Will there be Sprint?

[Riddler]

343 just needs to swallow their pride. Then halo 5 can be good

[Ninjafaces]

Will there be Sprint?

 

Will there be cake? This is the hard question that needs to be asked.

[Lux]

Let's start this off optimistic. Halo 5 has more potential to be great than any of the other sequels. 343 has proven that they're good at listening, which is not a trait I would associate with Bungie. If they do more listening than independent thinking, Halo 5 will work.

[Bill]

I hope the rumor is true. Having a great H2A to bring all the OG Halo players back and then build off of that success with a GREAT Halo 5 is exactly what the Halo community needs. 

[Avak]

Well I think we can live in the comfort of believing this will be better than what we currently have.

[Broskian]

I'm hoping the don't futher self-destruct but I don't have my hopes up cause at this point I'm just expecting more of the same bullshit we have been fed the last few years starting with reach

 

[Jay]

I know this is a terrible way to look at it, but it can't really get worse

Right o.o?

[publicbussystem]

So will the classic Coke return, or will 343 stick with the new Coke?

[Riddler]

I know this is a terrible way to look at it, but it can't really get worse

 

Right o.o?

they could always lower the base movement speed

make AA's last forever

Make every weapon have the same aiming mechanisms as the h4 beam rifle.

return reach's original bloom with h3's spread mechanic.

lower the jump height

lower strafe responsiveness

no option to disable radar

make radar 100m. It's 40/50m in h4 or something and like 15/25m in h3.

make vehicles have h2/h3's durability but have hr/h4's long range.

you can now get banshees in your personal ordinance

pull a titanfall and have no custom games.

no theater

 

 

it could get a lot worse...

The original coke had cocaine in it I believe, so no they won't be using old coke.

[Kreutz]

Judging by the OP initially, I thought we were going to have some new rumor information leak and not a hyperlink to a Beyond thread created in April.

Right o.o?

 

I'm cautiously optimistic about H5 but "it can't get any worse" is exactly how I felt after Halo Reach. 

[bluejay]

Is that cover art real?

 

As for halo 5 though I'm not too excited it'll be all that great, it may be wonderful on a general level but I doubt it'll be the halo we all knew and loved, hopefully 343i learn from their mistakes but even that I find unlikely on a larger level.

[Gaard]

If this open world shit is true then GG no re.

It is based off of this image from a Waypoint article from a few months ago

This is to cover the potential rumors and news in the coming month leading into E3.

[bluejay]

Link?

 

But yeah I (aswell as others) have sort of imagined a halo game that was RPG and I came to the conclusion that halo would surprisingly fit very well into the RPG genre, as for MP and the like I don't exactly know what the effects would be but SP wise it would be great if they were to go full on RPG.

[DrMassacre]

The possibility's of whats going to happen in the next month are endless, June 9th at 11:30 est Halo will be reborn but we don't know if its going to be good or evil.

99.999% chance this is nonsense.

As far as I know, the rumors originated here...http://pastebin.com/qW6LVdFx

Campaign is planned to be 3-5 times longer than Halo 4. No more linear , going open world.

 

 

Frankie's response...http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=67995921&postcount=256

Seems legit.

Predictions:

• Sprint is in all gametypes and playlists by default but toggleable for Custom Games ONLY.
• 11 Gametype Tournament Playlist at Launch
• Midship Remake
• Descope is back
• BTB upped to 10v10 or 12v12 but nothing over the top, same style of gameplay as older titles
• Mantis Returns
• Falcon is back, I guarantee it
• New Covenant Vehicle
• Promethean Vehicles; 1 or 2
• Sandtrap Remake pls
• Spectator Mode
• 4v4 Tourney for mid 2015 (or 2016 if H5 has been delayed for H2A)
• Extraction Returns
• Dominion Returns
• I'm convinced CTF will remain the same, only with Flag dropping added, with Classic Oddball returning or having toggleable options.
• League Play because Josh Menke, no 1-50's
• Campaign won't be open world, we're getting the same campaign as always, hopefully this time with less buttons to push.
• Spartan Ops I feel will get a second go-around, this time with longer Episode Cutscenes, but with less missions with a more involving story. The story won't be key for the next game's storyline, but it will be sustainable on its own. 343 should take a MASSIVE clue from the way Infinity Ward is handling the Extinction game mode. Prediction? 4 DLC packs, 3 Maps and Spartan Ops expansion in each pack. Each SpOps Episode has 3 new lengthy missions.
• Forge is buffed up slightly, brings back Reach features, Forge Island esque-maps at games launch
• I wouldn't be surprised if Theater mode is either gone or greatly improved
• New Engine
• Red X's at launch because why spill milk twice

Obviously not all revealed at E3, but I will quote this post when it all comes true later on. #CoachMayyne
