The Warzone mode is also a highlight for some, though opinions are divided on the game's story.

    The story was ok. Online is amazing especially with all the customizable content. The war zone mode is a lot of fun. Biggest draw back is that thereally is no local coop

    Halo 5: Guardians is like getting the new iPhone. You know what it looks like, what it feels like and what it does, you just need time to figure out the new features.

    My teenage sons are glued to this game - they are allowed 2 hours a night on it and it seems to be the highlight of the evening for them

    Great improvement over the Master Chief Collection. It is a letdown that you can't play two player multiplayer on the same XBOX though.

    It almost looked the same, but the sound, frame quality and game-play is really good. You can beat it fast, so just take your time!

    These are the best mechanics in a halo game ever but the online is lacking a lot of modes that are to be added later. When that happens I'll give it five stars.

    I have played all the previous Halo games to great length...and Halo 5 fits in beautifully. I look forward to future sequels to see where the story continues.

    The problem with this game is that they leave you at a cliff hanger at the end and the multi player is kinda a little dumbed down like 4v4? It's really stupid 6v6 would of worked better for slayer and sorry war zone even tho I'm not bad at it it's still kinda dumb they force req packs which you can just start the game today and get destroyed by a guy with a forerunner battle rifle which is horrible and unbalanced sorry star wars battlefront was a lot more fair then this game

    Not Halo as we know it.

    I have always loved Halo. I was willing to give 343 a chance but after 4, I knew things weren't looking good. Halo 5 is just not Halo at all. It doesn't feel right. It's obvious 343 just doesn't understand why Halo is so revered. If you are a true fan of Halo, then it died after Reach. Halo 4 wasn't the worst and I had hopes 5 would be better after 343 learned a few lessons. Sadly, they are proving that they shouldn't be allowed to make games. You have been warned.

    Haven't finished the story but so far it is amazing. Got the LE for the steel-book case as I have done with all other Halos.

    At minimum a true collectors item. Not since Halo 2 has a steel box been worth every cent. Any Halo fan will love this game.

    I absolutely love the halo series, and Halo 5 guardians is no different. It's the same shooter we've all grown to love.

    First game playing on Xbox one. Coming from PlayStation I really enjoyed playing halo. Great game for a first timer to Xbox if you like FPS games.

    An excellent continuation of the Halo franchise that will leave you on tenterhooks for the final game in the trilogy

    This new halo 5 is great and the most challenging legendary campaign out of any of the halo games made before this.

    Overall the campaign story was great, if you have played the other Halo games it is easy to follow, just wish you played more as Master Chief
