Tomorrow marks 15 years that Microsoft jumped into the gaming market with only one game as a launch title. And that game has taken its place among the most legendary games of all time and can beat any modern-day shooter that was released into overrated consoles nowadays. Halo: Combat Evolved turns 15 tomorrow.

Playing this game when it first came out was magical. I was seven years old. We had a week off school due to snow and between playing outside and coming in and playing the snow missions, words just can’t describe it. I’m having my first child here in a few months, a boy. I can’t wait till he is old enough to play this, I’m gonna show him this game on his first snow day off from school. A new Halo fan is soon to enter this world!
Badass my big bro showed me halo 2 way back and I was hooked, now my son and I are campaiging through the entire series on master chief collection, its an awesome feeling best of luck to you
The armour they use is the trooper armor from reach so my guess they're survivors of reach unsc army planet defence while marines were since on the final mission with the enclosed helmets
I've been playing the heck out of the campaign for this game since getting it. Been about 5 years or so since I last played the singleplayer portion of this game but it still holds up remarkably well. In fact, even all these years later it's still my favorite FPS.
"Attention all personnel: We are re-engaging the enemy. External and internal contact imminent." This is IMHO still the most badass line in the whole game. Especially with the music in the background and the col. following with his "All you greenhorns" etc.
As soon as I heard the Halo music from the main menu, I wanted to cry because it brought all of the memories from 10 years ago. Halo is always part of me.

“5th platoon secure airlocks on deck 11, 14th platoon rendezvous with 22nd tactical at bulkhead Charlie 14” this line has stuck with me since I first played Halo and I have no idea why
Actually, all the Halo games were XBOX exclusives for their first year or so. Halo 1 and 2 were both ported to PC quite a while after their XBOX release.
I got my hands on this game and it kills me how amazing it is and how long the past 10 years have been Thank You 343 and Thank you for rehashing my past :)
Amazing story. Crazy to know only a handful of human survivors survived this incident. The entire pillar of autumn gets destroyed. They all barely managed to succeed in destroying halo. All those deaths were not in vain!
It's strange how even though I was 4 when Halo first came out, and I couldn't even hold a controller, my first memory of a video game is when I watched my brother play the this level. But now with the remake I will get to relive my memories as though it were yesterday... Like if this reminded you of your first time seeing Halo to celebrate what I consider the best game series of all time!
1:00 "Improper salute, you fatbody!" 1:19 "You again! Vanish off my bridge you maggot!" 1:41 "Oh look! Chubs is attempting to cardio! Mark your calendars, people!"
So many things they changed for this remaster, including the very cinematic opening of just showing the ring first with that ominous sound effect. It was just perfect.
Came here after the latest episode of the Halo series. Captain Keyes speaks the first line of first Halo game to be released.. And they killed him on Reach.. FFS, he is such a crucial character in the events of the first Halo.
Runescapehalofreak Halo 2 Anniversary has superior graphics technology than Halo 1 Anniversary, and with reason. You can expect aesthetical differences to appear between games. I don't find it to be a big deal. Maybe you do, but I think people do excessive nitpicking agaisn't 343. They're not so bad. I'm quite focused on how Halo 5 will come out now. And the messages I have heard so far are good. They're listening to the vast majority of complaints and act in consequence.
@Captainofbadasssquad I also remember the days of playing this when it first came out. I'm right there with you, I'm one of the people who enjoyed Halo Wars (even though the story sucked) and loved every Halo game, but there was something else that was extra special about the first Halo. something mysteriously mystic and wonderful.
@legoman365 The Pillar of Autumn crew was already in the orbit of Reach when the battle took place, and they left before the Shaw-Fujikawa Slip Space drive took damage from the Covenant ships weapons. They made a blind-jump, meaning that they didn't plug in coordinates for a jump destination in hopes that the Covenant couldn't track them, but Covenant tracking tech let them follow the "worm-hole" that the Shaw opened for slip space travel. So the "Greenhorns" that Sgt. Johnson refers to never
@xXAUTUMNofSOLACEXx The reason that Nobles teams members have their own personality quirks is because of them being spartan threes. Thats also why they appear smaller compared to George, and more normal size to fellow soldiers. Three's never received bio-augumentation on the level of the Two's. Also, if you havent caught on by now, George is a spartan two, stationed with Noble team. When Dr. Hasley reacts to his armor, thats because he modified the S-2 Mk. 5 armor he should have.
In the original Captain Keyes closes his eyes for a moment in worry, when Cortana tells him about the "3 capital ships per group". I think they should have kept that in, it really emphasized in what a hopeless situation they were...
@jimcoolfilms I do actually. -New weapons -New vehicles -New armor -New campaign -Armor customization -Big difference in graphics -New multiplayer maps -Online play -Firefight -Forge -New gametypes -More playlists CoD doesn't have all of these changes but it sure as hell has alot of them.
I can't understand why they changed the way Keys reacts when Cortana tells him about the "multiple CCS class battle groups". In the original you had a close up of his face as he closed his eyes when she got to "make it 3 capital ships per group." This was a very powerful bit IMO, perfectly expressed how hopeless the situation is and that the captain knows it. Here (facelift-)Keys doesn't react AT ALL. He generally seems way less expressive than the old Keys, ironically.
@SinDawg030 I thought it was incredible that even the Flooded Keyes still had it hahaha. I'm still looking forward to this anyway. A billion more hours of entertainment, yet to be had!!
Yea i know, but the pipe is a special thing, since you can find his pipe hanging on a tentacle in the original it was clearly a signature item, and removing it from this scene (wich is one of the thing i remember from the game) makes me sad, it's just the thought of why the developers removed it, it's pointless to remove it so... well it's pointless, it doesent take much work to add it and do the animations. it's a small important detail that they removed from anniversary that i happen to like.
this is the intro on Legendary, Different Johnson speech for the easier levels, I just may break out the origional game and have a go while I decide if I want the remastered version.
@Alexthapanda Theoretically someone in cryo could live for thousands of years. But yes, keyes' age would also be affected by his time in cryo - which would be a long time.
While watching this I noticed some minor changes in the cinematics and animation, which is nice becuase it makes the remake unique to the original for example in the original Keyes had a pipe (I guess the no smoking in public places is now in the future).
@KirbyTheEpic Certain Affinity is the company that made Halo CE Anniversary "look stunning..." They also did the included maps, and the second reach map pack. I just don't want it to be an obvious money grab, with a campaign about 5 hours long that ends with a "find out after you buy the next one."
Halo Combat Evolved was also released to the PC.. This Anniversary should be the same. I'm sure I'm not the only PC user that is itching to play this game.
@NextGenGameSystem no, as in the beginning of the series. yes, halo wars was set before halo ce in the halo timeline, but halo ce was made in 2001, and halo wars was made in 2009. and halo ce was the first in the halo series.
@unprofessionalvids They say that they are not averse to it and that there is a massive demand for it, but due to the size of the world in that game and the level of graphical detail that it would require, not to mention voice acting and new soundtrack (the original was midi), it would take four years to do. That doesn't seem like a big deal considering it took, what, 5 years for Skyrim to come out, but they don't have the staff to do that while still trying to devote time to continue the series
Btw if it wasn't for this game ten years ago, many of the shooters you now love and know wouldn't even exist. Halo revolutionized video games. Enough said.

@TheHorrorStream Thats because its purely a graphics overlay. It still has the same animations from the original and the same gameplay. There have only been some tweaks in the cutscene animations.
@All2Infinite it has to do with relativity. If you move at relativistic speeds(>10% the speed of light), time slows, and you age slower than if you were not moving or moving at non-relativistic speeds.
This scene is even better after playing _Reach_.
EXACTLY
And even better after reading Fall of Reach
It finally answered our question about what Reach was. I remember playing this as a kid and wondering what Cortana meant by "Tracking us all the way from reach"
EpicTy dude, the fall of reach was a book that came out before halo ce. If you wanted to what reach was you easily could have.
EpicTy and if you don’t want to read it, there are comic and animated adaptations.
Remember... at this time Noble 6 is dying back on Reach. :'(
arealbabycthulhu so sad :'(
a crusty krab actually, he died over two weeks before this (PoA left Reach on August 30th and arrived at Halo on September 19th).
It takes a couple of weeks before the autumn can reach it's destination
a crusty krab 😢
Indeed. He’s already long dead during this.
First playing this game ever: Damn this is so cool
After playing Reach: I will avenge Noble Team. NO MERCY FOR THE COVENANT
As someone once said before dying and making a promise…. tell em to make it count.

Actually, all the Halo games were XBOX exclusives for their first year or so. Halo 1 and 2 were both ported to PC quite a while after their XBOX release.
The events of Halo CE (The Halo Incident) take place directly after the Fall of Reach... So yes, it technically is a sequel...
Nik Nelson CE is the original source material, so everything really revolves around that game, therefore Reach is a prequel.
And master chief isn't even present in it, which makes it dissapointing they chose to start there with MC collection on PC after all these years
The first 1:55 of this game gave us more story then the whole of halo infinite. This is what excellent writing looks like

They've improved the graphics since Reach !
Sorta, CE Anniversary definitely needed tweaks for atmosphere
This game in my eyes is a masterpiece
Is it just me or do their mouths not match the audio at all? Also, Johnson in this video does not look at all like Johnson in Halo 2 Anniversary!
Halo : CE Anniversary was made before Halo 2 Anniversary. Give them a break.
So? It's like they didn't even try... Or in H2A they could have made him look more like Johnson in this game. it shouldn't be that hard.
