews were done at review events that didn't take the online into account. Jeff Gerstmann put em all on blast on twitter for it too.

This thread reminded me, where is the official Halo hype thread? It comes out this month....

@intotheminx: Halo is less popular than the Souls games nowdays. Its been dethroned by a "niche" series. RIP

Funny how an 85 on metacritic, 6 out of 10 here broken old game collection still managed to outsell it 2.5+ to 1...

Bu..bu..bu......bu...but...

Halo 5

91/100
