Halo: Combat Evolved gives you a brand-new arsenal of strategies, vehicles, complex characters, and cunning adversaries. You'll find yourself enmeshed in new challenges and surprises, as well as intense online multiplayer competition exclusively for the PC. Enjoy a science fiction universe fresh out of a Hollywood movie, with a detailed, twisting storyline, complex characters and cunning enemies. Storm an enemy base or take the wheel or gunnery position in a variety of powerful vehicles. Take the battle online with gamers from all over the world in a variety of individual and team based games. Crush enemies with weaponry ranging from the stealthy semiautomatic pistols and Needler to the fierce Rocket Launcher and Fuel Rod Gun. Attack outposts, raid underground labs for advanced technology, rescue fallen comrades, steal alien vehicles and weaponry, and snipe at enemy forces.
Pros: It's basically a first person shooter version of X-Com UFO Defense. Except instead of like X-Com Apocalyse, it's done right. I'm now playing it on Legendary (the hardest mode) and it can take a lot of tries to finish each level. But its worth it. It gives you a lot of gameplay. If you get stuck there are great walkthroughs on Youtube by ForumsExtremeDotCom.
Cons: Newegg is shipping it in a soft container which means the game box gets squashed and crinkled during shipment. Please change this Newegg. No sense in irritating loyal customers.
