Unfortunately overall the game feels outdated in its execution with little to recommend when it comes to single player. Multiplayer is where most of the game can be found, but even this gets boring quickly as other games like Battlefield do it better. Halo maybe a big franchise in the past, but it's in need of a serious overhaul if it's going to compete with modern FPS games.… Expand

    Que asco de juego, realmente arruinaron la historia, la experiencia de juego y mataron mis ganas de jugar nuevamente una nueva entrega de ésta franquicia. No entiendo que es lo que hacen 343 con este tipo de propuestas. Entiendo qué quizá sea la agenda progresista como en TLOU2 que también es un fracaso.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After getting past the initial excitement of having the first new Halo title on Xbox One, I can now write an objective review of Halo 5 Guardians.

    Let's start with the good:

    -343 clearly spent a lot of time working on H5's Mulitplayer mechanics/player physics. It feels and plays wonderfully.
    -Warzone is an interesting new game mode that may make Halo 5 have a slightly higher replayability factor.

    That just about covers the positive attributes of Halo 5. Now let's get into the negatives.

    -This is by far the worst and most disappointing campaign in this history of the franchise. Not only does 343i take a radical new approach to how the campaign is played by introducing fireteams, the story itself is boring and each mission feels repetitive and linear. The player never has a solid understanding as to what's going on in the story and the characters are uninteresting, dare to say, unlikable.
    -you would think if 343i decided to take such a dramatic step in the campaign, the least they would do is make sure the AI for each fireteam works and gels well into what the player is trying to accomplish in each mission, but they don't. The AI is troublesome and subtracts far more than they add to the gameplay experience by dying, taking you away from the objective by having to revive them or should the player go down, they seldomly succeed in reviving you. Not to mention, they are not autonomous like a highly trained super solider should be, they require constant orders to be effective when playing on heroic or legendary thereby taking time away from the players ability to focus on completing the mission.
    -the level design is flat out horrible. The doors a player can "Spartan charge" through are not what was portraid in Halo 5's marketing campaign, are misplaced and feel forced into each location. 343i's claim of the open world experience was clearly not implemented properly.
    -the new characters are dull and the re-imagined cortana is not nearly as attractive as she was in Halo 4.

    Bottom line, 343i should be embarassed at what they produced in Halo 5 and Phil Spencer should take a long hard look at what changes need to be made to ensure Halo has a place in the future of the gaming industry.    … 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.

    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

    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 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

    What can I say about a game that feels half finished!

    The biggest change to Halo was to make this game a squad based shooter rather than the more usual lone wolf but the way it was implemented makes your character feel super weak by being taken out easily by minor enemies then needing to rely on the hit and miss (mostly miss) AI to revive you. Story length is shockingly short and    What can I say about a game that feels half finished!

    Story length is shockingly short and made me feel cheated, 343 where is the rest of my campaign!
    I knew that 343 was trying to imitate Bungie but changing Halo story line into the length of Destiny's was not the way to do it!

    The multiplayer warzone was interesting at first but feels gimped by the introduction of micro transaction rec packs.
    If 343 didn't institute the rec pacs and actually let players have fun in the arena then there would have been more reason to come back to the multiplayer but with games like the Division / COD and so on being released and new IP games coming down the pipeline, Halo 5 will go the same way as Halo 4's multiplayer and be totally forgotten by the majority of the player base.

    Most e-sports will over look Halo due to how forgettable it really is which is such a shame as Halo 2/3/reach/odst were all games that held the player base for months and months but that was down to interesting game modes like firefight and regular map packs.

    There is a lot of love for Halo but for the first time that I will be moving Halo from my "must buy pre order" to a "purchase cheap off e-bay / bargain bin purchase" for any future installments.    … Expand

    What Garbage!!!! Its amazing that after several years this is whats produced. There is nothing new here. Nothing.. I mean, really? At the very least mix up the weapons a bit. The same guns on both sides? Sound effects awful.... When I shoot I want to hear BASS not a tin can.

    Rename it, the adventures of Locke.
    Don't call this a Halo Game when you spend 80% of the campaign playing someone we don't care about.
    Halo means Master Chief, not Locke. Complete waste in the campaign.

    This game is actually a good action game but a very bad Halo game. The single player campaign has a very weak story, it have an awful pace and the enemies and final levels are very repetitive and even boring.

    The score would be greater it the game have another name and if the master chief model was changed by any other

    The campaign was long in comparison to Halo 4 but the story was lacking, you spend a majority of the time play as agent Locke who's character can't seem to make up his mind on his personality. I didn't mind Locke overall but I would have liked to have seen more of the Master Chief.

    The movement in the game feels better than Halo 4 and much less mechanical however I am not a fan of the spartan charge ability. It's annoying to come up against and it's annoying to use. Are you going for the assassination but need to sprint to catch up? No assassination spartan charge. It's also far too easy to charge someone knock them back and head shot even if they were shooting as you charged. I don't mind the other abilities, the slam is hard to land as its easily dodged with the thruster back and takes quite a while to charge up during which time you can easily be shot down.
    The multiplayer is a bit of a let down for me the lack of social playlists is a let down as I don't want to constantly play ranked games to enjoy some of the classic game types like slayer and swat. There's at most three social playlists at a time (big team, griffball and whatever the special playlist is at the time). I'd prefer if they brought back team social, social slayer and maybe make some of the new game modes available in unranked playlists. The ranking system also needs something similar to Halo 3's where at most the people in the lobby will be 10 above or below your skill rating as having your rank go down because you got matched with silvers against platinum and diamond players.
    Warzone and the requisition system are my biggest problems with this game. There should be arena specific requisition packs and warzone specific req packs that you can buy with credits not spend your money on. I have little to no interest in constantly getting weapon certifications when I'm looking to get armor. I also can't stand the fact that warzone matches are decided almost entirely by how good your teams late game requisitions are in comparison to the enemy teams. I also hate that you're only informed of a base being captured if you're close enough on the map it's a ridiculous feature that serves no purpose other than for you to go "What when did they get a second base?". I also hate that the legendary bosses can be stolen by the enemy from half the map away with a battle rifle or chaingun or anything that has some range and fires more than one shot rapidly. I'm not sure how they could fix this problem, maybe a zone around the boss that you can damage them from similar to games like smite and league of legends.
    Overall the game isn't bad it's just average. Occasionally you'll have good moments in the multiplayer that'll make you feel like the game is good and you'll have an equal amount of moments where you'll think the game is terrible. The multiplayer is much more enjoyable with friends as when you play with random players you'll quickly learn there's no limit to peoples stupidity. The campaign does very little for the game I played through it alone and with friends and with friends is better but it's still a very average campaign with a slightly lacking story line.    … Expand

    Fairly boring single player. The multiplayer is generally very good, except for one big flaw: their best game mode is essentially pay to win. Other players can pay to have more tanks and better guns more frequently.

    Story:
    -Too much going on at one time, feels like i dont get a break to rest. I felt like i was always shooting something and this go extremely repetitive
    -Felt very confused first time playing and i actually had to research what the story was about. And this is coming from someone who has played all halos and knows story like the back of my hand.
    -Left a huge cliffhanger at the end. I usually dont mind a good cliffhanger but this one felt bad and i wanted to know just a bit more.
    - overall the story was confusing, and felt empty, like something was right. I hated what they did with cortana, not like the halo i know.
    Multiplayer:
    - The mulitplayer is the best out of the whole game but its still not very fun.
    - Multiplayer feels extremely like call of duty and i was left wanting some halo gameplay after every match but never got any.
    - Never got interested in playing the new modes.
    - Never found my self playing too much of the multiplayer and just quit playing after a short time
    Overall this game was very disappointing and i was pretty angry considering i spent $120 on the legendary edition and didnt get much. Wouldn't recommend forking out the money for it but if your interested in the story i would recommend just looking up a play through of it on youtube.    … Expand

    Granted that this game does have some redeeming values that I enjoyed, the bad outweighs the good in Halo 5's situation.

    Being that I've been a fan since the beginning of the franchise and have pledged my loyalty to the saga, I find it necessary to add my thoughts.

    Being that I've been a fan since the beginning of the franchise and have pledged my loyalty to the saga, I find it necessary to add my thoughts. Halo shaped my childhood and I simply cannot let Halo 5 off the hook, nor 343i. I should state that I am no exception when it came to being hyped for this game; I spent quite some time rewatching the trailers and dreaming of its release since the debut at E3 all the way up to my purchase. And I admit, I enjoyed it immensely while I played it... at least, for a little bit. The more I played it, the more I realized how much the game was less and less a 'Halo' game (speaking symbolically of course) and how much more of a money-grinding system was present; aside from putting the player first, it was a cash-grab. The REQ system stole away the player's ability to level up throughout the game's experience and unlock cosmetics as their spartan progressed in ranking. Speaking of experience, any purpose to the XP system is nil. It seems that the only thing XP signifies in this game is the time spent in-game. Which makes me question why the XP Boosts are present, there's no reason for them. And without a proper unlocking system, there's no value in the armor you receive. Instead of "Oh man, that guy's wearing (so 'n so) armor! He must have worked really hard to achieve that" it's "Huh, he's got (so 'n so) armor, he must have got lucky when opening a gold REQ." It destroys a fundamental community aspect that once gave Halo a soul to its fanbase. It hurts me beyond belief and without it, there's no feedback when I play leaving me to lose interest very quickly. It's easier to ignore if you're having fun with friends while playing, but the system still stirs speculative discussion in party chat and makes us long for the old days of Halo when it had so much spirit.

    SPOILERS HERE:
    There's not much I can say about the mediocre campaign that hasn't been said already. I did enjoy it all the way up to the fight with Locke and Chief and, upon further investigation, Master Chief's fighting skills are nothing like they should be. I've read every novel and comic to follow in the Halo lore and Chief is illustrated to be so much faster a bulkier when it comes to combat. So why is he so pathetic here? Locke isn't an exception, either. There are so many illogical scenes in this campaign that it hurts me physically and I hate to see Halo fall so short. Brian Reed either needs to step up his writing game or 343i needs to hire someone else, desperately. For more, just watch The Act Man's 4 (or 5) part video series on why Halo 5's campaign is so bad. There are definite spoilers, so watch at your own discretion.

    That's pretty much it, though. I'd hate to think that 343i won't learn from their mistakes and make Halo 6 better. In fact, the next installation of the series simply must be a masterpiece at this point if 343i wants to redeem themselves. I don't see where they went wrong, the trailers looked so good. But it was sadly all lies :( My theory is that Halo 5 is a filler game to ensure Halo 6's success, considering that it'll apparently be the last time we see Chief in Halo. But hey, whatever happens, happens. Right?    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    Такой охуенный графон я просто в шоке. Этим можно просто брать и обманываться если серьезно в игре нету ничего за что ее можно любить

    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. Music is forgettable, I honestly can't remember any of the music from this game when I try to think of it right now.This is just a bad game.

Music is forgettable, I honestly can't remember any of the music from this game when I try to think of it right now. 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 honestly want to give this game a 0 but it still is Halo so that alone bumps it up to 4 but that being said it doesn't feel like Halo. Nor did Halo 4 but good lord advanced mobility with the sliding, spartan charge, pound and all that nonsense is so lame. Also, SPRINTING DOES NOT AND SHALL NEVER BELONG IN HALO. The beauty of past halo games is that they followed the same mechanics andI honestly want to give this game a 0 but it still is Halo so that alone bumps it up to 4 but that being said it doesn't feel like Halo.

The beauty of past halo games is that they followed the same mechanics and art style. This game abused the franchise even worse than 4 did. The art style makes the Spartans look like power rangers and the elites look like fat morons. The guns look and sound lame. That is not nostalgia talking because loads of games nowadays got great gun sounds but the crime that was perpetrated against the Battle Rifle for example is unforgivable. It looks bad and sounds horrible. Multiplayer is for try-hards and sucks the fun out of couch co-op. SPEAKING OF WHICH, WHERE IS CO-OP. YEAH THATS REALLY REALLY STUPID TO TAKE OUT OF WHAT KICKED OFF THE MULTIPLAYER FROM COMBAT EVOLVED IN THE FIRST PLACE. I really want 343 to do well but recent games have been severely lacking. Please sweet sweet 343 don't mess up Infinite. Also I know this probably won't happen but nonetheless, HIRE MARTY O'DONNELL.… Expand

    Just terrible. If there was a better word in the english language that could submarize the frustration and disappointment this game embodies I'd use it. The campaign is a dumpster fire. The AI teammates are the worst I've ever seen. The lack of creativity is insane when you notice you are fighting the

    I never wanted to or cared to play this game upon release, but recently I figured hey why not try Gambling Simulator 2015. Now that was certainly a mistake for it's impossible to play Gambling Simulator 2015, when you get booted from every game you attempt to play, and by getting booted from every game you get a wonderfully asinine timed ban, thus I know it's late but for anyone seeingI never wanted to or cared to play this game upon release, but recently I figured hey why not try Gambling Simulator 2015.

    I fell in love with the multiplayer, but even that is flawed. The game has yet to see a proper PC release, and the existing one doesn't work as of 2019. From microtransactions to a flawed storyline. Halo 5 failed in so many regards, despite me sinking hundreds of hours into it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. oh my gosh, this game almost single handedly killed the franchise. after the absolute stinker that was halo 4, 343 just showed us that it could be worse. This game not only has the worst multiplayer in halo history, but is also a narrative disaster for the series as a whole. Thank GOD they got their heads almost out of their ass for halo infinite, because if it was as bad as this the franchise would be over.… Expand

    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.

    343s art style is garbage, and somehow their story telling is even worse. This company is incompetent and has tarnished the Halo franchise with botched launches, terrible stories, and just overall rubbish games. After Halo 4, the Halo community expressed frustration with 343, but also optimism that they made some mistakes, but that going forward things would be better.

    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]
