Poll Will you buy Halo 5 this October? (97 votes)

Yes 53%
No 47%

(If you're interested in Halo that is.)

Halo MCC had given a bad taste in peoples motuh and for the hardcore halo gamers Halo 4 was added to that buy a allegedly weak multiplayer with a retcon SP campaign. Also pre-orders up for hundreds of dollars of limited editions for months without us knowing the contents annoyed a few people.

With that said will you buy Halo 5 in October? It will also have a bundle.

Missing out on the biggest game this year will be hard as I only have PS4 at the moment, I was hoping Sony would announce Resistance 4 at E3 for the Holidays

I'm not really interested in Until Dawn

Wait, did Konami cancel MGS V on PS4?

Fallout 4 isn't coming to PS4, either?

Since the Collector's Edition doesn't come with an actual disk and there's no splitscreen MP, I canceled my preorder.

you dont own an xbox and have to sneak around other peoples houses at night trying to play MCC . so you are a liar.

You should go see a doctor and have your funny bone checked. It may be broken.

Probably, but thinking on waiting to buy after launch. MCC still has my confidence shaken a bit.

Halo is a series that is not worth $60 day one. Fooled me twice but never again.

I fully intended to buy a XBone + Halo 5 Bundle in November up until about a month ago. Then they said (and confirmed the other day) that there will be no split-screen at all. So now I'm spending my money on a new GPU and a SteamLink to throw my games up on my big screen. If I can't play split-screen with my friends in my living room then what is the point? There are dozens of shooters that I can play on my PC that are internet-only matchmaking.

Maybe it's a sigh that Halo 5 will come to PC.

Of course, the mode in the beta where you only had one life was sooooo fun.

Yes.

In spite of how Halo 4 turned out mp wise and how much of a hot mess MCC still is, I liked the Halo 5 beta and some of the ideas they are going for. Plus I've given up on the idea Halo will ever be as enjoyable as Halo 2, and I'm more than fine playing a good game. So Halo 5's mp should get a decent amount of playtime out of me.

I'm not too hyped for Battlefront, I have next to no interest in Rainbow Six this year, and I like to avoid playing Call of Duty, so Halo 5 covers the playing with my friends game.

Doubt it.

I'll likely rent it. I don't trust 343 at all. Also, if it doesn't have Team Doubles and Team Swat at launch then they can go suck a lemon.

I've had them Limited Collector's Edition pre ordered for about 4 months, so most definitely yes.

Yes

2 words: Republic Commando, greatest Star Wars game ever IMO, and Tim Longo who was the lead for that game is the creative director for Halo 5, I'm waaaay more excited for the campaign than the MP although Warzone looks hype as shit too

As of now, no. I'm not a fan of where 343 went with the series with 4 and I didn't like the way the halo 5 beta played at all. The e3 presentation didn't really sell me on it either. Maybe someday if I hear enough good about it though.

You should do one for Forza 6, If I had an X1 I'd buy that. I was really hoping Sony would announce GT7 for the Holidays on PS4

forza is the reason i bought an X1 day one. FH2 was epic and i'm still playing the storm island expansion right now

Unless it for whatever reason gets slammed by critics, I'll be buying it near launch. The beta was great, and warzone looks like too much fun.

Last Halo game I played was Reach.

I never bothered with Halo 4 after Bungie left. I probably won't buy Halo 5 until it's quite cheap, if at all. I would want to play Halo 4 first if I did.

yes, I have an Xbox One, so yeah it'd be a waste of an Xbox One not to, I mean I would even if I wasn't excited out of obligation for being there for the rest of the series which I've thoroughly enjoyed, but I'm actually genuinely excited after playing through the Halo MCC, and from the brief bits we saw at E3 (even if the game had an unremarkable presentation) it looks to be shaping up good, I just hope it has a solid campaign as I'm not big on Halo MP

Yes although I doubt the PS4 fanbase will be excited as they'd rather have a linear corridor shooter riddled with bad AI, QTE and scripted events, like Uncharted or The Order

When I see it on sale for $40 or less. I'm on the fence as I'm not terribly impressed with 343's work so far. They are competent, but they haven't blown me away. That said, this game could finally be the game that changes my mind, but I'm not spending $60 to find out after being burned by them.

As people know, I follow developers more than franchises or brands, and right now 343 hasn't blown me away to get a full $60 after my last two acquisitions of their games (Halo 4 and Halo MCC). I also have a similar fear for instance with the upcoming MGS games after MGS5: Phantom is released. I'm not automatically going to be in favor of a non-Kojima MGS6, but like 343, I will give that new developer a shot with his/her first try. 343 let me down twice with Halo 4 and then Halo MasterChief Collection. Then after playing a CODified feeling Halo 5 Beta, I'm just not completely sold on the direction this developer is taking the Halo brand.

I also am disappointed that 343 has completely removed splitscreen gameplay from Halo which was a staple of the series. More graphics in lieu of splitscreen. No more LAN at my house, at least when it comes to Halo 5. M$ is making it hard for me to consider buying a second Xbone as Xbox to me represented some fun LAN experiences in the past two generations.

With a Halo LAN party/BBQ game party: It used to be 4 players per Xbox at my house with a total of four Xboxes and 16 people total. Each Xbox represented four gamers on a team. If there were less people, we did Three Xboxes and 12 players. Either way, the splitscreen was awesome, not just for LAN, but also for the Single Player campaign with a friend or family member. You could even go online splitscreen with a friend and that was fun as well. It's just all gone with Halo 5, which is odd since the Xbone is more powerful. That tells me new developer 343 has other priorities.

Nah. I haven't bought a Halo game since Halo 2 and I haven't played one ODST. Just had my fill of those games.

That said, I'm probably not buying any games in October. I imagine I'll be dicking around MGSV from September though the rest of the year.
