Halo: Combat Evolved

 
A lone super-soldier. An alien ringworld. One of gaming’s most iconic battles. Halo: Combat Evolved rewrote the first-person shooter rulebook, merging blockbuster scale with nerve-shredding action. You’re the Master Chief, thrust into a war for humanity’s survival—armed with legendary weapons and the fate of the galaxy on your shoulders.
Epic Campaign, Timeless Multiplayer
Every firefight matters as you lead UNSC marines through Halo’s mysterious ruins, lush valleys, and Covenant-infested corridors. Intelligent AI, enemy squads that flank and retreat, and massive, nonlinear arenas demand tactics—and reward the bold. Legendary LAN and split-screen multiplayer let players battle it out in deathmatches and capture the flag, spawning communities and memories that still live on. The balance of vehicles, clever weapon sandbox, and seamless story immersion set a new bar for the genre.
