Shortly after the UNSC Pillar of Autumn made the blind slipspace jump, the crew discover a large mysterious Ring World in the orbit of a large gas giant. With the Covenant right on there tail, Captain Keyes decides to evacuate the ship, he initiates the order to thaw the Master Chief out of Cryo-stasis. As the last Surviving SPARTAN II, the Master Chief is the only chance the AI construct known as Cortana has to make it off the ship alive. Keyes explains that Cortana must make it off the ship because if the Covenant capture her they can learn everything about Humanity, including Earth.
Keyes decides to go down with the ship while the Master Chief escapes with Cortana. they climb into a life boat with a full crew and attempt to land on the Ring World below them as the Pillar of Autumn is being overrun by the Covenant. Master Chief wakes up, but the crew has died. He makes his way toward some mountains, still unaware of where he is or if anyone else is alive. He Discovers a small Forerunner Relay Outpost, with some marines fighting the covenant inside it.
Master Chief saves these marines, and attempts to save the other Survivors that made it off the Autumn, while being assisted by the Pelican Pilot Echo 419, or "Foehammer".
Foehammer discovers the Captain has been taken hostage and is on board the covenant super carrier known only as The Truth and Reconciliation. the Master Chief manages to infiltrate the ship and free the captain, and also learns the Ring World is called "Halo" and is some sort of super weapon constructed by the Forerunners.
Keyes initiates an attack on a Forerunner Base in order to find the map room that shows where halos control Room is, Master Chief finds a secret passage leading to the Control Room that requires Foehammer to actually fly inside the Ring through underground tunnels, after fighting through seemingly endless tunnels and snowy wastelands, the Master Chief eventually locates the Control Room inside a Lareg Forerunner Pyramid like structure.
Upon installing Cortana to the Control Room, she learns everything about the ring and demands that the Master Chief has the find Keyes and stop him, The Master Chief is not given an explanation to why this matter is so urgent but soon discovers why. inside a Forerunner research center located in the middle of a swamp, the Master Chief finds a dead marine with blood everywhere, he takes the recording device out of the helmet to find out what happened. he watches as Captain Keyes and an entire squad of marines are killed by an unknown parasitic life form.
Chief escapes the facility after being ambushed by an army of mutated Humans and Covenant Elites, and is then rescued by a friendly flying robotic sphere known as 343 Guilty Spark, he is the Monitor of Halo, or Installation 04 to be precise. The Monitor tells Chief that they need to find something known as The Index in the Library in order to stop "The Flood". the Monitor refers to the Chief as "Reclaimer". Chief finds the index and is warped back to the Control Room, Cortana immediately takes the Index from the Chief then warns him that the only way to kill the flood is to kill anything and everything that they could possibly feed on, which is what Halo was designed to do.
The Monitor offers chief an ultimatum, Handover Cortana and Use the Halo Weapon, or die, as he can just find another Reclaimer. Chief escapes and destroys many generators that would delay the Monitor from firing the Ring in case he found a way to activate it without the index. Cortana reveals a plan, they could find the Pillar of Autumn and blow it up, as the explosion should destroy enough of the Ring to destroy it. in order to do this though, they must find the captain and take his implants to initiate the ships self destruct sequence. Cortana attempts to warp the chief to the captains location similar to how the monitor warped hi to the control room, the Chief is then teleported back to the Truth and Reconciliation.
Chief finds Keyes, only he is no longer himself, he has been morphed with many other Flood life forms and is dead. the Chief regrettably smashes the captains skull in to find the implants, then he escapes the ship. Once reaching the Pillar of Autumns crash site, Cortana initiates the self destruct sequence, only to be interrupted by the Monitor, Chief decides the only way to destroy the ship is to do it manually. After blowing up the ships engines, he enters a warthog and drives to Foehammers pick up zone, but Foehammer is shot down by Covenant Banshees.
Chief then drives as fast as he can to the Hangar and boards a Longsword fighter. as the Master Chief flies away, Halo is Obliterated, Cortana insists that its all over, but John 117 knows that they are only getting started...
