Introduction of "Halo Game"

Halo is the best-selling military science fiction with concept of first-person shooter video game franchise that was popular among the gamers. This game was developed by Bungie, Inc. is an American video game developer located in Bellevue, Washington. U.S. this company was establish in May 1991 the founder was Alex Seropian  a University of Chicago undergraduate student and then he brought in programmer Jason Jones. In 2000 Microsoft acquired Bungie, the project that was working on was repurposed a launch tittle for Microsoft’s Xbox console, called Halo Combat Evolved.

The game in the series have been praised as being the best first-person shooters on a video game console among all games and are considered the Xbox ‘s killer app. This has led to call “halo killer” to describe console games that aspire or are considered to be better than Halo.

These first-person shooters take place in the distance past; a powerful race called the Forerunners fought an alien parasite known as the Flood. The Flood, which spread through infestation of sentient life, overran much of the Milky Way Galaxy. One of the races affected was humanity, who came into conflict with the Forerunners. Exhausted by their war and after having explored all other options, the Forerunners conceived a weapon of last resort to combat the Flood. Using an installation known as Ark, they built large ring-shaped mega structures known as Halos. The Halo Array, when activated, would destroy all sentient life in galaxy-depriving the Flood of their food, which samples of the lost life forms would be reseeded. Delaying as long as they could, the Forerunners activated the ring and disappeared.

Tens of thousands of year later, in the 26^th century, humanity-under the auspices of the United Nations Space Command or UNSC-colonize many worlds thanks to the ”inner colonies and the remote “Outer Colonies”, leading to civil war. The UNSC creates an elite group of enhanced super soldiers, known as Spartans, to suppress the rebellion covertly. In the year 2525, human worlds come under attack by a theocratic alliance of alien races known as the Covenant leadership declares humanity heretics and an affront to their gods-the Forerunners-and begins a holy war of genocide. The Covenant’s superior technology and numbers prove decisive advantages, though effective, the Spartan are too few in number to turn the tide of battle in humanity favor.

This is some of the synopsis, setting and plot about Halo, eventually what became Halo was originally code-named Monkey Nuts and Blam! And took place on a hollowed-out world called Solipsism (McLaughlin, september 20, 2007). The planet suddenly became a ring world, and an artist suggested the name “Halo”, which became the game’s tittle (Toyama, may 2001)
