MMGN.com: Halo: Combat Evolved blasted onto the scene in early 2002 (late 2001 in North America), setting a benchmark for console shooters and competitive gaming. While this remake of a decade-old classic offers a fascinating look at the evolution of graphics over the past decade, Anniversary presents a rather aged first-person shooter. While its added multiplayer maps are certainly a bonus, this remake is nothing more than a visual treat for diehard fans of the original. That said, Anniversary's ode to a genre-defining classic propels it past many other HD remakes, and co-developer Saber Interactive has added a shot of life to a surprisingly dry and dire 2001 world. Halo: Combat Evolved is still a FPS masterpiece no matter how old it is, but it certainly falters when compared to contemporary refinements in the genre.

Halo: Combat Evolved has finally released on PC. Let's see how it runs and what PC gamers will need to run the game at 4K 60FPS.

After seeing that, I'm very very, impressed.
But as a playstation fan.
I'm not at all worried... Ps5 will match that with killzone, or any guerilla game, easily..
So just because you are a fan of playstation that mean you don't enjoy or play any games on other platform.
How are you impressed with this? Good thing is, its pretty old and runs quite well even on low specs GPUs. But its a last gen game. Got the whole collection and hopefully the later games will pick up the pace a little.
deserving score, pretty fun game
Is the gameplay really that dated? I dont see how it could be. Its no different from shooters coming out now.
Halo CE is my favourite in the whole series, I think hes being a bit harsh, but he has a point about the copy and paste level design, that was always the biggest drawback. Too many levels like The Library and not enough like The Silent Cartographer.
"nothing more than a visual treat for diehard fans of the original"
That is such BULL! The story if you have never played is better than most games out there. There has to be millions that have not played the original halo and this is a great time to see where it all started.
The gameplay is still awesome and the music and everything just makes for a great game
This is a great game and it remastered in hd makes it even better
