Halo 5: Guardians delivers epic multiplayer experiences that span multiple modes, full-featured level building tools, and another chapter in the Master Chief saga. The Master Chief saga continues, with solo and up to 4-player cooperative experience that spans three worlds. A mysterious and unstoppable force threatens the galaxy. The Spartans of Fireteam Osiris and Blue Team must embark on a journey that will change the course of history and the future of mankind.
When the UNSC can't track down their most valued asset (Spartan 117: The Master Chief), they send a highly trained ONI soldier (Agent Locke) to bring him back. Master Chief is in search for something very important and will allow nothing to stand in his way, while Agent Locke has vowed to uphold justice and hunt for the truth. As these two titans fight their way through Forerunner and Covenant forces, the fate of the universe hangs in the balance yet again.
