Well there is this thing called delays. While 2014 is probably the target for Halo 5 I can see them delaying it to 2015. Either way there will be a Halo game this year.

Tech ms has never said anything about halo 5 just that a halo game will be out this year

Well yes the Halo trailer doesn't technically have a 5 in it. But that was the game MS referred to that is coming out this year. Otherwise that is some clever PR wordplay.

It's happening?

pfff what would be funny is if all those leaks are completely false and that they surprise US with major end of year releases and a crazy 2015 schedule of unannounced IP

the more I hear rumors the more I'm excited for E3 because I'm more confused now than I was before the leaks lol

Major Nelson already teased ilovebees on twitter earlier this year. Along with the most recent leak, I see the Halo 2 Annivesary being a thing this year. If they keep the online intact with updated visuals, it would sell huge.

IMO it makes more sense to release Halo 5 next year so it doesn't get eaten alive by Destiny. Release Anniversary 2 this year and Halo 5 next year.

Edit: wtf happened to my second sig?  :(

The latest stuff MS has been saying is AAA Halo title. The whole Halo 5 thing hasn't been used for the next halo in awhile by MS.

If you have been following, after the Halo trailer at E3, nobody, from the developers to the publisher, wanted to confirm if it was the next Halo or even some kind of spin-off. It has been the discussion for months. The studio that created the trailer, Axis, uploaded the same trailer but this time it had Halo 5 at the end—the video was deleted, but can still be found through other sources. We now knew that the Halo trailer at E3 was edited. Then there are some other sources, such as environment artists and narrative designers who gave away that they were working on Halo 5. So why the secrecy? Everything pointed to Halo 5.

Now the leak happens, leaker says that H2 remake is coming. Well, now it makes more sense why the E3 trailer was so vague and why nobody really wanted to say what it was. That trailer also noted that “The Halo journey continues”, which could mean anything, the statement is vague enough to point out that all kinds of Halo games will continue on the XB1. Frankie, who visits HaloGAF (Not often enough, but that is another matter) does not beat around the bush about Halo—but even he did not once give us a nudge that the trailer was for Halo 5, even after the Axis video and other sources confirmed it. They wanted to keep this a surprise, because H2 will have its 10th anniversary—and that is a big deal to Halo fans, it’s one of the games that defined the Xbox and nobody is going to cry spilt milk for a HD remake of it.
