Picked this up at the midnight release was super excited to play until I realized I had a broken disc. Had to wait till the next morning to return the disc. They wanted to ship me another copy but I complained enough to have them swap the disc. Fun game but only 4 stars due to disc issue.

Halo 5 brings back the core game play of the original Halo franchise with some amazing new features including warzone which is an amazing multiplayer experience, outstanding visuals with a compelling story, and free dlc until June 2016.

Graphics are pretty phenomenal. My family enjoys the expansion pack. Takes hours to download/install. If you buy as a gift, I would recommend a pre install over night.

The story is pretty good although some of the boss battles are a bit repetitive. Great shooting mechanics as well as very fun multiplayer game modes.

Definitely fun and refreshing addition to series. But in no way as good as Halo 3 was.

After playing the beta this past winter I've been been anticipating the release of this game. In my opinion, Halo 5 has the potential of being the best of all the Halo series.

Picked this up in February for $50. Well worth it at that price. The steelbook looks great. I haven't finished the campaign but the multiplayer is fun as always.

Halo has lost its touch since its not under bungie anymore. The game is still good just if you prefer halo 2 and 3 to 4 you probably will not like halo 5 to much.

Bad Advertising it is a toy not an XBOX

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
At 250$ i thought i was getting a low gig. xbox1 as the prices in xboxes just went down. and the way it was advertised made it appear as a limited edition XBOX1 so of course without reading anything i bought it to find out it was a dumb toy. i will be returning this item. also as soon as it comes out. it drops down to 100 when it was 250$ just hours before that. the other bad part is i was looking under xbox1's when this came up under that selection which is why i also thought it was an xbox1.

Cool Items, Decent Game
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Cool included items like the metal figurine. The game itself is decent at best. The previous installments of Halo have been much more fun in terms of split screen multiplayer which this version lacks. Graphics have improved but that is not enough. Game play is more important.

Extremely Disappointed in Halo 5
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I'm extremely disappointed in this (only this) halo game. The reason for my disappointment is the game does not support local Co-Op play. My significant other and I have played all 4 previous games and had a blast doing so, but with this game we cannot. The game is probably still fun but we have no desire to even start playing as we can't do it together.
Buyers Beware - If you enjoy local Co-Op, this Halo game does not have it.
