Halo Legends

Halo Legends features seven different stories set in the Halo universe, each made by a different studio. The Babysitter follows the Helljumpers, Orbital Drop Shock Troopers who are sent behind enemy lines to perform an assassination. The Duel features the tale of an ancient Arbiter who refused to bow down to the Covenant religion. Branded a heretic, he must now face the consequences of his actions. The Package depicts a group of Spartans, including the Master Chief, who are deployed to infiltrate a Covenant flagship and retrieve a “package” in a secret operation. Origins shows Master Chief and Cortana stranded following the events of Halo 3, with Cortana summarizing the fall of the Forerunners, the defeat of the Flood, and the rise of humanity as well as the events of the Human-Covenant War. Homecoming centers on the Spartan Daisy, who reminisces on her past, and the SPARTAN-II project while evacuating UNSC soldiers pinned down by Covenant forces. Prototype is viewed from the perspective of Marine Sergeant Ghost, who is determined to fight for all he is worth in order to make up for past grievances. Odd One Out is a non-canon parody of Halo featuring Spartan 1337, who suffers from extremely bad luck.This particular segment from Halo Legends appears to focus on the relationship between a squad of elite Orbital Drop Shock Troopers and the even more elite Spartan soldier that’s paired up with them. Once the action picks up — contrary to what you probably expect from the Halo franchise at this point — there isn’t really a lot of gunplay; in fact, there are way more punches thrown than bullets fired. Sure, the games are all about shooting at brightly-colored aliens, but what Halo fan wouldn’t want to see a Spartan take on a towering Brute in hand-to-hand combat?
