HALO 5 Limited Edition is almost too pretty to open. This release has sparked me to revisit the previous games. Yes, this includes the original XBOX HALO.
A great series is made with amazing action coupled with an amazing storyline.
Highly recommend.

Halo 5 is a great deal of fun. The graphics are beautiful and the gameplay is very smooth. It feels a bit different than the older games in the series due to the coop/team elements in the single player campaign. A must have for any Xbox One owner.

New style halo game. Although the campaign is lacking in depth as its only about 7 hours, its still a fresh and fun one to play through. Where the game falls short on campaign it more than excels in the multiplayer. The new mode warzone is enough to make up for a short campaign.

I had a lot of expectations for this game but unfortunately it was a let down. Graphics are outstanding but cannot say that the story is great. As a halo fan since its inception, this is not a very good story. Hope 343 industries can redeem themselves. Again its an ok game.

Of course Halo is awesome franchise. Of course it gets 5 stars.
It really is a great game. Campaign and online multiplayer are really fun to play and keeps me entertained for awhile.
If you own a xbone then this is a must own game.

Halo 5 certainly isn't the same Halo we've grown to know and love, but if you play it with an open mind and enjoy it for what it is you will have a good time. Multiplayer aspect is a little stronger than the campaign, but both are great fun especially with friends!

The HALO formula is as strong and fun as ever, but they designers have changed things up by refining all the guns, and adding co-op to the campaign so your friends can join you.
The multiplayer is as exhilarating and fast as ever with new map designs and rules.

They have changed so much in this game to make it awesome. My fiancé absolutely loved it. The online multiplayer proves to be a challenge but its worth it. The limited edition one comes with a lot more than the regular one.

If you are a Halo fan you will love this game and be disappointed at the same time. They did well going back to the roots. Controls are easy and good. Campaign story is disappointing though. Multiplayer is fun and new with still being the old classic feel.

Solid gameplay throughout. No coop matchmaking to my knowledge and disappointment. The story is so-so since I didn't have the same excitement and interest as the previous games. It's worth playing but it'd probably be best to purchase this at a discount.

Listen... The story is lacking and if you don't follow the lore you will be lost. It has potential but the huge marketing campaign hunt the truth is not played out out the way it was displayed. All that being said.... The gameplay is amazing so fluid so balanced it will take you back to halo 2. In fact I would say the balancing is better than halo two considering all the additions they made to the game. You will enjoy the campaign the most on legendary with 4 player co op ( a blast) and warzone yes WARZONE will keep you coming back for more. As much as I wanted more from the story, the campaign gameplay and multiplayer gave me so much more than I was expecting...... Get this game! 343 please if you're reading this find a way to add split screen

A superb campaign, particularly in its level design, coupled with the all-new Warzone mode and the return of arena multiplayer makes Halo 5 the best FPS game of this generation and possibly the best Halo title ever.

Well, they did not bring Bungie back, but 343 can make a great campaign. I like the campaign improvements such as being able to issue some commands to your squad. The weapons are of course cool and you will drive yourself nuts trying to collect the skulls. On the other hand, the multiplayer is a bit lackluster unless you like playing Call of Duty style. By that I mean getting corner camped, grenaded from halfway across the map, and most annoyingly, spawn killed. I knew it would not be there, but many fans might miss Griffball and Firefight. I have yet to try Warzone, so it might be good, but the req system sounds like you will get dominated by the dudes who spam AC-130's and nukes in CoD.

One of the best campaigns in a while. Nice to see some creative level design for a change where levels branch out and there are multiple paths to take. Multiplayer is the best it has been in years as well.

Halo 5 is a solid addition to the series. It has an interesting campaign which is light on plot, but takes Halo players to new locations we haven't seen before. The multiplayer is the strongest portion with better gunplay than in Halo 4.

Great game. If you like halo this game is the best in the series. Limited edition comes with the warzone req bundle which gives you 2 premium packs of requisitions per week for 7 weeks. Great buy!!

While it is not the Halo of Old, there are plenty of things that warrant giving this game a positive rating. First, this game has evolved while maintaining the Halo feel. I know a lot of people who may not like Spartan abilities, but with Halo 5 they are equal for all, unlike Reach and Halo 4. Second, I like the Req packs. While I won't spend the extra money, having the ability to earn packs is pretty cool. Third, Warzone is a great new multiplayer mode, which is refreshing to the Halo Franchise. Finally, while the Campaign is not as advertised (Master Chief Vs Spartan Locke) there are some great storylines moving forward.

Best multiplayer halo yet! This game has a game mode for every shooter fan. The req packs make you want to keep playing. The story mode is fun when played with friends, but the story is weak.

The graphics on this game is amazing. Other then that Halo 5 is like every other Halo game. The story is a little slow, but at least the gameplay was fun. I highly recommend buying it from best buy especially for the discount.
