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.

El juego puede que sea uno de los mejores juegos de halo simplemente tuvo una campaña incompleta

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
