A sequel called [[Halo Infinite]], which serves as the third chapter of the [[Reclaimer Saga]], is being developed.

The [[campaign]] mode of ''Halo 5: Guardians'' has been designed around the game's fireteam-centric focus and alternates between the perspectives of John-117's Blue Team and Spartan Locke's Fireteam Osiris. 343 Industries considers the fireteams (internally known as "musketeers" within the studio) to be the most significant gameplay innovation in ''Halo 5''.<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians ViDoc: A Hero Reborn]]'''</ref> Due to the presence of the fireteams, enemies in ''Halo 5: Guardians'' are designed to be faster, more responsive and generally more lethal.<ref name="h5g yourteam"/> However, the campaign difficulty also scales according to the number of players.<ref name="gi h5"/>

In single player campaign, the other team members operate autonomously but the player is able to give them contextual commands by pressing up the D-pad. The order given is determined by what the player is currently looking at. Some of these orders include ''Attack My Target'', ''Go To Location'', ''Use Vehicle'' (or turret), ''Pick Up Weapon'' and ''Revive Teammate''.<ref name="h5g yourteam">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/halo-5-guardians-your-team-is-your-weapon '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Halo 5: Guardians - Your Team is your Weapon'']</ref> The new revival mechanic allows both AI members of the team to revive the player or players to revive one another in co-op play. When a player takes too much damage, they go into a "downed" state. Active players or AI-controlled fireteam members can revive the downed Spartan within a set time limit which is shown in an icon on their HUDs. If a player remains downed for too long, they will die and be subject to similar respawn mechanics as in the prior games.<ref name="h5g yourteam"/> This is also the case with certain types of damage such as being stuck by a [[plasma grenade]] or falling to one's death.~~<ref name="RUL"/>~~

In [[cooperative play]], players assume the roles of different fireteam members, with each having their own distinct loadout; for example, [[Linda-058]] always spawns with a [[SRS99-S5 AM sniper rifle|sniper rifle]]. The different characters' base attributes also have subtle differences: for example, [[Kelly-087]] is faster than the other members of Blue Team and [[Holly Tanaka|Tanaka]] has a higher [[motion tracker]] range. Characters also have minor differences in traits such as their grenade carrying capacity or thrust recharge rate.<ref name="QG interview">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=10&v=2hVMhkgjQBE '''YouTube''': ''Interview Exclusive Josh Holmes (343 Industries)'']</ref> The [[heads-up display]]s of each team member have a unique design.<ref name="h5g yourteam"/> In co-op, players are able to choose which character to play as, although they are restricted to either Locke or the Master Chief in single player.~~<ref name="RUL"/>~~ Co-operative games run on dedicated servers and allow players to seamlessly drop in and drop out of gameplay by simply joining the game and selecting a character to play as.<ref name="h5g yourteam"/>

The game has an intricate chatter system in which fireteams offer both contextual commentary during gameplay as well as scripted mission dialog, filling the role [[Cortana]] had in the prior games. This is seen by the developers as a means to tie storytelling more closely with the gameplay.<ref>[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/06/10/evolved-combat-how-halo-5-guardians-is-breaking-tradition.aspx '''Game Informer''': ''Evolved Combat: How Halo 5: Guardians Is Breaking Tradition'']</ref> If the player lingers in an area the squad members will have dynamic conversations about various topics, such as their past, the location they are in, or the ongoing events.<ref name="thebest">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPVdzBcCsw8 '''YouTube''': ''Halo 5: Guardians - The Best is Yet to Come (Interview) - E3 2015'']</ref> Some contextual lines of dialog are different depending on which characters are controlled by players at a given time.<ref name="h5g yourteam"/> 343 Industries has stated that Blue Team has more lines of dialog in the game than they do in all prior ''Halo'' media.<ref name="gi blue"/> As a notable change from ''Halo 4'', the Covenant enemies of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Jul 'Mdama's faction]] now speak [[English]] as they did in the original ''Halo'' trilogy.
