Storyline
Set in 2559, decades after the crew of the human warship Spirit of Fire vanished into uncharted space, the ship and its cryo-sleeping crew awaken at the Ark, a colossal Forerunner installation capable of building the galaxy-threatening Halo rings.

Under Captain Cutter's command, the outnumbered and outdated UNSC forces must marshal their soldiers, Spartans, and war machines to wrest control of the Ark from the Banished and stop Atriox before he seizes its terrible power.Read more
