| {{Archived}}
| | All the official sources, like Halo Waypoint, refer to this game as Halo Xbox One instead of Halo 5. Has anyone confirmed that it's called Halo 5? <font style="papyrus">[[User:Bioniclepluslotr|<font color="lime">'''Bioniclepluslotr'''</font>]]</font> 18:32, 10 June 2013 (EDT) |

| == Pro-John117 bias ==
| | :I can't reasonably seeing them calling the game anything else, but you're right. At no point has 343 ever used the title "Halo 5". Until they do, we should refrain from referring to it as such.--[[File:Emblem 1.jpg|20px|bottom]][[User:Rusty-112|<span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13pt;color:blue;">''' Rusty'''</span><span style="font-size:13pt;color:red;">'''-'''</span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13pt;color:blue;">'''112'''</span>]] [[Halopedia:Administrators|<span style="color:red; font-family:Arial">'''''Admin'''''</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Rusty-112|<font color="blue">'''comm'''</font>]]</sup> 19:17, 10 June 2013 (EDT) |

| | ::I agree. While Occam's Razor basically ''screams'' that the game is ''Halo 5'', we need to wait for confirmation. Until then, ''Halo Xbox One'' will have to suffice. --[[User:Braidenvl|Courage never dies.]] ([[User talk:Braidenvl|talk]]) 19:29, 10 June 2013 (EDT) |
| :If you could please explain a little more, that would be great, because I fail to see how the article is "biased" in any way. After all, John-117 is sort of the main character of the game and entire series. His backstory between ''Halo 4'' and now is pretty central to the game too.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 16:24, 18 September 2015 (EDT) | | :::https://twitter.com/Xbox/status/344182593647964160 Link refers to it as Halo 5<font color="green">[[User:Rollersox|Death will follow you]]...</font><font color="blue" size="2"><sup>[[User talk:Rollersox|but you can survive]]</sup></font> 19:36, 10 June 2013 (EDT) |
| ::John-117 is one of two main characters, as was the case with Halo 2, and in Reach there are arguably 6 main characters. There can be more than one main character but the article says he is the solitary protagonist alluding to Locke being somehow lesser or inferior in role when 343 have multiple times stated the opposite (they are even depicted as equals face to face on the '''cover art of the game'''){{Unsigned|98.65.201.42}} | |
| :::No, it doesn't. The article states John-117 is the primary protagonist of the ''series'', not of the game.

| It appears from this [https://youtu.be/F6Xz2Ggn5tU?t=517 video] that it is possible to switch positions in a vehicle. Should we add this to the article? Thanks, --[[User:Weeping Angel|Weeping Angel]] ([[User talk:Weeping Angel|talk]]) 19:30, 7 October 2015 (EDT)
| | :::::Even if I strongly think that this game is Halo 5, there is still no official information as it being called Halo 5 or being the second installment in the Reclaimer Trilogy, etc. But instead of immediately moving the page, maybe we should just wait for the next Bulletin or a press release from Halo Waypoint (something more than just the trailer). I'm pretty sure that 343 will confirm or deny it. Well, either that, or they don't know how to properly name a game / announce it. If this week's Bulletin doesn't clearly state that the game is Halo 5, then change it to Halo Xbox One or whatever. Or we may as well do it today, but it will possibly be changed again. '''Edit:''' Well it seems that even the Waypoint forum is called "Halo Xbox One"... This really doesn't make any sense to me. If it were Halo 5, why wouldn't they call it such? And if it were a spin-off set between H4 and H5, then why wouldn't they use a subtitle...[[User:Imrane-117|Imrane-117]] ([[User talk:Imrane-117|talk]]) 20:01, 10 June 2013 (EDT) |

| | ::::::Just my two cents - [http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/detail/111609fe-d53c-4400-b4d6-44ae3629dda3/halo-xbox-one here] it says "The award-winning franchise continues on Xbox One, beginning in 2014. '''Final title''' to be announced at a later date." That may mean the title "Halo Xbox One" (and perhaps Halo 5) are just temporary/working titles, and aren't permanent. So just a heads up before moving the page to "Halo Xbox One", which IMO wouldn't make sense as a video game title especially for the Halo series.--'''''[[User:Killamint|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Arial;">Killamint</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Killamint|<font color="Red">Comm</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Killamint|<font color="Black">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 20:43, 10 June 2013 (EDT) |

| | Nobody's saying "Halo Xbox One" is going to be the final title. Odds are we'll move the page then move it right back when it's officially announced as Halo 5. But we don't get to call it Halo 5 until either 343 Industries or Microsoft call it that. That being said, what do we think sounds more appropriate for a title: "Halo Xbox One" or "Halo (Xbox One)"?--[[File:Emblem 1.jpg|20px|bottom]][[User:Rusty-112|<span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13pt;color:blue;">''' Rusty'''</span><span style="font-size:13pt;color:red;">'''-'''</span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13pt;color:blue;">'''112'''</span>]] [[Halopedia:Administrators|<span style="color:red; font-family:Arial">'''''Admin'''''</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Rusty-112|<font color="blue">'''comm'''</font>]]</sup> 21:53, 10 June 2013 (EDT) |
| Have Team Majestic along with all of it's members been actually proved to appear in Halo 5? Besides the fact that Thorne was originally supposed to take Buck's place, all proofs I know, is a shot from "A Hero Reborn", in which someone noticed "Madsen" in a script, which we don't know even to be final and featured in game. It could also be just a mention. Is that enough to make an assumption? [[User:PatrickRus|PatrickRus]] ([[User talk:PatrickRus|talk]]) 07:06, 22 October 2015 (EDT)

| ==Additional Characters== | | == New Machine to be revealed as the war sphinx? == |
| Aside from the mention of "Sloan" (his name is [[Governor Sloan]]), there's a few other AIs who joined the [[Created]] that should be listed. Those who joined in the scene where we had hundreds join are [[Cromwell]], Shipboard AI on the [[UNSC Melbourne's Pride]], [[Jiang]], the [[Colonial Administration Authority|Colonial Authority]] AI on [[Erdenet]], Rykers, and others. Should these be listed?

|
| Honestly, I would think all but a few AIs joined Domana and the Created, such as Roland and Black-Box. It would be to much of a trouble to list all of them and unless someone gets a hold of the script for Halo 5, I would only go for the AIs that get subtitled.

| | when i saw the trailer, i noticed that this thing reminds a bit of a sphinx quoted in the books of greg bear, could it be that in this new halo they will show the true power of the forerunner? |
| | Also, its eyes are orange as the didact's army, could this mean that he really survived the epilogue of halo 4? |

| Given the fact that the very small part Cortana hums can indeed be recognized as that same Debussy's song, can be also named in the "Plot Synopsis" section, replacing "Piano music"?

For reference: [[Wikipedia:Marketing of Halo 3|Wikipedia's marketing of ''Halo 3'']]. I feel like it would benefit the main article, as currently we have like over 20 subsections for different features of ''Halo 5'' marketing media and most of them are only a couple lines long. Instead, we can go into detail about the marketing in the new article, while still summarizing it in the main article.
