Halo 5 isn't perfect. The Campaign was more linear then I'd like because it was designed for co-op action. The multiplayer needs more options and modes. Yet its still pretty damn good game.

A score in the mid 80s is fair.

Well it doesn't really matter because the majority of players will play on normal and 5-6 hours campaign is short.

Not sure on that point. I do not know any Halo players that will play on Normal. I guess your average casual player will but then again it probably will take them longer than 5-6 hours. Pretty much all Halo games are about 8 hours for your average joe COD player and since COD is pretty much the same lenght I doubt it will be an issue.

Anyway from my gaming spear, the majority will be playing Legendary Co-op so we are looking for one hell of a good time.

Players will play the first option that the game give them... I don't know what Halo 5 have on default but most players will only press button fast to start the campaign.

Nonsense. The MP is best in its class. Hands down the most accomplished MP experience since Halo 3. The game play is sublime as well. Based on this it should be an easy 10/10.

It's the rubbish campaign that's not so "awesome". The heads at 343 just don't have a clue when it comes storytelling. Even the forced squad/coop stuff is out of place in the Master Chief segments.
