Halo: Spartan Strike

About the Game

Halo: Spartan Strike takes place during two eras: the first part during the events of Halo 2, and the second part after the events of Halo 4. The player character is a Spartan IV supersoldier that leads UNSC forces against the Covenant within a combat simulation. During the Covenant invasion of the Earth city of New Mombasa, they sought an artifact known as the Conduit. While a group of human soldiers were able to secure the Conduit, they were presumed lost after the city was devastated by a slipspace rupture. Five years later, the UNSC receives a signal from the Conduit on the Forerunner ringworld Gamma Halo, where they fight against a new Covenant faction also seeking the artifact. They learn that the Conduit can open Forerunner portals across the galaxy, and transported itself away from New Mombasa to avoid destruction. This new Covenant faction intends to use the Conduit to bring Promethean reinforcements to Gamma Halo and wrest control of the ring. Though the Conduit is recovered, the faction open portals to the human city of New Phoenix. The UNSC brings the Conduit to the base to shut down the portals, stemming the invasion, but the Conduit slips away again. The player is tasked with joining a team to hunt down the Conduit.
