When Microsoft handed the Halo torch from Bungie to 343 Industries in 2010, fans of the series were distraught that their beloved franchise was no longer going to be in the hands of its creator.

Seamlessly switch between old and new graphics; Gorgeous redone maps from Halo: CE and Halo: 2; Campaign collectibles explore Forerunner history

No energy swords in campaign; Campaign remains tedious in parts

It's Halo but with updated graphics and music, though you can easily change both back to their original states from the pause menu. No noticeable changes in gameplay minus your jumping reaching a shorter distance. I definitely recommend this for any Halo fan who still uses their 360!

I'm surprised at how much there were able to update the original game. Even though the original wasn't an ugly game the graphics are such an improvement in this anniversary edition. The online play is just as frantic and crazy.

What is there to say? If you love the Halo series and especially if you played the original many years ago like myself then this is a must. Especially nice touch is that although they've uprated the graphics in the remake, they've actually included an option to play in the original graphics.

Online Play; Great Value; Graphics,

Very well done remake, but a second play through does highlight the flaws in Halo that the excitement of the original didn't. Notably The Library level, which is just pure repetition and frustration. Very difficult as well.

I am amazed what 343 studio's have done with halo combat evolved, the graphics are soo much improved and game play has not changed at all making this for me the best halo has ever been, I really hope 343 studio's do a simular remake of halo 2, I had the original but playin this really does feel like...

this was accurately surmised as the "campaign of the decade". i have loved this series since it came out, (i almost cried when i saw this final...

So cool to pick this up so many years later, the gameplay is still awesome. The HD graphics aren't quite as good as the recent Halo games, but still a huge improvement over the first game.

Great product, I would sadly scratch my disk on accident 5 days after purchase and they offered no assistance. Got a new one on the way from a different source. It is like a mix of one and 4 with the pistols being key, and the game play being Microsoft.

Loved it when it first came out. Cool that you can see the game in its original format. Son loves it too.
