I'd love an Arbiter side-story campaign DLC for Halo 5 ala ODST...still holding out for that, Grim.

My guess is the Phantom Dust game will hit late this year, Recore-style, as in not a full $60 game. We'll also receive a free2play Mechassault at some point, and obviously Crackdown 3 at some point (full-featured, not the initial multiplayer first, campaign later way that was first talked about).

As davidfuchs said, I'll still be playing Halo 5 most of this year anyway, so no new mainline Halo game works for me. I'm still on the fence as to whether I'm getting Halo Wars 2 (Not big into the multiplayer, but love the gameplay and campaign from the first one), Ghost Recon or Mass Effect. Any one of those could keep me occupied with Halo 5, Games with Gold and the occasional digital-only (what once was called Xbox Live Arcade) style games.
