The crew abandons the Autumn, crash-landing on the ringworld below.Īfter making less-than-graceful contact with the ground, Master Chief and Cortana work to find and rescue the other survivors, only to discover that Keyes has been captured by the Covenant. The Covenant attacks and damages the ship, forcing the Autumn’s captain, Jacob Keyes, to give the ship’s artificial intelligence system, Cortana, to Master Chief in a last ditch effort to keep the Covenant from finding Earth. When the Pillar of Autumn exits slip-space, it comes upon a large ringworld structure-and also, the Covenant, who followed them as they made their escape. The Pillar of Autumn jumps to slip-space, which is when the actual plot of the game starts kicking in. The Pillar of Autumn, a fancy sci-fi starship, escapes the destruction with everyone’s favorite guy-in-a-suit, Spartan Master Chief Petty Officer John-117, on board. Though the Spartans fight well against the enemy Covenant, there are too few of them to make any kind of a difference, and the Covenant destroys Reach. They’re secretly working creating an augmented army of super-soldiers, which they call “Spartans.” Of course, they’ve got their reasons for wanting a mega-powerful military force-a technologically advanced alien race, known as the Covenant, have declared a religious war against the entirety of the human race, since (according to them) humans are basically an affront to their gods. The UNSC are, of course, up to some sci-fi shenanigans of their own. The planet Reach operates as the main hub for all things “advancing the species”-it’s the main stomping ground for all the big science and military personnel, including the United Nations Space Command (UNSC). The first game in the Halo series sets the stage for all the 26th-century sci-fi shenanigans by introducing slip-space, aka faster-than-light travel, which allows humans to colonize alien planets. No need to go back and play every game in preparation for Infinite, because this is the story so far: HALO: COMBAT EVOLVED (2001) New to Halo’s single-player adventure? We’ve got you covered. With Halo Infinite’s release just around the corner, Spartan fans everywhere may be wondering: wait, there’s a campaign mode? And, while-yes- multiplayer is Halo’s bread and butter, and-double yes-it continues the tradition of being incredibly fun in the newest game, players should also take a minute to check in on good ol’ Master Chief.
