Haven't had this much fun since Halo 2 and 3. Halo 5 plays really smooth and the main story is actually great. Multiplayer gets even better. 343 did an amazing job with Halo 5. It's a must buy for any Halo fan!

I can finally use one trigger to zoom and the other to shoot! took long enough. It is a cool game. I hate Spartan Locke but that is irrelevant. Online is cool and most importantly, no season passes!!!!

Halo 5 is a great game. From the multiplayer to the absolutely gorgeous single player. I have very happy to see the 343 has done such a great job with the Halo franchise.
I highly recommend this game!

Love the multiplayer and the new elements that it brings to table. Love how you can play with a lot of friends and make custom games with them and have designated servers so it always plays flawlessly

The game itself is great, but the commercials are misleading. The game isnt really agent lock vs master cheif. You play maybe 2-3 levels as master cheif and the rest as agent lock ans his team. Still great, but know what you are buying.

343 went in a new direction with this new addition to the Halo franchise. The matchmaking is high pace and interesting, the campaign is completely different from the past. Definitely worth the play through. Pick it up and check it out!

Overall, the gane is what you expect from Halo so if love the series, you will love this one. However, the campaign seemed to be less exciting than usual making it lackluster. The multi-player is great and takes Halo to all new places.

It is an excellent game, a must for Halo fans and anybody new to Halo. The Limited edition adds some great stuff also, like the metallic 3D figure, the special weapon skin and the Warzone Req pack.

This is my new favorite halo game. The story is awesome but sometimes hard to follow and sets up the story for the next game. The multiplayer is amazing and war zone brings a new take on halo.

At the end of the day, Halo 5 is not a game you've never played before. It IS, however, one of the most polished and breathtakingly beautiful games ever made. Worth the price, although the limited edition is slightly skimpy.

Halo 5 lives up to the Halo name, however I am extreamly dissapointed that there is no split screen for co-op, that's what Halo was all about! I can only hope enough ppl complain and that they come out with a patch for this.

This is what you expect out of Halo. Story is immersive and multiplayer with full dedicated servers is awesome. I haven't experienced any hiccups online at all and I've had it since launch.

If you like Halo for the multiplayer, this is the tightest it has ever been. Plays phenomenally, but the singleplayer's story is a bit lackluster with a surprising lack of Master Chief...

This game is an incredible coop game. It is disappointing that split screen is not an option on this game (as it was a staple in older halo games) but it is a great game nonetheless.

if your a huge halo multiplayer fan then the limited edition is the one you want. You get tons of items in the warzone req, lots of rare items to give you huge advantage in the game.

as an old school Halo player I find myself frustrated with Halo 5, new people coming from Halo 4 or just new to Halo will most likely like it. The story was boring and felt repetitive, would had been better to play blue team for the majority of the campaign, felt it was more there story but the game focused more on just reaching blue team. Multiplayer could be better with more maps, different variety play list, the spawn system is horrible. I dont want to be too negative, i think there's a good game in here somewhere 343 just needs to improve on some of the things and get rid of others before its too late

So far I've put about 40 hours into multiplayer. Warzones is a fun new twist to multiplayer and arena is just as awesome as ever. The single player story is also pretty decent.

Really great game & the Xbox icon(Master Chief) is back with a vengeance. 343 did a good job on this game and the story was solid and multiplayer is probably the best one yet.
