    My dad had bought it with the xbox one so the purchase was worth it, the campaign makes you keep playing even if it is not as deep as halo ce, halo 3, halo 3 odst or halo 2, but the bad thing is that it does not have divided screen , the only way you can play the campaign cooperatively is by playing with a friend but him needs to connect with his console, I put 7 because the online isMy dad had bought it with the xbox one so the purchase was worth it, the campaign makes you keep playing even if it is not as deep as halo ce, halo 3, halo 3 odst or halo 2, but the bad thing is that it does not have divided screen , the only way you can play the campaign cooperatively is by playing with a friend but him needs to connect with his console, I put 7 because the online is one of the best (I recommend the war zone mode), it has packs of supplies but if you constantly play online you get the coins to buy them (The only packs that need real money are just for customization), likewise it feels a very fluid gameplay.… Expand

    O pior Halo já feito, difícil entender por quê a desenvolvedora faz isso. Vai levar zero como protesto.

    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

The music marked the entire series, but in this game it is terribly bad and does not contribute to the atmosphere.

    Bleda senka starijih HALO naslova. Priča potpuno konfuzna i veoma kratka. Ubačena tek da se kaže da igra poseduje SP mod. Toliko događaja, a toliko malo vremena. Dizajn nivoa je solidan, mape su dosta velike, tako da je MP dobar. Master Chief se skoro i ne pojavljuje u igri, ostali likovi su poptuno bezživotni. Grafika je prosečna, dok su neprijatelji izuzetno glupi, AI je na nivou HALO 4... Muzika je obeležila ceo serijal, ali je u ovoj igri strašno loša i ne doprinosi atmosferi.    … Expand

    The game is simply amazing, it's the next gen Halo I was expected, very smooth with 60fps, awesome graphics and a very fluid system combat

    Good game, far from perfect, people gave it too hard of a time. If it wasn't a halo game it would be a 9/10 but it isnt good enough as a halo game but still a great game.

    Su historia es una patada en los huevos para los fans, pero hablando objetivamente es un juego muy completo con una campaña buena, y un multiplicador adictivo. 343 va por buen camino, y tengo fe que en su tercera oportunidad lograra llevar a la saga devuelta a lo mas alto.

I hope Microsoft gives its developers free range next time and allows the next Halo game (Halo Infinite) to be sth spectacular. Xbox series X looks promising but as of now it lacks true first-party titles and its iconic and strongest franchise. Xbox was never the ultimate gaming machine but it had a lot of good games on it. Halo 5 is still one of the best shooters of the previous generation, but as a halo game it is a bit lacking.… Expand

    Absolutely ruined master chiefs character. After building a character for over 15 years, you’ve made him look like a weak old man in front of locke etc. Campaign was awful but the gunplay was the best ever in halo, multiplayer was pretty fun as well.

    Halo, muita gente “gava” esse jogo como se fosse o melhor do mundo. Eu baixei, entrei e comecei a jogar, digamos que foi um dos maiores arrependimentos que eu fiz em toda a minha vida. Eu creio que a empresa tinha recursos suficientes para melhorar o gráfico e a “ideia” do jogo.

    Em quesito de jogabilidade, está ótimo. A interação das armas são boas, mas apenas isso, mais nada.

    Lemme just start off by saying that this game is literal dog **** Now why do I think this is dog **** you ask? Well let's see the story is bad, the writing is trash, and the soundtrack is forgettable. This to me doesn't feel like a halo game it just feels like a basic FPS.

    Well thought out game, with awsome visuals, continuing the story in a more aprochable way. Although i felt like the game had something more to give that was missing, Maybe some DLCs. An Awsome game the same.

    I feel sorry for Halo 5. If the marketing hadn't been an outright lie, if the writer hadn't pulled a Rian Johnson and completely ignored Halo cannon, character traits (important events from Halo 4 Spartan Ops), people might have had proper expectations.

    As it was, it even managed to disappoint me, and I'm a fanboy. The story isn't horrible (leagues better than Anthem or Mass Effect Andromeda, Destiny, etc) but its the weakest in the franchise thanks to a writer who fumbled the ball at every opportunity.

    Gameplay is very Halo with the new ability to aim down sights, boost and clamber over ledges. Great variety in locations and some really epic fights but overall a little more restrictive in level design when compared with, say, Halo Reach. The Halo sandbox is still there and you can have different encounters every time you play.

    Don't care about PvP, its not why I play Halo. Warzone firefight is fun but REQ packs (MTX's) keep it from being great - Heroic level enemies with very large health pools require vehicles/special weapons... which requires REQ packs. You can earn these but there's a moderate grind to do so. It keeps a lot of people from getting hooked on the mode.

    Overall good game, fun to play, great in co-op. No split screen. Marketing was nothing short of a lie and the story was a bit lackluster (they pull a "Halo 2" with this game).    … Expand

    La jugabilidad y variedad de armas, movimientos, vehículos, multijugador son excelentes. La banda sonora es buena y en la parte de la historia si bien tiene una buena duración, se alejó un poco de la esencia del canon principal y no me agradó del todo.

Giving them very questionable dialogue (another issue with the game) and totally ruining their involvement in the story (which is already bad).

    I refer to it as Guardians, because it isn’t even fair to call this a Halo game. The maps look like aids and the best thing to come out of this game is the ability to sprint. Truly embarrassing for everyone involved in the creation of this abortion. I hope the one in 2021 is in no way a resemblance of this trash.

    Halo 5 is by far the worst HALO experience, but that doesn't mean that is a baed game. It gives you the best multiplayer HALO experience with amazing graphics. Unfortunately the story is not great as well as some NPC, but if you enjoy HALO franchise games, it deserves a place in your collection.

    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]
