So here we are again after a long wait, it has finally happened... A Halo game that we have all been waiting for! When I first saw the teaser for Halo 5 at E3 I was super excited but was still not too sure it would be the game I wanted. After 343 Industries taking over the franchise I have been skeptical if the game would ever return to its original form and glory and with Halo 5, we get exactly that with some new surprises too.
Halo 5 looks really really good. The game runs really smooth and the experience visually is pleasing to say the least. 343 did a good job making sure that the game got a visual update that fit the new generation of this console. What was pleasant to see was that the game also has visuals that match the original as far as what you remember when you think Halo. I am happy to say that there really isn't anything that I could complain about.
Halo 5's gameplay is absolutely incredible. The game has been designed to take you back to the things that made Halo great originally. The guns are very balanced and there really isn't any gun that I would say needs fixed. The maps are designed for the quick and fast pace action that everyone loved with Halo. With the new maps comes the surprise that really adds more to the Halo franchise and brings some new and enjoyable features. Warzone is a new mode that brings even more people in to the battle. The best way to describe what Warzone is like, is that is is kind of a combination of a MOBA and a first person shooter. Warzone is a pleasant addition to the Halo franchise and bring a lot to the table.
With the addition of Warzone they added requisitions which are quick upgrades for your character, guns, and vehicles while you play Warzone. Using the correct requisition at the right time can change the way the game is going and shift the balance of the teams. It adds a lot to the game and allows for more customization for your in game character.
Halo 5 is the game we have been waiting for. It brings all the things we remember and love about Halo with new and exciting features and experiences. The game is well worth the $60 price tag as a new game purchase. If you own and Xbox One then this is a must have for your video game library.
