It\u2019s been 4 years since the events of Halo 3<\/a>! From the outset you\u2019re going to be under immense pressure \u2013 to say the least! Covenant and Promethean forces, a strange planet named Requiem and the emergence of something called a Didact, are just a few challenges you\u2019ll have to face! Halo 4 is a thrill-a-second journey \u2013 are you ready?<\/p>\n

Platform: <\/strong>Xbox 360<\/p>\n

Genre: <\/strong>First-person shooter<\/p>\n

Game mode: <\/strong>single player; multiplayer<\/p>\n

The story begins where Halo 3 ended. Master Chief John-117 is awakened from cryonic sleep by Cortana because the remnants of the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn <\/em>has drifted in the gravity well of a planet known as Requiem.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

John doesn\u2019t have much time to orientate himself because Covenant and Promethean forces board their ship, which crash-lands on the interior of the planet. Unfortunately, for an unknown reason, Cortana begins to experience \u201crampancy\u201d – the only way to save Cortana is to find the creator, a scientist named Catherine Halsey.<\/p>\n

In the midst of this, they receive a jumbled message that Infinity <\/em>is on its way and Cortana asks John to fix a \u201ccommunication jammer\u201d<\/p>\n

In trying to do so, Master Chief releases the Didact, an ancient Forerunner warrior! Just like Forward Unto Dawn, Infinity <\/em>is dragged into the gravity well and is attacked by Covenant and Promethean forces who are now controlled by the Didact \u2013 it\u2019s an all-out battle. The only option is to try and destroy the gravity well so that Infinity<\/em> can escape.<\/p>\n

Master Chief<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

In attempting to accomplish this, Master Chief is contacted by the Librarian<\/em> – another Forerunner. From this point onwards you are going to discover revelations and tragedies that you never though were possible \u2013 you better be prepared!<\/p>\n

Remember the Flood? What about an object called the Composer? You are going to have to be careful; your \u2013 and others \u2013 survival is at stake; heed these words.<\/p>\n

The gameplay is fantastic! Your player has a head-up display (HUD), which displays real-time information as well as ally and enemy tracking.<\/p>\n

There are also various gameplay modes from which you can choose; you can play alone or decide on co-op play, via split screen; through Xbox Live, you can add up to 3 players. There is also a multiplayer component called \u201cinfinity\u201d in which you play a Spartan-IV super-soldier.<\/p>\n
