The first game of the ''Halo'' franchise, it was released on November 15, 2001, as a launch title for the Xbox gaming system,〔 and is considered the platform's "killer app".〔 More than five million copies were sold worldwide by November 2005.〔 Microsoft released versions of the game for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X in 2003, and the surrounding storyline was adapted and elaborated into a series of novels, comic books, and live-action web series. The game was later released as a downloadable Xbox Original for the Xbox 360. A high-definition remake, ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'', was released for Xbox 360 on the 10th anniversary of the original game's launch, and was rereleased as part of ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' on November 11, 2014, for the Xbox One.〔 ''Halo'' is set in the twenty-sixth century, with the player assuming the role of the Master Chief, a cybernetically enhanced supersoldier. The player is accompanied by Cortana, an artificial intelligence who occupies the Master Chief's neural interface. Players battle various aliens as they attempt to uncover the secrets of the eponymous Halo, a ring-shaped artificial world. The game has been commended for elements such as its story, the variety of strategies players can employ, and its multiplayer mode;〔〔〔 however, the repetitive nature of its level design was criticized by some reviewers.〔〔 ''Halo'' has been praised as one of the best and most important video games of all time,〔〔 and was ranked by IGN as the fourth-best first-person shooter ever made.〔 The game's popularity has led to labels such as "''Halo'' clone" and "''Halo'' killer", applied respectively to games either similar to or anticipated to be better than it.〔〔〔 In addition, the game inspired and was used in the fan-created ''Red vs. Blue'' video series, which is credited as the "first big success" of machinima (the technique of using real-time 3D engines, often from video games, to create animated films).〔 == Gameplay == As a first-person shooter, the gameplay of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' is fundamentally similar to that of its peers, focusing on combat in a 3D environment that is viewed almost entirely from a character's eye view. The player can move around and look up, down, left, or right.〔 The game features vehicles, ranging from armored jeeps and tanks to alien hovercraft and aircraft, many of which can be controlled by the player. The game switches to a third-person perspective during vehicle use for pilots and mounted gun operators; passengers maintain a first-person view.〔 The game's heads-up display includes a "motion tracker" that registers moving allies, moving or firing enemies, and vehicles, in a certain radius of the player.〔 The player character is equipped with an energy shield which nullifies damage from weapons fire and forceful impacts. The shield's charge appears as a blue bar in the corner of the game's heads-up display, and it automatically recharges if no damage is sustained for a brief period.〔 When the shield is fully depleted, the player is highly vulnerable, and further damage reduces the hit points of a secondary health meter.〔 When this health meter reaches zero, the character dies and the game reloads from a saved checkpoint. Health can be replenished through the collection of health packs scattered around the game's levels,〔 but the game's introduction of a regenerating shield mechanic represented a departure from FPS games of the time. ''Halo'' ''Halo'' departs from traditional FPS conventions by not forcing the player character to holster its firearm before deploying grenades or melee-range blunt instruments; instead, both attacks can be utilized while a gun is still equipped, supplanting or supplementing small-arms fire.〔 All weapons may be used to bludgeon enemies,〔 which allows Master Chief to silently kill opponents without alerting other nearby enemies.〔 The Chief can also carry up to eight grenades at a time: up to four fragmentation and four plasma grenades each.〔 Like the game's other weapons, the two types of grenades differ; the fragmentation grenade bounces and detonates quickly,〔 whereas the plasma grenade adheres to targets before exploding, sometimes with blackly comic results.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Halo: Combat Evolved」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
