    Halo CEA brings that old nostalgia of games from the beginning of the century. It's just perfect when it comes to campaign, gameplay and multiplayer.

    While in some areas showing its age with level design and repetitive areas, the FPS action holds up and story is great. Well worth playing as an introduction to the series.

    Here the big franchise Halo began. So the story is good and has a lot to offer, it is a nice space opera. The dialogues are good most of the time, some were a bit childish.
    The gameplay is classic, I like the alien weapons, they are a bit different to the standard weapons.
    The graphics and setting on an alien planet is great and was a milestone in the old times. One thing that is very

    One thing that is very bad is the recycling of levels at the end of the game.

    , I would say that you should play with the old school graphics because the new ones makes the game looks a bit too shiny I mean the supposed to look older property but with the new graphics it looks too shiny and like made yesterday.
    , But it's one of my favourite games I play it once a year and my opinion it's the best Halo.
    , But sadly I cannot give it a 10 out of 10 because the library exist and i never play that piece of s*** level again

    Siempre he sido un gran amante de los FPS. Me gustan los clásicos, como Doom o Wolfenstein. Recuerdo que en los 90, cuando salieron, me llamaron poderosamente la atención.

Recuerdo que en los 90, cuando salieron, me llamaron poderosamente la atención. Yo no tuve una máquina capaz de mover uno hasta relativamente tarde, después de su salida, pero siempre los vi en las revistas especializadas como unos grandes pendientes. El primer Halo fue uno de esos juegos llamativos, junto con la saga Turok o Half Life, podría seguir, muchos de esos títulos a día de hoy todavía están pendientes. Pero este Halo ya lo he completado.

    Entiendo perfectamente que en su día este juego por si solo te vendiera una consola Xbox. Los gráficos y el gunplay son espectaculares, es lo mejor que tiene el título y en esta Anniversary Edition remasterizada y con los gráficos reescalados y suavizados todavía se muestra como un juego que ha envejecido bastante bien. Claro que a día de hoy, también es cierto, que se le ven un poco las costuras; diseño repetitivo de niveles, de modelos de enemigos, quizás hay poca variedad de armas…. Aún así es un clásico y me atrevería a decir que es uno de esos juegos que hay que jugar entero antes de morir, si te gustan los FPS, claro. La historia no es muy allá y da un poco igual, pero el Jefe Maestro es uno de los personajes más icónicos de la historia de los videojuegos y este Halo: Combat Evolved es una clara muestra de porqué es así. Un imprescindible.

    The classic CE port is almost perfect! Very nice to have the game on pc again!

    No matter how old Halo: CE becomes, it will always remain a timeless classic. It is still one hell of a game even to this day. This PC port is a great way to experience the magic of the old days, but avoids a perfect score due to the technical issues with animation, and general bugginess.

    Начало великой эпопеи о Мастере Чифе и его борьбе против Ковенанта. Игра по сравнению со следующим очень камерная, но хуже от этого не становится

    HALO:Combat Evolded Annivsrsary is a great remake of the legendary game with pumped up graphics and redesigned locations, but there remains the problem of monotonous locations and strange car controls. But this does not cancel the legendarity of the game.

    Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is an outstanding first-person shooter that remains a joy to play nearly a decade after its original release. This remastered version looks and plays great, but audio bugs and downgraded Classic visuals sully the experience.

    Packaged with the rest of the Master Chief Collection, it’s an easy way to hop in and see what all the fuss was about 20 years ago. If you’ve spent the last 20 years moulding Halo PC into a custom content chimaera, it’s a harder sell. What Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is offering a clean slate.

    More time capsule than game, stirring sentimental wonderment and bad memories in equal measure.
