I have been a halo player since before i even knew what things like space ships and guns were. all of them, CE, 2, 3, ODST, Wars, Reach, 4, i have played them ALL.
and i must say that halo 5 is the best halo i have yet to play. and that is only from the BETA, the glitchy buggy beta that i am able to say, with confidence, that halo 5 blows reach, 4, 2 and CE out of the water, and just makes it past 3 as my favorite gameplay-wise. Are there things that should be fixed? absolutely! But, even with an OP SMG, occasionaly framerate drops and somewhat long loading times, Halo 5: Guardians is an experience worth more than the $60 price tag.
