Halo has been one of the most fun
video games I have ever played. I myself am a Sonic fan, but when it comes to
shooting things in the face, Halo is the way to go! This gaming series takes
place in a futuristic setting which allows the player to wield an arsenal of
powerful weapons in which take on the formidable covenant. The covenant is an
alliance of many different alien species that are lead by three unique
creatures known only as the prophets. The prophets have led their army to
believe that their genocidal campaign is for the greater good of this
incredible journey. Once the covenant came into contact with the human race,
however, they were in for the fight of the century. As many of us know, humans
wage war a lot, it's what we do. It's in our nature. When they picked a fight
with us, they picked a fight with the combined power and intellect of all
nations on the planet. Since it's about 500 years into the future, our
technology has advanced to the point where we've colonized other planets.
Bring it on covenant.

So far, Halo has six
installments and is currently in the process of releasing their seventh, Halo
4. The first six Halos have been made by Bungie, but Bungie has grown tired of
the project and wished to move on to others. I can't blame them, if they don't
want to make any more Halos then they don't have to, but Halo 4 is being made
by a division of Bungie who decided to keep the legacy going. This group is
known as 343. A lot of Halo fans were disappointed to hear that Bungie gave up
on Halo, but saw a glimmer of hope once Halo 4 was announced. Some believe Halo
4 will be a failure, but based on the game play I've seen, it looks amazing. It
may not be made by Bungie, but it may still be a great game.
Overview
The story of Halo follows Master Chief, the man in green armor who is pretty
much humanity's savior. In order for the humans to survive the covenant
onslaught, the intelligent Dr. Halsey developed the Spartan project. With the
help of the UNSC, the United Nations Space Command, she was able to develop the
super soldiers known as Spartans. The entire army of Spartans was wiped out
except for Master Chief. The Spartan army gave their lives to protect Reach,
but failed. Being the only, and possibly, the best Spartan left in existence,
Master Chief is the best hope for humanity's survival. As a Spartan you're able
to take on covenant infantry on their level. Your strength and health is above
that of your fellow marines. You will be depended on to do what others would
not, which makes it much more fun if you ask me. You're also able to switch
weapons with marines. Your armor's energy shielding will protect you from most
of the enemy fire.
The physics and plot of this storyline follows over through all of the games in the series, making it an excellent buy for science fiction or space fans.
Which begs the question."Will Halo 4 live up to the hype, or become another Halo: Reach?"
Hopefully in the seventh installment, Halo 4, players will still be able to enjoy
the classic experience that was brought about in the first three, bringing new experiences while building upon the old ones. Halo 4 carries a large expectation that we can only hope will be fulfilled with interest...If not, Halo
is still a classic gaming series I would strongly advise for anyone who enjoys playing video
games.
Hello.. I read your blog and what i can say is that The fact that Halo 4 is rumored to feature some very interesting amendments to the characters from the previous series has added to the anticipation of its release.
ReplyDeleteI do agree with you on that. It looks and sounds like a great game, but so did Reach. I'm hoping this game goes above and beyond the expectation, but I've seen the nasty turn sequels can take...
