HALO: COMBAT EVOLVED

> How to play Halo: Combat Evolved online in 2026

Halo: Combat Evolved, released by Bungie on Xbox in 2001 and ported to PC by Gearbox in 2003, was the FPS that defined console shooters and crossed over to PC as one of the first games with vehicles truly baked into the gameplay. Bungie's own engine, Master Chief and Cortana as an iconic duo, weapons and vehicles (Warthog, Ghost, Scorpion, Banshee, Rocket Launcher, Plasma Pistol) that handled exactly the way you dreamed, and multiplayer maps that still have their own communities: Blood Gulch, Sidewinder, Hang 'Em High, Wizard, Chill Out, Derelict.

Old Servers runs a free, dedicated Halo: Combat Evolved PC server, 24/7, on the classic version. Multiplayer with Slayer (TDM), Capture the Flag, Oddball, King of the Hill and Race. Connect directly by IP or with the Launcher available from our Discord. Perfect for dropping into Blood Gulch with a Warthog or spamming rockets on Hang 'Em High. No Xbox Live Gold, no subscriptions, no microtransactions — Halo the way it was in 2003 and the way it should always be.
