Halo 5 Launching without Forge: CONFIRMED :( December release

[DerNebel]

Huh? I heard that Halo 5s campaign was twice as long as Halo 4s... how freaking short was Halo 4s campaign?

Also there are more modes behind Warzone and the 4v4 Arena Multiplayer, right? Not just the two?

Good number of maps though.

Yeah stinkles(the community manager or something for Halo) said it was twice as long, but he plays to the fanboys. Has a habit of over embellishing/selling the game.

Just those two modes.

The maps are misleading I think. I haven't followed them specifically but apparently lots of the maps are just different versions of each other I guess? I poster on GAF did the math and got 12 maps as a more accurate number, and I didn't really see anyone disagree with him.



Since Halo is gold and since they made no mention, I'm pretty sure Theatre is also missing at launch   Day one this game is lacking so many freaking features that are standard for the franchise. Local splitscreen is probably gone to help push Halo as a service, but at least we have a chance of the other things being added.

Confirmed post launch:
FORGE
Big Team Battle
New Maps

Rumored missing at launch:
Theatre
Oddball
King of the Hill
Extraction
Infection
VIP
Headhunter
Juggernaut
Assault
Regicide
Grifball
Race

Stockpile

Confirmed missing:
Splitscreen
Local Matchmaking
Local co-op
LAN
Custom Emblems

Also the maps are only used in certain modes. All the 4vs4 maps are small. So it make it even less impressive.

Well, that's pretty crazy. I wonder how/if that will be reflected in reviews.

Not getting Halo 5 at launch. I'll wait for reviews and when more content comes out.

Smart if you don't care about spoilers.

Reviews will be super interesting. I wonder how they'll handle post release content. Judge it as it is, or judge it as it promisses to be?

like i said with splatoon,.. reviewers have to judge as is.  delaying content will hurt reviews.
