    Halo Combat Evolved PC Review

    In Halo: Combat Evolved it's the year 2552 and you play as a super soldier codenamed Spartan 117, but is usually called Master Chief. In the game the humans (you) discover a planetary ring called "Halo". You fight a religious group of aliens called the Covenant who don't want you on there ring. You have other marines fighting with you, but you mostly go alone in the game.

    Halo has a great story to the game other than being just a shooter. You have a variety of guns, vehicles, and gadgets with you in the game like assault rifles, pistols, sniper rifles, tanks, warthogs (jeeps), banshees, grenades, etc. The guns fire well have a nice sound and feel as well as vehicles, grenades go boom everything. In the game you have health, but you also have a shield. It acts as a buffer for your health until you really take damage. What's good about it is that it recharges and it can help you beat a mission without health frustration. The are 10 levels with terrain variety like snow, urban, grasslands, etc. The sound and gameplay is good, but the graphics are kind of outdated.

    Halo: Combat Evolved is a great game for the PC and is lots of fun. If your a fan of a shooter than you better go buy this game.

It's more of an appreciation in hindsight, as Halo has obviously been eclipsed by modern shooters like Call of Duty 4, Half-Life 2 and Crysis. Open-field battles, two-weapon fighting and regenerating shields were really popularized here first and still make a great impression.The game world borrows a lot from acti...

      Where has halo been all my life 0

      Not since half life 1 which was released in 1998, there has been a better fps out there in the gamig world. Halo redefines this genre with its explosive gameplay and multiplayer action. It just took too long for it to arive on the pc.Masterchief will go down as the greatest action hero in video gaming history. With high pace action from the start of the game you will battle through alien like creatures and later on, zombies, which will test your shooting accuracy. Using your own weapons is not e...
