Halo: Combat Evolved, also referred to as
Halo: CE, or simply
Halo, is a
first-person shooter video game developed by
Bungie and published by
Microsoft Game Studios. The first game of the
Halo franchise, it was released on November 15, 2001 as a
launch title for the
Xbox gaming system,
[1] and is considered the platform's "
killer app".
[7] With more than five million copies sold worldwide as of November 9, 2005,
[8] Microsoft released versions of the game for
Microsoft Windows (
ported by
Gearbox Software) and
Mac OS X in 2003, and the surrounding storyline was adapted and elaborated into a series of novels and
comic books. The game was later released as an
Xbox Original for download onto an
Xbox 360 HDD.
Halo is set in the twenty-sixth century, with the player assuming the role of the
Master Chief, a
cybernetically enhanced super-soldier. The player is accompanied by
Cortana, an
artificial intelligence who occupies the Master Chief's neural interface. Players battle various aliens as they attempt to uncover the secrets of the
eponymous Halo, a ring-shaped
artificial world. The game has been called "easy to learn",
[9] and has been praised for its "engaging story".
[10]
Many game magazines have praised
Halo as one of the best
[11] and most important
[12] games of all time. The game's popularity has led to labels such as "
Halo clone"
[13] and "
Halo killer", applied respectively to games either similar to or anticipated to be better than it.
[14][15] In addition, the game inspired and was used in the fan-created
Red vs. Blue video series, which is credited as the "first big success" of
machinima[16] (the technique of using real-time 3D engines, often from video games, to create animated films). Two sequels,
Halo 2 and
Halo 3, a side game,
Halo 3: ODST, and a prequel,
Halo: Reach, were released in 2004, 2007, 2009, and 2010, respectively. A remake,
Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, was released in 2011, on the 10th anniversary of the original game's release.
Halo 4, a planned sequel by
343 Industries, is currently in development.
