    This game was heavily criticized for not being from BUNGIE but 343 did an excellent job. The online game is fantastic, war zone is the best.

    It diverted a lot from how a Halo game should be. The unlock system was atrocious and the game was overly modernized. However, I still believe Halo 5 is underrated and it accounts for a majority of my fond adolescent gaming memories. It's no Halo 3 or Halo Reach, but it's still a gem.

    Après y avoir joué pendant des années, Halo 5 a était un des meilleurs Halo en multijoueur, un nouveau système de gameplay, bien nerveux comme ont aime,

    La campagne.... Elle était bien, malgré que le major n'était pas assez m'y en valeur, mais bien content d'avoir retrouvé le même système qu'avait Halo 2 avec deux personnages différents.

    What a masterpiece! Industry defining. Halo 5 is one of the most gorgeous and well thought out games that I have played. The missions are designed to perfection. The multiplayer is innovative and exciting. Warzone is fresh. The ost was great!

    A história de Halo 5: Guardians apresenta uma trama mais complexa e ambiciosa, com uma abordagem centrada em múltiplos personagens, incluindo o Master Chief e o agente Spartan Locke. Infelizmente, a narrativa não conseguiu alcançar a profundidade e a emoção dos jogos anteriores da série. As motivações dos personagens e os acontecimentos da trama podem parecer confusos e poucoA história de Halo 5: Guardians apresenta uma trama mais complexa e ambiciosa, com uma abordagem centrada em múltiplos personagens, incluindo o Master Chief e o agente Spartan Locke. Infelizmente, a narrativa não conseguiu alcançar a profundidade e a emoção dos jogos anteriores da série. As motivações dos personagens e os acontecimentos da trama podem parecer confusos e pouco satisfatórios, deixando uma sensação de desconexão e falta de impacto.

    A jogabilidade de Halo 5: Guardians é onde o jogo realmente brilha. Os controles são responsivos e precisos, oferecendo uma experiência de tiro em primeira pessoa suave e agradável. A adição do sistema de sprint e dos ataques corpo a corpo aprimorados trazem novas opções táticas ao combate. Além disso, o jogo introduz a capacidade de mirar e atirar enquanto está em movimento, o que adiciona um elemento de dinamismo aos confrontos.

    O design dos níveis em Halo 5: Guardians é visualmente impressionante, com ambientes variados e detalhados. No entanto, assim como na história, a progressão linear dos níveis pode ser decepcionante para aqueles que esperavam uma experiência mais aberta e exploratória. Ainda assim, o jogo oferece momentos de ação intensa e desafiadora, com a possibilidade de enfrentar inimigos poderosos e utilizar uma variedade de armas e veículos.

    A trilha sonora, novamente composta por Neil Davidge, é competente, mas não consegue alcançar o mesmo impacto emocional e memorável das trilhas sonoras anteriores da série. As músicas se encaixam bem nas cenas de ação, mas não deixam uma marca duradoura na experiência geral do jogo.

    O multiplayer de Halo 5: Guardians é um dos pontos altos do jogo. O modo multiplayer oferece uma variedade de opções, desde partidas competitivas até modos cooperativos, permitindo aos jogadores enfrentarem desafios e competirem com outros jogadores online. A jogabilidade balanceada e os mapas bem projetados proporcionam confrontos empolgantes e estratégicos.    … Expand

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Bien mieux que le dernier !
    J'ai fait toutes la série des Halo et celui-ci est mon préféré.
    Les graphismes sont magnifiques, l'ambiance est géniale et la bande sonore de qualité.
    Le jeu est super bien optimiser, jamais eus de bug.
    Le gameplay et l'un des meilleurs de la série.
    Je l'ai refait plusieurs fois et je ne m'en lasse pas.

    Like 4, 5 was a step in the right direction. Sad to say the gatekeeping OG playerbase couldn't move forward like 343 tried to do.

    The game is decent. With a story campaign that mostly revolves around Locke, Master Chief becomes less relevant.. In all of the past games, besides ODST and Reach, the story revolves around Chief. The gunplay feels okay, but they don't feel beefy and strong like the guns in previous games.

    Campaign may be a little short and end up a little anti-climactic, but it's still good enough to keep you interested and looking forward to the sequel.

    Multiplayer is awesome, tons of quality content here, a lot of game modes that are just fun to play, Warzone is a great idea very well executed and forge is a great way to expand the experience yourself keep playing new stuff everyday.

    The history continues very good, we have a new enemy, (the eternal warden), a enemy worthy of the master chief, a lot of plot twist very good, a short game if you play in the normal difficulty you can end it in 1 day, but is an amazing game

    The same thing happens to me with this game as with Halo 4. I don't understand the hate. The story is pretty good, the character and setting design is wonderful.

    Considering user scores, they’re written by the bots or by the haters, because they are too contrast.
    This game is definitely not so good to be rated with 10, and not so bad to be rated with 0 or 1.

    I’m not a Halo fan and that’s good, because I can evaluate the game without being biased. Basically Halo is some sort of compilation of ideas from other games: Appearance of Master Chief was inspired by Doomguy; locations are very similar with ones from Unreal Tournament; gameplay is also quite similar to UT series and to COD as well.
    Some of the locations also was inspired by recently released games.
    But the problem of Halo that everything in this game is made worse than in the analogs. Weapons design probably the most boring I’ve ever seen in any FPS game. Location design is primitive, character design… well, no comments, I thought it should be aliens, not monkeys. Storytelling… well, even Quake 4 did it better days ago.

    I’m a huge fan of FPS games since 1995, but this game is mediocre in all ways.
    The closest feelings from this game is feelings playing Pariah (2005), same boring experience.

    Concluding: this game is overrated as hell. It has absolutely nothing to be so highly rated.    … Expand

    Negatives:
    The slot machine unlocks are disgusting and hope they never come back to a Halo game. Been playing for years and I only ever unlocked 5 weapons skins from using the unlock system.    … Expand

As I said before the game is not perfect, the story takes some turns that I do not like but I had such a blast playing the campaign over and over, it got me watching youtube videos about the game LORE for months.

    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]
