Halo is one of those games that just feels like it was meant to test your faith in other games. I know it tested mine in Metroid. The only thing I can say is, wow. This was one of those games that just felt right. It can be said that it doesn't warrant repeated play, but that's only because the thrill of playing it for the first time is like some sort of wonderful drug.
The story thus far: The year is 2552, and genetic engineering is now completely in the grasp of man. One project of this science is to build an army of super men called the Spartans. This project is important because of a resistance that threatens the existence of man. The planet has become over-populated, this has forced some to colonize space. A colony that was on the very boundary of the known universe had lost contact with Earth. An armada of soldiers was sent to find the force that had possibly destroyed the colony, 32 gleaming space battle ships. Only one ship returned with reports of a giant reptilian alien force, called the Covenant, that was deeply religious. They believed humans to be the demon scum of the universe. But more on them later. This is why the SPARTAN II project is imperative to man's survival. Unfortunately, there was a failure with the SPARTAN armor. It caused the slightest spasm to jerk the SPARTAN about spasmodically. It killed all except for a genetically flawed SPARTAN, SPARTAN 117, Master Chief. His body was so dense that he weighed 1,000 lbs. at 7' high, and no fat percentage. This is the character you play as.
The game is named after a weapon the covenants ancestors built to destroy the Flood, an insect species that will feed off of anything living. Halo was built with a computer that was designed to work out a way of destroying them. It settled on the answer that if they cut off it's food supply that they would die out. It poised itself to wipe the galaxy clean of all life. The covenant shut it down and kept it a secret. It was rediscovered by the humans who thought it could be reprogrammed to just wipe out the Covenant. They were incorrect however, and didn't know it. As the player it's your job to stop them.
