Combat Evolved

The story that spawned a legendary series

Responsible for revolutionizing the console first-person shooter genre, Halo: Combat Evolved is a sci-fi shooter that takes place on a mysterious alien ring-world. As the Chief, your objective is to uncover Halo’s terrible secrets and destroy mankind's sworn enemy, the Covenant.

Battles rage on foot, in vehicles, inside and outdoors with a vast array of Human and Covenant weaponry—an experience positively packed with combat. Experience incredible mission variety solo or cooperatively with a friend, and engage in intense shootouts in split screen multiplayer combat with up to 16 players via System Link.

The game is the first in the series to include Kinect support.
