This game’s story took place about two decades prior to the original Halo, covering some of the first encounters humanity had with the Covenant.
#HALO 1 RELEASE DATE WINDOWS#
Originally released on the Xbox 360, it later saw release for both the Xbox One and Microsoft Windows as the Halo Wars: Definitive Edition. This game changed genres, as it was not a first-person shooter, but instead a real-time strategy game, or RTS. In February of 2009, the franchise took a new direction with one installment with the release of Halo Wars. Like Halo 2, it went on to be the highest-grossing game of the Xbox 360 console. Halo 3 earned $170 million on day one, and almost double that in one week. The single-player mode did conclude the trilogy arc of its predecessors, and smashed sales records that Halo 2 set. The story campaign of this game was usually finished much faster by players than Halo 1 or 2, but the big selling point of this one was an emphasis on multiplayer, which had new maps rolled out for some time after the initial game release. In September of 2007, Halo 3 came out, followed later by Xbox One and Windows releases as part of the Master Chief Collection. Given the success of the Halo franchise, Microsoft relied heavily on Halo 3 to get consumers to buy its second console, the Xbox 360.
The inclusion of that MP in the Master Chief Collection was celebrated for bringing back the Halo 2 MP maps once more. Many fans enjoyed the multiplayer side of the game, continuing to play this one over later installments as long as the servers were up. The story and events of this game take place after the first one, and broke sales records at the time.Įarning $125 million on just its first day, it went on to be the highest-grossing video game for the entire original Xbox line. The sequel and second game in this franchise came out in November of 2004 for the original Xbox console, with later releases for Microsoft Windows and even the Xbox One, as part of the Master Chief Collection. Man fans were drawn to the split-screen mode where two players could sit side-by-side and play with each other in front of the same television. It was even honored with a remastered graphics re-release a decade later with an ‘Anniversary’ edition. The content and caliber of the game were astounding enough to players that it set the standard for FPS games for years to come. This game substantially grew Xbox console sales, giving Microsoft a badly needed boost as they tried to compete with existing video game console makers.
