    The worst Halo game for me, I have been playing Halo since the first game. The story is disappointing, the game mechanics are horrible and clunky

    Juego más que recomendable, aunque a 343 industries aún le falta un poco para dar ese salto de calidad.

    Halo 5 where to begin, false advertising led us to think the story was going to involve a big confrontation with the Chief going rouge, but instead it was only one short lived moment with everyone figuring out that he hadn't very early on, secondly the return of Cortana through a vison the chief had somehow and that's totally out of place in halo and the chiefs reaction to this visionHalo 5 where to begin, false advertising led us to think the story was going to involve a big confrontation with the Chief going rouge, but instead it was only one short lived moment with everyone figuring out that he hadn't very early on, secondly the return of Cortana through a vison the chief had somehow and that's totally out of place in halo and the chiefs reaction to this vision seems to be completely unrealistic and unreasonable.

    Like Halo 4 343 continued their assault on the past art style and seek'd to change the look of everything from the past halo games despite clear fan displeasure for their changes.

    Gameplay: 343 has clearly looked at titan fall and thought lets give the player all those abilites because that's fun in that game, but it breaks yet further the balance and flow of combat in the both the single and multiplayer game mode.

    Forge was added long after launch and can only be used if you have Xbox live gold because apparently its unacceptable to save your maps on the console and they must be on the cloud.

    Multiplayer warzone in fun but pay to win has been introduced to the game and 343 basically told fans the shut up they know what is best.    … Expand

    Weak story. The whole thing being after master chief saved humanity half dozen times now he is being hunted as a fugitive and cant be trusted is stupid. I am sure half the people buy it for the campaign and it is just terrible.

    Gameplay approves of bullets, in campaign, in Cooperative, in competitive. Lots of fun and challenge. Search skulls, search audios / information to add to the lore.

    Gameplay approves of bullets, in campaign, in Cooperative, in competitive. Lots of fun and challenge. Search skulls, search audios / information to add to the lore. Handling Spartan Locke and his team, managing the Chief and his team, Buck returns. The turn of Cortana Mala, the Eternal Wanderer, the Armored Grunt, as new Promethean enemies. Warzone mode makes it very fun and can be changed with card packs (reques) asking for vehicles or weapons. The enemy AI is very advanced, they flank you, cover themselves, rolling up, use all their resources to give you a challenge when facing it. On Xbox One X it has a patch of 4K improvements that allows amazing graphics and solidly maintains the rate of 60FPS in both One and One X. The game is on the GamePass.

    The bad:
    You don't mess around with the Chief and his team, this leaves a sense of estrangement from what was seen in the trailers in a frantic hunt for Locke vs John 117. The Knights that came out as big enemies in Halo 4, here they return but to Harder Deputy Boss mode than in the previous game.

    Lo Meh !:
    No, Halo did not die in Reach, many criticize Halo 5, without having played it. The Bungie-Lovers do not accept that Halo 5, although it is not the story that will change the world or the way you see video games, is a great pillar of multiplayer, a game that after years of coming out has a very active community both in cooperative and competitive games, both to hang out in Warzone or laughing like crazy in Action Bag, or by sharing modified content and maps in Forge. An impossible accomplishment like "Seriously Something" is missing like in Gears of War Saga. It is not the infecting garbage that many who have not even played it say.    … Expand

    Too bold for its own good. Feels like it’s gotten way too far from the first 3 games in terms of campaign as well as multiplayer. The story feels empty. Too many characters and not enough development. Side note: when are they going to stop changing Cortanas face...

    Man this game had so much potential. The trailers were hyping this thing up BIG time and even I got suckered in by thinking this was going to be not your ordinary Halo game. Well that got that part right, and not in a good way either. Besides being a short game, you barely play as Master Chief. You play as Locke who's another Spartan tasked on finding Chief and bringing him down. The bigMan this game had so much potential.

Besides being a short game, you barely play as Master Chief. You play as Locke who's another Spartan tasked on finding Chief and bringing him down. The big fight that the trailers and such get hyping, you don't even play it. Not even a quick time event. It's just a cut scene no longer than 5 minutes, I think it was even less than that. Besides looking pretty good, it was an okay game. Not the best in the Halo franchise. Hopefully the 6th installment brings the series back to it's roots.… Expand

    Excuse me, what a **** is this, the story is bad, just that, really bad, the gameplay is decent, the AI is awful, and the multiplayer is good, but i play halo for the campaign, and this game didn’t deliver in any way

    Only a few acts as Masterchief, new characters are bland. Same boss battle over and over.

    And Loot Boxes, in a MP game.

    Halo 5 is still inferior to the main trilogy from Bungie. But this is much better than Halo 4. The plot is no longer so delusional, and the division of missions into 2 detachments is an excellent plot move. The graphics on Xbox One X are amazing. I advise everyone in the Halo Infinite preversion.

    The campaign story was awful. Just ruined halo 4 and was plain boring. The dialog was so poorly written and it was such an insult to injury. The multiplayer was terribly barren at release but is great now. It just disappoints me to see halo decline so much. I will give 343 the benefit of the doubt as they have improved the game a fair bit, but it’s still jarring.

    La historia y jugabilidad cambio mucho Es el peor halo que hay una vergüenza que este juego sea el mejor exclusivo por así decirlo ya que hasta una pc de gobernó lo corre mejor que la xbox one oficialmente es el peor halo que haya existido

    At this point, I wasn't paying attention on the story side, but, for me, this game has the best Halo multiplayer so far.

    NO me gustó ni su mecánica, ni su historia. Me hablaron bien del juego, y no disfrute. La campaña no se si es corta o larga pero no me dio ganas de saber mas. Me aburrió profundamente. Lo vendí.

    I won't say it's the best but very cool visuals and gameplay mechanics. But then again there is just something about this game that doesnt really put it up there As one of the bests in the Halo franchise.

    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]
