    Just finished this last night opn Heroic and can't help but feel disappointed despite being a long time fan of the franchise. Lack of split screen co-op aside (meaning it's the first Halo game I can't play co-op with my son), I wanted to play as the Chief more. I mean - that's what we were waiting for, right?

    This was a Spartan Locke game with a glorified cameo by the Master Chief, and while that's not necessarily a bad thing this felt more like a pumped up ODST than a Halo Reach. The story was sparse, lacked the emotional impact of Halo 4 and felt like a middle-act of a film.

    As for multiplayer online - I'm not a fan. If "run and gun" is your thing then Titanfall is infinitely more fun, to say nothing about more evolved multiplayer FPS's like COD and Battlefield.

    In conclusion - looks good, runs slick and I'm glad to have played it but it's the first in the franchise since ODST that I won't be replaying. More "hollow" than "Halo"    … Expand

    This game is very clearly filler for Halo 6 but the story has it's moments and the online multiplayer feels as good as Halo reach,buy it if you're a halo fan wait for a sale if you're a casual FPS fan.

Primero lo que me parece bueno del juego es su gameplay en general, los que hemos jugado varios años sabremos que existe un cambio, sin embargo es muy bueno en mi opinión sobretodo por el dinamismo. Ahora directo a lo demás que me hace dejar la calificación en 7 que son 3 aspectos y los explicaré lo más resumido posible. PRIMERO La campaña es corta, tiene un boss muy repetitivo y como ya lo habrán leído es decepcionante en mi opinión debido también a la pésima publicidad de microsoft (o 343 Industries....quien sabe). SEGUNDO El escaso contenido en día uno para el multiplayer y por último TERCERO Los REQ points, de este último tengo que decir que el sistema aleatorio para conseguir objetos desbloqueables es algo que a mi personalmente no me gusta para nada, ya que tu habilidad en el juego o recolectar calaveras o archivos de inteligencia en la campaña debería entregarte recompensas no una tarjeta aleatoria y peor aún nuestra billetera (¿Acaso 60 dólares no son suficientes?).
    En fin espero que este análisis les haya servido para decidir su compra!    … Expand

    This game is actually a good action game but a very bad Halo game. The single player campaign has a very weak story, it have an awful pace and the enemies and final levels are very repetitive and even boring.

    The score would be greater it the game have another name and if the master chief model was changed by any other

    I love Halo. I've always loved Halo. No split screen, a horrible campaign, and micro-transactions are not Halo. Yes, the multiplayer is incredible, but it doesn't excuse cutting features and half-assing Halo.

    The campaign was long in comparison to Halo 4 but the story was lacking, you spend a majority of the time play as agent Locke who's character can't seem to make up his mind on his personality. I didn't mind Locke overall but I would have liked to have seen more of the Master Chief.

    The movement in the game feels better than Halo 4 and much less mechanical however I am not a fan of the spartan charge ability. It's annoying to come up against and it's annoying to use. Are you going for the assassination but need to sprint to catch up? No assassination spartan charge. It's also far too easy to charge someone knock them back and head shot even if they were shooting as you charged. I don't mind the other abilities, the slam is hard to land as its easily dodged with the thruster back and takes quite a while to charge up during which time you can easily be shot down.
    The multiplayer is a bit of a let down for me the lack of social playlists is a let down as I don't want to constantly play ranked games to enjoy some of the classic game types like slayer and swat. There's at most three social playlists at a time (big team, griffball and whatever the special playlist is at the time). I'd prefer if they brought back team social, social slayer and maybe make some of the new game modes available in unranked playlists. The ranking system also needs something similar to Halo 3's where at most the people in the lobby will be 10 above or below your skill rating as having your rank go down because you got matched with silvers against platinum and diamond players.
    Warzone and the requisition system are my biggest problems with this game. There should be arena specific requisition packs and warzone specific req packs that you can buy with credits not spend your money on. I have little to no interest in constantly getting weapon certifications when I'm looking to get armor. I also can't stand the fact that warzone matches are decided almost entirely by how good your teams late game requisitions are in comparison to the enemy teams. I also hate that you're only informed of a base being captured if you're close enough on the map it's a ridiculous feature that serves no purpose other than for you to go "What when did they get a second base?". I also hate that the legendary bosses can be stolen by the enemy from half the map away with a battle rifle or chaingun or anything that has some range and fires more than one shot rapidly. I'm not sure how they could fix this problem, maybe a zone around the boss that you can damage them from similar to games like smite and league of legends.
    Overall the game isn't bad it's just average. Occasionally you'll have good moments in the multiplayer that'll make you feel like the game is good and you'll have an equal amount of moments where you'll think the game is terrible. The multiplayer is much more enjoyable with friends as when you play with random players you'll quickly learn there's no limit to peoples stupidity. The campaign does very little for the game I played through it alone and with friends and with friends is better but it's still a very average campaign with a slightly lacking story line.    … Expand

Don't be mislead by the 7/10, to me a 7 is a good game with some flaws and that fits Halo 5s category with flying colors. Halo 5 has a strong gameplay mechanic that kept me interested as it was a fresh breathe from previous Halo's, usually I would complain about something like that but Halo 5 seemed to bring back what I loved about the older ones and still advance in new combat ideas. What Halo 5 does not bring to the table, is a satisfying campaign, with its misleading advertising which did hype me up for a huge battle that lasted around 2 minutes of a cutscene, brilliant work 343. The start, middle and end was sloppy, where is masterchief throughout the game? is that how halo works now? asking where the "protagonist" is, really? In a game like Halo 5 it is clear that multiplayer is the money shot now, screw the campaign is basically the feel I got off of this and that is dreadful because halo has always had a strong narrative to accompany a game with so many unique elements, Halo 1,2,3 and Reach are easily my most beloved games due to the campaign being excellent but also because they could balance concentration on the campaign as well as executing a top notch multiplayer. 343 industries hasn't caught on to that yet. Now Halo 5's multiplayer, is it good? yes, it is a fairly balanced multiplayer with qualifers to see ones skill and a gamemode called 'warzone' which is basically what it is called. I don't have a HUGE problem with REQ packs, i don't buy them because i don't need them to have a good time. 7/10 good; has strong potential for further improvements like say i don't know a campaign worth playing. A solid FPS, great multiplayer. Your money is up to your playstyle, want a fun campaign? buy the MasterChief Collection. If you enjoy competitive multiplayer, sink your money in because it is worth that alone, it single handedly pulls it away from an average rating… Expand

    Su campaña en cuanto a contenido es muy Inferior a otras entregas de la saga, esta parece quedarse corta y deja bastante que desear, la trama es fácil de entender pero es muy forzada. se siente recortada y se espera mas.

    Su jugabilidad cuenta con la misma base que caracteriza a cualquier halo, mas la adición de las "Habilidades Spartans" se obtiene jugabilidad dinámica, compleja y divertida con viejas y nuevas mecánicas que dan una sensación de mezcla entre lo retro y lo innovador, agregándole una amplia configuración de botones para cualquier estilo de jugador.

    Excelente calidad gráfica, buenos acabados, e increíbles sonidos durante el gameplay, sus cinemáticas siempre sorprendentes, algo que siempre cumple un juego de esta saga.
    Un Halo siempre viene acompañado de buena música y este no es la excepción, no es la mejor banda sonora pero sin duda esta al nivel.
    Juntando sus gráficas junto con el sonido y agregando unos mapas mas grandes y un entorno vivo hacen de este una gran ambientación.

    Su multijugador es simplemente un "Éxito rotundo" bastante divertido y gratificante, se siente como un halo pero innova en sus movimientos, bastante igualado, mucho mas dinámico, mayor variabilidad de armas, buen sistema de emparejamiento y un nuevo modo que busca innovar llevan a este videojuego al siguiente nivel, convirtiéndolo en "Un juego que hay que tener".
    Cuenta con una rejugabilidad ejemplar, gracias a todos los retos, recompensas y personalización que te ofrece, (Sistema de Liga, Armaduras, Armas, Aspectos), la única desventaja son sus micro pagos, pero queda muy alejado de los llamados "Pay to win" ya que en los modos tradicionales no influye y te encuentras con un enfrentamiento igualado.    … Expand

This was a huge blow to the Halo community as a part of the previous games success was the fact that it was so fun to sit down with friends and play together or against each other. The amount of space (gigabytes) it takes up on your X-Box is massive. It started out with around 76 gigs required, and since then has managed to grow to over 80 gigs.

    Yet another let down from 343 Industries. Halo 5 ruined the complete halo franchise's universal acclaim spot. Halo 5 was falsely advertised. The game can be completed within 5 hours and it has no multiplayer. The campaign however was trash. The multiplayer was really fun and if this wasn't a direct sequel to Halo 4, and instead was something like halo reach, then it could easily get 8/10.

Its competitive but fun multiplayer has crept itself into many of our gaming hours over the years. Do not take this frantic multiplayer lightly as a casual pickup and play game, it will eat away your day without you realising. Halo 5 is no different in this sense.

    Customisation

    Over the years the Halo series implemented many customisation options. Halo 5’s customisation is a step above its predecessors. From a variety of different armour looks to its colour choices, it has something for everyone to make your look unique. The new aspect in this iteration of Halo is the ability to change colours of your weapons. You can spend quite a bit of time perfecting your layout before you know it.

    Although it is not in-depth compared to games like Fallout 4 and Doom, there is enough here to keep you occupied. And 343 is always expanding upon this with their updates adding to their ever growing list of customisation options.

    Multiplayer Diversity

    Halo 5's multiplayer modes are diverse. It has something for everyone. For those craving fun big team warfare there is a dedicated playlist featuring the usual big team battle mode and of course its Warzone mode.

    Then there is the competitive arena playlist for those planning to climb its addictive leaderboard. I have spent many hours trying to get to Diamond League and once I reached it, there was an inner sense of pride to keep hold of my position and challenge myself to climb higher. The weapons are not only well balanced but laid out strategically on its Arena maps, ensuring the control of these weapons vital as your team progresses towards victory.

    Every month or every season as they call it, the rank resets and you are rewarded based on your final standing. This can be in the form of modded weapons, armour sets to Requisition packs which I will discuss further later in this review.

    For anyone craving big frantic battles that combine AI opponents as well as players, its 12 v 12 Warzone mode will not disappoint. Players battle to reach a certain amount of points to win the match. This can be achieved through killing opponent players or killing bosses that spawn around the map. Do not underestimate the AI however, as they are a formidable foe and can more than hold themselves when surrounded by players.

    When they spawn it’s a frantic battle by both teams trying to get the final blow. That is where I felt the challenge of killing the AI boss to contribute towards your team’s points could be exploited. Imagine your team fending off waves and waves of players and AI alike to kill off the boss. You spend every bullet and muster every able body to focus their skills and firepower onto the boss, only for an opponent sniper to take the last shot and obtain all the points. Immensely frustrating. And yes I have done that many times myself.

    Forge-tastic!

    The inclusion of Forge where players are able to create their own maps and challenges for the community still stands strong. The best of these user created content are carefully selected by the developers and included in a dedicated playlist sometimes. Dedicated servers help the online experience further. In my many hours of game time I have rarely found it to be laggy and finding matches takes less than 10 seconds.

    Graphics

    The graphics are well done here. Halo 5 uses every ounce of power from the Xbox One system and outputs it in glorious form. The slick design of each item is unique, bold and creative. The multiplayer stages are well designed with every map sporting a distinct look. From the Fiery industrial core of Molten to the icy chasms of Antifreeze the team has been creative with their approach so far.

    Reward packs

    REQ packs and Req cards are Halo 5’s reward system achieved through give aways, playing matches and reaching milestones. It will award all of the cosmetic items as you open packs such as armour variations, character stances and various weapon and vehicle upgrades which can be used in Warzone playlist. It can be bought with real money or earned through game time. Cards have different rarities from uncommon to legendary items.

    Halo over the years has grown into a behemoth. Upon its release there were not many modes or maps which made the game feel a little stale. However 343's dedication and promise of free 1 year DLC has been delivered. With it the Halo 5 community is growing bigger and stronger. Other games should take note of Halo 5's successful business model. Its current state is a joy to behold with double the maps and game modes alongside customisations and unique weapon upgrades, making this Halo probably the best Halo so far.

    Vamos começar pelo Marketing que fizeram em cima do jogo,é obvio que HALO não é o mesmo de 10 anos atrás,grandes franquias atuais como COD,FIFA,BF, e todas esses merdas de casuais vão chamar mais atenção do que um game exclusivo de uma plataforma que não esta em seus dias de glorias,então o Marketing tinha que ser algo que chamasse atenção de todos,mesmo que você nunca jogou Halo antes,iria querer jogar,então que surgiu o "Hunt the Truth"Onde era mostrado Master chief como o traidor da humanidade,então um grupo de Spartans 4 começavam a maior caçada da historia,Trailers live-action mostrando chief deixando civis para a morte...Épico não...?
    Seria,se isso fosse entregue no jogo,a traição do jogo foi baseada em apenas um dialogo dispensável e sem emoção...
    Outro problema de Halo 5 é todo o material necessário para entendimento completo do Game,Todos os livros,séries,Hqs lançados antes do day one de Halo 5,foi necessário para dar enfase aos personagens novos(e não tão novos assim)Muitos são acessíveis,como por exemplo:Halo NightFall que pode ser acessado na netflix,mas isso se trata de um Game,em Halo 3 por exemplo você conseguia acompanhar toda a história sem a necessidade de outras mídias,Halo 5 faz que você JOGADOR de Halo não entenda a História por completo,mesmo que você tenha jogado todos os outros jogos da Saga principal e Spin-offs,343I diz basicamente:Se você não entendeu 100% dos acontecimentos,você não é um fan de verdade(E claro,você precisa comprar todo esse material),é tão difícil o Player simplesmente colocar o CD no video-game e se divertir com a história,não para 343I e Microsoft.
    Até agora eu basicamente disse que o Marketing de Halo foi ruim,mas o porque eu considero essa como uma das piores campanhas de toda industria,Serio,Halo 5 se compara a Et do Atari,Superman 64,Rambo the video game,Destiny?
    E a resposta é sim;Talvez não em termos de Gameplay,já que se trata do game mais dinâmico da saga(mais dinâmico que a resolução do PS4 pro)Mas sim de tudo que esta em volta de sua historia.
    As cutscenes são toscas,no nível de sentir vergonha alheia ao jogar,parece tudo encenado,como uma peça de teatro,sinto mais como se estivesse vendo uma dança coreografada em vez de um combate de verdade,na primeira missão vemos a "grandiosa" luta contra Jul ´mdama,e acredite,esse personagem recém adicionado morre no primeiro encontro,simplesmente o Líder do covenant remanescente foi morto nos primeiros minutos de jogo;Outro momento vergonha alheia é a luta dos dois spartans:Jameson Locke e Master Chief,muitos compraram o jogo por conta desse momento,o encontro entre as duas classes de Spartans,qual projeto é o mais forte,Chief vai matar Locke,Vamos matar Chief jogando como Locke?
    -Não!
    Tudo acontece em uma Cutscene,uma luta sem graça,rápida,sem armas,sem habilidades spartans,apenas um combate corpo a corpo genérico,onde acaba e não tem uma sequência para o acontecimento durante todo o jogo.
    Personagens:A adição de personagens em Halo 5 foi desnecessário,sem personalidade,sem carisma,apenas Bots que te ajudam a levantar durante o gameplay,esse é o verdadeiro motivo deles estarem lá.
    Adeus diálogos épicos,Oque era para ser a traição contra a UNSC virou:"Eu não gosto disso" ou um Cliff Hanger Épico como:"Sir, Finishing This Fight"(*Halo2) para:"Você demorou,em"
    Me diz,quem foi que escolheu essas frases horríveis?
    Resumindo:Halo 5,foi uma das piores campanhas(Histórias) de toda indústria,e me faz temer sobre o futuro dessa saga.
    MP:
    Felizmente ela não conseguiu destruir o jogo por completo,já que possui o melhor MP de toda a saga,muito conteúdo pós lançamento,completo e robusto,mas não foi só isso que fez Halo ser grande.
    Embora 90% da análise foi para "falar mal" do jogo,Halo 5 da um ar novo a saga,trazendo mudanças no Gameplay sem deixar sua essência de lado,como um bom e velho vinho,Além de claro,trazer o MP mais completo e viciante da saga,Possui microtransações mas ao contrario do que dizem,não desbalanceia a arena
    Halo 5 Guardians É bom em tudo que se propõe,exceto de como contar uma Historia de Halo...    … Expand

    Gameplay:
    -Fast
    - Too much Action -Guns feel weak - Vehicles dont feel satisfying to drive -HUD is annoying and feels like it takes up the entire screen -Too many sounds coming from HUD -awkward controls Story: -Too much going on at one time, feels like i dont get a break to rest. I felt like i was always shooting something and this go extremely repetitive -Felt very confused    Gameplay:

    -Too many sounds coming from HUD

    Story:
    -Too much going on at one time, feels like i dont get a break to rest. I felt like i was always shooting something and this go extremely repetitive
    -Felt very confused first time playing and i actually had to research what the story was about. And this is coming from someone who has played all halos and knows story like the back of my hand.
    -Left a huge cliffhanger at the end. I usually dont mind a good cliffhanger but this one felt bad and i wanted to know just a bit more.
    - overall the story was confusing, and felt empty, like something was right. I hated what they did with cortana, not like the halo i know.
    Multiplayer:
    - The mulitplayer is the best out of the whole game but its still not very fun.
    - Multiplayer feels extremely like call of duty and i was left wanting some halo gameplay after every match but never got any.
    - Never got interested in playing the new modes.
    - Never found my self playing too much of the multiplayer and just quit playing after a short time
    Overall this game was very disappointing and i was pretty angry considering i spent $120 on the legendary edition and didnt get much. Wouldn't recommend forking out the money for it but if your interested in the story i would recommend just looking up a play through of it on youtube.    … Expand

    Halo has always been a mythic game series. Halo Combat Evolved changed the landscape of Console's as well as shooters. Gone are days of the Arena shooter's and Halo's utter dominance as younger players favor kill streaks and Call of Duty clones(which is why Halo 4's multiplayer happened... *Shudder) But for those who are still looking for a fantastic and balanced Arena experience, forHalo has always been a mythic game series.

    The story is a little lack luster, but the game makes up for it with stellar gameplay, free DLC/Support, dedicated servers, and 60 frames per second (a first for Halo game). Honestly, I can't understand why this game doesn't have a higher user score. This game is easily a 10 out of 10, at worst a 9 if you ding it for story writing which isn't quite a strong as previous Halo games. Anyways if you read this thank you for taking the time, see you in the Arena Spartans!!!!!    … Expand

    Great game, Solid multiplayer, 60 FPS in campaign, i'll just give it 9/10 cuz the campaign time is short and Microsoft lied about the fight between Chief and Locke, no one kills each other, they just punch each other and that's it, no more fights between the 2.

    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]
