While the single player mode offers some unique and interesting storyline to players, it is the game's [[multiplayer]] mode is what really powers the steam-engine behind the hype of Halo. The Windows and Mac versions of the game features six new multiplayer maps, and new weapons and vehicles to the multiplayer mode, some of which were previously available only in certain parts of the single player missions.

Halo has been released in several iterations on the Xbox, and later came full circle when it was brought back to Windows and Mac by [[Gearbox Software]]. Gearbox later released '''[[Halo:_Combat_Evolved/Custom_Edition|Halo Custom Edition]]''', a multiplayer-only and modding-friendly build of the game; while free to download it requires a Halo CD key to install, unlike similar re-implementations such as [[Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory]]. Most of the more complex mods such as [[Halo 2]] PC are made using Halo Custom Edition rather than the original port. On December 4, 2007 the Xbox version was released for the [[Xbox 360]] via the [[Xbox Originals]] download service.
