If you’re new to the Halo universe, or if you haven’t delved into the game’s background, here’s a quick review of who’s who, what’s what, and why it’s important. Mission Briefing The year is 2552. The governing body of an overpopulated Earth has sent faster-than-light ships deep into unknown space in order to find habitable planets for its growing population. As the human race pushes ever outward, they come into contact with intelligent alien life forms bearing highly advanced technology. When a collective army of alien species wipes out Earth’s outermost colony, the human race realizes a war has begun. Known as the Covenant due to their militant religious intolerance of human beings, the aliens don’t just want to drive the colonizers out—they want to destroy all humans and the planet where they come from. Outnumbered and outgunned, the human race suffers a series of devastating losses, as the Covenant moves ever closer to Earth. Finish the story hereSource: http://xbox.com
