The Halo is a sci-fi first-person shooter game developed by Bungie and published by Microsoft Game Studios. The story takes place in the "Halo Universe". This "universe" was created by Bungie for the series.

The first game, Halo: Combat Evolved, was released on the Xbox on November 15, 2001. The origin of the series' lore was the science fiction novel Halo: Reach by Eric Nylender. The Occupation was a huge hit at the time, when Bungie Studios created a new chapter for the novel, which opened up the story of the Halo world...

The Halo series has a high reputation in the gaming industry. The series presents the background story of the "Halo universe" through novels, movies, etc. (including the formation of the UNSC, the growth of Master Chief, the fall of Forerunner, Laski's military school years, etc.) and details that are not mentioned in the game.

The series chronicles the war between human beings and the Covenant, an alliance from the Orion constellation that combines religion with alien races, in the future. The leader of the Covenant, the Prophet of Truth, believed that humans would stop their great mission, the pilgrimage, so they killed humans for violating the law. Despite their stubborn resistance, they could not defeat the opponent's high technology. After the last and largest fortress of the United Nations Space Command (UNSC), Reach, was destroyed by the Covenant, the survivors who escaped found the remains of the Forerunners, the holy place of the Covenant, the "Halo"──The battle begins here.

The Halo is 10,000 kilometers in diameter and 30 kilometers thick. Its environment and climate are similar to those of Earth. Created by the Forerunners, it is also a weapon with enormous lethality. After activation, it will destroy all organic life forms within a diameter of 25,000 light years. The Halo contains the Forerunner's laboratory for keeping and researching The Flood.

The main characters of Halo are Spartan II Soldier S-117 John, also known as Master Chief, a genetically enhanced human being, and intelligent AI Cortana. Cortana uses a chip as a carrier, which can be placed on Master Chief's helmet, and can talk to the Master Chief at any time.
