The Master Chief crash lands on Earth, Sgt. Avery Johnson and a squad of marines find his body, they learn that he survived the fall through the atmosphere by locking his armor. After unlocking the armor, Chief wakes up and reveals to Johnson that Cortana is still on High Charity just as the Arbiter comes out of camouflage. Chief jumps into action, stealing a nearby marines handgun and aiming it directly in the Arbiters face, he was just about to pull the trigger when Johnson tells Chief that the Elites have joined the Humans, Master Chief lowers the weapon.
Master Chief and Johnson's team split up, Chief learns that the brutes are in charge of the Covenant now and now wear power armor. Chief rescues Johnson from a Chieftain and a Pelican brings the team to the Crows Nest, where they reunite with Commander Miranda Keyes. The Prophet of Truth interrupts a discussion between Lord Hood and Keyes regarding a plan to stop the covenant to warn Humanity that they will use the rings to destroy them.
After fighting an invasion on the base and destroying it, Master Chief makes his way to the fight rescuing troops and destroying Covenant forces along the way, after discovering the Covenant excavation site where the city of New Mombasa used to stand, Chief fights a scarab and destroys an artillery cannon. the excavation site begins to move, it opens up, knocking back all nearby troops, and reveals a portal. Then, a Covenant ship warps into the city and crashes nearby, it is infested with Flood, but these Flood forms are new, they've gone through some kind of mutation. Chief explores the ship and finds a recording of Cortana, but it is broken, 343 Guilty Spark flies over and tells Chief he can fix it, but he has to trust him.
Chief allows Guilty Spark to take the recording, everyone regroups on a ship and discusses what just happened, the Flood has spread so quickly that the only way to stop them was to have the Elites glass nearly half of Africa. Guilty Spark fixes the recording, Cortana tells Chief that there is something important on the other side of he portal. Lord Hood believes that it is a trap and that the Flood corrupted Cortana to say that, he stays behind, but everyone else ventures into the portal.
The Covenant is already through the portal, The Humans and Elites follow them and begin the attack, below them is a giant installation with seven arm like structures extending from it, the surface appears to be Earth like, just as Halos was. Chief heads to the surface, kills a scarab, and learns that the installation they are on is The Ark. They head to the Control center aided by hundreds of Sentinels, they take out some towers powering a shield that covers the control center.
Suddenly, the Covenant Holy City High Charity warps into the atmosphere sending debris infested with flood in all directions nearly taking out one of the Elites ships, then crashes nearby. Johnson has been captured, Chief and Arbiter head to the control room, Keyes crashes her Pelican into the control room and kills a few brutes, only to be killed by Truth, he tries to persuade Johnson into activating the Ark, which will activate every Halo in the process.
Chief and Arbiter are inside the control room, the Flood stop them and under the influence of the grave mind begin talking to them and offer support in killing Truth, once at the main room, Arbiter finds a dying Truth being taken over by the Flood, Arbiter finally seeks revenge for the Elite's exile and kills the Prophet. Johnson pilots the Pelican, Chief and Arbiter are stopped by a massive Flood tentacle and run the other way. They fall down a shaft and discover a Halo being built, Guilty Spark explains to them that it is being built to replace the one Chief destroyed, Guilty Spark gives him the choice to use it, he says yes.
Chief goes to find Cortana at High Charity, he fights through countless flood forms and sees visions of Cortana and Gravemind, Once finding her, she reveals that she still has the Index from the original version of the ring and that it can be used on the new one, Chief destroys High Charity's main reactor and escapes on a Pelican with the help of the Arbiter.
They crash land in a snowy region outside the control room, gravemind is still alive and sends flood to finish them off, Johnson, armed with a Spartan Laser, defends Chief and Arbiter as they make their way to the top of the control room. Once inside, Johnson tries to activate the ring, but Guilty Spark tells him not to because the ring wont be ready to fire until its finished being rebuilt, Johnson reveals that this was their plan all along, Spark immediately goes rampant and kills Johnson, Chief grabs his laser and Destroys Spark once and for all.. Chief then activates Halo and escapes on Johnson's warthog alongside the Arbiter.
They realize that the only way off the ring is to get to the Forward Unto Dawn, Keyes replacement for the In Amber Clad, that is docked nearby. Dodging debris and collapsing pieces of the ring, the duo make their way to the ship, Arbiter gets to the bridge and begins to fly away, but Chief is still in the docking bay dodging falling vehicles and other debris. Cortana mutters one last sentence to the Chief: "Its been an honor serving with you, John". Halo explodes, bringing the Ark with it, the Portal closes and only part of the ship makes it through, Arbiter is found inside on Earth, there is a memorial service for everyone who lost their lives, including Keyes, Johnson, and the Master Chief. Arbiter takes the Elites back to their home world.
Master Chief wakes up in the back half of the Forward Unto Dawn, he makes his way to a Cryo Chamber and tells Cortana to wake him when she needs him. Chief is frozen in his pod, As the ship floats towards a mysterious planet...
