Not Your Regular Halo

Last week there was a huge space game release. It's the 6th game of all the series. It's called Halo 4. In this video game the setting takes place in the far future about 500 years from now. Earth has been attacked by aliens known as Covenant. For Earth to defend itself, the people started to create super soldiers known as Spartans. These soldiers were very tall, coordinated, and had super human abilities. Of all the Spartans in the game's story it follows Spartan 117. This Spartan is known as Master Chief.
He is armored up with an advanced combat space suit and also equipped with an A.I. known as Cortana. The suit color is a dark green and during the game you never see him without a helmet. The reason why you never get to see him without his helmet on is because it is fastened on that only a machine can take off. But I think the makers of the game are saving his face for another time because it keeps the main character a secret and always makes you wonder.

Now the story takes place in space. The humans who fight the Covenant live on these gigantic weaponry ships. The reason the ship is "weaponry" is because it is essentially also a gun that can fire a large beam at the enemy. Imagine a revolver but more squarish. Then remove the handle to the gun, make it gray, and add rocket ends to the back end of the gun. That's what the ships look like.n the ending of Halo 3 Master Chief and Cortana are separated with half of a ship during a space jump. Fortunately, the front half of the ship makes it through the worm whole and so Master Chief is left alone frozen in space for the next 3 years until Cortana wakes him.

Playing this game has become a bit of tradition. When the first Halo game came out I played it with a bunch of my friends. Then after the next one came out we continued to play together and so on. Although I have moved from my friends and no longer are in contact with them as much I still had the urge to buy the game and play it. I absolutely love it because it has a space theme to it. After completing missions, Master Chief voyages from planets to ships and back all over again. It constantly changes scenes and it opens your imagination.

To me this game has an extraordinary real-feel to it. It has definitely surpassed the graphics when the game first came out. The details on the gun are better. When you look closely at the gun when the player holds onto it you can see the groves of where the machinery cut it off and the different shine is has when holding it at different angles. One part during the story-line you are in a space craft flying around this huge ship that the enemy is controlling. Well when you get past the maze part you come to an open are on the ship. It's this giant open crater into the ship where it shoots its main gun. As you look up you can see the planet Earth in the future and it looks remarkable. If you have ever seen photographs of Earth from space before you would think that it's the real deal. The lush green forests of South America are still there and the sparkling endless blue water still looks beautiful and it gives you a good hope for the future that Earth will still be there for us.

I would recommend this game to other gamers who love a campaign game. The multiplayer is just like the previous games but its still fun if you have some friends. The main reason I bought the game though is for the campaign. Maybe as soon as I'm finished with that I might sell it.

I'm freezing on out.
