About This Quiz

How big is Halo as a franchise? That depends on what you feel qualifies as big. Is $5 billion in sales big? Because Halo has already rolled over that figure and just keeps climbing up the charts. There's a lot to dig about the game franchise. A cool man character you can get into, a very cool array of enemies and, most important for this kind of game, nonstop action to keep even the most easily distractable gamers having a good time.  Over the last 18 years of gaming, there have been about 13 different iterations of Halo to play ranging from the main franchise to the various spin-off and ancillary games. Then there's the whole media franchise! Halo comics, Halo anime, Halo books and there's even a live-action series on the way for 2021 produced by Steven Spielberg. There's a lot to love!

If you're a big fan of the Halo universe, then you've definitely latched onto a character you love more than the others. Are you a classic Master Chief fan? Do you love Cortana's wit? Did Noble Six live up to his name? Does Tartarus shake your nerves? Let's find out which character you match up with by taking the quiz!
