fully explain the whole Halo story to me, it would be greatly appreciated. I mean the whole thing. I've played and beaten Halo, but I have to admit that I dont think I fully understood the whole plot. I come to these boards and I see threads about Forerunners and all this other stuff that I know nothing about. Frankly I feel left out. Would someone be willing to explain the whole thing to me (books included)? Or at least link me to where I can find out the info I seek... thanks!

I pity the soul that writes out the entire storyline…

My advice to you, Man Slayer, find the knowledge you seek yourself. It's much more rewarding.

hey go look at the website <halo.bungie.org> and look around cause it WILL be there.

Ok. The Forerunners built Halo to keep the flood from doing any more harm to anything and to be able to destroy them if they escaped. The Forerunners eventually die out, and then Halo is found by the Covenant, and eventually inhabited by them. Later the PoA comes near it, gets attacked by the Covenant, crash lands on Halo, then thats where Halo picks up, and eventually the MC wipes out Halo, killing the flood ( supposedly, but not confirmed ) but leaving 343 Guilty Spark to fare for himself, supposedly returning in Halo 2, during the invasion of Earth.


And thats a sloppy short summary.

Yes try http://halo.bungie.org and look for the Halo story on the left. It has a full time line and everything you'll ever need...next to the books. Just keep this in mind though. The Covenant in the Halo storyline are as hard as they are on Legendary. That's why we have been losing for thirty years. We've won about a quarter of the ground battles(without the Spartans, the Spartans win all their ground battles). Problem is we've truelly only won 5 space battles compared to hundreds if not a thousand defeats. Hope that helps.

covies fight humans - autumn is forced to blind jump and ends up at halo - stuff blows up - mc & cortana find out a race called the forerunner created halo - some more stuff blows up and the mc destryos halo preventing the spread of the flood - guilty spark and the mc & cortana survive* the end. i suggest playing the game until you do get it if this didnt clarify it for you :)

So much of this is inaccurate and vague. So don't listen. DarkFire, try and get the facts a bit more straight and give him what has been confirmed, not speculation.

Ok here it goes...some guy make a ring and a couple of days later this thing called the flood infects the guys who made it (like ebola virus), and the forunners are all like "wtf" so they ditch the ring leaving it to the people who got sick. then the prophets came along and there like "hey, lets use this crap as a weapon" and some guy in the back is all like "yeah lets do it".....(500 BILLION years later) humans are all like exploring stuff and all of a sudden they are attacked by some alien dudes and the humans are all like "wtf", so the humans have no choice but to land on this ring ( little do they know its all flooded up and stuff) so there all like "this place is cool" and five seconds later they find the flood and then there like "oh crap we gotsta get outta here!" so they try to leave but they cant so MC has to blow that up to save everyone and stuff. so he blows the rings kills the aliens and goes back to earth. But on the way there he is followed by an alien cruiser. and the cruiser is all like "hey guys, i found earth" and the alien base is like "sweet" so they start fighting and so on, and so on....
and just to let you know i made all that up (most of it) im just trying to say GO BUY THE BOOKS!
