I have played the Halo series from the beginning, and I really enjoy the games. Halo 5 did not disappoint! The gameplay is smooth and the graphics are awesome. Streaming to a Windows 10 pc was smooth as silk! If you are looking for a great game for the holidays, look no further!

game arrived on time and in excellent condition

They removed the local multiplayer from the game, and this is what i bought it for... So thumbs down from me!!

Graphics

No Local multiplayer

My well-used ears do seem to want the higher volume levels of the M80 on the Xbox One, but the ultimately, when chat gets added into the mix, the A40 + M80 delivers with an audible online experience worthy of the ASTRO Gaming namesake.

Halo 5 for Xbox One is the best first-person-shooter in a long while, although it is one that carries several compromises. It pushes the sci-fi series' gameplay forward, but lacks features from older versions. Online battles are great fun, but the campaign's a slog.

Excellent combat; Addictive multiplayer; Buttery-smooth 60fps; Great soundtrack

Pay-to-win microtransactions; No split screen; No drop-in/drop-out; Weak story; Poor squad AI; Uneven visuals

Game Info The flashy television commercials for Halo 5: Guardians would have you believe that Master Chief, hero of Earth and the scourge to the Covenant, has "gone rogue" giving cause for the UNSC to send out a squad of new SPARTAN-IVs to track him down.

A solid game that definitely has an audience. Might lack replay value, could be too short or there are some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.

This story of the Halo campaign really brings out who the Master Chief is and how he cares about Cortana. I also liked to include Spartan Buck who was in Halo 3 Odst and how he wanted to be a Spartan.

Ben tackles what could be the biggest new-gen console exclusive yet, Microsoft's inescapable Halo 5: Guardians.

Everything looks and sounds great; Gameplay refinements, particularly slide/evade, permanent sprint ability and iron sights, are all a positive; Some more expansive campaign level design for the series is good to see.

Some flat, uninteresting characters; Campaign tells an incomplete story, with some wheel-spinning/padding and repetition; Companion AI occasionally lets the side down, Copping an earful of abuse from some fun-detonating troglodyte still an occasional hazard

Since Halo 5: Guardians is essentially a game of three parts, I'm going to split this review into sections covering each of its components: Campaign, Arena, and Warzone. First up comes the Campaign… …and that's where I'm the most ambivalent about the game.
