    Feels like call of duty....

    Plus:
    -No split screen
    -Flat Story

    In short: Halo 5 has lost everything that was halo, playing with your friends in one room.

    So good!

    First off, the campaign was amazing, due to the relatively simple plot but it still delivers a major twist that will shock many. Cutscenes throughout are action packed and well placed, looking fantastic in 1080p 60fps.The characters should be familiar to people with knowledge of the extended universe, and introduces some really well thought out enemies. The Promethean Knights    So good!

    First off, the campaign was amazing, due to the relatively simple plot but it still delivers a major twist that will shock many. Cutscenes throughout are action packed and well placed, looking fantastic in 1080p 60fps.The characters should be familiar to people with knowledge of the extended universe, and introduces some really well thought out enemies. The Promethean Knights now take on a more Mgalekgolo (Hunter) type role, capable of absorbing a Scorpion shot, unless you hit their weak spots, giving variety to the gameplay. The host of enemies included vary the pace of combat, with subclasses of all enemies in the game. Squad commands allow you to mix up the way you fight ; Lone wolf, Team player, balanced etc, the revive system encouraging the use of these all new abilities.
    Fluidity is maintained perfectly, due to the sacrifice of split screen, however it would have been nice to include split screen. Textures do seem to lag occasionally.

    Multiplayer is a blast, Warzone and its REQ system allowing for a more open ended, casual style of play, whilst keeping shrewd decision making essential. Team play works brilliantly as the bosses demand focused fire and attention to beat, and the objectives requiring more thought to bring down. Yet again gameplay is fluid as ever! Occasionally the opening cutscenes for the match will glitch, showing an outside view of the map and the spawning rarely places you in the middle of gunfights, but this is very rare. Some may feel forced to use REQs. REQs deliver a variety of weapons, scopes, vehicles and power ups, adding another dimension of thought to gameplay, and the Spartan abilities fuse flawlessly with core Halo mechanics.

    Arena is fast paced, balanced mode with the 1-50 ranking system making a triumphant re-emergence , making almost every game tense and satisfying, regardless of the outcome; victories are often hard fought and narrow, with a virtual playground of opportunities to outwit and defeat your foe. The new abilities work fantastically; thrusters make more escapes and gunfight victories possible, Ground Pound deals massive ranged melee damage and Spartan Charge stuns and damages your enemy. Map design is up to scratch and power weapons can be game changers in THE RIGHT HANDS; they aren't outrageously overpowered, but can subdue the opposition massively. I didn't really notice any problems at all.

    The menu layout is simple and intuitive, but could use a more expansive roster in matchmaking.

    Finally, the music is good, with some aspects of the original Halo style, however it is nothing to behold.

    This game is fantastic, a must buy for everyone, especially die hard Halo fans; it feels like Halo should.    … Expand

    Halo really managed to surprise once again bringing a wonderful plot to participate in allowing go to paths that I even imagined, risking his old and established characters and taking them to shady paths all this for us, as something that is reduntante but with an excellent multiplayer, which is quite fast, and aided by 60 FPS.

    Fantastic game and experience. The campaign is great, and fantastically incorporates the wider Halo universe. The multiplayer is nailed in this. Utterly the best multiplayer on current gen, and warzones is beyond fantastic.

    The loss of co op is a big one though. Thats really the only major disappointment here

    While a seven out of ten may seem only mediocre, I can promise you this game is highly entertaining and will give you many hours of fun gameplay. However, there are just one too many mistakes made to give this game anything higher than a seven for now. Let's cover the good and the bad.

However, there are just one too many mistakes made to give this game anything higher than a seven for now. Let's cover the good and the bad.

    Let's start with all the good in this game. First, the graphics are very nice, and the frame rate is always steady. the soundtrack of course is amazing, and the customization goes deep this time (like it always should have been). Although yes the small micro-transactions in-game are a bit sketchy, it's nothing too game altering or invasive. The multiplayer is as fun as ever, and warzone is a much better tweaked version of the previous FireFight mode. Warzone incorporates large team battles with A.I marines to capture and defend bases with vehicles and all. It's a very glorious game mode indeed. Theater mode also makes an appearance and proves once again to be a key feature.

    Now for the bad. These are the things that hold the game back from being rated any higher. First off, no split-screen local play. Seriously? Halo essentially invented co-op online play, and it has also been a key feature separating it from Battlefield or other Call of Dutys. If you have a friend over, you can no longer play split-screen. Shame on you, 343. Another thing that disappoints is the campaign. I'm going to be honest, I haven't finished it yet...and that's because it is not very compelling to say the least. Only getting to play as the Master Chief sometimes isn't very fun, and the character development is non-existant once again. Why do I care about any of these other Spartans? They are made of cardboard and have zero personality. Also shooting hordes of robots doesn't have the same effect as fighting flesh and blood creatures. The cutscenes are also lame and over the top at times; the campaign I truly did not care for. Maybe the last missions are amazing though? I wouldn't know. Another nagging issue that holds this game back a bit - no map veto's for online multiplayer. Ready for Swatnums on Orion again? Because ya can't veto the map selection. Also no forge mode...what's up with that?

    All in all, this game is very good, and I would recommend it to anyone. There are some small issues here and there, but with more practice, 343 I'm sure will one day make a Halo masterpiece.    … Expand

    Multiplayer is also awful, all games are rated and your rating goes up based on games won, so if you play with good friends and later play on your own you're massively out of your depth. 4v4 means that games are very skewed and if someone leaves you're **** No idea why 343i chose to do 4v4 instead of the traditional 6v6. Maps are tiny and all the same, in fact its easy on spawn to be confused about where you are. Power weapons pretty much give the other team free kills until the next power weapon.

    Warzone is the only half decent thing about this game, that and the music, so 1pt for those.    … Expand

The game looks beautiful, the story may not be the greatest in the series but it is solid. Controls are tight as can be, the campaign is short but I think most people will play multiplayer for a long time to come.

    Halo 5 is all in a polarizing experience. One the one hand you have a finely enhanced formula that allows for spectacular feats of gameplay, and on the other hand you have a by-the-numbers single player experience and a multiplayer component that takes a step back for every step forward. While Halo 5 continues where Halo 4 left off and expands on it in a number of ways, the final productHalo 5 is all in a polarizing experience. One the one hand you have a finely enhanced formula that allows for spectacular feats of gameplay, and on the other hand you have a by-the-numbers single player experience and a multiplayer component that takes a step back for every step forward. While Halo 5 continues where Halo 4 left off and expands on it in a number of ways, the final product never escapes a level of being simply passable, failing to transcend itself to greatness.

    The single player begins by cruelly cauterizing the open plot threads left by Halo 4's single player and Spartan Ops modes. The state of the Covenant leadership, the situation with Halsey and ONI, Cortana's death, Master Chief's newfound augmentations from the Librarian - all of these elements see an abrupt halt to their existence with one exception that I won't spoil, which has been re-purposed here. It should be noted that the marketing campaign for the single player, hinting towards conspiracy, political intrigue, and confrontation between the game's two pivotal characters Locke and the Master Chief, sees the most minimal development and feels the most shoehorned-in aspect of the single player. The plot is largely forgettable, and squanders the potential the rich Halo universe could have provided here. In place of mystery, intrigue, and the nature of an evolving humankind is a predictable, by the numbers affair filled with one dimensional characters, banal dialogue, and a villain so disappointingly superficial and evil as to evoke the Sith characters from George Lucas' Star Wars prequels. While the game manages to pack in quite a bit of lore from Halo materials far and wide, the result is rather soulless as 343 is in pandering mode almost the whole way through.

    It is surprising, then, that the Master Chief and Blue Team see the least development. Rather than assigning compelling personalities to the most decorated and fearsome soldiers humanity has ever seen, Blue Team simply exists to uphold the co-operative mechanics (for providing real friends different bodies) in place, while Locke's team sees the most screen time and dialogue, with just as little personality. Fred in particular exists almost as a ghost - this Spartan, who is in his skill set the most similar to Chief, doesn't have a moment in my memory where I even remember him speaking.

    Where the story may not be able to keep your interests, the gameplay will probably suffice. Halo 5 makes some fairly well implemented changes to the formula, which results in a more mobile brand of Halo's kinetic action. Level design in the single player works best in the game's "corridor" sequences, which put players at the top of a sloped, wide corridor filled with platforms and corridors of varying elevations, goodies to pilfer, and collectibles to unlock. The artificial intelligence across the board seems to have been simplified, probably to create for a more freely flowing experience whose pace is dictated by the player themselves. While the addition of collectibles into the missions is a nice touch, the developers could have used some restraint to avoid crippling the pacing of the game more than the mission structure does so already.

    Of the fifteen missions in the single player, there are a number of fairly short intermission sequences that allow the player to explore a small environment and get their healthy dose of exposition and worldbuilding. The unfortunate result is a product that is no more effective than the environmental storytelling and ambient worldbuilding found in the preceding Halo titles. I feel that 343 wanted so badly to cement its universe by packing it so densely with lore that it overused this liberty and vacated any sense of mystery or intrigue in its world. While there is some cool lore to chew on from time to time, these sections could have been foregone in favor of a better traditional experience. Instead, the single player never feels like it leaves its first act, simply dumping the player off of a cliff the moment their intrigue is sparked.

    The multiplayer component is similarly hit or miss. While the new 12v12 Warzone mode can provide some tense moments and exciting action, the scoring system in the AI infused mode is easily exploitable, and the lack of variety in maps sorely hurts the experience. In regular modes, social playlists are lacking entirely, leaving a roster of small team competitive modes and a currently broken free-for-all mode. The map designs in Arena are fitting of the mode's name, but feature visually bland designs and not many of them. While 343 plans to add free DLC content, the custom map editor forge is missing from launch, and a number of the total maps promised for Halo 5 will be created using said tool. I believe maps generated in forge are no substitute for in-house content - whether the content is free is no excuse.

    In the end, Halo 5 plays it safe and expects its fans to wait patiently for things to improve. I feel many won't.    … Expand

    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.

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]
