So Halo 5 comes out a week from now on October 27th.  And I'm very excited even preordered the Limited Xbox one that came out today, it even included a digital copy of the game!!!!

Now, I bought the Halo Limited edition xbox one because, 1. I need a xbox one.  And 2. you got access to Halo 5 a week earlier.

So apparently access means you can download, but not play the game, I have a game on my xbox one's HDD right now that I'd love to play but cant for a week. fug you microsoft!!!!!!!!!

Once things settle down in my life, I look forward to getting into it.  The story sounds really interesting, and I hope to see more development of the forerunner story in the middle of the Storm Covenant/UNSC/Master Chief conflict.

Haters gonna hate, but I will always have a soft spot for Halo games =)

I'm starting to think that the appeal of Halo is just kind of fading as there are more and more sci-fi action shooters.  Me?  I'm all for Halo!  I can't wait to get paid and get it!   I love the universe, as I read most of the novels.  So I'm invested, and as long as the story is relatively decent, and warzone is fun, I'll be fine.  I'm seeing from the interwebs that I won't be completely impressed, but I will still enjoy it.  That's enough for me!

Anywhere I can just read the story? Sorry guys, I love the story but I no longer have hours to invest. 

campaign takes like 4 hours to complete.

 

pretty big disappointment. you can tell they just poo this game out for the $$$. i'm afraid halo has taken the same path as CoD.

They need better writers but games rarely have above average writing. Look at The Arkham series as an example. The ending was a big "meh" but it was still fun. Then there's the Assassin's Creed franchise. So much wasted potential.

The game that looks like so much fun but the programming staff decided you can't skip their stupid cut scenes? You would think I was programming it's such a dick move.

So to review, beat the game and about 15h into multiplayer.

single player campaign:. Some cool spots, story isn't as advertised and the game ends right as it starts to get interesting.  I beat it in one sitting in about 5 hours.  Very disappointing

multiplayer war zone: very few maps, gameplay is unbalanced as a Mofo, some guns are just better then others and if you don't have them you're screwed. I have a rare AR that is more powerful then some  BR's.  And there is a BR out here that's better then almost any other default weapon you can get.

Arena, not as unbalanced but you die too easily, and the charge ability is more annoying the helpful and adds to the unbalance of the game.  

Again extreme lack of variety.

IMHO  -  I understand the need to keep a game fresh, but this is a step back in the wrong direction from halo 4 which in my opinion was the best of the halos to date.

7/10. Will hold me over till Star Wars comes out. But will probably stop playing after that.  Too many balance issues with the multiplayer.
