343i may as well hold off on Halo 6. Halo 5 will be a monster on 1X.

Not surprised. Halo 5 is the most popular Halo since Halo 3. With such a large following, it only makes sense to offer a native 4K version. It's gonna be purty!

I've put in over 1K hours in Halo 5 multiplayer. It's biggest issue is performance which is no doubt impacted by the current size of the community which forces me to play on servers out in Mexico. Since I slept through my 2 years of Spanish in high school, it'll be nice to understand what randoms are saying on a regular basis. I hope whatever they do drives the community back. Would also be nice to get server selection.
 
No performance issues in Halo 5 here. It's actually the best online I have experienced in a Halo game to date.
 
That's pretty darn impressive technically, that game is a looker other than the resolution on Xbox One. I don't think 4k will be "low res".
 
OMG, the missing space in the title of this thread is killing my OCD.

Now don't you wish you hadn't slept through Spanish?!
 
Reach is BC. I always assumed they held the rest back to give more incentive to buy TMCC.

Glad to see them coming, I just wish by some magical force they could make them 60fps like the TMCC.

I'm shooting 69% on the season in Slayer. There are some nights I'll average 14+ headshots a game over the course of a few hours. Other nights I struggle to average 7 total kills a game because latency and shots not counting. I still haven't determined which part of that is inconsistent connection on my end and which part is servers. Fact that I can't kill anyone when people are talking in Spanish in the lobbies makes me think its servers...either that or Mexicans are super good at playing defensively in Halo.

New users and returning users. It's also 4K for MP which still has healthy populations and will bump in November too. You can get a sense of the fidelity by looking at the PC Forge/MP package on a high end PC and without committing to anything I will note that BC legacy titles and the "fate" of MCC are not connected at the hip as some have perhaps reasonably, but in this specific case, mistakenly inferred. That may be cold comfort with no information to share at this time, but they are not an either or situation.

It worked great after a few patches, and it still has a large population playing it. If you post at waypoint, you will see it is doing rather well.

Played all campaigns legendary (including odst) and had 1 instance of obvious slowdown (on Midnight Halo 4 ..literally just before the final section) and ...im not sure this was a glitch, but i was struggling with two banshees on the goldolas on delta halo in H2A so my checkpoint reverted me to an earlier checkpoint where i could better prepare myself. Glitch or smart save system? IDK.

As for multiplayer, i played 5 games last night. Territories on Last Resort, TDM on Lockdown, Warlord and Gemini and CTF on a Halo 3 map i cant remember.

It can take a couple of minutes to find a game, probably twice as long as other halo games...but its parsing 4 games with 4 times as many maps, maybe thats to be expected. But the games I played were always full and ran as they should.

Yeah the campaigns work. I think I am still part way through the ODST one (always underrated). The MP never worked for me, even after it was supposedly fixed. I'd sit in matchmaking for 10+ minutes and nothing. Wasn't sure if the game still doesn't work or everyone just bailed?

Probably both. The game not telling you how many people are in the playlists doesn't help.
