If halo 5 fails FC IS DEAD simple as that , their is no way to sustain a community on a old halo game with no developer support. We have only one logical choice and that is to ride this h5 train to the grave.

The entire halo community could die if Halo 5 is a failure like MCC. I'll just start playing CS:GO lol.

Oddly enough, I tend to agree with Unfolded on this one. H5 is where we need to hinge our success or failure on. Either we commit to it, or we don't display an up-to-date Halo community. I think H5 will launch just fine, Microsoft and 343 are counting on it. Going back to an old game just won't help us in the long run, though I'm all about maintaining side wars and all that.

I'm not sure how I feel about backwards compatibility as a fall back.

I think we blame our problems on the game at lot more than is justified. (I'm guilty of this too.) Yes a bad game is a bad game and it sucks, but there still people playing in matchmaking and we are still gaining new recruits. Even if Halo 5 has a terrible launch, I don't think it makes a lot of sense to jump ship because the game sucks.

That said, when Reach becomes available for backwards compatibility, I'll be playing that constantly. I already play it somewhat regularly on 360 with W3z4b1 and backwards compatibility will want me to play it even more. For those who may not have played Reach recently, matchmaking times are instant (much faster than MCC for searching), the gameplay is 100% lag free, and I have never had a lobby crash or issues connecting. Even if Halo 5 is awesome, I'll still probably be spending most of my time on Reach. I would support any transition to play more Reach in the community.
