Halo: Campaign Evolved remakes the campaign of Halo: Combat Evolved. Players take the role of Master Chief, helping human survivors after a crash landing on the ringworld Halo while working with the AI Cortana.
The first-person shooter campaign centers on battling Covenant forces with firearms, grenades, and vehicles. Players can choose weapons to suit different encounters, hijack enemy vehicles, and pilot a drivable Wraith tank.
Play the campaign solo or in online co-op for up to four players, with crossplay and cross-progression. The remake also adds three missions featuring Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson, additional weapons, and optional Skull modifiers that change mission conditions.
Among the supplied reviews, players who enjoyed the game often praise its detailed new visuals, familiar shooter combat, and selected level changes, especially the revised Library mission. Some also like the added weapons and co-op campaign. These positives are frequently accompanied by criticism of the dialogue and voice direction, enemy AI, technical performance, and the amount of guidance shown during play.
