  1. I think the first thing we all need to truly accept is that, really, both in terms of numbers and competition, Halo won't ever be the same again, it just won't. Back in the Halo 3 days, there was really only CoD and Starcraft 1/2, CS Franchise (Based on opinion, i'm not really sure what other games there were that were as big) which could really compete. But, while Halo didn't exactly do it's self any favours with Halo Reach (My favourite Halo personally) and Halo 4, that still doesn't mean it was all Halo's fault.

    Other games like League and DotA, CS:GO, CoD (Cod has grown so much from CoD 4, Bash it all you want, it's true, it's essentially the Halo of the Original Xbox, the only real competitive shooter on console nowadays, Maybe Destiny will change that) and similar/future games have all taken over Halo, and that's because people just enjoy other games, and since Halo changed and people didn't like the change, they don't see the point of coming back.

    Will Halo ever be as big as it used to be? No.
    WIll Halo ever be as big competitively as it used to be? Probably not.
    Will Halo be revived with MCC/Halo 5? If done right with H5, quite possibly, but not to the extent of Halo 3.

    I'm not someone who believes people just buy Xbox for Halo, that's kind of silly now.

    I don't see exactly MLG being the reason why Halo was at its peak, for the most part, its because there wasn't really any other huge FPS on console, Didn't like CoD? Pfft go to Halo then. While MLG did have an effect, it wasn't as big as possibly thought. And that was really shown by playlist numbers. (IE: Compare Social Slayer to MLG, even during an MLG event, even during an MLG championship really)

    Halo does have every chance of coming back, don't get me wrong, just don't expect the types of numbers that Halo 3 had.

    I'm holding out hope for Halo, i really am, how much hope is questionable though, and I see Halo 5 as really make or break, for casual and competitive play for Halo, despite what MCC will produce, we need new content, not old content with new graphics.

  2. " All good RTS games have a unit cap." 

     

    What about Command and Conquer? That series didn't have unit caps, and i loved it. On PC, anyway. The Xbox version did have a unit cap. Maybe Halo Wars 2 for the Xbox One can have an unlimited unit cap, or increased? What do you guys think?  

    Highly unlikely it will be unlimited.

     

    A lot greater would be good though.
