spartans super-soldier has become our
only hope against an alien alliance hell
bent on our destruction
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be taking a look back at the Halo
franchise I need a weapon right this way
this iconic first-person series made its
debut back in 2001 for the original Xbox
console released as halo combat Evolved
it was an all-new intellectual property
originally designed for Mac computers by
Bungie and corporate however Microsoft
intervened by buying the small company
outright securing both its exclusivity
and providing their console with a
flagship title launching the then new
Xbox against the likes of Sony and
Nintendo halo quickly garnered a large
and dedicated fan following the game was
not only exclusive but it redefined the
genres gameplay mechanics provided
unparalleled graphics and introduced
home console owners to online
multiplayer when all was said and done
the Halo series became the benchmark for
modern game design with its introduction
of elements such as the rebounding
health bar use of vehicles within its
campaign mode as well as cinematic
cutscenes and soundtrack in short it
became one of the first blockbuster
games
beyond these elements the Halo franchise
has become well-known for its epic
narrative which has since been expanded
upon in novels and spin-off games the
story of halo is centered on an alliance
of hostile alien races that have come
together to form a covenant against
humanity as a religious Society these
aliens worship an ancient and extinct
alien race called the forerunners an
advanced civilization that built seven
large ring-shaped mega structures in
deep space referred to as halos once
overrun by a frightening parasitic
adversary called the flood the
forerunners built these rings as a last
resort weapon that would destroy much of
the Milky Way galaxy despite the success
of the Halo weapons thousands of years
earlier the flood were accidentally
released by the Covenant in the 26th
century during their war with humanity
at the time the best weapon humanity had
in their possession were their Spartan
super soldiers however all but one were
already destroyed in the covenants
initial attack on the human colony on
the planet reach the events of which are
showcased in 2010’s prequel installment
aptly named Halo Reach following this
the last surviving Spartan Master Chief
John one one seven and his AI companion
Cortana took the charge to defend Earth
by stopping the Covenant from activating
the halos and destroying the galaxy in
the process heyno

getting started in following this inhale
or 2 & 3 a civil war erupted within the
Covenant ranks due to the realization
that the central tenant of the alien
religion was suicide as it called for
the activation of the Halos this thing
is right halo is a weapon your profits
are making a big mistake you’re
everyone’s already destroyed one of the
city rebels deep
with the help of one such alien defector
called the arbiter Master Chief’s soon
detonated a big enough blast from a
single halo to eliminate the threat
once and for all the final result was
that the hero and Cortana were sent
drifting through space in a damaged ship
having placed themselves in cryo sleep
wake me when you need me that is until
they came in contact with a far-off
world a complex story with several
installments the halo series has
recently come to be inherited by
Microsoft’s 343 industries not only
helming an entirely new trilogy centered
on Master Chief the company has also
taken up the task of creating an HD
remake of bungees original iconic
