How do you know they're lying about statistics only they have access to?
Is it that unbelievable that the people who want halo to be old school slow and basic are the minority and M$ has already entertained that crowd with halo MCC?
Also.. i enjoy debating halo with you cuz u actually understand it very well

See Halo 4, Reach, and H3 to an extent. When custom settings have to be created to have a viable competitive game then a problem exists. It splits the community down the middle, and causes more separation and ends up hurting the game.
Its not easy to keep the competitive community alive when they're playing a completely different game from what the casual community is playing. They watch and they dont understand it, which means they dont care. Even if they make a playlist for it, it'll be the first one to die, just like Reach MLG was and H4 Legendary was.
Not to mention not even 6 months ago these dudes said that they understood the need for a game to have competitive settings that were as close to identical to out of the box settings as possible, and went that route with H2A. All thats different is that Radar is off and they built one wall on Sanctuary on Red base so you couldnt play bomb.
Now its back to four years ago.
SLOW HALO? No sir no
Sprint Halo is actually the slow one, all the defensive abilities that they add along with increasing the Time to Kill on the guns in every game prolong engagements and make the game play slower. Running doesnt speed up the game on anything more than a shallow surface level. We've gone from a gun that killed in .6 seconds to one that takes almost two seconds to kill combined with Huge maps with a myriad of walls and ways to run away from engagements. Seriously man its the other way around. Sprint ruins the meta game.
Two things. One 11% isnt enough for them to concede anything, at least not to me it isnt. Go ahead and publish those results.

Second thing the H5 Community Feedback program had two sections. One that asked what was the biggest offender to H5 (Sprint, Thruster, the maps etc etc etc) then two weeks later they sent us an entire survey about Sprint. An entire 20 question questionairre? More than 11% of people have to enact that kind of thing. Not to mention that they gave us this very same poll a year ago and over 75% of people said no sprint. Did all those people die?
It just seems very unbelievable to me, and I'm not willing to give the benefit of the doubt to a company that has lied to my face over a dozen times already.
The questions in the survey were worded in a way that they could make the results say anything
"The results from the HCFP surveys showed that nearly 11% of HCFP participants felt that Halo should not have sprint."
11% voted halo should NOT have sprint
80% voted would prefer halo not to have sprint
8% would accept sprint if it was balanced
1% voted halo needs sprint
That's literally how survey one went. Selective wording,asking the question on five different ways to enable them to make statements like this.
I wouldn't pay too much attention to that 11%.
The survey was crafted in a way that makes that result misrepresentative. The amount of people that would truly prefer to play without sprint is probably substantially larger.

- THAT STAT ON 11% WOULD PREFER NOT TO HAVE SPRINT IS PRETTY OBVIOUSLY A LIE. I WOULD PUT THE NUMBER AROUND 60-70%. THE PROBLEM IS SEE THAT 343 SEEMS TO BE HAVING IS THAT THEY ARE CAN'T ADMIT A MISTAKE. I BET THEY TRULY WANT TO REMOVE SPRINT BUT THEIR PRIDE IS IN THE WAY IN HAVING TO ADMIT A MISTAKE. THEY WOULD RATHER TRY AND CONVINCE YOU THAT IT IS GOOD.
- WAS THE BETA EVEN OPEN FOR 37 DAYS? HOW CAN THE AVERAGE BE 37 DAYS PER A PERSON?
- WHAT IS THE POINT OF SPRINT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SHORTEN THE DELTA BETWEEN BASE SPEED AND SPRINT? WHY NOT JUST INCREASE BASE SPEED AND GET RID OF SPRINT. IF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO SPEEDS ARE CLOSE ENOUGH IT SEEMS REDUNDANT.
- I AGREE WITH THEIR RANKING SYSTEM. WINS AND LOSSES IS WHAT IT IS ABOUT. IF INDIVIDUAL STATS AREN'T BEING HIGHLIGHTED AS MUCH THEN IT FORCES PEOPLE TO TALK AND COMMUNICATE IF THEY HOPE TO ADVANCE. LET'S GET GAMES VOCAL AGAIN. FEELS LIKE I'M PLAYING GAMES IN A COFFIN LATELY.

I thought Titanfall got old FAST. Played for about a week and was done with it. Haven't thought about playing it since.

History tends to repeat it itself. It'll sell, but this will happen, although I dont expect them to even include population counters. They wont take that L twice.
There it is. Nothing more than they dont want to admit it. Base movement speed is what game speed revolves around. But nah this is what happens when you have people who dont really get how Halo plays, led by a guy who ran the SOCOM franchise into the ground at the head of it all.

The game will be a success, regardless of usage. The sales will be through the roof as usual.

The name alone guarantees that, I've never disputed that. Usage is what I've been arguing, and it will fail in that regard.

Sucks that corporate america doesn't care about how fun the game is / repayable / player retention
We get shafted because the community views a successful game as a game that is played for a long time / has a large player retention whereas publishers base the success of a game on profits
Thats one of the reasons why i think the "new wave" of extremely popular games will continue to be these small, but fully functional and FUN indy-ish games.

I thought COD would drop off this year with the hate Ghosts received, but it sold very well. I would be interested to see how many are still playing that game compared to release month.
I can't imagine, with a longer development time, that the general public will not be willing to give Halo 5 a shot. So many will buy it simply because it's a new Halo.
But I tend to agree with @Antidope If it isn't amazing, there are just simply too many other options out there to stick with something average.

Bro u applied logic and common sense to something gauged by idiots. Even tho video games is a "geek" activity, the powers that be are all idiots.
Your arguement is totally correct but in their eyes they succeeded

surprised by those titanfall numbers. Game is still fun to me.

A lot of factors lead to TF downfall, some on the gamers end, most on MS/EA end. The game is actually pretty good, a lot of offerings in game types, good dlc, good mechanics.
I like that TF is challenging, you can't just rank up just because you play a lot, the game is actually about skill.

Watch dogs was just bad, good idea and concept, horrible story.
I mean that besides COd, a lot of games don't have staying power. Wolfenstein, infamous ss , titanfall they're all pretty much forgotten
