lol, yah its fun, i bought it like last september and i play it at least 4 days a week, still lol. its almost woth getting an xbox for. its basicly about a group of super soldiers that were geneticly enhanced, called the spartan II's. basicly its humans (with help from the spartanII ) agenst the covenant, a group of several species of aliens that believe humaity to be an affront to thier gods. the beggining of the story goes like this
"the year is 2552. planet earth still exists, but overpopulation has forced many of her former residents to colonize other worlds. Faster than light travel is now a reality, and earth's unified government, through the united nationsspace command, has put its full weight behind the colonization effort; millions of humans now live on habitable planets in other solar systems. A keystone of humanity's colonization efforts is the planet Reach, an interstellar naval yard that builds colony ships for civillians and warships for the unsc's armed forces. Conveniently close to earth, reach is also a hub of scientific and military activity. Thirty two years ago, contact with the outer colony was lost. A battlegroup sent to investigate was almost completely destroyed; only one badly damaged ship returned to reach. Its crew told of a seemingly unstoppable alien warship that had effortlessly annihalated their forces. This was humankinds first encounter with a group of aliens they eventually came to know as the covenant, a collective of alien races united in their fanatical religous devotion. Covenant religous elders declared humanity an affront to the gods, and the covenant warrior caste waged a holy war upon humanity with gruesome dilligance. After a seriese of crushing defeats and obliterated colonies, unsc admeral preston cole established the "cole protocol" :no vessel may inadvertenly lead the covenant to earth. When forced to withdraw, ships must avoid earth bound vectors, even if that means jumping without proper navigational calculations. Vessels in danger of capture must self destruct. On reach, a secret military project to create cyborg super soldiers takes on newfound importance. The soldiers of the SPARTAN II project rack up an impressive record agenst the covenant in test deployments, but there are too few of them to turn the tide of the war. Existing spartan II soldiers are recalled to reach for further augmentation. The plan: board a covenant vessel with the improved spartan II soldiers and learn the location of the covenant home world. Two days before the mission begins, covenant forces strike reach an annihilate the colony. The covenant are now on earths doorstep. One ship, the pillar of autumn, escapes with the last spartan II and makes a blind jump into deep space hoping to lead the covenant away from earth."
ps, sorry for my absence, my internet was down.
