Sound

Just like the graphic s within the entirety of Halo, the sound effects are also done in a nice manner.

With this interesting storyline and fantastic graphics that is more than enough to make its graphic designer pleased and full of pride, Halo is really creditable and worthy to be set as an example for future game creators.
