A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when
exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or
patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have
no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed
condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures”
while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including
lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or
shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary
loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness
or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking
nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience
any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their
children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are
more likely than adults to experience these seizures.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by
sitting farther from the television screen, using a smaller television
screen, playing in a well-lit room, and not playing when you are
drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy,
consult a doctor before playing.

including Xbox games, are played on them. Static images presented
during the normal course of game play may “burn in” to the screen,
causing a permanent shadow of the static image to appear at all
times, even when video games are not being played. Similar damage
may occur from static images created when placing a video game
on hold or pause. Consult your television owner’s manual to
determine if video games can be played safely on your set. If you

The year is 2552. Planet Earth still exists, but
overpopulation has forced many of her former
residents to colonize other worlds. Faster-than-light
travel is now a reality, and Earth’s unified
government, through the United Nations Space
Command, has put its full weight behind the
colonization effort; millions of humans now live on
habitable planets in other solar systems. A keystone
of humanity’s colonization efforts is the planet
Reach, an interstellar naval yard that builds colony
ships for civilians and warships for the UNSC’s
armed forces. Conveniently close to Earth, Reach
is also a hub of scientific and military activity.
Thirty-two years ago, contact with the outer colony
Harvest was lost. A battlegroup sent to investigate
was almost completely destroyed; only one badly
damaged ship returned to Reach. Its crew told of a
seemingly unstoppable alien warship that had
effortlessly annihilated their forces.
This was humankind’s first encounter with a group
of aliens they eventually came to know as the
Covenant, a collective of alien races united in their
fanatical religious devotion. Covenant religious
elders declared humanity an affront to the gods,
and the Covenant warrior caste waged a holy war
upon humanity with gruesome diligence.
After a series of crushing defeats and obliterated
colonies, UNSC Admiral Preston Cole established
the Cole Protocol: no vessel may inadvertently lead
the Covenant to Earth. When forced to withdraw,
ships must avoid Earth-bound vectors—even if that
means jumping without proper navigational
calculations. Vessels in danger of capture must
self-destruct.
On Reach, a secret military project to create cyborg
super-soldiers takes on newfound importance. The
soldiers of the SPARTAN-II project rack up an
impressive record against the Covenant in test
deployments, but there are too few of them to turn
the tide of the war.
Existing SPARTAN-II soldiers are recalled to Reach
for further augmentation. The plan: board a Covenant
vessel with the improved SPARTAN-IIs and learn the
location of the Covenant home world. Two days
before the mission begins, Covenant forces strike
Reach and annihilate the colony. The Covenant are
now on Earth’s doorstep. One ship, the

The Covenant forces have spent more than thirty years trying
to wipe out humankind. Because their efforts have been so
successful, and because few Covenant troops have ever been
captured alive, little is definitively known about their origins,
society, or motivations. Intercepted communications and
battlefield reports indicate a religious underpinning to their
genocidal campaign. What follows are brief descriptions of
the alien races known to belong to the Covenant collective,
gathered mostly from encounters on the battlefield.
The Grunts
Approximately 5’ tall and
relatively weak, Grunts tend to
travel in packs and stick
close to more powerful allies.
Individually they are easy to
defeat, but in groups they
can overwhelm careless Marines.
Their armor seems
to house some sort of life-support
mechanism. They are known to
use a variety of
weapons including the plasma
pistol, plasma rifle and
plasma grenades.
The Jackals
With superior senses of sight,
hearing and smell, Jackals serve
as scouts and assassins for the
Covenant forces. They use
plasma pistols and carry a
strong energy shield to
compensate for their physical
weakness; a well-positioned
Jackal can hold his own
against several Marines, though
grenades are effective against
them. They stand approximately
5’ 8” tall.
The Elites
There are a few varieties of the
Elite, but all are roughly 8’ 6” tall
and incredibly strong. Their
strength allows them to rely on
brute force when necessary,
but they’re quite capable of
brilliant battlefield tactics as
well. Their natural resilience is
augmented with full-body energy
shielding which recharges
when depleted. They wield plasma
pistols, plasma rifles, grenades
and needlers.
The Hunters
Hunters stand 12’ tall, though in
their combat state they contract
to approximately eight feet.
Hunters fight with a fuel rod gun
integrated directly into their
armor. They carry an enormous
and nearly-impervious metal
shield made of an unknown alloy,
which they sometimes use as a
melee weapon.

check how many magazines of ammo you have left, as
well as the number of rounds left in a magazine. It also

Health and Shield Indicators
The Health Indicator is the gauge next to the blue cross
symbol. Your health indicator is persistent but additional
indicators will appear on the HUD when you’re driving
the Warthog and have a gunner or passenger on board
(shown below). How full the fill bar is, and the color
used to fill it, indicates health status: red is poor, yellow
is okay, and blue is excellent. Health does not restore
automatically over time, but sometimes health powerups can be found right when you need them.
The Shield Indicator is the gauge next to the shield
symbol. When you’re not taking damage, your shield
charges automatically and stops charging when you
reach full power. When your shields are at a critical
level, the fill bar color changes to red until they recover
to full power.

M9 HE-DP Grenade
The M9 high-explosive, dual-purpose
grenade is a thrown fragmentation device.
Use it to suppress or disable vehicles, except
tanks. It can be thrown, rolled, bounced or
ricocheted into places direct fire weapons
can’t reach. Increase the angle of the throw
to toss it farther, or to get it over obstacles.
Be careful not to throw it too close to your
own location.
MA5B Assault Rifle
This rifle is gas-operated and
magazine-fed. It fires 7.62mm armorpiercing rounds. Rate of fire is limited
by a soldier’s ability to aim, fire and
change magazines. Short, controlled
bursts are more accurate than fully
automatic fire.
The MA5B’s integrated computer
displays rounds left in the magazine
and the relative direction of the gas
giant, Threshold, for point of
reference. This feature is particularly
useful for orienting you in areas
where it’s easy to get turned around
and lose your sense of direction.

The shotgun is a pump-action

used to engage several targets
simultaneously at medium and
long range.
M19 SSM Rocket Launcher
The M19 SSM is a man-portable and
shoulder-fired rocket launcher. It has
two major components, the launcher

M41 LAAG
The Warthog’s M41 light anti-aircraft
gun is a three-barreled, electricpowered, linkless, drum-fed weapon.
It fires 450 to 550 12.7x99mm
armor penetrating rounds per
minute. Turret traverse rate is 100
degrees per second and weapon
elevation rate is 60 degrees per
second. Recoil from sustained fire is
prodigious and negatively impacts
accuracy at long range.

You should also be aware of the weapons the Covenant use
since you can pick up and use any that you find by walking
over them when you see them lying on the ground. The
Covenant seem more vulnerable to these weapons, so take
advantage of this weakness whenever possible.

Needler
Very little is known about this weapon
other than that it is a magazine fed
weapon capable of automatic fire. Its
projectiles penetrate soft targets no
matter what the angle of impact. They
ricochet off of hard surfaces at oblique
angles, however, and are always
deflected by energy fields, the only
exceptions to this being the shields
generated by the MJOLNIR battle suit
and the Elite’s combat armor. The
composition and energy signature of
its projectile is unknown. The manner
in which the projectiles home in on
their target is also unknown.
Stationary Gun (Shade)
Although the Shade appears to be a
light anti-vehicle weapon, the
Covenant uses it almost exclusively in
an anti-infantry role. The operator sits
directly behind the gun and an
armored control suite, but relies
entirely on infantry support for
protection to the sides and rear.
Plasma Grenade
This weapon is similar to our own hand grenade
in that it is a thrown anti-infantry and antivehicle weapon. It has some kind of internal
mechanism that allows it to distinguish between
targets and background. For example, it will
stick to a soldier or vehicle, but not a tree or
wall. It has a three-second fuse that is activated
after it sticks to a target or otherwise comes
to a rest.

Halo is vast and you will need to cover a lot of ground quickly,
so vehicles are indispensable. Therefore, hijacking Covenant
vehicles is useful and necessary. The strength provided by
your MJOLNIR armor allows you to right overturned vehicles

Human Vehicles
Humans brought the following vehicles with them on the
of Autumn
:
M12 LRV
Crew: 1+1 (plus 1 more in rear)
Weight: 3.25 tons
Armament: 12.7mm three-barreled machine-gun
The M12 light reconnaissance vehicle, or
Warthog, is the standard vehicle of the
UEG armed forces. It is fast and
during hard cornering. A three-barreled machine-gun is
mounted in the rear of the vehicle. Armed passengers
significantly increase the unit’s anti-infantry capacity.
also has very high anti-infantry capabilities. Its ceramictitanium armor makes it nearly invulnerable to small
arms fire, but its deep dead-zone, or the area within which
fire from the tank’s guns cannot hit targets, puts it at
risk from enemy anti-tank infantry. Up to four soldiers
may ride on (and fire from) the Scorpion’s track pods.
Riding on a tank is always hazardous and should be
done only when the advantages outweigh the risks.

Pillar
Covenant Vehicles
You may encounter the following standard Covenant
vehicles on Halo:
Ghost
Crew: 1
Weight: 3.25 tons
Armament: Two Plasma Cannons
(100-250 kW range)
The Ghost is the Covenant’s standard
reconnaissance and rapid attack vehicle.
It is equipped with two of what are now
accepted as the standard light vehicle
mounted weapons: a directed energy weapon capable
of projecting a bolt of super-heated plasma in the 100250kW range. While the vehicle is fast and
maneuverable, the driver is virtually unprotected.
Banshee
Crew: 1
Weight: 2.25 tons
Armament: Two Plasma Cannons
(100-250 kW range)
Secondary weapon: Two Fuel Rod Cannons
The Banshee is the Covenant’s standard
ground assault aircraft. It is very fast,
extremely maneuverable and capable of hovering. It has
two weapon pods mounted to either side of the fuselage.
Both of these pods contain a light plasma cannon and
a fuel rod cannon. Though small arms fire may disrupt
or disable the pilot, only heavy weapons are capable
of inflicting damage or destroying the vehicle.

Multiplayer Game Types
The following information briefly describes the multiplayer
games you can choose from. Full descriptions of the game
types and options are available in the Multiplayer Game
setup screens.
Capture the Flag (CTF)
In CTF the object of the game is to capture the enemy flag
and return it to your own base, but there are a number of
options that change the rules of game in all sorts of
unpredictable ways.
King of the Hill
In King of the Hill, the object of the game is to capture and
hold key locations on the map. The first player to occupy
the target zone for a pre-set amount of time wins the game.
Slayer
Slayer games feature head-to-head battles against the other
players. The first player or team to eliminate a certain number
of enemies wins the game.
Oddball
In Oddball the object of the game is to find and hold the ball
for as long as you can. The Oddball basic rules can also be
changed so that you can play lots of other game types
as well.
Race
Be the first player or team to “tag” all the objective points
that appear during the game to win the race.
About BungieAbout Bungie
About Bungie
About BungieAbout Bungie
Bungie was founded in 1991 with two goals: to develop games that combine
brilliant technology, beautiful art, intelligent stories and deep gameplay, and
then sell enough of those games to achieve our real goal of total world
domination.
We’ve spent the last ten years perfecting our craft, and along the way we shipped
games like the Marathon Trilogy and the Myth series, hailed as classics by
critics and gamers around the world. Our only advantages were a willingness
to work hard and an unwillingness to take anything too seriously.
It might sound like we’re bragging, but we wouldn’t be where we are today
without the support of a rabid, intelligent and steadily growing fan base. But
what is it about Bungie that attracts such devotion? We’re not entirely sure
ourselves, but if you’re interested we humbly ask that you visit our Web site,
www.bungie.com. There you can find out more about our games and the people
and philosophies behind them. To us, Bungie is not just a name-it’s a way of life.
We hope you’ll join us. Next stop: world domination!
Brothers and Sisters: the time is nigh. There is strength in numbers.
