Synopsis
Setting and characters
Halo 4 takes place in a futuristic science fiction setting in the year 2557, four years after the events of Halo 3.[23] The game's backstory and franchise novels detail that hundreds of thousands of years before the modern era, humans were one of several interstellar civilizations.Following a war with the parasitic Flood, the humans and their allies came into conflict with the Forerunners, a powerful race that upheld a policy of benevolent shepherding of other races they called the Mantle. After years of conflict the Forerunners beat the humans and stripped them of their technology and empire. The Forerunners soon fought the Flood themselves; after exhausting every otherstrategic option available to them the Forerunners activated weapons of mass destruction known as the Halo Array, killing all unprotected sentient life in the galaxy to deprive the Flood of their food. Life that the Forerunners catalogued was then reseeded throughout the galaxy.[24][25]
In the 26th century, space-faring humanity (organized under the United Nations Space Command, or UNSC) comesunder attack from the Covenant, an alien collective of species that worships the Forerunners as gods, and believe that activating the Halos will bring about salvation, not destruction.[26] The human supersoldier Master Chief John-117, along with his artificial intelligence companion Cortana, are instrumental in stopping the Halos from being activated, and the Flood from once again menacing thegalaxy.[27] At the end of Halo 3, Chief and Cortana are left stranded in unknown space aboard the remains of the frigate Forward Unto Dawn.[27]
Much of Halo 4's campaign and Spartan Ops' missions take place on or near the Forerunner planet Requiem. Part of the game also takes place on Ivanoff Research Station—a human base in orbit around the Halo ringworld Installation 03—and in Earth's orbit.
