Your wrong tbh but I can see how the perception of this statement has been built over the gen

For MS’ Xbox event in July, would you prefer they show Halo first or last?

Halo 5 Anniversary, LOL.
Oh man, you'd be able to hear the gutteral screams all over the nation, from your living room.
Personally I think the conference should just be 90 minutes of GTA V footage.
Start of the show should absolutely be Halo.
If they have it available, the end of the show should just be them signing off, followed by "Captured in Real-Time on Series X" on the screen. Show some gameplay footage of Fable, have a villager call you Chicken Chaser right at the end, and show the new Fable logo with "2021" at the bottom. Then cut the stream.

Start with a surprise reveal with actual gameplay launching early 2021.
Halo in the middle, 5-10 gameplay demonstration, launch date
End with a surprise banger....fade to black....2021

I kind of think they're going to open with a trailer for Infinite and close with a lengthy gameplay demo.
I think they're going all in on it.

XGS could probably do a lot in first party / dev deals.
psychonauts 2
Halo
Bleeding edge year 2
Hellblade 2
Sea of thieves
Everwild
Rare project 3
Wasteland
Forza MS 8 / Horizon 5
Fable
End screen but it's really a psych out
Perfect Dark, obsidian rpg, inxile rpg are in development
(Also killer instinct 2 is on my bingo card but mostly for dreams)

Both start off the show with single player Halo "bet you cant stick it" moment and then end the show with awesome multiplayer gameplay showing new things that can be done.
That would be disappointing, it's their BOTW but an hour would be to long, they should just pull a Nintendo and have a awesome trailer and than have a "Treehouse" like event after and go on a deep dive.
Yea save any "deep dives" (15+ minutes) for a Inside Xbox, Summer Game Fest, IGN summer of games, or something else. Its not needed an event like this.
Show some gameplay + talking, cinematic trailer, MP trailer, and then move on.
You underestimate my thirst for Halo. If they released a four hour video of Joseph Staten recording Grunt lines and noises you'd bet I'd watch the shit out of that... and then watch it another three times.
It should be in the middle somewhere because they need to have more interesting things this gen to start and cap their show. The Xbone showed that Halo isn't enough to sell consoles.
Just because we know it's definitely going to be shown, I'd rather get it out of the way early, my favorite part of these shows is the surprise, so seeing Halo anywhere but the first game of the show it would be a hard end. Though if it is going to be last, I'd hope it's before the "Oh, and one more thing".
Well, it showed that a mediocre Halo isn't enough to sell consoles :P
I thought Sony did pretty well by putting two big guns up front (Spider Man and Ratchet) and two at the end (Demons Souls and Horizon). I'm sure MS will do their own thing but it would be fun to have Halo first and then either Initiative or Playground immediately after, to give that "damn if that was second what's gonna be at the end??" Then close out with either the one you didn't show from Initiative/Playground or a big surprise - global publishing Lost Odyssey 2 goes here ;)
I saw open with it and kick off the show with the a bang. It's the game most Xbox fans want to see right now and we have had such a refreshing break from Halo games there's not a bit of thirst. I'll be happy no matter what.
Just show it quickly so they can move on and show that they have more than a Halo game in store for it.
My take on it is, the game has made two appearances alread, so it should be shown early or first, never before seen stuff should be saved for last (like Playground's RPG).
Last. I can't imagine I will be interested in anything else they do besides Gears so starting with Halo would really be a disappointment for someone looking to be engaged until the end.
Unless Fable is coming, but some small part of me hopes that if they bring it back they won't trap it on a Microsoft console anymore.

It's generally best, to me, for last slots to go to games that are complete surprises, or at least are expected but not confirmed
Halo would be a great opener since we've already seen it. After that we'd need a wild anchor, though
For me personally I'd like to see a Killer Instinct. Or—and follow me here—or a Banjo

I just feel like waiting has led to a decrease in hype surrounding the franchise. Lot of huge Halo fans have moved on from the series. I feel like with the release off MCC on PC, they could have used that time to let some info out to get people hyped up again.
