The next best thing since golden eye
This game is addictive making you want to play every level through every difficulty level. Great Multiplayer.
This story makes you crave more and more of the game leading you to buy Halo 2 then Halo 3.
The premis of the game is that you (MC) have escaped Earth on the Pillar of Autum making the attacking alien race (the Covienent) follow you. When you come out of "hyperspace" you find a ring, (later to be found a holy object to the covienent). You land on it fighing the covenient and regrouping your scattered troops. Encounter the flood. and later destroy the ring by blowing up the pillar of autum while escaping on a ship being the sole survivor of the human army that was on the ring, with cortana on your way back to Earth.
