The ship is given coordinates by Cortana that takes them to Installation 04 Halo, a massive ring world constructed by an ancient civilization called the Forerunners. Picking up directly after the events of Halo Reach, Halo: Combat Evolved begins with the elite Spartan soldier John-117 (or better known as Master Chief) awakening from cryo-sleep on the Pillar of Autumn. Noble Six is immortalized as a hero in the decades to come. However, Noble Six chooses to stay behind on Reach and battle waves of the Covenant, who quickly overwhelm him and he dies. Noble Team suffers several blows including sacrifices and deaths, but Noble Six is able to deliver Cortana safely to Captain Keyes on the Pillar of Autumn. Players assume the role of Noble Six, a member of the elite squad.Īfter several dangerous encounters with the Covenant, the team is given their most important task yet: reclaim the AI Cortana from a heavily guarded base and transport her safely to the massive UNSC ship known as the Pillar of Autumn.
Reach was also the training base for all Spartan soldiers, including Noble Team. Noble Team, comprised of genetically enhanced soldiers called Spartans, are deployed to the hostile planet called Reach which has become overrun by the Covenant. In the year 2553, humanity (headed by the UNSC) is at the peak of an intergalactic war with the alien race known as the Covenant. Halo Reach follows the story of Noble Team, an elite group of Spartan soldiers. This will also be a summary of each game’s story, so it won’t dive into extreme detail. Since the Halo franchise encompasses multiple mainline games and spin-offs that tie directly into the central storyline, we’ll be exploring all of them by breaking them down by each game in the chronological order that they happened. Here’s the entire story of Halo story before you dive into Halo Infinite.
Story details for the game are being kept intentionally vague as to not spoil any of its surprises, but the road leading up to this moment has been over 20 years in the making. Also, if the Elite crouches and then presses the B button, he will either do a animation where he swings the hammer horizontally, kind of like how Arbiter swings a Fuel Rod Gun and Rocket Launcher, or he'll slam the hammer vertically like a Brute Chieftain does.Halo Infinite is fast approaching its release next week, and fans are gearing up for the long-awaited return of the Master Chief. If the Elite crouches while in midair, he can do two different melee animation. When an Elite jumps and presses the melee button, he can only do one melee animation. When a Spartan jumps and presses the melee button, he can do a different melee animation from the standard one. Or perhaps it has something to do with the Elite's midair melee animation being incomplete. This glitch will work with the 7-wood as well, but not with any other weapons. This is unknown why this occurs, maybe the Elite model doesn't have a animation for meleeing with a Gravity Hammer while crouching up or down, or both animations overlap each other, using the same model parts such as the Elite's legs, so it shuffles in between the crouching and meleeing animations. If you aren't the host, ammo will be lost. It still has the same properties as a normal swing, but instead no ammo will be lost, and a standard melee 'whack' sound will be heard if in contact with another player, but it will instantly kill. This is a sub-glitch, that instead of meleeing, swinging ( RT) the hammer (or 7-wood) may make it 'silent' while crouching up and down, it might take a couple of tries. It is very hard to do this glitch while running or walking, as is crouching repetitively. From the Elite's perspective, the Gravity Hammer shakes around wildly, but from a third-person view, a laggy, shaking Elite is shown. Simply acquire a Gravity Hammer as an Elite, press the Left Thumb Stick and B over and over.
