The story is fantastic, multiplayer is incredibly fun, and gameplay is so smooth and enjoyable. I was skeptical due to messy release that was MCC, but this was the exact opposite! Matchmaking is fast, the game modes are great, and it's just an overall good game!

As far as packaging goes, I am really glad that I bought the Limited Edition. The steel book looks really nice and it came with a few cool (little) extras. As far as the game goes...it's Halo. Nothing too spectacular, but the multiplayer is fun and I have yet to experience any glitches, which is nice.

This is a must have for any gamer. Great story and excellent multiplayer. I play it on a 27" BenQ gaming monitor and it looks AMAZING! I have the Astro A50 wireless headset which really makes me hear all the extra sounds and brings the game to life.

Halo 5 picks up after the events of 4, but seems to think everyone has read up on the lore before this game, and isn't its strongest campaign to date. But, the multiplayer side is superb with an amazing looking forge mode coming and free map packs.

Purchased for my 18 year old son for Christmas. I wasn't sure what it all included just knew it was more than the original Halo game. My son was surprised and very excited he received the game. Comes with lots of upgrades the other does not.

I was very excited about Halo 5, this was the first preorder I've ever done and I'm glad I did it. Especially for the limited edition. You won't be let down with this game. Halo fan or not it's got stunning graphics and is fun for everyone.

Amazing storyline as is expected with the Halo franchise. Revamped multiplayer now more closely resembles a mix of old school Halo, some fun game modes, mixed with the req packs similar to Titanfall. Overall amazing game and hours of fun.

Good gameplay mechanics
Lacks story
No coop on same xbox
Multiplayer decent at best
Not enough maps (yet)
All together it's a decent game. Perhaps better suited for new comers, but for veteran Halo fans I would say wait.

I can only review this from the campaign perspective. I did co-op with a friend and we loved it even though the story wasn't as good as the previous entries.
I've never been much of a Halo PvPer, but I hear it's quite fun as well.

Definitely recommend the Limited Edition of Halo 5 for any big fan of the Halo franchise! Definitely enjoy having the Limited Edition of the game include the REQ pack bundle along with access to the animated film of "Fall of Reach".

Anyone who is a fan of halo know the Multiplayer is iconic. I've tried really hard to get into the story but it falls pretty short this time around. Multiplayer has been reworked and is built on an entirely new engine. Its refreshing and good to go back to combat roots.

Have the rest of the series. Seems like a never ending saga of games all about the same as the last. This one promised to be the best though haven't heard much from my gamer friends that played the previous titles with me.

The story mode of the game is 7/10 just because is nothing new. But what makes this a most own game is the multiplayer! If you enjoy causing havoc while playing in big teams, this will make it your all time favorite game.

Has a few problems here and there, but ultimately it's still a great Halo game. Campaign falls a little short, but it was still a blast to play. Multiplayer respects the originals while still pushing the series forward giving a good balance of old and new.

I love the pace and look of the game. Highly recommend to anyone. Didn't know for sure about the transactions in the game, but if you don't want to use it you don't have to. You can enjoy the game without doing so.

Yes about time to have a new Halo game.
Game play is typical Halo style, MP is good with the few new modes they have. I've played it more than I typically have after I've beaten the game. Looking forward to more!

I mostly buy games now for the co-op and campaign experience and halo has both in one great game. Continuing the epic saga of the Master Chief until the next great game. Wish it had a co-op firefight/zombie mode.

A great installment in the series

Halo 5 is an interesting installment in the series. The campaign is solid, and the gunplay is feels like a Halo game. With the additions of the ground pound and emphasis on evade maneuvers, 343 has made a faster-paced Halo game. The multiplayer component is also improved, but the lack of split-screen gameplay is disappointing as that was one of Halo's signature components. Hopefully this can return in the next Halo game.
Furthermore, the multiplayer matchmaking could use some improvement as more game modes need to be added for social multiplayer gamers. And for competitive players, matchmaking needs adjustment to allow for teams of 4 to face teams of 4 as opposed to teams of 4 facing off a group of individuals at different ranks.
Despite these multiplayer issues, Halo 5 is a solid game that a majority of Halo and FPS fans may find enjoyable.
