A video that should be of interest to any Halo fan

I'm pre-ordering H5 (I hate Halo)

91

I'm not pre-ordering H5 (I am a sensible Halo fan)

296

Warning: Watching this video requires you to have an attention span longer than 30 seconds. If you really can't sit still and listen for 30 mins then he does a quick TL;DW in the final 10 mins of the video, which will probably counter any ridiculous argument you might have against the irrefutable points he has made. I actually found this video pretty inspiring, but also quite depressing at the same time. It has definitely asserted my position that pre-ordering H5 would be the wrong thing to do as a responsible consumer, not to mention someone who loves Halo. The video makes me depressed due to the undeniable facts that he provided about population numbers and how low they must be for MCC (lower than BF4 which came out 18 months ago). On the plus side, H5 pre-orders are currently rather pathetic and the Halo fanbase clearly didn't enjoy the beta due to the average playtime they put into it (2.5 hours). So hopefully H5 will sell like shit and the Halo fanbase will actually begin to get treated with some respect again in order to revive it. So now I expect the usual pathetic responses of '>logfish' and people calling me a hater. But if you actually feel like engaging your brains for a second, I challenge you to try and refute the points made in the video (you can't). P.S. I'm even going to put up a poll so I can see what proportion of people on this site hate Halo and what proportion actually want to see it survive. Thanks for your time

    [b]Good, good, give into your hate and anger, for it makes you stronger. At one with the dark side you will soon be, young apprentice. [/b] Ohh...wait what? Lol, you mean you were actually serious? [b]*Hands OP another broken record* [/b] As you copy and pasted an old post of your's, though this time added a completely biased poll. Congratulations as this is shit-tier trolling even for you. I am starting to think your real name might be BDobbins, then again you would probably remember the content of your own video before posting about it, right? If you found this guy inspiring..again you are truly lost. He is stuck in 2007 and a complete idiot, to refute the claims of a imbecile, I wonder? The only worthwhile thing he points out is not to pre-order, that can hardly be news to anyone, no one should pre-order any game, any sensible gamer knows that. I don't pre-order any game anymore, even if I have faith they will deliver on their promises. So pre-orders like those of all other games are down. Maybe the message is finally sinking in that pre-ordering is killing the gaming industry? After people got their fingers burned by broken at launch games like BF4 MP, Assassins Creed Unity and of course the MCC MP. Let's not forget Destiny, not as it was fundamentally broken (cut content, I will leave it at that). However do not delude to the fact that pre-orders will equate to actual day one sales and sales in general. Plus it's not out until 27/10/15 so people will pre-order closer to the release. Not pre-ordering will not change the content in Halo 5. If people don't buy it maybe so, but by not pre-ordering sadly for you it will not turn the clock back to 2007. 343 hate the Halo fanbase that's correct, they show us little respect lol, that's exactly why they took all the negative feedback about Halo 4's casual'ised MP and made Halo competitive again at least from my Beta play testing, which was more than IGN's "[b]reported[/b]" 2.5 hours playtime. We all know how impartial IGN are, don't we? Feel free to call me an "343 apologist", I have been playing Halo since 2001, Bungie have gone on to develop other titles, the sooner you accept this the better. I want Halo to be king of the FPS genre not a memory of times past, if you do not progress you stagnate, surely you can comprehend this simple premise, try "engage your brain" You say you love Halo but it's a strange thing to say when it's obvious that you wished it was still 2007 and do not like change. If you hate Halo and 343 so much I suggest you stop playing it and stop whining. [b]#Gaming please stop responding to OP, you know this only encourages him. [/b] Good day to you sir, thank you for your time.

      I have read the books and have played from Halo: Combat Evolved all the way to Halo:MCC. I am definitely preordering this game and I absolutely adore the franchise.The guy did make some interesting points, but I prefer to preorder my limited collectors edition considering they sell pretty quickly. Judging by playing the beta, the game was actually really fun for the multiplayer. If someone does preorder it though, you can't just go and assume they hate Halo because they actually support it. I do think though that this guy wants to shove his opinion down our throats. It's our money, if we want to preorder Halo and keep it going then we will and if you don't preorder it then that is fine with me, just don't go telling other people that they shouldn't preorder Halo 5 because then they will hate Halo. Seems like to me the people who do preorder it support the game more than the people who don't preorder, especially the people who try to force other people to not preorder something they like. Just leave us be. Truly if we preorder it doesn't mean we hate it, it just means that we want to keep the game going and to continue being made.

      • True Halo fans only care about the story and lore, and see the multiplayer as a bonus to extend the lifetime of the game. So please so called Halo fans, stop thinking Bungie did great games when in reality they left a lot of plot holes for 343i to fix and explain.

          Have you seen the new Locke trailer? Gamestop is giving his armor away to those who pre-ordered from them, it looks awesome!

            • I got the MCC on release day and I had very few problems. Even the matchmaking has run smoothly for the most part. People treat it like its 'broken' when it runs just fine because they want an excuse to complain about something. ODST in HD is even being released as a peace offering and yet people still aren't satisfied. I'd be much happier if 343 focussed all their resources from now on making Halo 5 the best game it can be. That would avoid as many bugs and problems as possible. I'm not going to obey an arrogant fool who has some half-arsed theories on YouTube. If I feel like preordering H5, I will.

              • Just because you pre-order a game does not mean your an idiot, and just because you don't pre-order doesn't mean your a goddamn wizard. Honestly, I won't pre-order it, but that's just because it's in a weird time of the year for me to buy games. But pre-ordering is an important part of the cycle of any game, so obviously pre-ordering can hurt a game very much. If your mad at 343i for Halo MCC don't blame them, they didn't have to make MCC, blame microsoft, obviously 343i was stressed under the pressure of making Halo 5 and MCC from Microsoft, and not pre-ordering a game won't improve the quality of halo 5. If you doubt my opinion and hate 343i then look at Halo 2A's forge.... They didn't have to include that, but they did anyway, and it's perhaps a more improved forge than all other halo's forges.

                  Played Halo since the the begining, still preordering Halo 5. I want my Legendary Edition and Dobbins talking out of his ass for an hour won't stop that. But heres another good reason, did you play the Beta? Im guessing no, but if you did you would have felt like you were playing the same 2 maps cut stright from a $60 game you could have gone and bought right then. It felt like a demo, not a beta. It felt complete and the servers were perfectly functional. All of that an entire year before the game launches? Thats enough for me to have faith in 343 and to preorder. Edit: Im really geting sick of the whole #savemccfirst thing, if you go play the game and stoped bitching, you'd see that it runs great.

                    Has MCC really been forgotten because of the networking issues? If so I could never forgive MS/343 for -blam!-ing up the only reason I want to play video games anymore.

                      • Let Halo die. 343 ruined this franchise and it started when they got control of Reach.

                        • That guy is actually pretty good at speaking, and I can sort of respect his opinion, but his abilities are wasted on pointless drivel. First off, I doubt that 343i even sets their own release dates. The publisher, Microsoft, is probably responsible for that. Why do you think that franchises and devs typically chafe after being bought by EA? Because EA sets deadlines exclusively based on profit. Unfortunately, that's the way it is. Welcome to Capitalism. Also, don't tell me what to do with my own money. I'll pre-order or not pre-order whatever I damn well please. Granted, as of making this post, I haven't pre-ordered Halo 5, but that's because I want to see what the different editions have in store. Now, Logfish, shut up and go back to your room.
