    They lied about the story and all that remains is a sad joke like, ooh you thought? Hahahaha… no. Ever since Bungie left to make dEsTiNy 1 and poo & 343 took over IT.IS.NOT.HALO

    O jogo decepciona muito aos fãs da franquia, a história não chama atenção e o protagonista não tem o mesmo peso do master chief, o multiplayer é bom mas é desbalanceado e as novas mecânicas de gameplay são muito estranhas e pra mim não agradaram. Apesar de tudo ainda rende umas poucas horas de diversão no começo.

    This is just a bad game. The story is all fluff no substance with tons of shock and awe to no real affect. 90% of the characters are wasted or made worse than they were in the previous game like blue team who feel more like set pieces around chief than his actual friends.

Pacing of the nonexistent story is just all over the place with no real feel of direction or purpose. The reuse of a boss fight 4-5 times is one of many things that shows the laziness behind this game. The gun play while not bad feels weird and not very Halo, there was really no reason to change it like they did. Weapons feel like they have no power and enemies all feel very much the same and uninspired in this game. The level design is the only thing in this game that is cool and fun to look at. I would recommend skipping this games campaign you aren't missing anything. :(… Expand

    I mean don't get me wrong it is a halo game and they are really good but this one it's boring. but it is fun though, it has good graphics and there are lots of Easter eggs but the same time i haven't really finished it.

    Only good thing for awhile is multiplayer. Campaign was horrible, it took me years to finish it, not because it was challenging, but because it was so bad I didn't want to play. They changed a lot of gameplay into what feels like another game entirely.

    the Halo series is based around master chief but in halo's 5 campaign you only get to play as him for 3 missions . then that added the others that follow you around and shout random things . the multiplayer was 343's main focus to get their players to play for all of the loot box type systems, the multiplayer is not all that fun if you don't play with friends.

    The campaign has an absolutely terrible story, relying on you reading the expanded lore, and focusing on too many characters at the same time. The AI is pretty stupid, I never felt like I was about to die in a fight, on top of that, you get a get-out-of-jail-free card, because your teammates revive you after you are knocked down, instead of accepting that you made a    Just bad overall.

The game starts you off in an endgame-like battlefield, rather than slowly showing you the enemies like previous games. I never see any small group of enemies, it's always a huge army. Map design is meh, it has some open areas but it lacks detail, and has a ton of invisible barriers. The only good thing to me would be the weapons, since they are all very well balanced, in previous games I kept using precision weapons because close encounters was almost never a good idea. But here I feel safe using a shotgun or smg, but that would really be the only good thing about the campaign to me.

    The multiplayer is mediocre. It focuses too much on competitive, and at launch it was bare bones. The lack of split-screen is unacceptable and was a terrible decision. Warzone has loot boxes and is pay-to-win, which absolutely sucks. At least the forge is pretty good, since it doesn't limit creativity unlike previous games.    … Expand

    Halo 5 is a mean spirited game.

    At the date of this review, it has been almost 10 years since the launch of 343i first game Halo 4 and the series are on the verge of irrelevancy. Halo 5 is one of the culprits of such damage. The campaign is a miserable, forgettable experience. Famous characters are left aside in favor of 343i original creations, all of which are unmemorable or    Halo 5 is a mean spirited game.

    Halo 5 is one of the culprits of such damage.

    The campaign is a miserable, forgettable experience.
    Famous characters are left aside in favor of 343i original creations, all of which are unmemorable or annoying. The reason behind this decision is most likely greed to either sell new merchandise based on the new characters or to stop paying any form of previous royalty if any, nothing else can excuse the way the titular character Master Chief was sided.

    What could had been an impressive visual direction was soiled by unnecessary lightning effects and flares that make the game look like an eyesore at all times. Prepare to use sunglasses if you ever play this abomination.

    The story is stupid to say the least, previous characters are handled poorly to give new characters a chance to shine but that chance is wasted as all new characters are unappealing and lack the charisma to carry on the plot. Mercifully, you can sprint for most of these levels, sadly over 80% of the game is about these new reprehensible characters.

    Every character, enemy and NPC is over designed to the point they are unrecognizable which is a huge mistake in a FPS. Prepare to confuse enemies a lot.

    The music pales in comparison to Martin O’Donnell original score for the franchise but still the only saving grace of this game.

    The multiplayer modes are heavily monetized and the game insist on a pay to win model on top of the price of entry which is unforgivable for any game and a larger insult for a franchise like Halo. I sincerely feel sorry for anyone who pre-ordered this game.

    While the game is on itself competent, if it was an original entry on a new franchise I would say the game is mediocre at best but as a new Halo entry or even worse a system seller, Halo 5 is a grievance.

    4 out of 10 still feels generous.    … Expand

    Halo, muita gente “gava” esse jogo como se fosse o melhor do mundo. Eu baixei, entrei e comecei a jogar, digamos que foi um dos maiores arrependimentos que eu fiz em toda a minha vida. Eu creio que a empresa tinha recursos suficientes para melhorar o gráfico e a “ideia” do jogo.

    Em quesito de jogabilidade, está ótimo. A interação das armas são boas, mas apenas isso, mais nada.

    The campaign is far to short and doesn't deliver on the promises brought by the promotional material in which it was made out as if Locke and Master Cheif were going to have some epic battle. The revival mechanic which is ripped directly from gears of war worsens the gameplay and is poorly executed, couple this with special attacks that the player can do and it makes the story mode far too easy, also the plot is just a complete mess what with cortona being brought back without a given reason as to why.

    The only reason as to why I haven't given the game a lower rating is because of the multiplayer which is okay though not nearly as good as what we were given in previous installments.    … Expand

    I've played all the Halo games, from 1 to 5, ODST and Reach.
    We did countless games with split-screen (even online) and also LAN parties.
    We loved Halo! Halo 4 was somehow different, but still "aligned" with past games. Imho Halo 4 had the best gameplay, but it was probably too fast compared the other halos (everyone having sprint ability make the game totally different) Then Halo 5    I've played all the Halo games, from 1 to 5, ODST and Reach.

    Imho Halo 4 had the best gameplay, but it was probably too fast compared the other halos (everyone having sprint ability make the game totally different)

    Then Halo 5 came:
    Pros:
    - good/decent graphics;
    - 60fps is nice;

    Cons:
    - campaign plot is bland, flood are completely forgotten and overall now everything is switched to a generic sci-fi game. Bad. Really bad.

    - no split-screen. It explain itself. On Xbox One MS even removed the led indicators telling you which of the 4 players you are. MS is clearly yelling "PLAY ALONE"... to a big community who liked split-screen!

    - WORST auto-aim ever seen: impossible to disable. The feeling is totally different from any previous Halo game or ANY OTHER fps! It's incredible how BAD they made aiming! Even more... coming from the background of other 5/6 Halo games with perfect aiming!!
    Once you get used to it the game is too easy! Like they wanted to remove the player ability to "flatten" the win/death ratio. So a new and unskilled player can overcome pro players. Totally BAD decision here.
    You might play for 30 seconds, feel the auto-aim, and think "WTF is this!?", and uninstall the game!

    - online matchmaking is worse than MCC (incredible!). There is a store to buy weapons&stuff... bad. Really bad.
    A small example, once you "unlock" a vehicle in an online match (by scoring points in game or by buying cards outside the game... LOL) you SPAWN directly inside a vehicle!!! WTF is this!
    On every other Halo you FIND a vehicle and start piloting it! Fighting to get it!
    Halo 5 is for... smartphone users!!

    Everything is done with the "how can we piss of Halo fans the most?" motto.

    Microsoft/343i managed to ruin the only good exclusive game they had.
    I did buy Xbox One only because my 360 died and i had hopes for Halo 5.
    They managed to make MCC with countless problems ("ruining" past good games) and Halo 5 without splitscreen and every other crazy stuff.
    The 343 official forum is a "hen-house" where only the blind 343 fan manage to stay... gloating about everything 343 do, mindlessly.
    Other users which try to use the brain and give their opinion ends up BANNED!
    So the forum is "cleansed" by the problems! 343i is just burying the problems. Genius move!

    Then there is still that aberrant "Halo Channel" app that even LAGS by barely navigating the UI alone!!!
    It can't play any video, and the rare times when it works the video is in low quality!

    343i tried to convert Halo in a "show" with Tv serials and other low quality stuff.... for bored people!

    Everybody loved Halo from 1 to 3 , ODST and Reach. Those games will be remembered!
    I liked Halo 4, but it had its problems... maybe...

    Halo 5? It is ALREADY forgotten.
    That's the result of over-milking and turning a good franchise in a trash-show for avidity.

    Halo was the ONLY chance Microsoft had to make interesting buying an Xbox.

    Halo 5 where to begin, false advertising led us to think the story was going to involve a big confrontation with the Chief going rouge, but instead it was only one short lived moment with everyone figuring out that he hadn't very early on, secondly the return of Cortana through a vison the chief had somehow and that's totally out of place in halo and the chiefs reaction to this visionHalo 5 where to begin, false advertising led us to think the story was going to involve a big confrontation with the Chief going rouge, but instead it was only one short lived moment with everyone figuring out that he hadn't very early on, secondly the return of Cortana through a vison the chief had somehow and that's totally out of place in halo and the chiefs reaction to this vision seems to be completely unrealistic and unreasonable.

    Like Halo 4 343 continued their assault on the past art style and seek'd to change the look of everything from the past halo games despite clear fan displeasure for their changes.

    Gameplay: 343 has clearly looked at titan fall and thought lets give the player all those abilites because that's fun in that game, but it breaks yet further the balance and flow of combat in the both the single and multiplayer game mode.

    Forge was added long after launch and can only be used if you have Xbox live gold because apparently its unacceptable to save your maps on the console and they must be on the cloud.

    Multiplayer warzone in fun but pay to win has been introduced to the game and 343 basically told fans the shut up they know what is best.    … Expand

    Too bold for its own good. Feels like it’s gotten way too far from the first 3 games in terms of campaign as well as multiplayer. The story feels empty. Too many characters and not enough development. Side note: when are they going to stop changing Cortanas face...

When you did encounter AI soldiers, like the marines, they were comically bad and almost immediately died. You would giggle and move on. In Halo 5 you have squadmades constantly squawking in your ear to revive them, and they never go away. You might think, "okay so if I hook up another controller and play split screen, I don't need to listen to these idiots?" You would be incorrect, because this game doesn't have split screen. You literally need to have a separate Xbox One and separate TV for each player, plus an internet connection because the game doesn't even support LAN.

    They've also ruined the gameplay by introducing climbing and dodging mechanics. Please stop, that doesn't belong in Halo.

    So you get it, they've ruined the ethos and interactivity of the game. But what about the story? Oh, that's rubbish too.    … Expand

    I don't quite remember the last time a game disappointed me this badly. Look, I've enjoyed the "Halo" series thus far. I've given each of the first 4 games at least an 8/10 on my scale ("Halo 3" even earned a 10/10 from me), and I even enjoyed "Halo 4" quite a bit, even though a lot of the fanbase doesn't. So, even though I heard many mixed opinions about "Halo 5: Guardians" before playingI don't quite remember the last time a game disappointed me this badly. Look, I've enjoyed the "Halo" series thus far. I've given each of the first 4 games at least an 8/10 on my scale ("Halo 3" even earned a 10/10 from me), and I even enjoyed "Halo 4" quite a bit, even though a lot of the fanbase doesn't. So, even though I heard many mixed opinions about "Halo 5: Guardians" before playing it, I was nevertheless excited to give it a go...but wow, was it a disappointment. I didn't want to give it this low a score, and I even sat on this for a few days, but seriously, this game disappointed me hard.
    Now, that's not to say the game does absolutely nothing right, because trust me, it does some things right. For starters, as per "Halo" tradition, the aesthetic elements are sharp. The visuals are great, the voice acting is strong, and the music is your typical "Halo" stuff. Beyond that, the gunplay in the game has been changed up a good bit: though controversial, the ability to aim down sights and the addition of the run button tightens things up a bit and feels like a welcome addition.
    However, even that is something I can criticize, because to be completely honest, the addition of those features make the game, to me, feel like just your typical bog-standard FPS title. They're decent additions, but they're not all that special, and the fact that the campaign adds multiplayer-like elements that even occur when you're in single player (like asking teammates to revive you and "joining/exiting a game") just feels totally awkward. But I know what you're thinking: I'm probably giving this game a low score because of how insulting the story is and because of the false advertising and anti-climactic nature of it all. And sure, those are definitely problems, and I was rather pissed that Chief was only playable for a short portion of the game, but honestly, the story wasn't even the part of the game that insulted me the most: it was the gameplay! This was honestly the most "hands-off" "Halo" game that I've played: there's sections of the game where I don't even need to kill enemies, I can just blow right through them by running and jumping! Wasn't the point of the previous games to kill the enemies so that you can advance forward in the game? Now I don't have to even kill most of them? What kinda game design is that? And speaking of game design, this game has 15 missions (so yeah, pretty short). Why is it that some of those missions only require you to talk to someone, talk to another person, and then move to the next mission? Those shouldn't count as their own missions! That just sounds like some cheesy way to artificially bloat out the game's length! Oh, but don't worry, all those sections where they made you keep your guns down, run through enemies, and do nothing at all are offset by bosses that are overpowered, completely generic, and often times recycled. I felt while playing this that, whatever "gaming intelligence" I had (and I don't even think I have very much), was honestly insulted by this game.
    I didn't think I would dislike "Halo 5: Guardians" this much, but yikes, this one was bad. I honestly can't recommend it unless you're one of the most die-hard of "Halo" fans and you just HAVE to experience it. Unless you need your "Halo" fix, or you're like me and wanted to play the games before "Halo Infinite" releases next year, I can't in good conscience tell you that this game is worth your time. Just skip it and find other enticing shooters, because there are plenty of them out there.

    It´s the worst Halo. If you are not a hardcore fan, maybe you will enjoy it. The campaign has a terrible story, with characters that are not developed, and it destroys the awesome story H4 accomplished. The gameplay is generic, taking off what makes Halo unique, level design is ridiculous linear, killing the sandbox. The only merits are the graphics.

It's story is terribly written and they attempted to write out it's main character to introduce another. 343i seemed to think that it's player base wouldn't care for lack of Chief, but it did. 3 missions with Chief and 12 with Locke, Soo much fun. The game also had one of the best marketing scheme's out there to hype the game and get players ready.... Too bad that fell hard on it's face and wasted hours of players times. None of the marketing comes into play, even Hunt the Truth. The multiplayer was ok, though the overall first impression showed that Microsoft wants back in the Mlg Scene and that completely ruined the mp on launch for me.

    Visual wise it’s an absolute mess. It’s hard to tell enemy ranks apart, and sometimes even different enemy species apart. Most of the vehicles and armor look like they were designed for the 14 year old Mountain Dew guzzler demographic while completely smashing established lore and canon.
    I guess the point I’m dancing around is that this just doesn’t FEEL like a Halo game; it’s lost everything that made it different and special, all of it replaced with a generic and predictable plot filled with bland and unlikable characters.
    Had this game been made with something other than a Halo skin slapped over the top of it I would probably have enjoyed it a lot more, but as it stands it’s frankly an insult to the previous trilogy of games.
    If they could somehow combine the story and lore of Halo 3 with the mechanics of Halo 5 it would be the best Halo game ever made, hands down.

    It just seems like they're just trying to milk the licence as much as they can now without thinking about the fan base. if they actually made a great game people wouldn't mind the micro transactions as much. if you're going to make a half made game and make the focus of the game its multiplayer mode even tho the franchise is known for its amazing story and lore not to mention its amazing gameplay. You're not benefiting your own company or the fan base surrounding it. Take your time even if you need to keep pushing the release dates forward, do not bring out a game that isnt ready, if you think this game was finished and this is what they had or have in mind for future halo titles.

Honestly 343, what the hell happened? Now the multiplayer is a little conflicted. 343 tried a little too hard to be competitive and as a result we lost a lot of casual fun. Instead of armor abilities, every player has dash, spartan charge, and ground pound, which makes for a more fast paced game-play. Game modes like Warzone were very experimental and fun but 343 decided to monetize the weapon sandbox for it. Forge was incredible. 343 really outdid themselves. It was easily the best forge we've ever gotten in a Halo game, also THANK YOU 343 FOR ADDING A CUSTOM GAME BROWSER!!! The maps and gun-play are pretty dang good and 60 fps game-play makes for some fast paced fun, but it just doesnt feel like Halo to me. Also theater is an absolute joke. So many glitches in the theater I'll probably never use it. Overall the campaign is trash, the multiplayer is fun, and I WOULD give this game a 7/10. But there is something keeping me from doing that. 343 did something that pissed me off so much I have to give this a 6.5/10. They removed split-screen co-op. A feature that had been in every Halo game before it and is one of my favorite things about the franchise. The ability to play with your friends on the same xbox and on the same TV was gone, all so they could sell more xbox's and charge you for xbox live. Thankfully 343 listen to the outrage and Halo Infinite is going to have split-screen. Overall grade: 6.5/10.… Expand

    ▪ Important things have to be shown in cutscenes and not told from characters as exposition (flashbacks and flashforwards do exist you know! How the hell did Cortana turn evil?)
    ▪ In general: characters who have conflicts in the story have to get a juicy background to ensure fights deliver struggle.
    ▪ All the characters: not enough interaction through each other. The dialogue is pretty bad: most of it was just useless banter and rarely did any character say anything of actual importance that gave us an insight into their character. These characters are irrelevant to the story: Vale, Tanaka, Buck (although he adds fun lines), Fred, Linda, Kelly, the Arbiter (he's there to get Sanghelios free from the Covenant, but that doesn't have anything to do with the story ), the Covenant (what are they up to in the first mission? - they're on their last stronghold on Sunaion just to justify the Arbiter presence in the game), Prometheans and Warden (they're there just to be shot, they spawn a little time before a Guardian awakens and start killing people), Meridian people (I can't see why I should care about them), Lasky+Palmer are there just because the Infinity is the Osiris ship.
    ▪ Blue Team (Fred, Kelly and Linda): Characters have to be introduced IN THE GAME, I just played another Halo chronological marathon to try understand Halo 5 only with the information held in the games - because playing the games without reading the expanded material is what most of the fans do - but it is actually impossible. I know who they are and I love them because I read "Fall of Reach" but a fan who didn't read it doesn't know anything about their awesomeness and will never love them as me!
    ▪ Vale and Tanaka: you need to show more of them, why did they decide to become spartans? What are their motivations? We just know Vale knows a lot about Elites and Tanaka is a technician, nothing more.
    ▪ Jul'mdama: What was he doing in the 1st mission? What should players know about him if they didn'play Spartan Ops? what about the Janus Key?
    ▪ Locke: he's been introduced in "Nightfall" (I saw it), he had to be introduced in the game, and his fighting and stealth skills too! In Nightfall we can see he is an ONI agent who is sent in the most dangerous missions but in Halo 5 he looks empty, he rarely talks to the other characters (as almost every character) so you can't learn anything about him or his relationship with the other characters, and in every fight Osiris just runs into enemies! Is that really how a stealth ONI assassin would lead his Spartan team? How are we supposed to get connected with him that way? The only characters who work well if they almost never speak are the Rookie and Noble 6 because you don't see their face, so you "Imagine to be them", so whereas Locke is intended to be a character with huge background he's not a good character if his motivations and abilities are not shown in the game.
    ▪ Guardians: we know from Cortana's exposition that the Guardians are very powerful Forerunner constructs that were used by them to rule the galaxy, but we never see their power! The game is called "Halo 5: Guardians" and we see just one of them EMPing a planet at the end of the game, nothing more...
    ▪ The Warden Eternal: as the Guardians there is not enough shown of his story, we know from what he says that he's the protector of the Domain, and he serves Cortana because she's now in control of it. How did Cortana and the Warden meet? What is the Warden story during the Forerunner era? Did he know the Didact?

    ▪ The Arbiter: everything about him changed (in my language that is italian they also had to change his dubber because the previous one died... but the new one doesn't resemble him in any way… the only good thing is the armor because it hides his wrong jaws. Then is behaviour is also a lot more aggressive than Halo 2/3 and he screams a lot!
    ▪ Halsey: did she want revenge against UNSC and ONI or am I wrong?
    ▪ Lasky and Palmer: they are Captain and Commander, but they actually don't command anyone... and there is not much of them that helps the player caring about them
    ▪ Roland: he's actually in the story because of what?
    ▪ Exuberant: only good new character, she serves the "Guardians builders" (I don't know their name in english, in italian they are "i Costruttori") and her installation is Genesis, that is the planet where Guardians are built. It is enough for her because she isn't in conflict with anyone in the story.
    ▪ Buck: he's ok, but he has no influence in the story.
    ▪ Chief: after Halo 4 I though we would see more emotions from him... he turned from a static to a dynamic character in Halo 4, and in Halo 5 he just "goes awhole" and tries to take her home.
    ▪ Cortana: Died at the end of H4 and she just reappeared OP and wants to rule the universe. WTF happened?    … Expand

    Straight trash, Halo 5 is the worst in the series, by far, 343 doesn't know to make a good Halo.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a honest train wreck. Its good if you need some xbox one bloat ware. As its only now has been balanced and finalized. After 9+GB's of space for updates. Yes updates and also yes there is a micro transaction system. Which is fitting as the company that funded this trash is Micro-Soft.

    There are so many improvements that could have been made.

    The issues are :

    -Cliff Hanger ending
    -Poorly executed cut-sceen choreography
    -A story reduced to filler.
    -still lack of split screen.
    - Depreciated by about 50%
    -Takes up a estimated 87 GB of Hard drive space.
    -Requires a 720p or higher definition to look good.
    -Also the World Record for speed running the game on easy is close to about an hour and the legendary speed run is about only an 1 hr and half. Only about 20-30 minutes longer.(Falling short of 343i's promise. Of the game being longer than Halo 2.) To break it down a decent FPS gamer should beat the game on easy or normal in 3-4 hours. Heroric or legendary maybe a little longer.    … Expand

    Halo 5: Guardians is okay. Its campaign is rubbish, but the multiplayer is solid thanks to the foundation it’s built upon. Warzone is a really enjoyable experience, and while combat is still mostly about tossing grenades and hitting the melee button, the whole Requisition gimmick adds some much-needed flavor to proceedings.

    The latest Halo is a big deal only for hardcore Halo fans. For me the single player campaign was unbearably pompous and despite 1080p and 60 fps the visuals are not as breathtaking as they once were in Halo 4. The game builds a solid foundation for Halo 6, but it’s not one of those games you absolutely have to play. [13/2015, p.48]

    With a more accessible and engaging story and solid new designs for the Prometheans, Halo 5 is a major improvement over Halo 4. Warzone is a great addition to the multiplayer, though the mode seems to have some game balance issues. [Nov 2015]
