    Campaign is lacking. Very solid online play though with good gunplay & very rare lag. Great team play game if you can find people that actually use microphones. Main FPS I've been playing. Beat out the others.

    The latest Halo is truly a nod to the hardcore lore fans. If you haven't read the Forerunner trilogy by Greg Bear then some of what is happening will confuse you.

    Halo 5: Guardians is neither amazing or a colossal failure. Where it does not excel in any particular way it does improve on many things that people did not like about Halo 4.

Where it does not excel in any particular way it does improve on many things that people did not like about Halo 4. The addition of the thruster pack adds a new style of fluid movement for players and the new game mode Warzone is very fun to play, assuming you have friends to tag along for the ride or other players are using headsets. Arena is fun but the map rotations feel off and could use some tweaking. The campaign is nothing amazing but it does offer four to seven hours of game play depending on the difficulty you choose.

    Multiplayer:

    The thruster pack makes the game seem similar, as far as movement is concerned, to games like Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare or in a smaller aspect, TitanFall. Fans of Unreal Tournament will also enjoy the addition of the new movement style for Halo as it allows players to have the ability to dodge attacks, move quickly around the map, and even allow for some flashy vehicle kills. Destiny players will feel at home if they play as a Titan as well as the ground pound, and dash melee are replicas of the Titans arc super and shoulder smash ability.

    Warzone is very fun and a great addition to the series. Similar to Big team Battle as far as map size and the idea of two large teams going head to head, it adds objectives around the map as well as bases to capture and a larger home base to destroy for each team. Players can also choose to play in the other version of Warzone which just pits the teams together without the AI changing things up. The new Req system, although obnoxious as it is to add microtransactions in a AAA title, are not overbearing and are subtle at best. They add a new element to multiplayer and the system allows for players to experiment with different play styles while enjoying Warzone. Thankfully, they are on a tier system, similar to MOBA upgrades, so you can't just unlock a scorpion or a banshee right away or use an energy sword from the get go.

    Arena feels very balanced and well designed and although I spend most of my time in Warzone, have enjoyed it for the relatively small amount of time that I have spent in it, about 8 hours or so. The power weapons are displayed on your HUD alongside their timers, allowing players to spot them easily and contest them for map domination. Teamwork is essential, as it has always been in the series and lone wolves should steer clear of their habits as the health system is punishing, should you decide to go alone against the entire enemy team. Shields replenish only when moving at normal speed. Any kind of boosting, sprinting, or even charging the thrusters for a ground pound will hold the yellow bar in place until you cease these actions and allow your shields to recharge. For me personally, this system is great because it encourages players to stick with their team and play intelligently.

    Campaign:

    The campaign is lackluster. The marketing campaign did a very good job of making players think one thing and the developers delivered another. The hunt for truth by itself was an amazing idea but the game gives a different experience. I won't go into too much detail about the campaign's story but the gameplay is what saves this game for the most part. You will forget the characters, your play time with Chief will be short, and Locke is not a note worthy character in my opinion. He feels very shallow and the voice actor did not go to great lengths to deliver an outstanding performance, however, Halo is an FPS first, and a great sci fi epic second and I do not expect to be given a novel worthy story in this style of video game, but it is appreciated when developers do deliver a great story experience because not every gamer is in it for the multiplayer.

    The story will also require some reading and back story searching to fully understand who the characters are and why certain events have happened. The animated series, The Fall of Reach is helpful in this aspect, as well as having read the Forerunner saga of novels. One can also simply google the characters and read their small biographies that players have posted online.

    The game is beautiful and extremely fun to play online. The campaign will last you a day at most depending on your schedule and is something that is best played with friends, sadly there is no couch co-op so players should be warned before buying if that is a feature they expect to have. The story isn't great but it is also not terrible but the multiplayer has re-earned my faith in this series and I look forward to playing it for a long time.

    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

    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.

Its seems once again 343 have focussed more on the Multiplayer instead of the campaign which is a shame. The whole Locke hunting Master Chief was such an interesting concept but they did fail to deliver. Also the levels do not seem as expansive/large as previous Halos.

    There is no denying Halo 5 is a great game, you will have a lot of fun playing the game, the missions are great and the ending sequence is fantastic, and the cliffhanger is incredible by setting Halo 6 for a massive finale. Online multiplayer is also much better than Halo 4 which is a plus.

    +The co-op with friends is a lot of fun.
    +The game can be challenging at times and makes it all the better when you beat the level.
    +Online offers a lot of more game modes, Breakout, War zone and a little more.
    ~The campaign was good, but didn't offer what I thought it would.
    ~The main source of game play is still basically still point and shoot, and duck behind cover when you are injured. The game does offer more then it did before, but still points to point and shoot.
    -The advertising focused WAY to much on Locke hunting Chief which the campaign did not really offer that much on it.
    -Where the heck are the Halo's?
    -The campaign was way to short.
    -The game doesn't offer much other then the campaign and multi player which could be a make or break for you.
    -The multi player can be like banging your head against the wall.
    Now like I said this is the best FPS I have played in years. But I will look past my nostalgia and say that if you liked Halo or want to try it out, this game would be a good sequel or a good place to start. But if you don't like FPS that much, or don't like Halo this game will probably not carry it for you, wait for Halo 6, if you want a game that will offer a lot more then this.

    Awesome game, the campaign sucks but the multiplayer is awesome and the graphics are really good too.

PS never will become more important than gameplay. If the gameplay is a boring chore or utter **** we don't care how good your game looks or runs worth a dam. Then to add insult to injury, Master Chief and Blue Team are the minority players, as your stuck playing Locke the majority of the time, just to get a slap in the face **** cliffhanger ending for Halo 6. Get the PC version Halo 5 Forge, a superior version with better multiplayer features and give this sordid campaign a pass, with high expectations for Halo 6, now featuring split screen again, to reclaim Halo's status as the king of FPS shooters.

Warzone modesHalo 5 brings to the Xbox One experience one of the best designed, balanced, comprehensive, and innovative competitive shooter experiences ever built. Halo 5's competitive Arena and Warzone modes, along with the upcoming Warzone Firefight mode, provide players with what many consider the best Halo since Halo 2, and a challenger for best shooter of current game generation. Warzone modes provide the challenging excitement of a hybrid PVE/PVP experience, with the dynamics of objective and map control. The Arena modes (including Big Team Battle, Slayer, SWAT, among others) provides the classic Halo action we have always expected.
    Even though the Campaign mode suffered from weak characters and a story that was, at times, hard to follow (due to heavy emphasis on the lore and expanded canon), Halo 5 is redeemed by an excellent Forge Mode, excellent Competitive Shooter modes, the innovative Warzone modes, a year's worth of FREE DLC and content expansion, as well as the release of Warzone Firefight in late 2017.
    Halo 5: Guardians is a testament to the capacity of 343 Industries to develop an excellent multiplayer competitive experience, since the mixed reviews of Halo 4. Even though story delivery and character development were among its weaker elements, the incredible effort and support that has gone in to its multiplayer elements, make Halo 5 an experience worth being part of and a candidate for one of the best shooters built.

    I've played EVERY main Halo game. Other than ODST and Reach, this is my favorite single-player Halo. Combat is fast-paced. Graphics are gorgeous. Your AI teammates are actually useful when you need to be healed. There are only 2 downsides I can think of: 1) The story is a bit weak, but I wasn't expecting much after Halo 4, and 2) I wish there were more missions with airships and battle tanks.

They are expected to clean enclosures every day. They look for any signs of injuries or illness in the animals, and in the case of sickness or injury, the keeper is responsible for contacting a veterinarian, and sometimes a zookeeper will assist a veterinarian in a medical procedure.

    Some zookeepers train the animals to make caring for them easier. For example, a zookeeper can train an elephant to lift their feet so that a veterinarian can check them more easily.[4] Some zookeepers are responsible for informing an audience, in an exhibit or presentation, about certain types of animals and their behavioral characteristics. They also talk about experiences with the animal, and answer questions. The keeper is also responsible for lecturing the visiting public on how to behave responsibly toward the exhibited animals.

    Depending on the zoo structure, keepers may be assigned to work with a broad group of animals, such as mammals, birds, or reptiles, or they may work with a limited collection of animals such as primates, large cats, or small mammals.

    The multiplayer is very well done - but I lack Firefight (Halo Reach) and Spartan-OPS (Halo 4) because I like PvE games (Destiny). I can only recommend Halo 5 - an incredible experience.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I got late into Halo, and I think it's (still) the best FPS franchise by far.
    It has the best weapon sandbox, with lots of really distinct, satisfying and useful weapons. The choice of your loadout or which power weapon to choose is constantly adapting to your skill and match conditions.
    It has a perfect learning curve, where there's always something more to learn and achieve, and where's there's room for both new and old players - sometimes even in the same game (in warzone casual players can help the team A LOT by chasing AI if provided with some instructions, while more experienced players can do base and enemy control). Plus the campaign can serve as a fantastic training ground, as it's big, enjoyable in coop and can be approached in many ways.
    It has the best support and economy model by far. All new maps and modes are free, and the map editor allows the community cooperate with the dev team in providing to everyone new maps every week. The range of multiplayer activities is staggering - and it's amazing we can still find quickly players close to our level in matchmaking in most modes 2 years after launch. How was this financed? With a 'loot card' system which is generous (you get packs very frequently without paying), and provides a mix of cosmetic items and satisfying "going wide" options which do not affect most of the game modes and even in warzone they don't offer significant advantage. Knowing that a lot of the requisition pack income goes to the esport rewards makes us paying for them out of goodwill, never out of necessity.
    Technically, it has solid 60fps under any conditions (very few other games achieve that). Plus the 4k update is really elevating the experience. The art direction is really unique and sets the game apart.
    While there are missteps in the story delivery (it was really hard for me to understand what's happening when I started with Halo 5), it's the only FPS in which we genuinely care what will happen next and I genuinely care about multiple sides of the conflict, as they have their reasons. (spoilers: ) What will happen with Professor Anders and the Guardian, and how will the AI revolt evolve?
    Most importantly, Halo from the first to the last game understands it's a game and prioritises gameplay over everything. No frustrating blurry camouflaged snipers, no tons of similar historically semi-accurate weapons you cannot distinguish one from another when in the hands of your enemy. A wide palette and wide imagination make it primarily a colourful sport.
    The movement, while debated by purists, strikes a perfect balance into being fast & smart but elevating instead of cancelling map knowledge. Dash-dodging and Spartan charging are tense tactical options, each with its own risks. That said, I would remove a couple of options to make the game a bit more accessible and to leave room for new additions (assassinations, for example, while cool, don't add anything tactical to the game and that's why you never see them in high level play). The radar is tactical but not overpowered, most of the action is what you see in the main screen, not the radar mini-game.
    The lack of split screen keeps it short of a 10, but 343 promised it for the next instalment.

    Couple of complaints like how 343 lied and made you think the story was gonna be like the trailers, the story itself had a good plot but weak overall (probably worst story out of the halos) now its graphics are solid and the gameplay itself is funny fun. Multiplayer gameplay is AMAZING its just the lack of content and story drops it a few points.

I traded my PlayStation 3 for an xbox 360 just so that I could get halo 3 I loved halo 3 its hands down one of the best games I have ever played no game will ever bring that level of fun ever again I remember it like it was just yesterday sitting around with my friends cracking out on halo 3 making gameplay videos and creating new game types and maps with forge and finishing the epic fight in the campaign! and then when reach came out dude life was gone I swere to god I didn't see daylight for at least 2 years! and then later we got halo 4 and I HATED IT! I thought the halo fun was only a memory but halo 5 looked promising as they wanted to make it feel like the older games and make some serious additions to multiplayer so I jumped back in for this halo. now first things first story mode. ok listen its not that halo 5 story mode is bad because its not its a solid shooter campaign with fun fast paced action. well its a little to fast as the game is only about 4 to 5 hours on average wtf! and also the games marketing crew wanted us to think that there was some fight against an old crazy master chief it sounded badass but there is nothing like that in the game instead without any reason they say chief is nuts and you playing as locke your mission is to capture chief and bring him back to a generic tron space looking building. the story is lame and it makes no sense at all. but playing the game co-op style with a friend should be more fun and the game is intended to be like that because Microsoft wants more money so they took out split screen multiplayer so that people have to buy multiple copys of the game along with multiple xbox one units this business decision is dirty and its strait wallet rape nobody should have to pay 1000$ to play halo 5 with there **** friends halo is a community expirence its always been about having a beer or smoking a bowl and playing halo with your best friends this is criminal and takes away any way for sentimental value with halo 5 like we had with halo 1 2 3 reach and even 4! so any ways single player has mixed reviews some people like some people don't so what about multiplayer. well multiplayer is a completely different story listen up people this just might be the best halo multiplayer ever its split up into 2 main modes arena and warzone now arena is all of the base modes halo is known for gamemodes like slayer, team snipers, big team battle, swat, capture the flag, assault and grifball all of witch play well and are super fun and it all comes with a great leveling system for every player I mostly play arena but if you want something really new and interesting warzone is the way to go its like a cross between strongholds and big team battle only it can go up to 30 players and you can spawn weapons vehicles and more you will have to work with your team to take over each massive map. now what I really like about halo 5 is the style of gameplay there are so many ways to get kills its gonna make your head spin you can Spartan charge into an enemy causing them to black out and die you can use one of the many guns including new ones like the plasma caster witch launches plasma grenades or the new overpowerd magnum or you can use ground slamming or you can throw a grenade in a mosh pit of people fighting and get a cluster luck kill were a bunch of people die at once from your 1 grenade these things are so satisfying and it makes halo fresh again making it a far superior shooter to most of the games on the market. another thing they did was bring forge back and its better then ever people have literally recreated classic maps like last resort and they look good you can build change and warp anything you want however you want I love the freedom this game offers! in conclusion halo 5 is dope the single player is sometimes good sometimes bad but its still cool for 1 playthrough just make sure you have xbox live gold so that you can play the multiplayer thos game will never hold up to the first 3 games but its the best halo sense halo 3 and that makes me happy I cant wait to see what they bring for halo 5 in the next few years until halo 6 comes out the final score is a very heavy 8 out of 10 its not perfect but its really fun and in the end that's why we play video games if you have an xbox one pick this one up.

    I thoroughly enjoyed Halo 5. There were some missteps, such as the fact the campaign could have been longer and it's clear this game is setting up Halo 6.

    This game looks, sounds and plays AMAZING! Anyone who rated this as negative needs to go back and replay the campaign and attempt the online to see that this game is the best Halo PERIOD. Anyone give it a negative review either doesn't own the game or played it for one sitting like the "PRO" reviewers.

    I'm a huge fan of the series from the start. I don't really liked the 4th installment of Master Chief's journey, but with this episode I'm overly pleased. The story is a good prequel for the next game, the multiplayer was never so exciting. The hate just only comes from mindless people.

    Halo 5 does the impossible: Made me love Multiplayer again. The campaign is story driven and leads to somewhere, and it leads directly into Halo 6 without cutting off with a cliff hanger. The advertisements really only told the first 1/3 of the story, and once you get passed mission 5 the story moves away from Master Chief vs Locke and into a more overall universe story.

    THIS REVIEW COMES FROM AN EXPERIENCED HALO FRANCHISE PLAYER

    Advantages:
    - Beautiful graphics and level designs
    - Amazing amounts of armor customization in multiplayer
    - New game modes that may entertain some
    - Entertaining to play (regardless of the poor story)
    - Cool cut scenes

    Disadvantages:
    - MICRO-TRANSACTION IN MULTIPLAYER WTF 343. THE **** YOU DOING
    - Poor story
    - You play more Locke then the main protagonist himself
    - From where you are with a set of 3 other characters in the campaign, you get lower health thus get taken down easier, and when the other Spartans AI are as poor as the grunts suicidal run it is abysmal.
    - Small story, think it was around 16 missions? (I did not check for specific)

    Overall, I would say the game is a good buy if you are in it for the multiplayer, as, like all Halos, it is fun and entertaining to play. However, if you want to play the single player only avid Halo fans should find it interesting (like myself) as it is quite dull and I think new members to the franchise should defiantly start their halo experience with a different Halo campaign.

    343 did a lot of things right in their new addition to the Halo saga. The gameplay has never been this refreshing. The action and pacing is much faster and the game doesn't suffer for it. It has been by far some of the most fun Halo I've played in a long while. While Halo 5 did a lot of things right, the biggest disappointment was the Campaign's story. It made the mistake of drawing to much information from Halo's Expanded Universe, a lot of it being from the books, comics, and series.

    The gameplay is the perfect mix between an old Halo and a more recent FPS like Titanfall/Cod... The thruster make the movement very dynamic, smooth and skilled.
    The weapons are mostly balanced and the bullet magnetism is very discrete and don't disturb during the gameplay (and in multiplayer). Add to that the HUDs that are different but still
    very well made based on the character you play. The result is a very good new Generation Halo Gameplay.

    Audio: 8/10
    Well, the soundtrack isn't amazing as the old Halos. 1/2 song are very great (like "Blue Team"), but nothing is like "Never Forget" or the classic Halo theme. Nothing will be a "masterpiece" that everyone will remember.
    The sound effects of weapons and campaign are well made. It took me a bit of time to adapt at the "shield down" sound, I found it very irritating at first.

    Graphics : 7/10
    Well, Grapichs are good. Noways toh, many game do much better than Halo. 343i said the game would show all the performances of the Xbox One, and to be honest, isn't by far the most good looking game.
    Anyway, it's still beautiful ^^ just not as much as they said.

    Campaign: 6/10
    Well, I'm a big fan of Halo, i read the books, and played all campaigns, listen to the #HuntTheTruth... The campaigns is somewhat frustrating. It's a bit of a mess, and very short.
    I mean, It go from A to B without a big plot twist, the missions are not memorable, expect the wardens fight (ctrl+c / ctrl+v) many missions are the sames.
    "The Greatest Hunt" was very little, the contact between Blue Team and Osiris were rushed. If you haven't read the book, you will find 0 personality on Linda/Fred/Kelly or the Buck/Vale/Tanaka
    Basically if you want a good Halo plot, the #HuntTheTruth serie is by far better. Playing that campaign made me feel like it is the part 1 of something, and it's shouldn't...
    Now if we talk gameplay in the campaign... personally was very very tired (in legendary) to play forerunner all the time and having 3 kind of enemies over and over for like 7/8 levels...
    There are mission that are 2 minutes longs (2 I think) where you jsut talk to a guy or go to a waypoint and it's finished...
    The friendly AI are retard, they get stuck, can't revive you sometimes, if you give them order like "kill him" they rush in the middle and die, they are useless asf, and sometimes they made me so mad...
    Play the campaign with 4 mates if you want a good experience

    Multiplayer 9/10:
    Arena : This is the big and best part of Halo 5. The game is now clean like the olds one. No perks, No special guns, everyone start the same way with the same load-outs and have to build their advantages.
    The maps are great, not amazing but great, the guns balanced (pistol maybe a bit op), the gameplay nice and the game very skill based. You have the ranked playlist with the new ranking system,
    that I found good, and the new Breakout mode is very nice with symmetrical arena map. I very enjoyed Arena.
    Warzone : A very fun gamemode to play when you have some time and don't wan't to play Arena. The Req system is perfect, the better you do the stronger you become. The map are not that big, but I thinks are perfect for the 12v12.
    The score system makes the game very opens until the last boss spawn, you can make awesome comeback.
    XP/REQ : Well, they did the best choice with that, you play and win req point => after 3/4 game you can buy a gold pack with cosmetic/guns/perks items. You can everything on Warzone but only Cosmetic in Arena which is the good choice.
    You can also buy req pack, and this will finance all the free DLC. The best economic system you can do.

    Conclusion :

    I love what 343 is doing with Halo, even if I think they put to much investment in the marketing campaign (with Hunt The Truth, The Sprints, the new books...) and not enough in the game to make it THE BEST HALO EVER.
    With a longer campaign with a better built story I think it would have been. On the Multiplayer side, I think this is my favorite Halo so far (and I didn't loved Halo 4 that much.)

    I've played halo since the xbox days with Halo CE, and this game is a great fun multiplayer. The campaign was kind of disappointing, it had its fun part every now and then, but it was way too short, and you only played as the chief for 3 or so missions, out 15, plus 3 or 4 missions were all you do is walk around and "talk" to people. Overall, I was not impressed with the campaign, and haloI've played halo since the xbox days with Halo CE, and this game is a great fun multiplayer. The campaign was kind of disappointing, it had its fun part every now and then, but it was way too short, and you only played as the chief for 3 or so missions, out 15, plus 3 or 4 missions were all you do is walk around and "talk" to people. Overall, I was not impressed with the campaign, and halo has always been primarily about single player story for me. I didn't see much of a problem with having a cliffhanger ending, there is nothing wrong really with having a cliffhanger in the middle of a trilogy.

    The removal of Co-Op was something that I didn't really like either, but I wasn't surprised really. People claiming 343 just blindsided them by removing Co-Op "with out any warning" are just lying. 343 said like 1 or a bit over 1 month before the game released that the game would not feature Co-Op, because they were more interested in locking the game in 60 FPS, and it would be impossible to allow that and add Co-Op. 1 month is more than enough time to decide if the removal of Co-Op would be a deciding factor when buying this. If you decided to not do any sort of research before spending $60, well, whose fault is that?

    That said, the multiplayer is where this game really shines. I don't think I've had this much fun in a halo MP since the halo 2 days. It's fast and fluid, and the new spartan abilities (not to be confused with those god awful armor abilities reach added and 4 "tried" to fix) give the game a new layer of overall strategy.

    Sure, they added some features, like ADS and kept sprint there, but this game is nothing like CoD like many people seem to enjoy screaming every time this game is brought up. If you play this game like CoD, you will die, a lot. You still need to be fast moving and skillful when shooting people, and one-on-one battle don't end with the person that fist shot the other person (like CoD), the kill goes to the one with the most skill.

    Warzone is a little fun addition, thought not a big fan of the micro transactions they decided to add, and the overall feeling of pay-to-win (people argue it isn't, but it is, it's not that hard to level up REQ levels when playing a match, before long, people with the biggest wallet will be easily noticeable when they get 4 or 5 tanks in a row) thought if I have to choose between optional Micro Transactions that only affect one game type, over free DLC maps, I say keep the micro transactions, specially with the addition of Big Team battle soon.

    Overall, this game only really shines with its MP. Single player alone is not worth the $60 price tag, which I would have said differently for Halo 1, 2, 3, or even Reach and 4. And the fact that some of the more fun features (forge and community made gametypes/maps) are coming in December, you may be better off waiting this one out.

All that said it still lacks in a few areas. The biggest flaw is the story and lack of map variety. The story has always been captivating and original, but this latest campaign feels like something out of a mediocre sci-fi movie. The lack of chief is also disappointing. The maps are all very well designed but since only a few maps were given to warzone and then a few more were breakout specific there is not a ton of map variety while playing. There is also a lack of game modes. Though the free content updates coming such battle of shadow and light bringing btb and four maps are sure to negate this over time. Overall amazing gameplay and visuals but lacks a bit of variety and story. Expand

    Technically, this game is very impressive as I never have encountered any frame rate drops. It stays locked at a rock solid 60 fps the whole time. The single player campaign isnt as long as I would've liked but it told a good story, and the twist at the end was great. Multiplayer is amazing in this installment, with warzone being my new favorite.

    Halo......Halo everywhere.....

    To give a small back story to my Halo experience, I've been playing since Combat Evolved released on the OG Xbox. And remember kids bringing in the Halo 2 edition Xbox when it first released into school. So when I hear Halo, it brings back a familiar nostalgia that I absolutely love. And Halo 5 Guardians has done a MUCH better job than Halo 4.
    Halo......Halo everywhere.....

    To give a small back story to my Halo experience, I've been playing since Combat Evolved released on the OG Xbox. And remember kids bringing in the Halo 2 edition Xbox when it first released into school. So when I hear Halo, it brings back a familiar nostalgia that I absolutely love. And Halo 5 Guardians has done a MUCH better job than Halo 4.

    Performance: 1080p / 60fps, Hell yes. What most console owners have been waiting for, and it looks absolutely stunning, from heavy firefights, to quiet moments to observe the scenery. And one thing Halo has always accomplished since Combat Evolved, is the little attention to detail, that if you notice it, makes you appreciate the little things. When participating in multiple matches online, I found that the playlist felt to little, but just right if that makes sense. All online games ran smooth and I did not experience the matchmaking problem that the Master Chief collection had experienced at launch. Excellent in my opinion.

    Graphics: At 1080p / 60fps, I noticed zero screen tear or frame rate drop. A breath of fresh air honestly with newer First Person Shooters having small issues like this. Like I stated before, its the attention to detail that I love that 343 and Bungi have done with the series, that makes this series seem personal to the fans and developers. All in all a knock out of the park!

    Story: Now this is something that I struggled with wrapping my head around. This series is about the Master Chief, now I know that there is deeper Lore to the series that probably follows different people, but when I played mostly as Spartan Locke and not the chief, I was disappointed. And even more disappointed in the marketing for this game. I was under the impression that Locke and the Chief were going to have an epic battle royal, the hunter is now the hunted, super "hush hush" sneaking around whilst battling the covenant missions. But this did not happen. AT ALL. Fairly disappointed.

    Campaign: Now I played on Legendary difficulty on my first play through, and it took me roughly 15 Hours. Making me pleased with the length. But I know that if I played on Easy or Normal that the length of the Campaign would only be around 3-6 hours. A big No-No in my book. Since when did developers start slacking on the story length department? Now the last thing I was displeased with was the AI. Not the enemy AI, but the friendly AI. Now Halo games aren't known for the best AI, but when forced to play with 3 other characters that are apart of your "team" its crap. Literally the STUPIDEST part of the game. If I went down under heavy fire, EVERY team mate ran to pick me up, getting themselves killed, instead of 1 reviving me, and the other two providing heavy fire towards the enemy to keep their heads down to leave me ALONE. Not a reason to not buy the game, but definitely a frustration. And there's a enemy wave system incorporated here. No advancing the story unless wave after wave is killed. Disappointing and lazy in my opinion.

    Multiplayer: Did I mention 1080p / 60fps? The multiplayer looks just as good as the campaign. The game modes are well balanced too. You have five modes with more to come. Arena (mixed game modes) Slayer (classic) Swat (another classic) Free for all (keeping it classy) and a new mode Breakout. Breakout is a 4v4 death match set up in rounds. Won either by capturing the one flag on the map, or killing everyone. Absolutely a blast with immense pressure when you're the only one left alive and your entire team is watching. Then there's Warzone. A mode in itself. 12v12 with NPC's, mini objectives of domination/slayer/ and score 1000points. Not something Ive played to much, but its well balanced. Now there's the REQ packs. Remember Titanfall? Remember the booster packs with perks? Its essentially the same thing. Now you earn req points through matches, or you can pay actual money. Your choice. The packs contain Skins for weapons, new armor, xp boosts, and weapons/vehicles for warzone.

    Overall this is a good game and the multiplayer is well balanced with a long campaign if played on higher difficulties. Something that I will be coming back to later on.

    It's worth buying just for the multiplayer. The campaign is ok, but the biggest flaw in his game is not being able to play as Master Chief much. You're Locke for 12 of the 15 missions. They could have at least split it 50/50. Anyway the multiplayer is fantastic (easily the best in the series) and the new warzone game mode is awesome.

    Multipalyer is a treat though, Warzone

    This is the first Halo game of my life and I gotta say that I loved it. The story and the characters, specially Agent Locke, Cortana and of course Chief. I played it on my brand new XBox One X and its stunning. If you never played Halo before, I think this is a good one to start on. In addition, I just wanna say that when you play a videogame nowadays most things you'd take for granted probably and think that they were always that way in gaming. Well, actually there's an evolution to it (ever wondered about the Evolution mentioned in the original Halo game's title) and the things that you see used widely by games of these days can be traced back to past games. But what is striking is that if you do the Math, well, as I say above ... by far and large ... Halo Wins :-) the most significant advances used widely by games of today and a good number of them can all be traced back to the originlal 2001's Halo CE game. For the record, the Hallmark use of the thumbsticks, use one for moving your character and the other for looking around/aiming, virtuaaly all games of today play like that and you'd probably think that this was always like that, it was not, it was Halo that introduced this idea and made it popular. But it doesn't stop there:

    -Ever wondered that it's so convenient to carry just 2 weapons and quickly change between them by using a face button? This can be traced back to HALO as well.
    -What about using a dedicated shoulder button just for throwables? That's also HALO.
    -Vehicles mingled with on-foot during Campaign missions, and btw on vehicles you control them by using one thumbstick to move vehicle back, forth and other to steer, analogous to on-foot, this is nice because it save the triggers for shooting on vehicles that have weapons. So, HALO
    -And ther's more, but I think I'll stop here before I bring readers to tears of frustation, kidding. A last one ... ever wondered how in many popular games, I won't give out names, your health regenerates to full level after a while always and depletes when you take damage only to regenerate again when you're not taking damage, so, sorry pal, this is also, HALO!

    Ok, I think that's it I could also mention a space setting which is so cool, but maybe this one can go back to Metroid :-) at least this is the oldest space game that comes to my mind. Talking about space, Master Chief's armor is so cool and how they've been improving its design is also pleasing, it's truly an original and wonderful looking design! I also like how they've introduced new armor types for diferent characters with this entry like the one for Agent Locke.

    So, I guess it's about time I conclude it, I just remebered that back in the day (2001) the OG XBox was designed for local network multiplayer and Halo made use of it, later Microsoft would launch XBox Live which paved the way for modern online multiplayer that lifted off with the revolutionary XBox 360.

    Ok, now I'll seriously end this, last thing I liked Spartan John 117 so much that I just not like him but would be a follower of Spartan John (Master Chief) in that I have decided that I'll no longer pursue PhD. That's correct, I have a Masters degree and will keep it like that, I'm a Master just like Master Chief, cool isn't it? At least, that is what I was gonna do before talking to my cousin Rod, after talking to him he encouraged me to actually do PhD, so I don't know anymore ... I'll probably take some time to consider a decision, but in any case, know that no matter what I considered making a major life-driving decision based on HALO! This game is quite something. Thanks for reading!

    Halo 5: Guardians is an exciting Halo package, marred only by some questionable design decisions, like microtransactions and some shoddy friendly-AI in the campaign. It’s not a classic Halo, but 343 is moving in a good direction with the franchise.

    There are ranked, social, custom and warzone playlists with a custom browser where you can download & play, or just join a game on user created maps and game modes, crazy! I wish that was around in the H2 days.

    i've bought or received 20-30 games since I got H5 and it's still one of the most fun games I just haven't been able to put down. The huge content drops every month or so have helped keep it fresh for the last 18 months.

    TL;DR: Give this game a try if you like competitive multiplayer games with so many options.

    However, the way the story in Halo 5 was told felt rushed and lazy. You play as Spartan Locke and Team Osiris for 12 out of the 15 missions, and still feel like you do not know Locke or his team. Chief's Blue Team does not get the proper introduction into the gaming world, and Chief's development takes a step back from Halo 4.

    The ending was a great twist, and I definitely feel compelled to buy the next installment, but please 343, take your time and pace the story better.

    Another solid halo from 343. The gameplay feels like a noticable upgrade from halo4 and there it looks fantastic in 4k on the one x. Soundtrack was great and the cast and cutscenes were excellent. Negatives for me were the 'cartoon badguy' moments throughout the plot and the emphasis on fighting promethan enemy types (just not as fun as covenant imo). Can't wait to see what they do with infinity!!

    Halo is tied as my favorite franchise ever with Mass Effect, but make no mistake about this, you might think 8 is a high score but considering all the other games its the lowest point on the halo franchise.

The problem is, for some reason someone at 343 thought that it would be a great idea to move away from the Chief and Cortana story and focus the game on some new spartans. Other than Nathan Fillion, none of the new spartans are interesting or worth your attention. The story was average at best, the best parts being the Chief parts. That said as always the Multiplayer section (which is what saves this review) is as good multiplayer as Halo has seen if not the best. The new Warzone mode is GREAT coop fun (they added some vs to it later) and all the other MP is great. The fact that there is no paying for new maps or season pass is also a plus. The update to 4k 60fps later is also a plus. This is a really good game for any other franchise but for halo, its just ok. Still, its pretty cheap now so give it a chance if you can. Expand

The story is just what one would expect from a Halo game. Overall there were a few things that really stuck out to me when playing Halo 5. The first one is the 343 did a fantastic job in balancing the guns. In past Halos I wouldn't even touch a gun because others were clearly better, but in guardians I pick up every gun because they actually are worth using now. Also some OP guns were nerfed a bit such as the spartan laser. Vehicles were also nerfed a tad making it more easy t combat them in the absence of a power weapon, but they were also made much more interesting in that they have more variation, examples being rocket mongoose and differing warthogs. The sound in this game was unrivaled by any I have played before. Whether it is shooting the BR or picking up grenades or zooming in or out, everything sounded so fantastic. The last thing that stood out to me was aiming in. In order to evolve and compete with the likes of COD, Halo needed to ditch the hip-fire only gameplay that has been its focus in previous games. I was unsure how this would change things but they were able to put it off. Whenever you get shot you are forced to unzoom which makes it fair and exciting. The story was what you would expect fro a halo game, pretty good and a medium length with some collectibles scattered throughout. I did appreciate the noticeable difference in fighting the covenant and the forerunner.The online featured a new and exciting gametype, war zone which was a good addition to the standard game modes we are accustomed to. My major complaint is the REQ system. While the REQs fund the DLC so we get that for free, I don't like the idea of getting random loot and such. While it does well for rewarding people with vehicles and such, I don't like the fact that most of the helmets, armor, and skins (or lack thereof) are up to chance. I liked reach's way of doing things, save up enough credits and buy whatever you want. There are a few things done wrong in this game including poorly designed squad member AI, boring talk to people missions, and a lack of blue team. I gave this game an 8 rather than a 9 due to the fact that I do not know how long this game will be able to keep my interest. I would recommend this game. Expand

I didn't feel like the bosses were just bullet sponges; some strategy was required to shoot them in certain places etc.

    The multiplayer is good, maybe not the best Halo multiplayer ever. All of the games seem to feel the need to emulate Titanfall with the jetpacks/power suits now, so some will enjoy Halo and CoD more now and some will enjoy them less. I was fine without people boosting all around the map but I'm acclimating to this.
    The Warzone mode is what pushes the multiplayer over the top and I actually need to get in there more and continue playing it. (I normally hop in matchmaking Slayer).

    Warzone probably pushes the score up a notch, it is probably an 8.5 but I was going to round down to 8 -- I'm going to go with a 9.

    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]
