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.

I disagree, I think the multiplayer is the best since Halo 3, although It really burns my ass about no split screen though. I play Halo with my son and now we have to take turns playing but still really fun multiplayer. I thought they did a good job with the gun designs, really cool stuff. Glad to have the MC edition to play split screen multiplayer on Halo 1-4 when we want but very disappointed we cant with Halo 5.

I think part of what made halo great was the ability when all else fails you could turn around and still stick a plasma grenade in your opponents face, it was a true "it ain't over till it's over" game. This one, not so much, it's easy to die and sometimes you get people that are literally just waiting to get the second shot in and steal the kill.

in a game last week I went 27-19-49, that's right 49 assists, I don't know if I've ever played a game where I've had half that before for assists.  Something is wrong with game balancing when you or anyone gets 49 assists.

 

starwars is here now and I've moved on now though

Halo 5 is officially dead to me, having way more fun playing battlefront.

 

at this point will not play another 343 till its proven to not be crap
