Template:Italic title Template:Scope Template:Infobox series
Halo is a military science fiction video game series and media franchise owned by Minecraft:Microsoft via their gaming division Xbox and Template:W. Minecraft:Minecraft has collaborated with the franchise on multiple occasions over the years.
Background
Halo is a multimedia franchise, beginning in 2001 with the first-person shooter video game Template:W and its tie-in novel, Template:W. The series is set in a futuristic universe in which humankind colonized the Earth's interstellar neighborhood and encounters a hostile, theocratic alliance of aliens known as the Covenant, who – motivated by promises of ascension to godhood – begin a genocidal holy war against the humans, in which their superior technology and numbers prove to be decisive advantages. The franchise's installments primarily follow Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 (colloquially called Master Chief), a cybernetically enhanced supersoldier known as "Spartan", on his mission to fight against the Covenant.
Halo: Combat Evolved was the original Xbox's flagship game and established Microsoft as a major player in the video game console space. The protagonist Master Chief is seen as the de facto mascot of the Halo and Xbox brands. Subsequent entries in the franchise pioneered online matchmaking, social features, and video game marketing. The games have sold more than 81 million copies worldwide, with several titles being critically acclaimed. Halo is among the highest-grossing media franchises of all time with more than $6 billion in franchise sales.

Character creator
[[Minecraft::Character Creator/Halo]]
At some point, the quote "Keep your head down, there's two of us in here now. Remember?" spoken by Cortana in the level The Pillar of Autumn in Template:W was added as one of the various Minecraft:splash texts.<ref>"Keep your head down, there's two of us in here now. Remember?"</ref>
When the Master Chief Mash-up pack was getting updated in December 2021, the Marketplace icon was updated to be Halo themed. The icons were made by Aleesa Tana, who – having only a three day turn around and no access to the mash-up pack itself – used their partner's knowledge during the creation process.<ref>Template:Cite</ref>
