My friend once asked me about the Halo storyline. I couldn't finish it naturally so here it is. (its not the whole thing. Just the rough timeline and major events. And its not copy and paste from some halo website so it may have some problems) Enjoy:D
100,000 years before the 21st Century, a race of beings called the Forerunners rule the galaxy. Their technology unmatched and unrivalled by any other races at that time. However, even the most powerful race cannot survive indefinitely. In their far-sighted conquest of the universe, the Forerunners discovered the Flood on a distant planet on the edge of the galaxy. The Forerunners made the mistake of treating the Flood as a disease instead of a threat. Instead of declaring war on the Flood, they quarantined it. The attempt to quarantine it was a failure and the Flood, as an intelligent virus, infected thousands of Forerunner worlds. The Forerunners affected were transformed into hideous and mutated ''flood bodies''.
The Forerunners, as a last resort, created the Halo Array: seven Halos. Halos are rings that are 10,000 km in diameter and when activated, kills of all sentient, intelligent life in a 25,000 light-year radius. Before activating, the Forerunners created humanity from the Forerunner gene pool. They put humans inside this special ship called the Ark. The Ark will protect from the inhabitants inside it , from the Halo rings.
Finally, the Forerunners sacrificed themselves by firing the Halo rings.In a single day, a galaxy spanning race died out. Without the Forerunners, which they consider food, the Flood starved itself out and nearly went extinct. Now the only Flood left is contained on the Halo rings....
21st century
Humanity's travel into the stars was made possible by a special spacecraft engine called a "slipspace" engine. If i'm not wrong, this engine warps spacetime and allows the ship to travel faster than light.
Year 2100- Year 2400 saw humans expand across 500 planets all over the Milky Way galaxy. However, the divided humanity causes many wars to erupt, including the rainforest wars in South America to full space wars like the Jovian Campaign between Earth and the Jupiter moons. The UNSC ( United Nations Space Command) is created to stop humanity being so fractured and divided and quickly becomes a supergovernment of humanity.
The Covenant, a faction of multiple alien races, first contacted humanity around the Year 2525. The leader of the Covenant, also known as the Prophets realised that the human race was the direct descendant of the mysterious, long-extinct alien race called the Forerunners.
The Covenant are following this religion called the Great Journey, in which they believe that Forerunners are ''Gods". They believe that at the end of the Great Journey, they will ascend to the heavens and be with the Forerunners. The key to unlock the gateway to the heavens is through the enigmatic Halo rings. They believe that the rings, once activated, will cleanse their beings and transcend to be with the Forerunners.
The Covenant Armada StarFleet was winning even at the start of the Human-Covenant War. Covenants use have superior technology in terms of warfare and vastly outnumber the human race. The Covenant are composed of 7 different sentient races. The religious leaders are the Prophets while the main guardians of the Prophets are a race called Elites ( a.k.a Sangheli in the Covenant language)
World by world, humanity failed and fell. Billions of human lives on over 400 planets were lost. The Covenant easily destroyed the human space defences with their superior starships and then annihilated the ground cities by space-to-ground plasma bombardment. The result is entire cities destroyed without a single Covenant life lost.
As a last resort, the humans created the SPARTAN project to create supersoldiers enhanced with greater strength, endurance and reflexes. They were armed with only the best weopons and trained for half a lifetime. Many did not survive the extreme training. Ok, lets skip this part.
Events of Halo1. I won't spoil the game by telling you the story but I'll start with the events just before Halo 1.
After Reach( the most militarised planet in the UNSC) fell prey to the ruthless Covenant, a human ship with Captain Keyes and Spartan 117 ( which you will play as of course) followed a Covenant cruiser along an unknown slipspace trajectory, landing the human spacecraft in orbit around a gas giant planet called Threshold. To the human's' surprise, an incredible ring 10,000 km in diameter was found orbiting the gas giant. This is where the game starts.

Dawn of a new era.
Hello peeps! i better blog more frequently,my bloggie getting rather boring i guess...
Today i started playing comp at 8.30. I played WoW again but as expected, it crashed without any prior warning. Its not that my compy is old or somethin, its 2 GB ram and has Nvidia 8500 graphics card already...says it can't read the WoW map or somethin...
Ok i'll cut the technical bullshit.
Went to ZerHien house to play Halo 2. WHOPPEEEE!
Came back and played Halo with Jun Yu and some other fellows...
Boring day isn't it? If u guys watch my blogs closely, u realise that i only blog when i'm really BORED...
life is great this year. Seriously:D Got some wierd ppl, but most people are seriously great:D
1-respect 2009 pwns!!!
AHC pwns!!!
( everyone who thinks 1-respect sucks are mangy dogs who eat pelican droppings and drink Nigerian sewage water daily)
( everyone who thinks AHC sucks should lick up the interior of the toilet bowl for a living.)
World of Warcraft pwns!!!!
Of course, everyone has gaming preferences. I'm not saying your favourite computer game is inferior to WoW. So don't take it too hard:D

I miss 1-F already:)
Since i'm dropping( that sucks dammit...), i'm probably not seeing the major bulk of 1-F next year....
So sad...I'm afraid that the new class may be full of shits...don't want to mention names. They may not know me personally but i observe them from a distance. And all the dropouts (me included) will be spreaded out across six class...which thins the already minute chance that we would be in the same class. Afraid that the new class will have Pai Kia. One or two is alright, but more then that and the whole class will be splitted and unfriendly and totally unjumper-like...I try to be a social dude, and i will hate a class that is broken up, with shitty pai kia at the top of the hierarchy, thinking that they are the coolest in the class, when the masses below hates their ...err..shitfaces..haha...
Now..the credits...Feel like crying now...boo....boo..boo...
Panda = the first guy I talked to in class, which blossomed into great friendship...i seriously dont want to lose him, but the chances of us meeting in the same class is minimal...sad seh...
Jun Yu= emo and sad...but inside him, i see a really nice guy who will never voluntarily Kao bei anybody, even ppl he doesnt really like...wish he'll be happier in the next class...LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE. LIKE ME.
Bunny= lovable and cute( i know you dont mind me calling u cute, so i call you cute.)and a very social guy...something like me except not as gross as me:P
Jolene= good, helpful buddy:P hehe...although we different class next year but we still good sms buddies right? right? right? yup...true friends never leave u...
