    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

    -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.

    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.

    What makes the game even better is the support it has received. Halo 5 has gotten so many free maps and modes, from older features such as score attack to newer maps and an upgraded forge mode, along with new and old weapons (something not seen in a Halo dlc). If I was able to do decimal points, I would raise it from a 9 to around a 9.2 just for this amazing support.

    El apartado gráfico es muy bueno, no el mejor en cuanto a potencia pero si en cuanto al pulido de todos los elementos del juego, se ve que este juego tiene mucho trabajo detras.

    Granted that this game does have some redeeming values that I enjoyed, the bad outweighs the good in Halo 5's situation.

    Being that I've been a fan since the beginning of the franchise and have pledged my loyalty to the saga, I find it necessary to add my thoughts. Halo shaped my childhood and I simply cannot let Halo 5 off the hook, nor 343i. I should state that I am no exception when    Granted that this game does have some redeeming values that I enjoyed, the bad outweighs the good in Halo 5's situation.

    Being that I've been a fan since the beginning of the franchise and have pledged my loyalty to the saga, I find it necessary to add my thoughts. Halo shaped my childhood and I simply cannot let Halo 5 off the hook, nor 343i. I should state that I am no exception when it came to being hyped for this game; I spent quite some time rewatching the trailers and dreaming of its release since the debut at E3 all the way up to my purchase. And I admit, I enjoyed it immensely while I played it... at least, for a little bit. The more I played it, the more I realized how much the game was less and less a 'Halo' game (speaking symbolically of course) and how much more of a money-grinding system was present; aside from putting the player first, it was a cash-grab. The REQ system stole away the player's ability to level up throughout the game's experience and unlock cosmetics as their spartan progressed in ranking. Speaking of experience, any purpose to the XP system is nil. It seems that the only thing XP signifies in this game is the time spent in-game. Which makes me question why the XP Boosts are present, there's no reason for them. And without a proper unlocking system, there's no value in the armor you receive. Instead of "Oh man, that guy's wearing (so 'n so) armor! He must have worked really hard to achieve that" it's "Huh, he's got (so 'n so) armor, he must have got lucky when opening a gold REQ." It destroys a fundamental community aspect that once gave Halo a soul to its fanbase. It hurts me beyond belief and without it, there's no feedback when I play leaving me to lose interest very quickly. It's easier to ignore if you're having fun with friends while playing, but the system still stirs speculative discussion in party chat and makes us long for the old days of Halo when it had so much spirit.

    SPOILERS HERE:
    There's not much I can say about the mediocre campaign that hasn't been said already. I did enjoy it all the way up to the fight with Locke and Chief and, upon further investigation, Master Chief's fighting skills are nothing like they should be. I've read every novel and comic to follow in the Halo lore and Chief is illustrated to be so much faster a bulkier when it comes to combat. So why is he so pathetic here? Locke isn't an exception, either. There are so many illogical scenes in this campaign that it hurts me physically and I hate to see Halo fall so short. Brian Reed either needs to step up his writing game or 343i needs to hire someone else, desperately. For more, just watch The Act Man's 4 (or 5) part video series on why Halo 5's campaign is so bad. There are definite spoilers, so watch at your own discretion.

    That's pretty much it, though. I'd hate to think that 343i won't learn from their mistakes and make Halo 6 better. In fact, the next installation of the series simply must be a masterpiece at this point if 343i wants to redeem themselves. I don't see where they went wrong, the trailers looked so good. But it was sadly all lies :( My theory is that Halo 5 is a filler game to ensure Halo 6's success, considering that it'll apparently be the last time we see Chief in Halo. But hey, whatever happens, happens. Right?    … Expand

    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.

Ce dernier n'est pas aussi beau que la campagne mais pas dégueulasse non plus.

    Halo 5 s'est amélioré sensiblement dans sa maniabilité et son interface, même par rapport à Halo 4 qui marquait de réels progrès depuis l'ère Bungie : on peut enfin courir... tout le temps (!) escalader en souplesse, donner des ordres à son équipe, lui demander de l'aide... Certaines batailles sont épiques et le spectacle est toujours au rendez-vous sans jamais vomir des scripts partout comme les infâmes Call of Duty... et sans QTE non plus.

    Si la VF est toujours excellente, la musique est plutôt générique et les effets sonores, modifiés, sont en retrait par rapport à Halo 4 : un contre-coup incompréhensible. La campagne reste agréable mais sa fin bâclée laisse une mauvaise impression.

    Le multi-joueurs lorgne beaucoup trop du côté des Call of Duty, favorisant outrancièrement le corps-à-corps. Les boucliers se rechargent plus vite mais dégringolent aussi plus vite : Halo 5 est devenu trop nerveux. Beaucoup de cartes sont trop grandes et mal foutues.

    Le système de réquisitions est une mauvaise idée qui oblige à s'équiper au cours du combat alors qu'on préparait ses paquetages avant chaque manche dans Halo 4. Les véhicules se trouvaient sur le terrain, accessibles à tous, ici il faut atteindre des niveaux prédéterminés pour les utiliser via les réquisitions. Heureusement ce système bidon n'est utilisé que dans les deux modes de la nouvelle "zone de combat". Malheureusement, les paquetages que l'on améliorait au fur et à mesure dans Halo 4 n'ont pas été reconduits ici. Bref, on l'aura compris, le multi est devenu un peu pourri.

    La campagne gâchée par une fin expédiée qui n'en est pas une laisse supposer un autre Halo très prochainement, peut-être le véritable Halo 5, qui sait ? moins répétitive et moins lourde que celle du 4, elle laissait espérer un bien meilleur équilibre. Elle y parvient d'une certaine façon mais sans convaincre totalement : Locke est définitivement une andouille, une loque.

    On reste donc mitigé... mais toujours en admiration devant cette beauté et maniabilité, fluides de tous les instants... tout en regrettant l'ambiance sonore en retrait. Le multi de Halo 4 rame et n'a pas de serveur dédié... et pourtant ! on s'amuse nettement plus dessus. Que s'est-il donc passé ? un manque de clairvoyance certain de la part de 343 Industries sur lequel on a pas fini de s'interroger.    … Expand

    As a classic Halo fan, I found this game to be about as entertaining as Halo 2 in terms of multiplayer. The story does lack and it is too short for its own good; however, it is still interesting and, ultimately, fun to follow. Admittedly, I wasn't a big fan of the new armor abilities at first, but they really are a lifesaver and now I can't imagine playing without thrusters in matchmaking.As a classic Halo fan, I found this game to be about as entertaining as Halo 2 in terms of multiplayer.

Admittedly, I wasn't a big fan of the new armor abilities at first, but they really are a lifesaver and now I can't imagine playing without thrusters in matchmaking. I won't say this game is on the same level as Halo 3 (it really isn't), but it feels like I've played and enjoyed Halo 5 just as much, if not more. Its most redeeming features would be warzone, forge, and the epic environment design, which pretty much blows Halo 3 out of the water, in those aspects. Is it perfect? Of course not, but that doesn't mean it doesn't still have a lot to offer. Also, considering split screen has been removed from most modern games today, it is unfair to complain too much; 343i does intend to bring it back (for good), after all. How many other developers out there can say the same? And for the record, the graphics are superior and unlike anything I've ever seen in a Halo title. To those who say it resembles a cartoon and the music sounds like something you'd hear in a Mario game, I say you're on crack. My biggest complaints in regards to the campaign is the length, the amount of damage required to kill some of the new enemies, and the reuse of certain game assets. The new art design isn't the best either and makes me long for the old even more. My biggest complaints in regards to multiplayer is there simply isn't enough maps for warzone! Needless to say, Halo 5 has done what no other Halo title has with forge (and with forge, the new custom games browser), increasing replayability ten fold. If I had to rank this game with the other titles, I'd say: Reach > 2 > 3/ODST > 5 > everything else. In the meantime, we'll just act like 4 never happened...… Expand

    This impact leaves you feeling like you're a naked human in a gunfight rather than the classic man of chaos conveyed in the original three games.
    The art style is very messy as it negatively effects the graphical impacts of terrain, leaving it to be very blocky gray experience and at points of the campaign my nearby friend thought I was playing on a forge map.
    The story was very shocking as I couldnt believe the classic Halo campaign had been turned into a sloppy underdeveloped campagn with some new spartans i've never heard of and didnt in the slightest care about, but my worst gripe is that the developer has created one of the worst plots i've ever seen and whats worse is that its ireversable.
    Many say the multiplayer is fantastic but my view on it is that it's so average, it could be mistaken as any space shooter and isn't nearly as close as being as good as multiplayers in games such as OverWatch or Battlefield.

    El Multijugador es solido y fluido.

    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.

    Average video game that falls extremely short for a game of the Halo franchise. Poor and lack-luster campaign, a completely different and poorly executed multiplayer, and heavily implemented microtransactions plague this games rating. Launch barely had any content. Most "Free DLC" maps are made by the community or are blatant reskins of old or already-existing maps.

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.

This plot is confusing and all over the place and introduces way to many characters with out giving them any actual character development and in some cases any character at all. Like tell me what Tanka's role is in the game or something about her personality you cant because she and most of the team members in the game are boring and provide nothing to the plot. Other then Buck I do love Buck but that's because we've seen him before in another game and already saw his character before hand. Anyway like I said the plot is all over the place and while theirs a lot of interesting narrative ideas they are executed poorly and I would say the plot is certainly a step down from 4 which also had a a lot of interesting ideas but handled them poorly. Where the game does improve significantly from 4 is the gameplay while still no where on the same level as the older Halo games the gun play is much more fun to play even if it doesn't feel very Halo in its mechanics. Some things I don't mind like sprinting and aiming down sights these were gonna come sooner r later to the series I feel. But the ground pound and boost stuff are just kind of weird and also make the backs of Spartans all ugly because they all need this jet booster thing now. I guess this is a good enough time as any to say that much like Halo 4 I don't like the art style of this game but I do think it looks a bit better then 4. But the covenant still look ugly in this one just a little bit less so. When it comes to enemy AI they seem a bit better but still no where to the level of the old Halo games. But at the very least the Prometheans are a lot more fun to fight. You still fight them more then I would like but the class they have is better to fight and I like that they made the big knight's into a heavy class. Overall the gun paly is smoother and the overall gameplay is better then Halo 4 which is the most important factor for me. While the plot is a mess that the game doesn't like to explain all that well and levels you with a cliff hanger the game play makes it up enough for me that I can say Halo 5 is fine. Because while the campaign is lack luster the multiplayer is a big step up from 4 and on its own can b a lot of fun to play.… Expand

    Tremenda decepción después de haber jugado previamente Halo 3, Reach y 4.

    No es un mal juego en cuanto a mecánicas: de hecho, es el más completo en cuanto a posibilidades de la franquicia me atrevería a decir.

    Lo malo es que tiene sin duda la peor campaña de todos los que he jugado y de largo. El Jefe Maestro es ninguneado, un personaje "desaparecido" del 4 vuelve de manera cutre y sin sentido, las texturas dejan bastante que desear, la banda sonora es de lejos la peor de las entregas que he terminado y apenas hay buen uso de vehículos en las misiones.

    La campaña, de verdad, me ha parecido casi un insulto por dos motivos. El primero es sin duda la trama. Por algún motivo controlamos dos bandos de spartans: el del Jefe Maestro y el de cuatro actores famosetes como Nathan Fillion y Mike Colter que dan cuanto menos pocas ganas de interesarte por ellos. Lo peor de todo esto es que el Jefe Maestro pasa inadvertido durante toda la campaña e incluso no le controlamos ni a él ni a su equipo en la misión final. Me ha parecido un verdadero insulto. El segundo motivo por el que la campaña me parece absurdamente seca es por su modo de dificultad legendario. Con un compañero nos hemos tirado la vida zona por zona porque salen enemigos hasta la saciedad. Este juego cruza con creces la delgada línea que marca lo divertido de lo tedioso, y la cruza a velocidades vertiginosas. Áreas en las que hay 10 oleadas de 20 enemigos, zonas en las que simplemente puedes ir corriendo o tratar de eliminar todos los vehículos sería cosa de incluso horas... Simplemente absurdo.

    Cabe destacar la nefasta y vomitiva IA de tus aliados. Debe de ser de las peores que he contemplado jamás en un videojuego. Es impresionante lo inútiles que pueden llegar a ser los bots hasta el punto de que te planteas por qué los han metido sabiendo que la IA era una soberana porquería. Se quedan quietos mirando al infinito mientras reciben daño por todas partes, en medio de la batalla se agachan y se ponen a disparar muriendo al instante, si necesitas que te revivan y estás más lejos de 10m de ellos rara vez van a llegar a rescatarte y menos aún si estás en un diferente nivel de altura, cogen vehículos al tuntún y no paran de estrellarlos y lanzarse en modo kamikaze contra los enemigos muriendo en el intento. En serio, un rotundo 0 a los bots y a la inteligencia artificial aliada.

    Poco más puedo decir de Halo 5. Ni en compañía he disfrutado de la experiencia. Realmente terminamos el juego por compromiso más que por diversión.

    Si por mi fuera le suspendería, pero no solo de la campaña viven los Halo y su modo online será interesante como siempre, pero como no lo he jugado, no opino.

    Halo 5: Destiny. Is really the truth about the title. how can you rip off moves from destiny into a halo game. The whole game can be completed in a few hours and then all thats left is the multiplayer pvp. Not to mention now that the coop system is not couch play, but needs to be bought by a friend or family member that also owns a xbox one just to play the 3 hour story mode. microHalo 5: Destiny.

    It just seems like they're just trying to milk the licence as much as they can now without thinking about the fan base. if they actually made a great game people wouldn't mind the micro transactions as much. if you're going to make a half made game and make the focus of the game its multiplayer mode even tho the franchise is known for its amazing story and lore not to mention its amazing gameplay. You're not benefiting your own company or the fan base surrounding it. Take your time even if you need to keep pushing the release dates forward, do not bring out a game that isnt ready, if you think this game was finished and this is what they had or have in mind for future halo titles.

    I give this game an 8 for the multiplayer alone. The story is horrible. I'll get that out the way right now. I could go in to detail as to why, but as a big-time Halo fan since CE, just take my word for it. It focuses too much on Locke, and not enough on Chief. It's extremely anticlimactic and makes almost no sense within the Halo universe. I would love to hear that 343 retcons this storyI give this game an 8 for the multiplayer alone.

    But the multiplayer, however, is a different story. Since Halo 2 I have not had this much fun in matchmaking. People who claim to be Halo purists will complain about the "Spartan abilities." But in a big time fan's opinion, they fit in perfectly. In today's day and age, the classic style of combat in Halo wouldn't work any more other than for nostalgia. I wouldn't mind having a "classic physics mode", or something, but I think the abilities very much have their place and are a welcome change. The gunplay is still very much classic Halo, and the abilities add a much faster pace to the game. Even though the game is much quicker, the game still has core Halo mechanics. Shields, grenades, and spawns all work nearly the same as any other Halo, and each map still has specific power weapon spawns as well as classic weapons such as a Halo 2 BR and a CE magnum. I think the game is still worth playing even though there is no split screen. If you are looking to get back into competitive Halo, this one is definitely worth a buy.    … Expand

    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

    My rewritten story: Halo 5s story only focusing on chef and locke, locke the untrusted agent, sent by ONI, trying to find intel of chef and we get to see that cutscene where Halsey talks about locke sent to kill her and his intention what he will do to Chef will be mysterious.

Next halo game, not halo 6, a halo game that we get to play at the time where chef become a Spartan and how he meets the blue team in the Spartan 2 program. And we get to see other agents sent by ONI or UNSC. We get to see how buck became a Spartan in the UNSC. There's a funny dialog between locke and buck like a bromance. But Buck notices that locke hiding something from him, his intention in the Spartan program. At that time he has nothing to do with the chef but he's hunting Dr. Halsey to assassinate her. In the end, we see a cutscene that takes place in halo 6 where chief goes rogue and ONI give locke new mission to hunt chief instead. Halo 6 where we get to see Cortana and the timeline in halo 5.… Expand

    Halo 5: Guardians is a bit of a course correction from Halo 4 in terms of multiplayer layout and single player campaign.

    HOWEVER, whereas Halo 4 had an excellent story, Halo 5 tends to stumble, relying heavily on outside source material that most other than the most devoted Halo fans will be familiar with.

    Other than the storytelling hiccups though, the game play is much better than past if not the most tightly tuned yet with an emphasis on speedy maneuvers (you feel like a spartan soldier actually). The level design is also greatly improved compared to Halo 4's boxy campaign sections, giving you a greater reliance on these new tweaks.

    The multiplayer is also the best the series has ever been, going back to that Arena style battles that we have all grown accustomed to with past Halos while injecting new life with all the new game play additions.

    Halo 5 is a great addition to the franchise with it's new emphasis on game play and overhauled multiplayer collection. Although it does stumble in the storytelling department and odd omission of split screen, we can forgive these minor gripes in the long run due to a strong showing in most other departments of the game...    … Expand

    This Game is a Disrespect to the Halo Saga. Campaign is the worst in the Series the Multiplayer is not as good as People are Saying. Soundtrack is good but as a Halo Title it is Pretty bad. And The Marketing is Fooling you nothing like that happens in the Game. Overall a Disappointment.
    Hopefully Halo Infinite is Better.

    Halo 5 is a great game ,with a new multiplayer ,the history of the campaign is good but you need to read some books to understand it ,it has a terrible flaw but doesn't, affect the history itself .
    in summary another chapter in the franchise that you will enjoy.it also finish the history with a halo 2 feel.

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

    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]
