Halo is an upcoming film based on the video game series of the same name, developed by Bungie Studios.
Halo has major religious significance to the Covenant, as they seem to regard it as a powerful and sacred weapon, so Spartan 117 also known as the Master Chief and the Pillar of Autumn's A.I. construct, Cortana, try to gain control of it.
This activates Halo's pre-programmed defense mechanism, which is to wipe out all sentient life in the galaxy (which is what the Flood eat to survive), with a massive explosion, effectivly starving the flood to death.

 Video Game Talk | Reviews | Halo
Although there are moments in "Halo" that are fairly quiet and subdued (providing players a chance to stop and admire the landscape around them), much of the game involves some pretty intense battles and thankfully, there are enough weapons to go around.
It's pretty easy to fire and change weapons, although part of the strategy is, of course, to check weapons before heading into a fire fight, due to the fact that having to change weapons mid-fight may waste valuable seconds that the enemy can use to their advantage.
The game's graphics may not push the XBOX completely, but they're often brilliantly crafted, with worlds and interior environments that I would love to see realized in a film.

Well you can't just make the jump from video games to movie, you are going have to change some things to make it work, even if they do have creative control.
i think the only way this movie will be somewhat decent is if they make it a prequal to the halo and halo 2 video games, using the books that were written.
i seriously can see them making it so incredibly stupid if they attemp to create their own story line without the consent of bungie, the games develpers, and microsoft.
