Halo 5 Guardians is a refreshing addition to the Halo game series that will remind fans of why they first fell in love with the game.
Overall, Halo 5 delivers well on everything it does. From the groundbreaking graphics to the adrenaline pumping campaign and the online component, this game is a must-own for any shooter fan that is looking to see what the 'true' next-gen gaming experience should be like. If you have an Xbox One (with Xbox Live) and love competitive shooters, Halo 5: Guardians is a must-own.
In short, Halo 5: Guardians not only does not disappoint but it is postulated as one of the best shooters of recent years, both for the individual mode, being a game that will be enjoyed by collecting the collectibles and completing it in maximum difficulty and then shooting for the multiplayer, a balanced multiplayer and very, very fun. It is perfect? No, but it is very close to perfection.

Though the story is a draw for longtime fans, most people will be stopping in to check out Halo 5's multiplayer, and it's there 343's direction really shines. Warzone is a lot of fun, and Arena's classic inspiration is made all the better thanks to 343's latest twists to core mechanics. It's gorgeous, it's fast-paced, and it's a blast to play regardless of your skill level. Halo 5 is absolutely the flagship title the Xbox One deserves.
There is still some question as to whether fans will accept Locke as much as they've accepted Master Chief, as well as how significantly the game will hold up in multiplayer once the public servers go live. But for what I've seen and played for so many hours over the weekend, Halo 5: Guardians has indicated that 343 has not only picked up Bungie's ball, but scored with it on multiple occasions.
Halo 5: Guardians is one hell of a rollercoaster for Halo fans. From the sombre and sad times to the action packed thrill ride, it surely was an incredible experience all around.
Halo 5: Guardians erfüllt so gut wie alle Erwartungen an das Xbox One Debüt des Master Chiefs. Bis auf kleinere schwächen bei den Gegner Animationen und der Partner KI bzw. dem fehlenden Splitscreen Co-Op, gibt es eigentlich nichts am neuesten Halo Ableger zu bemängeln. Ihr bekommt eine großartige Kampagne, zusammen mit dem wohl umfangreichsten Multiplayer Aufgebot was die Halo Reihe bis jetzt erlebt hat serviert. Wenn ihr euch zusammen mit 3 Freunden durch die Kampagne ballert, steht einem perfekten Halo Erlebnis eigentlich nichts mehr im Weg.

343 Industries' Halo 5: Guardians has established itself not as "the next" Halo game, or "another sequel," but instead opts to redefine a new beginning for the franchise — one with more commitment to its players
Worth every single penny. A must buy.
It has lost elements such as the split screen or armor skills but the content offer is brutal, the balance of the arsenal almost perfect and the news of its multiplayer mode can have us hooked for months.

Where single-player has its successes and failures, Halo 5's multiplayer is one big, sustained high point.
The story campaign is a mild disappointment but the multiplayer is a bold reinvention of the Halo experience, that should keep the series fresh for years to come.
Halo 5 offers some of the best multiplayer the series has ever seen
As a series, Halo has been the one triple-A shooter that has fans for the story as well as the multiplayer. Depending on where you are on the spectrum between story and gameplay, you can take my grade up or down a half point. If you're looking for a frag-fest, plus all the enticements of the new Warzone mode, Halo 5 is a must-own. All the new abilities and maps are terrific. Those who care about the single-player campaign might not find the story to be as compelling but will appreciate the treatment of lore and production value. Either way, In the coming months, Halo 5: Guardians will undoubtedly have both supporters and detractors playing and commenting about it for years.
