This game taught me to love programming. I remember playing all of the strange custom maps on the server browser and being blown away. All of the fan made guns, aircraft. Inventive maps, some were for roleplay. And then others like yoyorast island were these really inventive maps at pushing the design and scenario of the multiplayer. IT inspired me to learn the tools and write my own maps and guns. And now I write C and C++ code for a living. And I can only thank the millions of creative people on Halo CE Maps back in the day for showing that anyone can pick up and IDE and make something that will stick with others for life.
It's 2003, only a few days before Christmas and our family goes to Walmart to go grocery shopping and to check for Christmas deals. My sister and I already know where to go off to (electronics/videogames department) and we see all the cool games that are on display. There's a few older kids/teenagers playing on the consoles next to the Gameboy Advance section, and my sister and I watch them play. I hear my mom comment saying that the Xbox was on sale for only $100 and it comes with a free game (Forza Motorsport). My Dad just looks around and talks to my Mom as we just look at the other kids play. We've already gotten the groceries for the Christmas Party and are about to head home, and it's just me and my Mom pushing the cart towards the checkout line. My Dad and sister are missing, and I didn't think much of it because my Mom was talking to me about "Next time, we will buy it..." But just a few minutes later, I see my Dad carrying a big box and then my sister carrying two DVD cases.
From that day on, my excitement was through the roof. My sister showed me what was in her hands and it was two games: 'Halo: Combat Evolved' and 'The Sims: Urbz'. My interest was focused on the "Xbox Only" and "Microsoft Xbox's Killer App" game. I knew nothing about the game, but I did know there was GUNS in it hahaha.
My Mom gift wrapped the console and games, putting it under the tree. It was only just Christmas Eve and I was sneaking under the tree, ogling at the Xbox present/packages. Not even 30 minutes until midnight, me and my sister snuck into the living room to pull the Xbox Present and Games, still wrapped up (but of course, we already knew) and sneakily started tearing away at the wrapping. We both decided to sneak them into our room, Christmas Day, at around 6AM in the morning and unwrapped the presents fully; Set the Xbox up all by ourselves and play 'Halo: Combat Evolved' for the first time. I was hooked playing the very first mission. I'll always remember this game..
I would love to see this version of Halo: Combat Evolved officially re-released and especially on gog, while I love the Halo Master Chief Collection, every now and then I play the original Halo: Combat Evolved on pc because of playing custom maps online with others, and it's still a blast to play twenty years later. This game would benefit being on gog like having cloud save support.
When I first played Halo Combat Evolved it was the best fps I ever played and when the flood came into the game it was astonishing.
The first real great fps ever.
What can I say about this game that is less than 2000 characters? Halo: Combat Evolved, which I played on Xbox, is my favorite video game of all time. It is unquestionable.
I did not own the original PC version until recently. But there is something magical about the thought of buying an optimized copy from GOG. I will try and explain what I remember fondly about others I knew and watching them with the PC version and what I have gotten from this game in very recent years. About 20 years ago, I first heard this game was coming to PC and MAC and I was very excited for others to play it. I wondered what it was going to get over the Xbox version. It turns out, plenty! A flamethrower, a fuel rod gun, the rocket warthog!! I remember watching a friend of mine messing around on the Fissure Falls map and showing me pictures of Timberland. We didn't get these maps on Xbox!
I remember another friend of mine and seeing his copy on his desk. I was jealous. The first friend I referred to, he was one of my best friends and a very talented artist. Somehow, he had managed to network with some other friends who watched the Halo 2 Zanzibar trailers over and over. So much so, that he did the 3D modeling for them, and that team came to release Zanzibar for Halo PC, before Halo 2 even came out!! So impressed was Bungie, that they interviewed him and his friends that was shared on Bungie.net. He got to network with Claude Errera of Halo.Bungie.org. He got him and a few other Bungie employees on his friends list. I felt like I had a line with someone with a line to Bungie. Bungie royalty. All with work on Halo PC. If more people get Halo for PC today, they will get to install the SPV3 mod, which is an incredible experience. People can bring their computers together to LAN fest on the original version of Halo. The Music by the incredible and legendary Martin O'Donnell, has meant the world to me. The memories of this game are limitless for me. Please Microsoft...
Para mim este esta em um dos jogos da minha vida, além de jogo até hoje desde o seu lançamento no xbox e quando eu soube que ele tinha para pc não pude parar de jogá-lo, tenho diversas memórias ótima e conheço tudo dele, se tornou além de um ótimo jogo uma ótima história, uma jogatina que nunca irei esquecer, ai até hoje quero ter essa exata mesma versão para comprar, mais não tem para vender só de pensar quantas vezes joguei e horas que me divertir já me sinto alegre por esses bons tempos.
I don't know why they need the Gearbox port, since the MCC version already exist and the Disc release still playable with the final official patch and the unofficial patch on the PCGamingWiki, but...okay.
Not complaining, just...curious.
Tenho xbox mas queria que a galera jogasse ele no pc, sei que antigamente tinha uma versão de pc deste game, o primeiro halo é um jogo realmente impressionante para a época, não cheguei a jogar muito o multiplayer porque no meu país não era muito famoso nas lan houses ou locadoras mas já joguei o modo história, realmente muito bom e halo faz parte dos jogos lendários, libera a gog de preservar essa lenda ai microsoft!

Wolfenstein RPGWolfenstein RPG is a first-person shooter and role-playing video game developed by id Software and Fountainhead Entertainment, released in September 2008 for mobile phones and in May 2009 for iOS. In 2013 the game was removed from App Store.
The gameplay follows the recipe from Doom RPG as it is shown in the first person while being a turn-based role-playing game rather than a shooter and puts emphasis on the plot. Combat and movement are turn-based, allowing the player time to select their responses in combat. The player turns at 90 degree angles and moves space by space. One step or action by the player allows all other characters in the area to take one step or action themselves. The game takes advantage of its deliberately slow pace, encouraging players to take their time and check out every little corner, read the books on every bookshelf, and destroy all the furniture to see if anything is hidden within. Levels include underground passages and weapon development laboratories plus a level involving a moving vehicle.
The game also includes two mini games: the card game War as well as Chicken Kicking, where the player is awarded points for kicking a chicken into a score area.Action Historical
