A video that should be of interest to any Halo fan

I'm pre-ordering H5 (I hate Halo)

I'm not pre-ordering H5 (I am a sensible Halo fan)

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

    [b]Good, good, give into your hate and anger, for it makes you stronger. At one with the dark side you will soon be, young apprentice. [/b] Ohh...wait what? Lol, you mean you were actually serious? [b]*Hands OP another broken record* [/b] As you copy and pasted an old post of your's, though this time added a completely biased poll. Congratulations as this is shit-tier trolling even for you. I am starting to think your real name might be BDobbins, then again you would probably remember the content of your own video before posting about it, right? If you found this guy inspiring..again you are truly lost. He is stuck in 2007 and a complete idiot, to refute the claims of a imbecile, I wonder? The only worthwhile thing he points out is not to pre-order, that can hardly be news to anyone, no one should pre-order any game, any sensible gamer knows that. I don't pre-order any game anymore, even if I have faith they will deliver on their promises. So pre-orders like those of all other games are down. Maybe the message is finally sinking in that pre-ordering is killing the gaming industry? After people got their fingers burned by broken at launch games like BF4 MP, Assassins Creed Unity and of course the MCC MP. Let's not forget Destiny, not as it was fundamentally broken (cut content, I will leave it at that). However do not delude to the fact that pre-orders will equate to actual day one sales and sales in general. Plus it's not out until 27/10/15 so people will pre-order closer to the release. Not pre-ordering will not change the content in Halo 5. If people don't buy it maybe so, but by not pre-ordering sadly for you it will not turn the clock back to 2007. 343 hate the Halo fanbase that's correct, they show us little respect lol, that's exactly why they took all the negative feedback about Halo 4's casual'ised MP and made Halo competitive again at least from my Beta play testing, which was more than IGN's "[b]reported[/b]" 2.5 hours playtime. We all know how impartial IGN are, don't we? Feel free to call me an "343 apologist", I have been playing Halo since 2001, Bungie have gone on to develop other titles, the sooner you accept this the better. I want Halo to be king of the FPS genre not a memory of times past, if you do not progress you stagnate, surely you can comprehend this simple premise, try "engage your brain" You say you love Halo but it's a strange thing to say when it's obvious that you wished it was still 2007 and do not like change. If you hate Halo and 343 so much I suggest you stop playing it and stop whining. [b]#Gaming please stop responding to OP, you know this only encourages him. [/b] Good day to you sir, thank you for your time.
