The Top video gamer Christmas gifts for 2012...
The human race is fighting for survival
A
long time ago, an alien race called the Forerunners repelled an alien called the Flood which had taken over most sentient life, in the the Milky Way Galaxy. The Forerunners developed a weapon to put a halt to the Flood. Using the Ark, they built a huge array of Halos, that would destroy all sentient life in the galaxy thereby starving the parasites. Buying as much time as possible, the Forerunners eventually were forced to activate the rings before they took off and escaped.
Now fast forward tens of thousands of years into the future to a scenario in which humanity is in its 26th century and run by the United Nations Space Command when in 2525 a colony is attacked and a holy war breaks out with aliens called the Covenants.
In the year 2552 the war bleeds over to Earth between humans, the Covenant and a Flood-infected army. The Covenant is overpowered and flees through a slipspace portal. The Chief and Arbiter activate the ring, and the Flood is purged from the planet. They escape the self-destruction on the United Nations Space Command frigate Forward Unto Dawn. But, the huge blast causes the slipspace portal to collapse, and only half of Forward Unto Dawn makes it back to Earth. The good news is that The Chief and Arbiter are on the half that made it through...
The storyline is continued in Halo 4, four years after the destruction of the Ark, arriving on the planet of Requiem, where a human colonizing ship has crashed and a group of Covenant are after a hibernating Forerunner.
