    Great addition to the franchise. I've been a critical HALO fanboy for a while and I was super happy with this release. Still playing campaign and multiplayer. Also flows fluidly from Master Chief Collection.

    At launch, I would have said this game was around a 5. Now, with all the gamemodes added, it goes up to an 8 out of 10.

The art style is not interesting, but I am okay w/ the customization now. I would give this a 7, but i feel like I would be a little too rude, as i would be disrespecting the effort 343 has put in the game since. But I can't give it any higher, especially with the stupid microtransactions it has. Even then, reviews are subjective and be hating the game for no reason would be like beating a dead horse or being too damn blind to figure out what a 2 out of 10 game is. The story is literally a dead horse and I won't beat on it, because everyone knows it sucks. 343 disappointed in many ways with this entry and I won't be surprised if Halo: Infinite will be a disaster filled with microtransactions, but they have improved it a lot.

    Halo 5 unos de los mejores shooter de ls historia, una gran saga, en donde la comunidad es gigantesca comunidad y a la vez apasionada por este juego.
    El Multijugador es solido y fluido.
    Todos los DLC son gratis como debe ser.
    La historia algo complicada en la cronología y espero que en halo 6 se explique todo y aparezca muchisimo el Jefe maestro.

    O game da sequência aos acontecimentos de seu antecessor, após a missão inicial controlando o novo protagonista, Spartan Locke, vemos em seguida um Master Chief visivelmente abatido, porém após uma visão envolvendo Cortana, Chief termina sua missão, e, ignorando todas as consequências vai atrás dela, e assim a tão aguardada perseguição se inicia. sobre a trama, é algo espetacular que muda todo o destino do universo, porém não vimos várias coisas divulgadas por trailers, e essa perseguição do Locke ao Chief se mostra muito desinteressante, havendo apenas um confronto em todo o jogo. O game traz 15 missões que alternam entre o Master Chief e o Spartan Locke, sendo duas delas apenas com diálogos e exploração, todas as missões contam com mapas extensos e lindos, com um level design impecável, permitindo que sejam realizadas diversas estratégias diferentes contra os inteligentíssimos e até carismáticos inimigos, os gráficos são épicos, os mais bonitos que já vi em um console rodando a 1080p e impressionantes 60fps cravados. A trilha sonora é uma das mais lindas que eu já vi em um game, todas são brilhantemente produzidas e conseguem passar a melhor sensação possível de cada situação em que se encaixam.
    Nós temos um esquadrão que pode nos reanimar durante um tempo caso venhamos a cair no combate, o esquadrão no geral tem uma IA razoável, funcionando muito melhor quando recebe ordens que podem ser dadas por você a qualquer momento.
    No geral, o que tirou um pouco do brilho de Halo 5 foram os trailers divulgados pela 343, que não refletiram o produto que entregaram, mostrando até mesmo cenas que nunca vimos durante o jogo inteiro e datas incompatíveis com os fatos narrados pelo jogo.
    Com relação ao modo multijogador, eu sinceramente não acho que tenha jogado o suficiente pra analisar em detalhes, porém posso dizer que é absurdamente completo, com diversos modos bem diferenciados e uma extensa variedade de mapas, e que me agradaram muito, com uma ótima conexão e sendo muito competitivo. até então não tive nenhum problema quanto a isso, quando sentir que tenho mais propriedade, atualizo falando mais sobre.

    "HALO WINS"

    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    "HALO WINS"

    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!

The campaign is bore, but honestly the game is worth twice its price in the multiplayer experience. It's one of those games that will still have players on the servers 25 years from now, and with good reason. This is the most skill-demanding triple-A shooter in more than 25 years, and every kill and victory feels legitimately well-earned, unlike the brainless copy-pasted COD-style shooters. However, this game doesn't sacrifice marketability for seamlessness. The game has become mirror-sheened in post production with the additions of Warzone and the like, and the Forge creates a deeper linking with the community within the game. The customization is inconsequential, but nice, and lies between enough req packs to require a dedicated experience. A competitive circuit adds more depth to the game, as you feel more recognized when accomplishing high standings in classics like Slayer, as well as the mind-bogglingly addictive Breakout. For more casual players, Infection and Super Fiesta are brilliant modes that are executed on a scale unattainable by the Source modders. This game is the reason Halo should exist, and it honestly is the current magnum opus of the series, as it doesn't rely on nostalgia and "then state-of-the-art" gameplay. Easily within the top 5 FPS games in history.… Expand

    Halo 5 : Guardians campaign suffer of poor written character and bad story-telling. Halo 4 campaign is much better. It is the worst story of the franchise.

    Talvez 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

    Great game, amazing music and fantastic gameplay. Graphics are amazing, but I have to say I played it on xbox one X.
    At the begining I was a bit disappointed with all the new features, I was expecting a bit more traditional halo, after 1h I loved the new mechanics.
    I really don't get why such amazing games like halo 5 or gears 5 get so much hate on the reviews.

    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.

    343 continues to expand upon the classic Halo formula in order to leave their mark on the series. While not quite the huge evolution for the series it was touted, there is enough new here to keep the Halo series relevant after all these years.

While not quite the huge evolution for the series it was touted, there is enough new here to keep the Halo series relevant after all these years.

    From a technical standpoint the game is very impressive. It's not the best looking game on Xbox One, but everything runs exactly like it should and the campaign still looks pretty darn great with plenty of detail in the world. The graphics do take a hit in the transition to multiplayer, but you'll be too busy playing to really care about the blander environments. I've encountered no connectivity issues and there is no lag to be seen. This is a buttery smooth FPS in every aspect.

    The controls are just are tighter than ever. There's no more clicking a thumb-stick to bring up a score. Zoom in functions have been mapped to the left trigger, moving grenades to the right shoulder button. It takes a little bit of getting used to for the classic Halo fans, but it doesn't take long to click at all. When it does the gameplay has never felt more intuitive.

    The campaign is much larger in level design in order to compensate for the expanded emphasis on four-player co-op. A feature only slightly tarnished due to the non-inclusion of split-screen. The design allows you to approach situations in any way you see fit. Plenty of secret passages and hidden power weapons can be found that allow you to get ahead of the enemies. For the first time in the series I was giving genuine thought to my position on the battlefield, and the benefits of taking the higher or lower ground. These are some of the best level layouts in the series in my opinion.

    The increase in size also allows for bigger battles comprised of multiple enemy types appearing onscreen at once. The fights feel massive as you overtake enemies coming in from numerous locations at once. The "Promethean" finally feel distinct enough to feel legitimately different from the Covenant. Another cool thing about the campaign is that almost every weapon feels like a viable option on the battlefield. The series has always had some weapons that just felt useless. That is rarely the case here.

    All of these elements come together to form a campaign with impressive scale that will provide moments of genuine and exciting cooperative and solo strategy. From a gameplay standpoint the game nails it and this might be my new favorite Halo campaign. It also marks the return to form for Halo storytelling. The 3rd and 4th Halo had stories that just made no sense and dove into complete and utter sci-fi nonsense that made no sense and wasn't really explained. Halo 5's story is much more comprehensible. It's the first time I've been able to understand and follow a story in the main series since Halo 2. It even has some of the emotional core that made up Halo 4. The only downside is the ending. There's not a real sense of conclusion to the events the story. Obviously I was expecting it to still keep things open for the sequel, but I wasn't expecting the game to just end abruptly like it did.

    Multiplayer is just as addictive as ever. However some of the changes to the formula are kind of controversial and will rub some the wrong way. The new Warzone mode makes use of what the game calls "Requisition Packs." These packs give you cards that allow you to bring in things like more powerful weapons and vehicles in the middle of a match by the means of a recharging energy-like system. In order to get these packs you have to either collect in-game currency by playing matches or buy them with real money through microtransactions. The microtransactions are completely ignorable and don't make this a pay to win experience. However it is still irritating to see the game's biggest new mode tied to this system.

    It does little to diminish the enjoyment the mode can bring though. Warzone's big battles feature multiple objectives that pop up over the course of the match. Capturing bases, defeating A.I. bosses, and of course killing enemies all give your team points. First team to reach the limit wins. However if your team manages to capture all of the bases and expose the enemies core in their home base, then you can destroy it and pull of an instant win. The great thing about this mode is that no matter how you choose to participate, be it stealing bases or just popping other players, you are contributing to the overall goal of your team.

    "Arena" just offers a way for players to jump into some of the series' traditional modes. "Team Arena" allows players to jump into a playlist with constantly changing modes and maps.

    With incredibly addicting multiplayer, a strong campaign, and excellent gameplay the series makes a strong first main entry on Xbox One. Some disappointments are noticeable and some changes lackluster, but this is still a must play for longtime fans and newcomers alike. Even in an overcrowded sea of FPS games Halo still manages to stand out.    … Expand

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. All right lets start with the story, yes it is a bit short, but it is very well done, action everywhere and an incredible story, but there are some flaws as well with the story, you see I a huge lore geek and Halo is no exception, most of what happens in the campaign wasn't new to me at all. Most of what I thought would happen did indeed happen, with the exception of one thing.

    This drives a wedge between people that know the lore and people that don't most people that don't claim to see an incoherent story, most people that do can fill in the gaps of the story because they no what happened outside of the games.

    The balance between Blue Team and Team Osiris is a bit off, I figured that would annoy me, but it didn't, Team Osiris carries it's own weight pretty well and Spartan Locke is one of the best characters I have seen in Halo, mostly because he isn't some gruff super soldier, but because he is respectful, friendly, clear minded and a great natural leader. Nathan Fillion fills the role of Buck from ODST, and he delivers some of the best voice acting I have seen in ages.

    But back to the missions itself, Like I said the balance between teams in terms of missions is off here, while Osiris has more missions most of them are a lot shorter and while Blue team has less missions, most of them are a lot longer.

    The balance could have been better and with the way the story went, it sometimes feels as if Osiris was put in there as a plot device. The missions itself is what you expect from Halo, so no new things there with the exception of a mission or two which were incredible.

    The Multiplayer has changed a lot, Halo 5 goes arena all the way, movement is key and with the new abilities I feel like a Spartan, the game is incredible fast paced and the controls are very smooth.

    Warzone brings a mode I have been hoping for since I started playing the games, all out warfare with AI mixed in, there are some flaws in my opinion, for instance AI's aren't spawned at random but always arrive in the same order and after the warden eternal no more enemies spawn.

    Random AI enemy spawns would make it better in my opinion and having some AI on the map at all time next to the marines would make it more warfare like. There is a lot of potential here, I can definitely see some more type of enemies and a map based around the flood with those things crawling everywhere could be an incredible experience.

    My conclusion is simple, if you are a Halo fan and liked the previous games with a mix of new game play elements thrown in and like a new type of Halo multiplayer, get this game.

    If you rather like the old games without any changes or any new stuff stay away, buy the Masterchief Collection.

Regardless, the game offers mobility and exploration to discover hidden intels, weapon cache, and better angle to attack from.

    Between being and Xbox exclusive, a different studio working on halo,a divided ,and at times nit-picky, fan base, and this halo making more changes than any other game in the series, there will be people that will say "this sucks", "343 ruined halo",or "its a garbage game". While I respect peoples opinion, that doesn't mean I don't recognize blind hate.

While I respect peoples opinion, that doesn't mean I don't recognize blind hate. Halo 5 may not be the best halo but it still manages to be a great one. Halo 5 has been re imagined from designs, visuals, and most notably the game play. Since Halo 3, I've always wanted spartans to play like their portrait in the cut scenes and novels instead of slow weak bullet magnets and now with sprint, thrusters, clamber, ground pounds, smart scope, and spartan charge, halo 5 is not only fast and intense but makes me not wanna go back to other halos. It's game play improves both campaign with larger/more packed levels and smarter/larger scale of enemies to multiplayer with balanced/flushed out maps and competitive/all-out war game modes. In fact its multiplayer is my favorite in the series with csr ranking system returning, arena with classic and new competitive modes and the all new warzone with large scale combat against spartans and ai. Both complement each other too. Halo 5's the first halo where I've really taken the competitive playing serious since many of my games have ended close and have made me already show many emotions (anger, happiness, frustration, relief, empowerment, weak, etc) and when I got tried of screaming and calling out from arena, I would switch to war zone where variety of unlockable weapons and vehicles joined with 24 players/ai made for chaotic and over the top explosive battles and craziness. And as before, if I started not taking it seriously over felt to loose I would jump back into arena for more focused and competitive games. Which ever you choose, you earn points towards req packs which give you random weapons, vehicles, armor, boosts, etc. that most you can use for war zone and some non game changing things like armor for arena. You can also purchase these but what makes this fare versus other micro-transactions is not only do you have the option to use in game money but to use a lot of these, you need to get kills/points to build a meter to use them so if your not good it doesn't matter how much you buy if you cant reach the level to use it. And it makes the progression more rewarding. As for campaign, the story follows both master chief/blue team and the new agent locke/fire team Osiris as chief and blue team have become AWOL and lockes team has been sent to bring him home until devastating events caused by forerunner beings called the guardians risked humanities destruction. For one I did enjoy playing the campaign as the levels are large with more routes/hidden passages, larger scale of enemies, incredible set pieces/visuals, many hidden collectibles/Easter eggs/special weapons, and 4 player coop online. Its a blast to play alone or with friends. The story however is a little mixed. The main plot and the so called "greatest hunt in gaming history" really doesn't live to the name with rushed events, lack of blue team, and a mix of both 3 missions just made to "take a break from the action" to a cliff hanger that make it story feel short and underwhelming. That said, its not just another mediocre shooter story as it has some good moments from the dialogue between character and Intel to jaw dropping moments like chief fighting locke or the first time you see a guardian rise. Recommend playing with friends on heroic or harder for a true lengthy experience. My main complaint though about this halo is its cut back of features for its launch. While some cuts like forge and big team battle are temporary, other things have been cut including split-screen, voting in matchmaking, customizing chest/shoulder/wrist/& leg pieces are now just one armor piece, file share, screenshots/video making in theater that still just goes for pvp and not campaign, and social playlists. Now while these do seem like little nitpicks as well as the fact 343 will be adding loads of content through its launch (as we speak shotty snipers has just been added with more reqs, patches, free maps, forge, and big team battles being planned to be added soon) I still can't help this has been one of the smallest launches content wise for a halo game in a while. That said, it still has plenty to keep you busy from its addicting multiplayer and game play, its great progression system, and a solid campaign. It might not be as beloved as say halo 1-3 but it is for sure NOT A BAD GAME and way better than halo 4 as well as my favorite multiplayer in the series.… Expand

    Halo 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.

    Halo 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 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.

    Gameplay

    First off, the gameplay, which to me is the best in the series, 343i was not afraid to make changes to the format and it payoffs, the pace of the combat is brisk and elegant. The addition of the spartan abilities are great and make you feel like the war machine your supposed to be while also balancing it out it in multiplayer which might just be the best in the series. The gun play is also well done, as usual for a Halo game, and each weapon feels useful in some way.

    Story

    As for the story, it was an enjoyable piece to the halo universe but it largely felt like it was setting up the pieces for the next game, and i feel like they could have dove a little deeper with some of the characters, including Locke. overall it was an exciting story with some really good moments but definitely one of the weaker Halo campaigns.

    Graphics/Presentation

    Halo game have always had great graphics and that is no different with Guardians, everything runs smooth as silk, and there are no frame rate issues

    Overall, this is an excellent entry into the Halo series, and although the story lacks in some respects the multiplayer, and gameplay are the best the series has seen, and i am excited to see where chief ends up in 6    … Expand

    An overall great game. The mechanics are smooth and fun, the multiplayer caters to both hardcore and casual gamers, and it just looks awesome. The story itself is lacking when compared to its predecessors but the campaign in general is fun.

    Best multiplayer in the entire series. Well balanced with good variety in the playlists for both casual and competitive players alike.

    Great level design within the campaingn makes each playthrough a fun experience since there are new routes and secrets to find. The story while, quite a bit disjointed definitely has it's moments, especialy the battles on Sanghelios, and the ending    Best multiplayer in the entire series.

    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]
