In 2001, a war erupted in the virtual world between a band of human soldiers, led by the cybernetically enhanced super-soldier Master Chief, and an alliance of alien races known as the Covenant. For six years hence, millions of battles between the two sides have been fought in 3D, starting with Halo: Combat Evolved and continuing with the sequel game releases. During this time, mini skirmishes have surfaced in many forms, including a number of planned game titles (including Halo: Chronicles and Halo Wars), novels, graphic novels, toys and games, alternate reality games, machinima, music, and a much-debated feature film.
