I love Halo. I've been a Halo fan since the beginning, but I'm not completely in love with Halo 5: Guardians.



I enjoy the multiplayer well enough, but the campaign leaves a lot to be desired. The story ends very much in the vein of Halo 2. If you hated the way Halo 2 ended, you'll probably feel the same way about this one. The Master Chief portion, I found, to be pretty decent, but on the other hand, I couldn't care less about the Locke portion.



The multiplayer is solid and I appreciate the changes they've made to make Halo feel a bit more with the times. The ability to aim down sites or thrust dodge are very nice additions. I don't, however, much care for the new Warzone mode. I highly dislike this new trend of having trading cards in every game.



I think, visually, this is the finest looking Halo game to date and it carries a very solid framerate and I experienced next to no hitches in performance.



Those are just some quick touches on my thoughts of Halo 5: Guardians. I hope that you have found my review to be somewhat helpful in deciding to purchase or not. If you're a die hard Halo fan, then it's a no brainer to purchase this game, but if you're on the fence, then it really depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for a fun single player campaign with engaging story, then you will probably want to look somewhere else. If you're wanting a sci-fi type FPS multiplayer action, then this game should be able to scratch that itch.
