When I first played Halo I didn't expect that much from it.Other then a average first person shooter.yet when I played it I got more and more into it.The action just keeps you moving and makes you always ask yourself"whats going to happen next?"

The story line is extremely enjoyable also.You fight in a war between the humans and the evil alien group called the covenant.the covenant are a highly intelligent army which use plasma in all of their weapons and technology.the humans soon realized they were losing this war and create a new army called Spartan2.These soldiers use a very powerful(since they are taken away from their family's at the age of seven and forced into the military.the soldier use a suit called the MJOLNIR.After a certain time the soldiers died out except for one.The last one was called the master chief.You play the role of the master chief,the last hope for humanity.

The covenant army is made up of different species.They go from the grunts.Who are known to being very weak but are known as the engineers of the army.Then come the jackals who are no more powerful but use special plasma shields.Then come the elites who are the real combat worthy warriors of the worthy.Then the hunters who are incredibly powerful and use metal shields and their very large body's to crush their enemy's.

The Weapons of the humans are of good variety.They have the average sniper rifle,assault rifle,rocket launcher and pistol.

The covenant vehicles are what make them so powerful.their drop ships are nearly indestructible and can deploy at least ten to fifteen soldiers.They also use their fast paced land vehicle called the ghost which can only hold one soldier and can fire plasma beams.the last vehicle is the banshee which can only hold one soldier but is able to fly and launch plasma missiles.

The human vehicle are pretty average.They have the warthog which can hold three soldiers and is used to transport troops over far distances.
