Bungie is to Halo like the sun is to earth, It needs it.

(GT got hacked, original GT was Alfredo Garcia6.)

Halo 1 starts of with the piller of autumn, a ship that was docked at Reach, The covenent attacked reach and The piller of autumn (onboard was Mastercheif and cortana plus captian of ship Jacob keyes) jumped through slipsace on a random vector awawy from earth, and randomly found a Halo ring, Cheif uses a lifepod to escape the damaged Autumn and crashes on halo, he reunites with other marines who landed and start to look for Captain Jacob Keyes who was captured by the covenent, they find him and rescue him also learning hat halo is a massive weapon but dont know how it works, they do know that the covenent are looking for it. So the Cheif is sent to an island to look for a a "cartagraphor" which is a room that shows a map of halo which can show them where the contral room is. While he looks for the control room, Captain keyes and SGT jhonson look for a "weapons chache" that the covenent hid form the humans- The marines needed more ammunition if they wanted to live on halo so they searched for this weapons chache only to find a flood containtment room that contained- the flood, they are attcked and almost all marines are killed, SGT jhonson (being a spartan I) survives infection and some how escapes the flood, Keyes is captured by the flood. When teh chief gets to halos contral room, cortana learns of the danger keyes is in and sends the chief to the swamp where keyes went without warning him about the flood. The chief arrives at the swamp and Finds some covenent units but only Grunts and Jackels, no elites can be found- only dead ones, he encounters numoures dead bodies of both humans and covenent, he later finds a rooma and goes inside, he finds a dead human body and a video recording of what happend- its shows SGT jhonson and his squad land in the jungle- they meet up with the captian- find the containment room by accident and all hell breakes loose as marines are killed and infected, the chief- after watching the video clip- escapes from the flood after being attacked numourouse times, he meets up with a large sqaud of marines and decide to look for an LZ for a pelican to pick them up, on the way to the LZ they are ambushed several times and MANY marines die, then the chief meets 343 guilty spark and spark tells him that activating halo can kill the flood- so he teleports him to a library where an index can be found- the index is like a key- you need it to activate halo, only humans can get the index- ony human can activate halo which is why spark cant activate the halo humself- the chief finally finds the index after fighting alot of flood and is teleported to the control room. He inserts the index only to be stopped by cortana who tells him that Halo is a weapons that kills all sentient life- humans and covenent, the only way to stop the flood is to kill its food- thats what halo is designed to do, the chief turns against Spark and spark sends sentinals to attack him. the chief- to delay spark from somehow activating halo other then using the index- destroyes 3 pulse genarators to damage halo's firing mechanism to buy sometime. he is then teleported by cortana with a teleportation device Spark uses to get inside a covenent ship infected by the flood- there he looks for captain keyes who is being cpative by the flood- when he gets to keyes- its to late and is already dead and infected by the flood- the chief punches the infected keyes and grabs a nueral implant thing item that lets him have complete acces to the piller of autmn, his plan is to make the autumns fusion reactors go critical which causes a massive explosion enough to destroy halo, he grabs a banshee from the convenent ship and rides to the autumns crash site, there he meets covenent, flood, and sentinals in a crazy 3 way battle, he makes his way to the bridge where he has complete acces to the ships commands and starts the detonation procces- only to be stopped by 343 guilty spark who hacks into the system and stops the countdown. the chief is forced to detonate the reactors himself by shooting rockets at the engine- not as easy as it sounds as he is in a 4 way battle between himself, the flood, sentinals, and covenent. he finally makes the reacotrs go critcal and the ship is due to blow up in 6 minutes, he grabs a warthog and does an awsome race against time in the ship istelf, he drives through a series of walkways designed for vehicle transportation in the ship, he finaly gets to a destanation where a pelican is supposed to pick him up, but unfourtanatly the pelican is shot down by banshees, when all seems lost, cortana tells him there one last "longsowrd fighter" in the ships inventory, he races there to get to the ship and finally makes it, he excapes halo and watches as halo is torn to peices by the massive explosion, cortana says no one survived form all the humans who where accounted for in the autumn (even thoguh 3 confirmed soldiers and multiple squads of marines where evacuated beofer the ship blew up(this includes SGT jhonson and SGT stacker(and Guilty spark))) The game ends with Masterchief taking off his helmet but the camera angle prevents a view of his face.

-Sic transit gloria mundi

It's only ten bucks at Best Buy, I would strongly suggest you purchase it.

Granted, multiplayer is limited to splitscreen and system link, but it is just as good (I would argue better) than Halo 2 or Halo 3 multiplayer.

The graphics are dated (but were amazing for its time,) but gameplay is what it's really about. And Halo: CE's campaign is arguably the best of all the Halo games.
Halo: CE had a beautiful simplicity to it. It may seem primitive since it doesn't have as many weapons, or equipment. But this is what makes it good. Halo: CE is simply Jaime Griesemer's "30 seconds of fun" without the embellishments that were added to it in the succeeding Halo games.
What I find interesting about all the the Halo games is the fact that they all had very linear campaigns, and Halo: CE was no exception. But what is amazing is that the only game that didn't feel like it had a linear campaign was Halo: CE. Perhaps this was because the levels were typically larger, or perhaps the "30 seconds of fun" was done so well in Halo: CE that the player just didn't notice it.

Bottom line, Halo: CE is a first person shooter made in late 2001. It has the graphics and multiplayer capabilities of a game of that period. But what sets it apart from first person shooters before and since is the fact that it is the first person shooter perfected. It is a simplistic, yet extremely fun game, that made the Xbox what it is today.

You sick bastard.



DON'T READ! SPOILERS! SPOILERS!


Anywho, you are missing out on my favorite game of all time, and easily the best of the Halo franchise.

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

I like it better than Halo 2, and that's saying a lot. You should really play it some time, it's an amazing game.

It's amazing. You are missing out on a lot.

What am I missing out on?

You're sneaking through simple forrunner hallways, approaching behind a patrolling elite. You see his head start to turn towards the side, and as his face starts to show over his shoulder, he spins and
"WORT WORT WORT!!!"

You're missing the most epic single-player experience I've ever come across.

Oh, and great MP. Like everything else in the game, it's very different from Halo's 2 and 3, so it should feel quite fresh if you give it a shot. Halo 1 also has great maps; they're mostly up there quality-wise with Halo 2, but have a lot more stylistic variety between them.

Clearly because the desktop uses a 3 prong plug and a laptop uses a 2 prong plug, the microwave will fill your car with tostitos better

Go out and buy it. The game defines what console FPS should still be all about.

My Halo adventure started at Halo 2. What am I missing out on?
The game that sold two much shi77ier games, and an ongoing franchise, to millions on it's quality and promise alone.

Nice action, XL. You walked into a meeting of vegetarians and asked "Why should I not eat meat ?" My hat...tipped.

You're missing out on a lot of fun.
