Brief History of The Xbox Halo Video Game

Halo is a military science fiction first-person shooter video game created in 2001.

The series centers on an interstellar war between humanity and a theocratic alliance of aliens known as the Covenant. The Covenant, led by their religious leaders called the Prophets, worship an ancient civilization known as the Forerunners, who perished in combat with the parasitic Flood.

The central focus of the franchise builds off the experiences of Master Chief John-117, one of a group of supersoldiers codenamed Spartans.

The term "Halo" refers to the Halo rings: large, habitable superweapons that were created to destroy the parasitic Flood.

The games in the series have been praised as being among the best first-person shooters on a video game console. There are multiple best-selling novels, graphic novels, and other licensed products.

The collective group of fans of the series is referred to as the "Halo Nation".
