Halo: Combat Evolved is a 2001 military science fiction 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] More than five million copies were sold
worldwide by November 2005.[8] Microsoft released versions of the game for Microsoft Windows
and Mac OS X in 2003, and the surrounding storyline was adapted and elaborated into a series of
novels, comic books, and live-action web series. The game was later released as a downloadable
Xbox Original for the Xbox 360. A high-definition remake, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary,
was released for Xbox 360 on the 10th anniversary of the original game's launch, and was
rereleased as part of Halo: The Master Chief Collection on November 11, 2014, for the Xbox
One.[9]
Halo is set in the twenty-sixth century, with the player assuming the role of the Master Chief, a
cybernetically enhanced supersoldier. 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 commended for elements such as its story, the variety of strategies players can
employ, and its multiplayer mode;[10][11][12] however, the repetitive nature of its level design was
criticized by some reviewers.[10][13]
Halo has been praised as one of the greatest video games of all time,[14][15] and was ranked by IGN
as the fourth-best first-person shooter ever made.[16] The game's popularity has led to labels such
as "Halo clone" and "Halo killer", applied respectively to games either similar to or anticipated
to be better than it.[17][18][19] 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 (the technique of
using real-time 3D engines, often from video games, to create animated films).[20]
