You've played the popular videogame, now take your HALO experience to a whole new level with this interactive strategy game featuring multiple game play modes, a three dimensional modular game board, multiple levels of difficulty, and vivid immersive battle sequences. The year is 2525, and the deep-space human colony of Harvest has just been decimated by a powerful alien menace known as the Covenant. In order to prevent the same grim fate from befalling planet Earth and the rest of its remaining colonies, mankind puts their faith in the enhanced super soldiers created by the Spartan II project. As the Covenant Hierarchs close in, MCPO "John" Spartan-II7 leads a skilled battalion of UNSC Marines into battle alongside a 2nd generation "smart" Artificial Intelligence known as Kusanagi. Perhaps with the skill of an Elite warrior known as Arbiter to guide them to victory, there may be hope for the human race after all.
