5 most iconic moments in Halo, from Combat Evolved to Infinite

Halo as a series has changed so much over the years that most people might have a hard time keeping track of what is going on. The series debuted in 2000, with the first game being subtitled Combat Evolved. It tells the story of Master Chief, in most games at least.

In the years to come, Halo grew in popularity until Bungie, the original developer, said farewell to the series as the reins to the franchise was given to 343 Industries. Then followed Halo 4 and 5, two of the lesser successful games in the franchise.

However, 343 Industries made a comeback with Halo: Infinite last year, with its campaign probably one of the most well written in the game's history and with the multiplayer meeting player expectations quite handily.

So, here is a list featuring some of the best moments in the franchise, from Combat Evolved to Infinite.

During the campaign of Halo: Combat Evolved, Master Chief is stuck on a large circular orbital ring-world known as a Halo, battling the Covenant empire. There, he meets an AI known as 343 Guilty Spark, the monitor of the installation.

This monitor, throughout the ensuing levels, guides Chief on ways to stop ‘the flood,' a species of parasites bent on consuming all life forms in the galaxy, which had accidentally been released during the battle. The Chief cooperates with Guilty Spark, as he had lost his personal AI, Cortana in a previous mission.

Guilty Spark finally leads Chief to the command console for the Halo installation and asks him to activate it (only humans may activate such technology). As Chief approaches the console, Cortana appears on the desk, telling Chief that doing so will ‘fire’ the ring, obliterating all life in the galaxy to starve
