A less than ideal frame-rate never seemed to hold the series back before but the decision to aim for 60fps in the new game benefits everyone in the end.

While the Master Chief Collection and PC ports of the first two Halo games have given us a taste of 60fps action, the latest installment in the franchise is the first game in the series to deliver such a high frame-rate at the outset. The decision to target 60fps gameplay across the entire game is the boldest decision 343 takes in redefining Halo for the new generation of console hardware. Gamers were given an early peek at the game with the Halo 5 beta almost one year ago, a test which helped shape the final game, and 343 was never shy to share their vision of the game with the fanbase. Throughout its development, 343 has maintained a dialogue with the community in an effort to really deliver what the fans desire. The answer to those criticisms is Halo 5: Guardians. This was followed by last year's Halo: the Master Chief Collection, which only served to fuel those concerns through a pile of technical shortcomings and server problems. Blazing a new trail while pleasing the old guard is never easy and the release of Halo 4 in 2012 left many wondering if 343 could really capture classic Halo - particularly following its disappointing multiplayer component. 343 Industries was tasked with creating something that caters to both long-time fans and newcomers alike. Of course, building upon a franchise made popular by another creator is never an easy task. That studio is 343 Industries and with Halo 5: Guardians, we get our first taste of the genre-defining shooter running on the latest generation of console hardware. However, when Bungie, the creators of Halo, stepped away from the franchise in 2010, Microsoft was left with no choice but to build a studio capable of taking Halo forward. The original Halo: Combat Evolved redefined the first-person shooter for the console space and helped to make the Xbox brand a success.

When it comes to Microsoft's presence in the console space, there is no franchise more synonymous with the Xbox brand than Halo.
