From Quiz Halo: Combat Evolved

Answer: The Pillar of Autumn

The game commences with the Master Chief awakening from cryosleep aboard the under-attack Pillar of Autumn and the entire first level consists of traveling through the ship fighting off Covenant forces on your way to the escape pods. Unfortunately, the Pillar of Autumn comes crashing down; the player revisits it, crashed on the surface of the Halo, in the tenth and final level of the game known as "The Maw". The Pillar of Autumn was commissioned by the United Nations Space Command and sent through space to draw Covenant forces away from the home planet, Earth.

From Quiz Run! They're Coming!

Answer: The Covenant

In "Halo", the Covenant is the first enemy you meet. They storm the Pillars of Autumn, the UNSC spaceship you are on. Their own weapons are generally quite effective against them, but pistol works quite well, too. The most powerful Covenant enemies are Hunters and Elites, so killing them may require quite a bit of running, dodging, and sneakiness. Grunts and Jackals can be hand attacked to death rather easily, but can still put up quite a fight. The Covenant is a group of aliens bonded by a common religion. They worshipped the makers of the Halo, the Forerunners, and believed that activating the Halo Rings would cause them to all ascend to heaven and become gods. The Covenant Empire is a caste system ruled by San 'Shyuum, or Prophets. Elites rank near the top of the system, too.

From Quiz Which "Halo" Mission is it?

Answer: The Silent Cartographer

This level is quite interesting. You'll need to make your way around to two different parts of the island. First, you'll enter an area and the door to the map room will be unlocked. This means that you'll need to head around the island and unlock it. You can take the Warthog with you, but you're unlikely to get it into the deeper parts of the island. All the while, you'll need to fight various types of Covenant forces from Grunts to Hunters. There are also numerous Overshields and Camouflages to pick up along the way if you get stuck.

From Quiz The Missions of "Halo"

Answer: Pistol

You don't get a weapon at the beginning. You just have to run through the ship while other crew members fight off the Covenant. Once you get to the bridge you will have a little chat with Captain Keyes, after which he'll give you a Pistol.

From Quiz The Covenant Weapons of "Halo"

Answer: Plasma Rifle

The Plasma Rifle is mostly used by Elites. It is the closest Covenant weapon to the Human Assault Rifle. It can overheat easily, but the power supply is massive. The only problem is once the power supply is drained, you'll have to find a new one, because we do not yet know how to replace it.

From Quiz The Human Weapons of "Halo"

Answer: Threshold

The MA5B Assault Rifle can fire approximately 15 rounds per second. That means it can drain its clip in about four seconds. It also has a tracker that will always point at the gas giant Threshold, which Installation 004 orbits. It's nice in levels like the Library in which it's easy to get turned around.

From Quiz 'Halo': Lord of the Ring

Answer: 1

From Quiz Halo All the Way!

A cryotube is a machine which slows down your life processes enabling a longer lifespan. Master Chief is awaken due to the risk of the Covenant finding Earth's location.

From Quiz Run! They're Coming!

Answer: Unggoy

Unggoys' name in Latin is "cold monk", if translated into English. Humans call Unggoy "Grunts" because they are comparatively weak, and do all the difficult labor within the Covenant caste. Grunts are far more likely to flee from you. Their motto is "If in doubt, flee." They are easily cowed, and killing a higher ranking Covenant alien will send them running away with their arms waving in the air. Grunts speak English, and you can hear them say, "This way! Oh no! Here, there're more! Not me! Whoa! Run!" Grunts are bipeds that breathe methane instead of oxygen. They have methane tanks strapped to their backs, which is the "hump" that protrudes above their heads. Within the Covenant caste system, Grunts are at the bottom, and essentially act as slaves. Unggoy carry Plasma Pistols or Needlers, and wear red or orange armor. It is possible to easily kill them simply by hand attacking, especially if they are asleep.

From Quiz "Halo: Combat Evolved" (Xbox)

Answer: your actions are seen through your characters eyes

First person shooters give the player the view as would be seen through the protagonist's eyes. In a third person shooter, the avatar is seen from the back. In a first person shooter, you see the hands and gun only, which leads to some pretty funny scenes as your character runs, hands pumping in front of him or her. First person shooters dominate the market at the moment.

From Quiz Master Chief's Encounters on "Halo"

From Quiz Which "Halo" Mission is it?

Answer: 343 Guilty Spark

In this level, you need to help Captain Keyes out again, so you'll head to a small warehouse-like bunker alone. At the very end of this bunker, you'll fight The Flood. After this encounter, you'll need to make your way back to the surface again. You'll also encounter the Shotgun for the first time, and it's great for destroying The Flood. So anyways, you'll need to make your way to the 'safety' of the surface and you'll run into Captain Keyes' marines. Find your way to 343 Guilty Spark (the blue light flying around) and the level's over.

From Quiz The Covenant Weapons of "Halo"

Answer: Ghost

Ghosts are somewhat like Banshees. They both have twin Plasma Canons mounted on them, and can hover. The Banshee can fly, though, and is also equipped with a Fuel Rod Gun. The Ghost doesn't rely as much on firepower as the Banshee does, but instead the driver will normally try to run you over. The Ghost also doesn't provide much protection for the driver. The bulk of the vehicle is in the front, so the driver is protected from those he/she is driving towards, but is open to all other angles.

From Quiz The Human Weapons of "Halo"

Answer: X2

There are few weapons with a zoom feature, and you should exploit this ability as much as you can. If you can hit your enemy before he/she can hit you, you already have an advantage (sure, it's dishonorable, but it keeps you alive). The pistol is also semi-automatic, making it quite deadly.

From Quiz 'Halo': Lord of the Ring

Answer: 4

Hunters (also known as Lekgolo), Elites (also known as Sangheili), Jackals (also known as Kig-yar)and Grunts (also known as Unggoy)are the only ones we see. Brutes (also known as Jiralhanae) and Prophets come in 'Halo 2', but as for now, no cigar.

Answer: anti-air

This makes them perfect for shooting down Banshees! (This is found in the "Halo" game manual.)

From Quiz Abandon Bob Hope

Answer: To save Captain Keyes

"It's definitely a hopeless task," we assure Bob. "The three sections of the level are insane, with invincible enemies hidden in stifling rooms and gloomy tunnels. Not to mention, you are abandoned by your Marine companions somewhere along the line. You should probably quit." "Nonsense! I'm very hopeful," Mr. Hope retorted, then guffawed over his pun. "This is very fun, and I shall certainly make it through. And as for my companions deserting me, you'll see! They won't." After awhile, I check on Bob again. To my exasperation, I discover that he has not moved from the point where the Marines, as programmed in the game, announce that they will remain there, thus abandoning him. Hope apparently grabbed the mouse and used it as microphone to sing "Thanks for the Memory" to the screen, in hopes that the song will goad them into action. I found him lustily singing the song for the umpteenth time. Disregarding Bob's protestations, I take over and coldly shoot the Marines to death, then force march the Master Chief through the rest of the level, until the scene where the rescued Captain Keyes flies away to safety. "Hey, there was no need to do that!" Bob argues. "I always sang that song to soldiers during the war. These are no different."

Answer: Explosion

As he follows the marine, the marine encounters a locked door. While entering the code to open the door, an explosion kills the marine.

From Quiz Run! They're Coming!

Answer: Jackals

Jackals, Covenant creatures, do not appear until the second level, "Halo". They always sport a shield in one hand and a plasma pistol in the other. Jackals' shields make simply firing and killing them more difficult. Sniping at uncovered parts or using hand attack should kill them quite quickly. Generally used as scouts or spies, Jackals are less easily cowed than Grunts, and one plasma bolt from them may take away your shield. Kig-yar, known as Jackals to the humans, are a bipedal, bird-like group of creatures that are part of the Covenant. They are mercenaries, serving the Covenant for reward instead of the religion. Within the cast system, Kig-yar are slightly superior to Unggoy (Grunts), but below all other Covenant species. "Hateful bandit" is the English version of "Kig-yar". Being small and fast and used as spies, the name does fit.
