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]

I wasn't happy playing spartan locke but they should have put more of masterchief in the game but the gameplay was allright though and that's all I have to say really about this game.

Yeah I don't care about a new wannabe Master Chief. This campaign was flat from the very beginning and I can't say I have ever seen a chapter in Halo fall off this hard or this bad. You can't have Halo without Master Chief - period.

Developers from 343 Industries have finally caught the right way and with the fifth part they fixed the mistakes which they made in the previous installment. So they provide the players with an absolutely perfect and catchy campaign. [Issue#258]

The story may well be confusing – especially for newcomers – and many characters are sadly lacking in depth, but that doesn’t detract from how fun shooting your way through the game’s fifteen missions is when playing solo and even more so with three friends.

Halo 5 Guardians is a great new iteration in the Halo franchise. Frantic and intense gunplay against a large number of enemies, though it could be better in vehicles missions. 343i's game shines with the new and great Warzone mode and balanced and intense Arena multiplayer.

Halo 5: Guardians is an exciting Halo package, marred only by some questionable design decisions, like microtransactions and some shoddy friendly-AI in the campaign. It’s not a classic Halo, but 343 is moving in a good direction with the franchise.

Halo 5 has come through addressing a lot of the concerns that fans had leading up to its launch. The online multiplayer is stable, delivers classic Halo multiplayer, and freshens it up all at the same time. The single player campaign is enjoyable enough for those looking for a classic FPS experience, but not all too bothered about a strong story.

Halo 5: Guardians is a fine-tuned machine. It has a robust and highly addictive competitive multiplayer component, a large variety of aesthetically pleasing customizations and some of the tightest controls to ever grace a Halo title. Unfortunately, the campaign leaves much to be desired.

343 Industries made a terrific impression with their first dip into the franchise, but with a lackluster campaign and multiplayer that still needs tuning, Halo 5: Guardians makes them look like one-hit wonders.

It's a great game. I highly recommend it. It has a lot of action, its mechanics are very good, the story line is very solid and of course the master chief is great.

Lazy and disappointing campaign. Online was well done. Loved the war zone mode. As a big fan of the series I wish more effort was put into the story. It felt generic.

The campaign, which is central to any Halo game, was one of the weakest points of Halo 5. The story was widely criticized for its lack of cohesion and reliance on underdeveloped plotlines. The heavy focus on introducing Fireteam Osiris, rather than continuing Master Chief's arc, alienated many fans who wanted more of the Spartan they’d come to love. Furthermore, the marketing campaign built up a narrative of a showdown between Master Chief and Spartan Locke, but this never materialized in a satisfying way. The payoff left many feeling misled and frustrated.Gameplay-wise, Halo 5 introduced changes that were polarizing. While the fast-paced movement and new abilities, such as the Spartan Charge and Ground Pound, added a modern feel, they also made the game feel less like the classic Halo experience. The level design in the campaign lacked the depth and variety the series is known for, often feeling repetitive and uninspired.Multiplayer, traditionally a strong point for Halo, had its highs and lows. The competitive Arena mode was well-received for its balance and classic feel, but the new Warzone mode, while ambitious, often felt chaotic and poorly balanced. Additionally, the lack of split-screen multiplayer—a staple of the series—was a glaring omission that disappointed many fans who cherished the series for its local co-op **** conclusion, while Halo 5: G

They lied about the story and all that remains is a sad joke like, ooh you thought? Hahahaha… no. Ever since Bungie left to make dEsTiNy 1 and poo & 343 took over ****.HALO
SummaryPeace has been devastated as colony worlds are unexpectedly attacked. What's more, when humanity's greatest hero goes missing, a new Spartan is assigned the task of hunting the Master Chief and solving a mystery that threatens the whole of the galaxy.
