Item Description

The first time a Warthog crests a hill on an alien ringworld while Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori's chanting score swells, it is easy to understand why Halo: Combat Evolved changed console gaming. Bungie's launch title for the original Xbox in 2001 proved that a first-person shooter could feel at home on a controller, and it did it with such confidence that the genre's rules on consoles were rewritten almost overnight.

You are the Master Chief, a biologically augmented Spartan super-soldier, woken from cryosleep as the Covenant tear into the Pillar of Autumn. Crash-landed on Halo, he fights alongside Cortana, the AI riding in his armor, and Captain Keyes to uncover what the ring was built for. The campaign is full of moments players still talk about: the beach landing of The Silent Cartographer, the storming of the Covenant cruiser in Truth and Reconciliation, and the horrifying turn in 343 Guilty Spark when the Flood enters the story.

The design ideas were as influential as the setting. A two-weapon limit forces real decisions, a recharging energy shield rewards stepping back from a fight to recover, and grenades and melee each get their own button. Covenant enemies behave like squads, with Grunts panicking when an Elite falls, and vehicles such as the Warthog, Ghost, Banshee and Scorpion tank turn open levels into sandboxes. The whole campaign can be played in split-screen co-op, which made it a living-room staple.

Then there was multiplayer. Split-screen matches and System Link games with up to sixteen players turned maps like Blood Gulch into legend and launched a generation of LAN parties. Halo became the Xbox's defining game and the foundation of a franchise that still carries the console's identity today. Playing the original disc on the hardware it was built for is the purest way to experience where it all began.
