I was thinking about this for a bit.

What if Halo 5 comes out, the multiplayer isn't fun and the playerbase drops out super fast, and paid reviews don't save it an gamers don't like the game.

would that kill the xbox brand or just the halo brand or neither?

also I can tell what i don't like more windows 8 or xbox weak hardware and gimmicks like kinect

i honestly don't what i hate more the OS or the hardware and the crap with it

and i heard windows 10 is gonna be cool and all but what if also has tablet type stuff again like windows 8 and we hate it again too,

now microsoft is trying to get rid of the xbox brand and they took away xbox music and xbox video and are renaming those things because of what the xb1 did to public perception

if the xb1 was well recieved like the ps4 they would have kept those names for windows 8/10 like playstation store is doing

so i dunno which product is worse right now honestly

i honestly just dunno that company makes money , they buy up companies and make them worse, and then fire people from them how is it still making money

i guess they should just be a lawyer company and sue people with patents and just stop making things cuz they dont make anything good nemore

i don't agree. I thought it was an amazing campaign overall.

Anyway, Halo 5 Guardians won't flop. They will market and advertise and hype this game to the stratoshpere

Halo 5 will do fine. The Beta was awesome and Xbox One is as strong as ever. [Not counting the sales mind you]

It would be a huge kick in the nuts for Microsoft and 343i if it flops.

But I don't think it will.

I have enjoyed every Halo, yes even 4, I don't see what is so wrong about it. I am a single player gamer so I just want Halo 5 for the story, and since it's Halo I can tell it will be a good single player experience. People that hate on win8 are dicks, install one application that takes the user 1 minute and you can have the same experience as win7 but better, faster speeds, lower resources. Microsoft is not going to die, they own 90% of the OS market. Keep praying for it though, it's good to have something to hope towards I suppose.

@ProtossX: Halo will never flop and Microsoft still have Quantum Break and Gears of War to keep Xbox market alive but I gotta say without these games they're officially done

Wait, according to some here, and I think I've seen you say so yourself, it's already dead so ya know, no worries. :P

Anyhoo, according to GS MCC flopped, 6.0 ( dipshits an 8.0 would of been more appropriate ) but I and millions of others consider MCC as the best bang for the buck compilation to ever come down the pipe so, just sayin.

Halo 5 will do fine. Just like Halo 4. Which by the way was a good game. The multiplayer was good and the single player story is really interesting. So I'm excited to see where the story goes next in Halo 5.

I really don't see it flopping in sales. The advertising/marketing side of Microsoft will prop it up to the sky and back.

Also, look at MCC. Even with all the documented problems, it still received good scores from many other major publications.

343 already has Microsoft breathing down their neck, in fact it seems they sacrificed MCC to the wolves in order to focus on Halo 5. Between the beta nearly a year before release and fact that 343 is actually listening to Halo's fanbase. No way it's going to get below an 85 on Metacritic. Although it'll be considered a flop here if it gets below a 9 or a 90 on MC. 9 here, 85-95 on MC

I think people are missing the point of this thread. It wasn't "Will Halo 5 flop", it was "What IF Halo 5 flops?"

Are you guys seriously unable to play hypotheticals?

343 is putting the effort into ditching the load outs and armor abilities and going back to arena based MP, if Halo 5's MP population drops like Halo 4 did then I think that's going to be it for arena shooters, at least on consoles.

If that's the case when Halo 6 comes out (and yes it'll come out regardless of how well Halo 5 does) they may want to consider a class based MP ala Team Fortress 2 or PvZ Garden Warfare since they already tried to load out CODish shtick and it didn't work.

If Halo loses its thunder as a franchise, it will start a death spiral. How slow and painful that spiral will be depends on how much MS wants to keep making Xbox regardless.

So you haven't enjoyed a Halo game in a while, yet you are here thinking about Halo and writing about Halo a half a year before Halo 5's release.

I think it's going to be ok.

ODST has a universally praised campaign so not even sure what this means. It being an overcharged expansion pack with barely any other content usually doesn't affect review scores in games for reasons.

@Shewgenja Didn't you say it's already on it's death spiral with tons of support about to be pulled by 3rd party devs? Hasn't that been your argument because it's sales aren't as high as the PS4s?

Now you're saying if H5 fails? Come on super cow, get your story straight.

It also had an amazing co op mode (firefight) that's only flaw was lacking match making, ODST Firefight was some of the best multiplayer fun I've had in any game.

343 studios MCC didn't have online co-op

The co op was the only thing I enjoyed. The campaign was boring to me. Solid 8 in my book. But it's not about what I think, it's about what GS thinks. Halo Campaigns are usually pretty good and multiplayer, excpet for MCC, have been rock solid at release. So I don't expect it to flop.

the halo 5 beta had the same matchmaking issues as 343 studios MCC

i know i used it and getting into games felt a lot similar to MCC's, it didn't feel quick, it didn't feel polished, even in game there was some lag an stuff, teams were uneven

this is the worst kinda online service and i think par for the course for 343 i don't think the online gaming company like bungie is

i just don't see it, when you see the same crap halo 4 / halo mcc / halo 5 beta it feels the multiplayer is not fully polished its not a game ppl are gonna play for life its it raelly worrying matchmaking, rankings, balance...this game is not multiplayer focused it seems

No, not really. I suspect if Halo 5 flops, Halo itself might be dead though.

I'm one of the few people that don't give a damn about Halo haha.. I'm not that knowledgeable on X-Box One Exclusive games because I own Ps4 and WiiU instead. From the title of this thread I'm guessing they don't have a good number of AAA exclusives releasing for the system for the rest of the year, but then again you could say the same for Ps4 unless we get some surprise annoncements at E3

Sales wise, I think Halo 5 will sell well regardless if it sucks/flops or not because it's Xbox's #1 most popular exclusive.

Gameplay wise, I don't like how they're ripping off ideas from COD though. I don't think that's the right direction to take if they want to bring their Halo franchise back to the legendary status it used to be with Bungie.
