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

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.
