Halo Xbox One
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? Bioniclepluslotr 18:32, 10 June 2013 (EDT)
- 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.-- Rusty-112 Admin comm 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. --Courage never dies. (talk) 19:29, 10 June 2013 (EDT)
- https://twitter.com/Xbox/status/344182593647964160 Link refers to it as Halo 5Death will follow you...but you can survive 19:36, 10 June 2013 (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...Imrane-117 (talk) 20:01, 10 June 2013 (EDT)
- Just my two cents - 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.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:43, 10 June 2013 (EDT)
- Well, since we know "Halo: Xbox One" is not going to be the actual title, I think "Halo 5" is our best option, unless we really want to change it to "Unnamed Halo game (2014)". Alex T Snow (talk) 21:34, 10 June 2013 (EDT)

First appearances
Why is the Forerunner machine listed as a first appearance? If it's a Seeker or a War sphinx it's not a first appearance. I think we should wait declaring this as such until we have some sort of confirmation. Similarly with the planet. It may be a first appearance. It may not.We don't know --Weeping Angel (talk) 20:08, 10 June 2013 (EDT)
