Halo: The Fall of Reach – Own it on Blu-ray and DVD on December 7 – Background Feature

When it comes to first person shooters, there aren’t many other games that can hold a candle to the Halo series – save maybe that small, relatively unknown game, Call of Duty. However, a lot of people who aren’t hardcore fans of the game can have difficulty in understanding what Halo is, the world it encompasses and the story of the infamous Master Chief.
Thankfully, the animated feature film, Halo: The Fall of Reach, is released on DVD and Blu-ray on 7th December and explains the Master Chief’s journey to become the power house he is in the games, as well as setting the scene for the world of Halo.
Based on the science fiction novel by Eric Nylund, the film is set in the 26th Century where we learn of the genetically enhanced human being that will eventually be known as Master Chief Petty Officer John-117. It documents where a young John came from and how the Halo game universe came into being and answers the questions of so many Halo fans: What is the Covenant? What is Reach? What are Spartans?
Throughout the Halo games and films to date, the main antagonist has been the Covenant. These are a mixture of different alien races whose sole goal is to eradicate the human race and whom the Master Chief and the UNSC (United Nations Space Command) battle against to protect mankind. Now, for the first time, you will find out where this mysterious army comes from. Halo: The Fall of Reach takes us back in time to discover the secrets that the Halo universe have never shown you before.
Whilst fans of the game may know the classic Halo plot lines, here is an introduction to the Halo world.
The reason this franchise is known as Halo is because of the Halo rings discovered by the Master Chief. These are giant structures which have the ability to destroy the entire universe. The combined strength of the Master Chief and his AI companion, Cortana, battle to save from the universe from Halo and destroy these super weapons for good. Along the way, numerous foes present themselves to try to stop Master Chief but in all of his encounters with seemingly impossible odds, his might and power ensures the universe’s safety.
If you’re looking to kickstart your interest in the juggernaut that is the Halo franchise, Halo: The Fall of Reach sets the scene perfectly. Likewise, if you’ve been captured by the story already, this backstory to the series and insight into the dark depths of the Master Chief’s origins will reveal all those questions you’ve been harbouring throughout the series.
