    Another Great Halo game

    Halo has always shown its high quality multiplayer and it's in depth sci-fi story. The graphics and concept of the guardians has made Halo 5 by far the most beautiful game I've played on Xbox One so far. The story won't give you a connection to the character unless your familiar with the side stories available out of game. The multiplayer is definitely the best multiplayer since Halo 2.

    Halo 5 is like part 1

    Solo gameplay is good, but the story seems short/incomplete. It's basically a part1 because to me...not a lot is accomplished toward the overall story. Multiplayer: Depends on what you like. I've never been a halo multiplayer person. Just seems like I unload a full clip and still the player isn't dead. I seem to die easier though. I'll stick to CoD or Battlefront for my multiplayer.

    An exciting continuation of a story from start to end that leaves you wanting more. Graphics, sound , and gameplay are outstanding and done well by 343 and Microsoft the lines of good and bad are blurred as you find yourself choosing sides and waiting to see how the story escalates as you go to new world in the halo universe

    Microsoft has a winner with the Halo franchise coming back with Master Chief. I own the xbox one and could not wait for this game. Loving the graphics and game play. Multiplayer has been upgraded and refined with the REQ packs and cooperative play. Love playing the campaign with friends. Must buy for all Halo fans.

    Great game. Wonderful story. Good graphics. The gunplay is consistently excellent, and the maps are well designed and paced. This is the best multiplayer available in a halo game. Moreover, the campaign is top notch though a bit short, but I thoroughly enjoyed this game and am happy to include it in the Halo series. Still one of the best series on any system

    I would have given this 5 not for the campaign, but the it's (multiplayer) and the fact 343 continues to release new content months after release, keeping the title fresh. You must admit,m even if you're dissapointed in how Master Chief's story has progressed (only four missions for blue team in the whole campaign? Warzone is a great addition to

    The story itself is pretty bad, not much character development and has a lack of background. The ending is quite awful as well. However, Warzone is simply amazing. Chaos everywhere with AI in the background, it is a lot of fun. Arena is fun as well, and REQ packs are addicting to offer. In this case, the good outweighs the bad.

    Campaign is a little short but was lots of fun. Nice having a squad with you especially playing on legendary. There are lots of nice upgrades and few new weapons while still making it feel like halo and not cod. The multiplayer is fantastic especially warzone. Great game over all

    I've really enjoyed Halo 5 so far. Thanks to the X1 hardware, it's the best looking Halo to date, and I enjoy the gameplay more being able to scope my shots. The game also introduces some great new characters as well as bringing back some older favorites. I highly recommend it.

    The game itself seemed short, but graphically it's incredible. The game was made to run at 60FPS and while I did notice some lesser graphics in the background it did not detract from the experience. I play for the story and the campaign, so multiplayer, while fun, was not my focus. Great game, can't wait for the finale!

    Absolutely stunning graphics, with an amazing story that has to be my second favorite story in the series. Multiplayer is a blast, but I found myself unable to play by myself because the lobbiesame swarmed with rookies. So I lose a lot. I only play this game with my clan.

    The game is a lot of fun, it is fast paced and very immersive. Online game play is solid and quick specially area game types, Warzone is a bit confusing but it is a lot of fun with a big group of friends. I highly recommend this game, specially if you are a big Halo fan

    People are complaining that the campaign is too short, and while I agree it probably should have been longer, what we did get was a great experience. I am looking forward to many months of multiplayer action and seeing how 343 plans to keep this game relevant as the holiday releases start to flow in.

    Halo 5 is definitely one of the best games in the Halo series, the online multiplayer is great, and the campaign is amazing, and even has a little bit of Destiny and Titanfall type characteristics mixed into the game. I like all the features that were added.

    Multiplayer is far, far better than it was in Halo 4. Campaign is questionable as far as story goes, but the actual gameplay is excellent, too (lots of different weapons that actually fulfill different niches, including unique weapons, sandbox fight arenas).
