Looking over the Halo poll questions I posted a couple weeks ago has been super interesting. I know polls are not a perfect science for gathering data and I had about 40K respondents to most of them, but it helps gauge general sentiment. I also have no idea how many bots got thrown at them. #1 How important is Master Chief to the future of Halo? 51% said they would prefer Chief plus additional new characters. #2 For the next Halo, which should be the highest priority? 53% say PvP and PvE equally important. #3 What direction would you prefer for the next Halo story? This one is neck and neck between "Continue the current saga" (39.3%) and "New story, same universe" (38.2%). The comments in the thread for this one also indicate there's a strong divide between the Bungie and 343 Halo games. #4 How important is a serious esports/competitive scene to the future of Halo? 37% say Somewhat important. 32% say it's very important. IMO, I would keep it but probably have a sister studio own the feature set. #5 How important is the Cortana/Chief relationship to Halo's future? 46% say Their story is complete. Buh-bye Cortana, I guess MS will need to find a new AI voice. #6 How important is Atriox to the future of Halo? 51% say Important but not central. Only 18% said he's essential. #7 What tone should define the future of Halo? 52% say Dark, gritty and grounded. 45% want epic space opera. To be honest, a blend of both is not difficult. Most of you are speaking my language! Yeah baby.
