Citas:

[first lines]
Captain Keyes: Cortana, all I need to know is did we lose them?
Cortana: I think we both know the answer to that.
Captain Keyes: We made a blind jump. How did they...
Cortana: - Get here first? The Covenant ships have always been faster. As for tracking us all the way from Reach, at lightspeed my maneuvering options were limited.
Captain Keyes: We were running dark, yes?
Cortana: Until we decelerated, no one could have missed the hole we tore in subspace. They were waiting for us on the far side of the planet.
Captain Keyes: So, where do we stand?
Cortana: Our fighters are mopping up the last of their recon picket, nothing serious. But I've located approach signatures for multiple CCS battlegroups, make it three capital ships per group.
Captain Keyes: Well, that's it then. Bring the ship back up to Combat Alert Alpha. I want everyone at their stations.

Oh yes, oh yes, finally a game worthy of complete national addiction. If you have not played this game, and you have any respect for the industry itself, GET THIS GAME! You will enjoy it.

The basic idea is that Halo, this ringworld planet, is essentially human's last hope for survival. They have been battling with an alien Race known as the Covenant for who knows how long, and the war has been see-sawing back and forth. You are the Master Chief, a highly trained supersoldier sent to retrieve a captain from a ship that crashed on Halo.

You'll shoot your way through all kinds of aliens, and there are also humans there to help you out from time to time. A special breed of monster shows up in the last half, which takes the game up to a new level of tension and activity.

Personally, the music characterizes the game perfectly. It's very choral, very humbling. I get tingles listening to that music in conjunction to the TV spot for the game. The graphics are by far the best following such action smashes as AVP2.

Get this game, play it and have fun.
