    I usually don't go with "special" edition versions. glad I got this one, it comes with a figure to put together (metal figure) 14 days of live, extra profile cards from in game characters. war zone req pack.

    The best part of Halo was split screen campaign and they got rid of that. I do not play Halo for the stats but merely for the socialization. Good game but not happy with the changes.

    The added Spartan abilities make for a much faster paced game mixed with the Halo you know and love. The added 'The Fall of Reach' film is great. A must own for any Halo or Xbox fan.

    My son is an avid Halo Gamer and has to have new editions as soon as they come out. He tells me he loves this release and is happy with the bonus features he got by pre-ordering.

    The game is incredibly amazing. Having a blast playing, but the packaging for the special edition is less then stellar. Was not worth the extra money I paid for it.

    The game comes in a very nice steel case and comes with plenty of goodies that fans of the Halo series would enjoy. It comes with everything that the more expensive collectors edition has except the big statue.

    This version added a new feel to halo while keeping an original edge to excite all the original halo fan. 343 studios did a great job making this compared to the last 2 halos.

    If you are a Halo fan then you will definitely love Halo 5. The new additions to the game are great and they don't take away from the core mechanics that have made Halo.

    Great game, definitely not halo 2 but this is how I invisioned how halo should of been since the beginning, especially when I have read all the books. Worth the money.

    It's fine but feels like there's less Health

    Halo 5 feels fine. It's a fun game, but at the same time, many of the changes give it the same pacing as Call of Duty. The assault rifle damage range feels incredibly high, and is able to take down a Spartan in multiplayer in under a second. In the few Warzone maps I played, many of the capture points were within assault rifle range of each other, so the pistol wasn't even needed. In the end, if feels a bit like Titanfall crossed with Advanced Warfare's dodge ability, which is ok but not the pacing I come to a Halo game expecting. I'm a bit let down.

    The presentation of the game was very appealing, love the game play and even thought I'm not used to see Halo 5 with micro transations. I can deal with it.

    Single player campaign is worth the purchase. I have yet to try the multi player but I'm sure it's on point just previous Halo games have always been.

    Another great entry in the Halo series. Controls have improved, default configuration makes more sense, and the longer campaign is a welcome addition.

    If you're a halo fan, you should have this already. If not, play the other games, the buy this. It's a fantastically told story with great visuals.

    The thing I hate most about best buy is they never have anything you pre-order on time especially limited editions or collector's edition of games

    I have played all the Halo games from the first and so far I have really enjoyed Halo 5 too. Besides the new good looks another good thing is it feels more like the original.

    Awesome cinematic sequences, much improved (although complex) storyline and the weapon handling is vastly improved over the previous iteration.
