Halo 3's 2007 launch grossed $170 million in 24 hours, breaking all entertainment media records at the time. Since the original Halo: Combat Evolved launched alongside the Xbox in 2001, Bungie and 343 Industries have built one of gaming's most beloved sci-fi universes â selling over 81 million copies and defining what it means to be a console shooter.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll explore Master Chief's origins as a SPARTAN-II super-soldier, the religious zealotry of the Covenant alliance, the Forerunner-built Halo rings, signature weapons and vehicles like the Warthog, the legendary Bungie era and 343 Industries' continuation, the Paramount+ TV series, and the Martin O'Donnell soundtrack that became gaming's most recognizable theme.
Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 is a SPARTAN-II super-soldier and the protagonist of the Halo series. Voiced by Steve Downes, he was conscripted into the SPARTAN program as a child and serves humanity in its war against the Covenant.
The Halos are massive ring-shaped megastructures built by the ancient Forerunners. They were designed as a last-resort weapon to wipe out all sentient life in the galaxy and starve the parasitic Flood of hosts.
Released as an Xbox launch title on November 15, 2001, Halo: Combat Evolved proved that first-person shooters could thrive on consoles. It sold over 6.5 million copies, made the Xbox commercially viable, and established design conventions still used today.
