i put up another film
Halo is a science fiction video game series created by Bungie Studios. The series centers on the Master Chief, a cybernetically enhanced human super-soldier equipped with technologically-advanced battle armor, and his artificial intelligence (AI) companion, Cortana, as the humans of a futuristic universe battle the Covenant, a theocratic alliance of alien races. In this science fiction setting, the term "Halo" refers to the Halo megastructure, a large orbital construction, similar to those first popularized by the 1970 novel Ringworld by Larry Niven, though smaller in scale.[1][2]
The video games, particularly Halo: Combat Evolved, have been praised as being among the best and most influential first-person shooters on a game console, with Halo being the Microsoft Xbox's "killer app". This has led to the term "Halo killer" being used to describe console games that aspire to be better than Halo.[3] Halo's sequel, Halo 2, broke sales records for a media release,[4] and Halo 3 sold more than US $170 million worth of copies in the first 24 hours of release, breaking the record of Halo 2.[5] As of October 4, 2007, all three Halo games combined have sold more than 20 million copies.[6] The franchise has expanded to include five novels, several graphic novels, and numerous other licensed products, from action figures to Mountain Dew. The cultural impact of the Halo series has been compared to that of the Star Wars franchise,[7] with those who enjoy the series being dubbed the "Halo Nation".[8][9]
Graphic novels
The Halo universe was adapted into the graphic novel format in the Halo Graphic Novel, a collection of four short stories, released during July 2006.[54] It was written and illustrated by well-known graphic novelists Lee Hammock, Jay Faerber, Tsutomu Nihei, Brett Lewis, Simon Bisley, Ed Lee and Jean Giraud. Bungie Studios considers the Halo novels as canon.[55]
At the New York Comic-Con 2007, Marvel Comics announced they will be working on "Halo ongoing series" with Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev.[56] The first part of the series, titled Halo: Uprising, bridges the gap between the events of Halo 2 and Halo 3.

Numerous action figures and vehicles based on Halo have been produced by Joyride Studios and include, among others, the Master Chief. Another line of action figures, made by McFarlane, was also produced for Halo 3. Bungie also teamed up with WizKids to make Halo ActionClix, a collectible miniatures game. The tabletop game features detailed sculpts of game characters with dials that track a unit's health and statistics.[57]
Alternate reality games Main articles: I Love Bees and Iris (game)
I Love Bees (aka The Haunted Apiary, in some circles) was an alternate reality game used to promote the release of Halo 2. The game was centered on a website created by 4orty2wo Entertainment, commissioned by Microsoft and endorsed by Bungie. Over the course of the game, audio clips were released that eventually formed a complete five-hour story set on Earth between Halo and Halo 2. Similarly, the ARG Iris was used as a viral marketing campaign for the release of Halo 3.

As a highly popular video game with a large and active fan base, the Halo games have been host to a wide array of video productions. These include many videos from the emerging entertainment medium of machinima. Virtually all footage is taken from the multiplayer modes of Halo, Halo 2 and Halo 3. Most are set outside Halo canon, though some are based on Fan Fiction closely relating to the official Canon. The saved film feature of Halo 3 allows camera angles not possible in previous games and other simplifications of machinima production.
The most notable of these is the comedy series Red vs. Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles, created by Rooster Teeth Productions, a series that parodies the Halo universe. It has achieved an unparalleled level of success in Halo machinima in specific, and machinima in general; it is largely credited with
