Im saying they have something bigger than TitanFall next year.  If XBO fails then it fails, but TitanFall is hardly the biggest game to be released for XBO next year either and shouldnt be treated as the only big game for next year.


I'm the biggest Halo fan there is but that franchise has run it's course imo. Halo 4 came and went with a whisper and games like COD,Battlefield and Titanfall have all eclipsed it as far as hype etc. Halo USE to be what COD is now, minus the yearly cycle BS. That isn't the case anymore.

If you look at the way MS has been craming Titanfall down our throats, nonstop, it's clear even they are betting their entire gaming division on this one single game. It's the only game thus far that has any real sort of killer app buzz. I'm curious to see how they're going to prevent 360 owners from buying it there instead of buying an Xbone. I think THAT'S going to be their biggest problem. Will they make sure to gimp it in some way on purpose? Who knows.

I wouldn't underestimate Halo and MS ability to market a game.  Halo 5 is going to be on a new system with a lot more capability that can radically change the game in many ways.  It will be a different experience, something that will atract many halo fans, reguardless on whether or not they have given up on the franchise.  

How could microsoft gimp a game they aren't developing or publishing?  They don't have any control over what EA or Respawn does to the game on any platform.  That being said, of course the 360 version will be gimped compared the the x1 and pc.  The hardware is completely different and dated in comparison.  The 360 won't be able to render the same effects and graphics as the other systems.
