Abnormal Mapping 104: Halo: Combat Evolved

We return to the halcyon days of PC gaming to explore the origins
of an independent game that shook the foundations of the world.
That’s right, we’re dropping into a world of dual stick movement,
space marines, only two weapons and regenerating shields as we
explore the strange powerhouse that is HALO. What does the game
that changed everything have to offer in 2020?


Well, that depends on what you’re looking for. As we dig in, we
wonder what exactly any of this could mean, and whether we’ll
ever actually get any lore to this adventure across a derelict
space station. Who can say?
