May 24, 2016One word : PERFECT !!! This game it's fabolus played with friends, from october when it's come out i continue to play with no stop. Only gears of war can beat it!
-
Dec 4, 2015Campaign 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.

Nov 17, 2015Awesome game, the campaign sucks but the multiplayer is awesome and the graphics are really good too. However many people are mad because of there is no split screen, which is fine with me since i dont use it BUT i know theres a lot of people that loves it so thats why the game is a solid 8 for me.

Jun 23, 2017I'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.

Nov 4, 2015Not sure where the low ratings on here are coming from but 343 did a great job on the multiplayer Warzone of this game, really love it. Campaign gameplay is also fun but I don't like the story. I think the story was huge let down of this game but all other aspects of this game 343 nailed it.

Nov 6, 2015Locke is a let down but all around the game is very fun with awesome addictive multi player. Most of these negative reviews are apparently fan boys from certain desperate camps.

Nov 14, 2015Couple 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.
-
Nov 4, 2015O melhor jogo da saga Halo já lançado até hoje, sentimos falta do split-screen, mas esperamos que a 343i cumpra a promessa de coloca-lo em Halo 6. A campanha tem um tempo bom e o multiplayer tira horas d sono de muitos jogadores, Halo tem grandes chances de ser o FPS do ano.

Nov 8, 2015Halo 5 is a really good game it deserves much better reviews.Multiplayer is so fun the best Halo multiplayer I have ever played.Campaing is Awesome but the story is complexed because you can't really get into it if you haven't read comics and books.
-
Apr 15, 2016A very good game that could have been a lot better.
The graphics are good, the gameplay is smooth and the campaing, besides it is a little short, it is very enjoyable

Nov 4, 2015Épico, mucho contenido, multijugador muy adictivo, una maravillosa campaña que hace de enlace entre Halo 4 y el próximo Halo 6.. Te hace desear saber que ocurre con la historia y esperar a una nueva entrega,. Detalles gráficos, con muy buen diseño artístico y sonoro
-
Nov 4, 2015This 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.
-
Nov 5, 2015I'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.

Nov 6, 2015I´ve been having a blast so far,the campaign is Halo 2 level,which is average and multiplayer is very good,although i would prefer the Gold REQ costed a little less

Nov 8, 2015Super game! very nice graphics. play every day in multiplayer!
all my friends liked it. not enough companion to IOS, so that you can communicate with the clan.
good Russian localization! shooter number 1 this year! Thank you, 343. -
Nov 9, 2015Very, very good halo, the campaign is a little short but packed with action. The multiplayer is the best halo 5 multiplayer experience I have had since halo 3. Warzone is SOOOOOOOO good, love it soooo much.
-
Nov 9, 2015Gráficos sem paralelos, jogabilidade inovadora porem estória totalmente pífia. totalmente desconexa dos trailers. Na há caçada ao Spartan 117, simples assim.

Dec 8, 2019The game was Ace. The MP is extremely well and refined and visual the game was amazing. Don't know why anyone would rate it 0 simply for splitscreen. Who does splitscreen nowadays?!

Dec 1, 2015Technically, 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.

Dec 12, 2015The best Halo ever, great campaign, superb multiplayer and all the DLC are free. What do you want more. 343 has revitalize the franchise. Good Job!!!!
-
Dec 14, 2015It'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.

Apr 22, 2016muy buen juego, exlente calidad, fue exelente pero quisas no sea el mejor para calificar ya que no soy un veterano de la saga aunque e jugado todos los halo, y me enamore, practicamente ya le perdi el interes al punto de que se olvido practicamente toda la historia pero al comprarme esta quinta entrega debo admitir que me encanto
-
Nov 2, 2019La campaña a pesar de que argumentalnente no es lo que nos vendieron es bastante buena. Lo que realmente brilla es el multijugador que es excelente.

Oct 11, 2016a really nice start in this new generation, bringing a lots of multiplayers modes, new contente for free, and awesome graphics. need to say anithing more?
-
Oct 11, 2016Best Halo yet.
Great story, great graphics amazing characters and the MP is the best shooter ever made no Overwatch,CoD,BF,titanfall,battlefront can compare with this.
Since Halo content manager is added pure godness Buy this and stick to it after playin through the campaign on Legendary and few mp sessions you can not live without halo5 -
Mar 11, 2017Graficos muy buenos, escenarios mas amplios, jugabilidad perfecta.Me ha gustado mucho y se lo recomiendo a todo el mundo.La historia no convence, pero es divertido a rabiar.
Halo y Gears of war me recuerdan mucho a los juegos de Sega donde lo mas importante es la diversion desde el primer minuto. -

Dec 1, 2017Halo 5 is a solid experience with a very well done MP component, though a weaker story. The story does, however, plant the seeds for a strong single player experience in the inevitable Halo 6.

Apr 18, 2018im a big sony fan and i cant tell you how much i enjoy this game. the story is a masterpiece despite fanboys and the stupid media hating it. halo is the biggest franchise in gaming so as a sony fan i understand that there are a lot of haters. halo 5 proves once again why halo will always be the king of fps
-
Mar 30, 2020This game is amazing, one of the best looking games I ever play this generation. I really love this FPS games and this one is just amazing.

May 24, 2020HALO 5 BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY THIS GAME IS THE BEST HALO
I've putten in this game 1000 hrs its a masterpiece! -
Jul 14, 2019The only great Halo game. This is the only one I've enjoyed so far. All the other Halo games are just annoying and boring.
-
Nov 13, 2019
-
Nov 3, 2019Halo 5's story is too confusing at times, but the shooting has never felt better, and the MP is the best since Halo 2.
-
Jul 28, 2020Juego más que recomendable, aunque a 343 industries aún le falta un poco para dar ese salto de calidad.
-
Mar 17, 2020Maybe Halo it not deal game, but Halo5 very coll game, capaign and multiplayer very nice
-
Mar 28, 2020Halo 5 is not a bad game my friends and I really enjoyed playing this game but I don't disagree that there are tons of problems with the campain and the multiplayer, the combate can be glich and sometimes when you shoot someone the damage ratio won't count some times, but over all it is a good game.

Aug 20, 2020This game brought me back to halo and the multiplayer is the best in the series since halo reach 10/10
-
Jun 24, 2021Talvez fue decepcionante manejar a Spartan Lock y no a John 117 pero eso no deja de ser el peor juego. Al contrario es un grande juego yo soy fan de la saga de halo y este esta muy bueno es la maravilha de los FPS Halo 5 Guardians un gran juego solo Reach le gana pero este esta genial. Gracias
-
Aug 22, 2021The legendary frahchise do it it again, halo 5 has tons of features and gameplay, highly recommended!
-
Aug 21, 2021Amazing game, played it as a previous of Halo infinite, Forge and co-op campaign makes this game absolutely wonderful.
-
Sep 4, 2022Like 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.
-
Mar 13, 2017Halo 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.

Jul 8, 2016i honestly really like this halo! I like the direction 343 took with it and it is certainly the most action packed out of all of them. The new enemies are a great touch and the graphics are amazing! 60fps adds a lot in this game also. The new Wargame is awesome!!! Kudos to 343! Not sure where all these negative numbers came from.. This game is very much Halo as other Halos..
-
Aug 20, 2020Para MÍ un Halo innolvidable, me enganchó mucho + que los anteriores y cuando terminé la historia solo quería +, cosa que no me pasó con el 4 y demás. Su online es de lo + completo, exigente y variado de la generación, recomendadísimo.
-
Jan 8, 2016Halo 5: Guardians is a superb entry in the franchise. This is, by far, the best shooter I have played in years. I have not had this much fun playing a shooter since Halo 3. All Xbox One owners must own this game.
-
Nov 26, 2016The best playing halo game yet. Campaign isn't the best in the series, but the multiplayer is better than any other FPS on the market. It more than makes up for the campaign.
-
Mar 11, 2020Another 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!!
-
Oct 10, 2016Though the story is lacking a little, I still enjoyed playing and seeing the new characters and the added abilities of the Spartans. The multiplayer is just awesome and does not get the respect it deserves. I would recommend that anyone should give this game a second look and take off the hater shades.

Dec 16, 2019I cannot explain how horrendous this game is I finished the Story in 4 hours 4 HOURS no split screen makes it even worse! I bought an Xbox one ONLY for this game and they give me this crap? The multiplayer is fun at times. this is not the "Best Halo" its just a rushed out game. Thanks for ruining Halo, 343.
-
Jun 26, 2020The game overall is really good, I have enjoyed it really much, lot of fun, however I was expecting a totally different thing after the trailers and the advertising, also feels like an unfinished story at the end, like... what? this is the end?? eem... ok...
-
Jan 25, 2021Good game, not amazing. The campaign is one of the least compelling. But the multiplayer really shines. Crispy, smooth, and ready for tournament play, it's one of the best Halo multiplayer experiences, in a long time.

Mar 3, 2017Campanha confusa e sem ritmo.
O melhor multiplayer de halo de todos os tempos, suporte impressionante da 343.
Melhor gameplay e gunplay disparados da franquia.
Viciante! -
Jan 9, 2016Halo 5 has the best Gameplay in the whole series and the best multiplayer experience but The Story has flaw. it's not ruin the game but consider it as the only thing that prevent it from a full 10.
-
Nov 4, 2020Bons gráficos, trilha sonora e história garantem deste um dos melhores Halo que já joguei, meu único arrependimento foi não ter jogado antes. Recomendo 100%

Oct 15, 2016I can not really understand the low notes, it is simply the best halo already done, the best multiplayer. The best next generation game in my opinion, play the multiplayer virtually every day
-
Nov 18, 2020The campaign is okay at best but the multiplayer is pretty solid. Warzone is a mess, the progression is disappointing, and the customization is a huge step backwards but Arena is very good, it easily has the best gameplay and weapon balance in the series, forge is great, and overall I really like it.

Feb 9, 2017Good game, very cute and cool story. I was disappointed that the game has no local coop mode. More so taking it to be very impressed with the great work they did in this game.

Jan 20, 2016Halo 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.
-
CD-ActionJan 12, 2016The 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]

Pelit (Finland)Jan 4, 2016With 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]
