the universe ,Earth has been destroyed along with man kind. Nature is trying to come back .man kind is crawling out of its hole.fighting back.look around its obvious it once was a grand place, the eye candy is awesome just look , thanks Bungie you did a fabulous job and the game play is w\awesome. sorry about the spelling. I loved Halo this game reminds me of Halo, Mass Effect and Starwars all mixed brilliantly together. I am retired and 67 yrs. old this keeps me on my toes, plus I can play with my son, and grandsons all on the same level. love it
