Halo 2 anniversary

If there’s one thing that could ship more Xbox Ones than Titanfall, it’s Halo. Xbox users don’t just love Halo, they’re fanatical about it. So, it will be interesting to see what news we get – but there is confirmed that we will be getting Halo news at E3.

Responding to a question on twitter, Phil Spencer gave the following reply:

Is this a sign of Halo 5 news? Well, not according to Steve Downs, the voice of Master Chief:

I think you may be ahead of yourself on Halo 5. I wouldn’t expect anything until 2015. What you can look forward to this year is an anniversary edition of Halo 2.

Hm, so does this mean Microsoft is reneging on their promise of releasing Halo 5 this year? Or will E3 just be used to fill us with nostalgia over a Halo 2 Anniversary Edition? They certainly need to do something new and exciting with the franchise – recent filler offerings have been less than stellar.

Which would you rather play, Halo 5 or Titanfall? Do you think Halo is still a relevant franchise, or is it time for Microsoft to shift their attention to new IP? Oh, who am I kidding – as soon as Halo 5 is announced they will make a special edition Xbox One bundle that will sell out faster than the DA in a meeting with Agang.

    I think I secretly wish they’ll bring Halo to pc every time I see there’s news on Halo.
    Titanfall is under EA. So not getting it though.

    Halo is still relevant. I’ve been playing Halo since the launch of Halo 1 (I had an original Xbox as well), and Halo4 gave me just as much joy as Halo 1 did, and we played it just as much.

    And in other news. There is news that reports on news that will be coming later in the year… wait.. what??

    Just trolling!

    But I wonder if it isn’t a little late? Or maybe they are hoping the same as everyone else… That by that time the xbox glitches will be sorted and will then be able to push the game and the console?

    343i turned Halo 4 into one of the most brilliant games on Xbox ever which shows better than anything Bungie made after Halo 2.

    What surprised me the most this gen was how splendid HALO 4 looked. I was under the impression that it was 60fps. It was 30fps but it was the native 720p that made it looked as smooth as FORZA.

    I am not to fussed about fps but when one is paying a grand less for the other console that finds 1080P a tickle then I will go for the other machine.

      At sub-hd levels 30fps isn’t much noticeable because the pixels aren’t throwing much detail. At 1080p these things start to glare with stop-motion like graphics and controller lag input.

      And that’s why the PC gamers are fussing about having every game run at 60fps.
