“One of the best and more rich FPS that I've played, after Doom 3 and the Half Life saga.”
“Love Halo, but Halo CE is my favorite. It plays so much better than the sequals. i was never a huge fan of Halo 2, 3, ODST, and Reach but with mods I can customize every game to my personal preference and make them play…”

“For reasons that are completely unclear, other than that Microsoft just simply wants to harvest more data from you, the game requires a Microsoft account for both single-player and multiplayer. I created one solely to…”

“If you buy this game and only play the multiplayer, you are a bad person and should be ashamed of yourself.”
— a player, Steam review · 77 hrs played“Beyond the old graphics style, the games are quite good actually! Reach is probably the best but I'm playing through the entire series and its amazing! For some reason I thought these games took so much longer to finish but with a crew its really fast. Definitely fun! And for…”
— a player, Steam review · 14 hrs played“The GOAT of all games when you do the math. Add up all the 10/10 games + mods x mixing up the multiplayer + remasters of CE / Halo 2 + using unified control sets to make them all feel like 1 game = GOAT. This is a game I don't mind having bought more than once. It is worth every…”
