Better than Halo 4 (but that's not saying much) the story is a fun ride, but nonsensical. If you turn your brain off and get over the onslaught on Canon, you'll enjoy yourself more. Arbiter returns, which is cool, but he's not playable. My main issue with this game is that it was falsely advertised.

i bought this when it first came out and beat it on the first day personally i think the story was a bit lax but the graphics were great the game play mecanics were cool and i like that they included a lot of lore in dialog

Developer 343 Industries has engineered the strongest combat Halo has ever seen, with tons of excellent weapons, varied maps, an expansive and intense new multiplayer mode joining a host of returning greats, some game-changing new mobility, and impressive cooperative campaign.

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

While Halo 5 's single-player campaign is still under heavy Spartan guard – unsurprising considering the game isn't due for release until this time next year – Stuff was offered a sneak preview of the three-week multiplayer beta that'll be going live at the end of December.

Much noise has been made in Halo 5's marketing campaign about the hunt for truth, setting it up as a muscle-bound game of cat and mouse between the legendary Master Chief and plucky franchise newcomer

Meaty campaign; Huge arsenal; new moves; Intelligent open-plan level design

Not enough variety; Warzone needs more balancing; Microtransactions feel unnecessary

The Chief is back! ...Oh, wait. He's gone again. Fortunately, a new protagonist known as Spartan Locke and his team of supersoldiers is on the scene to chase Master Chief down for going AWOL-apparently he's trying to save the world without being bogged down by bureaucracy.

The beginning of chapter thirteen is cool; and Exuberant Witness is awesome

The suicidal conveyor belt of failed AI revives; I wouldn't trust these braindead Spartans to open a tin of peaches without adult supervision, let alone save humanity
