When the game begins, [[Master Chief|John-117]] is back on [[Earth]], where the [[Covenant Loyalists]] (Prophets, Brutes, Drones, Grunts, Hunters and Jackals), led by the [[Prophet of Truth]], have laid waste to most of the planet. Humankind's population has been reduced to at least 200 million people, and is backed up against a wall, fighting for its very survival. The only reason that they have survived for this long is that the Covenant is preoccupied by an excavation site a few miles from the ruins of the East African city [[New Mombasa]]. There, they have uncovered a massive [[Forerunner]] structure, which is seen in the E3 2006 trailer, that has been buried under the planet's surface for thousands, if not millions of years. It was partially uncovered due to the Slipspace jump that was attempted in [[Halo 2]] by the [[Prophet of Regret]]. | When the game begins, [[Master Chief|John-117]] is back on [[Earth]], where the [[Covenant Loyalists]] (Prophets, Brutes, Drones, Grunts, Hunters and Jackals), led by the [[Prophet of Truth]], have laid waste to most of the planet.

[[Sergeant Major Johnson]] and the [[Arbiter]] retrieve the [[Master Chief]] after a rough jump from orbit, landing in a section of the east African jungle. The three of them manage to make it to Crow's Nest, a 21st century facility used as a local base of operations by the [[UNSC]]. Shortly after they reach their destination, the Covenant mounts an attack on the facility, and it is during this time that the Chief starts receiving disturbing transmissions from [[Cortana]]. After a brief struggle, in which the outpost is lost, Master Chief receives orders from Commander Keyes and Lord Hood to clear a way into the African city of Voi, and destroy all Covenant anti-air defenses in preparation for an all-out assault on Truth and the artifact. After the Master Chief and the Arbiter destroy the defenses, Truth activates the artifact and creates an enormous slip space portal, into which all the Covenant ships retreat. As Keyes follows the Dreadnought a Covenant ship controlled by the [[Flood]] arrives by slip space and crash lands nearby, and the parasite quickly spreads throughout the city of New | [[Sergeant Major Johnson]] and the [[Arbiter]] retrieve the [[Master Chief]] after a rough jump from orbit, landing in a section of the east African jungle.

The Elites inform [[Commander Keyes]] that a human [[AI|construct]] is aboard the ship, and identify it as Cortana. The Master Chief and the Arbiter attempt to fight off the Flood and retrieve Cortana from the Flood ship. After they have completed all of their objectives, [[343 Guilty Spark]] arrives by an Elite vessel, and insists that he take [[Cortana]] somewhere where he can make repairs, claiming that now his [[Installation 04|Installation]] has been destroyed he has no more pre-set functions, and wants to help the Master Chief destroy the [[Flood]]. Once the Arbiter and Master Chief are evacuated, the Elites glass the whole of Africa. This amplifies the hard feelings between Lord Hood and Ship master Rtas 'Vadum, the Spec. Ops Leader of Halo 2, Shipmaster of the ''Shadow of Intent'' and Fleet Master of the Elites. | The Elites inform [[Commander Keyes]] that a human [[AI|construct]] is aboard the ship, and identify it as Cortana.
