PORTHOLE TO THE PLANET< HALO>


ON the other side of the porthole...

Spawning to life as a blue team member wiith four other teammates, I began my conquest in order to kill as many red enemies as I can. This world is shaped in the form of a ring—a halo to be more precise. Sweeping across the expanse of time and over the breadth of a thousand star systems, the tale of Halo is ultimately one of the human condition. It is a story about the frailty of mankind and their fight for survival against an implacable and unstoppable enemy known as the Covenant. And at the center of it all is the legendary Master Chief, the only thing that stands between humanity and extinction. A green and watery planet just like planet earth that the humans live on, but this planet is filled with the most brutal aliens in the universe. Starting out with a battle rifle and a clip that contains thirty-six bullets, we start social slayer team battle rifles on the Pit level. Picking up extra rounds and more ammunition is always a bonus, especially when you go on long winning and killing streaks—the more bullets, the better.

Swords Rocket Launchers and sniper rifles are the most deadly weapons laying around for use in a variety of different maps. Long before humanity shed its own terrestrial bonds, an ancient race known as the Forerunners had already mastered the heavens. Using their advanced technology they took it upon themselves to protect all life in the galaxy. But when a threat emerged from the blackness beyond our stars, the Forerunners were caught off guard.

The Flood, a parasitic species that propagates by infecting sentient beings, had already infested a variety of worlds within the Milky Way. By the time the Forerunners took action, it was too late; the Flood had already surpassed any efforts at containment.

ne hundred thousand years later, humankind finally turned to the stars. But even after developing the technology of Slipspace travel, which allowed them to colonize distant worlds, they failed to learn from their own primitive nature.

Not long after humans built other worlds to dwell on, they began to war with each other. A powerful governing body known as the United Nations Space Command (UNSC) attempted to quell insurrectionist factions, but there seemed to be nothing that could halt the mounting tide of violence.

It was then that an agency known as the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) commissioned the SPARTAN-II project. This extreme measure sanctioned the abduction of young children who would be genetically engineered into the most advanced super soldiers humanity had ever seen. And for a time, this solution worked flawlessly, the Spartans meted out swift judgment against any who resisted the UNSC.

But in 2525 CE, all of that changed.

It was a victory to worth telling…. A legend that proclaimed victory in an unknown territory… a blue team member that carried his team to triumph, he is the hero, not the enemies… for they lost the war.
