Original HALO Game, used in a gaming center that closed.
Comes with original CD / Key. Key works fine and this game
actually worked for me on Vista (Business Edition).
From Moby-Games Site:
Halo: Combat Evolved is a first-person shooter with
considerable driving elements and the first game in the popular
Halo series.
Humanity is the midst of a long war against an alien alliance
called the Covenant who have been wiping out colony after colony.
You hero is Master Chief, who is given no name beyond his rank in
the game itself. He is stationed on the Pillar of Autumn, a ship
which, per protocol make a jump in a random direction to retreat to
avoid revealing the location of Earth. They find themselves at the
titular Halo, a planet-sized ring of mysterious origin and function
with the Covenant on their heels. Master Chief must repel the
Covenant assault and discover the secrets of Halo with the
assistance of the female AI Cortana who lives in his suit and gives
missions.
Features include friendly NPCs who fight alongside the Chief,
squad-based AI where enemies groups work together to flank you
under the direction of a leader unit and can be demoralized by his
death. They also use cover, set ambushes, etc.
Only two weapons may be carried at a time: one active and one
on back-up. There are five human weapons and three Covenant with
distinct art styles for the two groups. Human weapons look
basically like real guns and fire projectiles. Covenant are sleek
and purple and fire energy. For the most part, weapons are not just
left around the environment and must be procured from fallen
enemies though there are supply points.
Your life is armor and health as in most games of the genre,
however, rather than armor being an item than is picked up, it is a
force field which quickly recharges itself after several seconds
without taking damage, which emphasizes finding cover.
One of most significant features is vehicles. You can drive a
variety of vehicles in both single player and multiplayer, some of
which have additional seats for passengers or gunners which can be
used by AI characters. Vehicles also come in distinct human and
Covenant varieties with their design philosophies. Human vehicles
roll around the ground on wheels and covenant vehicles hover or
fly.
Halo also has a significant multiplayer component with
basic deathmatch (called slayer here), capture the flag with the
unusual addition that the flag takes your weapon spot while you are
holding it, so shooting your way in and out of the base on your own
is not an option, territories, and some options unique tot he game,
such as oddball, where you must hold onto a skull for the longest
time, race where you score points by getting to checkpoints and
juggernaut, where one super-powered player must get points by
killing the others and the other players try to kill him to steal
his powers. There is also a game editor which allows you to set
custom rules for all the basic game types. All the playable weapons
and vehicles from the campaign mode are available in the
multiplayer maps with the ability for members of the same team to
share the game's distinctive Warthog vehicle, which is essentially
a small truck with a mounted gun on the back.
