About This Game
Humanity faces obliteration when the Covenant—a sprawling union of alien civilizations—strikes Earth's defensive perimeter in the twenty-sixth century. Master Chief intercepts the assault at orbital stations before leading the counteroffensive to a mysterious ringworld, while a disgraced Elite commander, stripped of honor and condemned to the deadly rank of Arbiter, must atone for his failure to destroy the first Halo ring. As these two warriors navigate their divergent paths, they begin to unravel secrets that threaten to fracture the Covenant from within and expose a terrifying biological menace that could devastate every faction fighting for survival.
