Poll: Will You Be Buying Halo: Campaign Evolved on PS5?

I need to see more. See reviews. I love the original Halo, so if this is a good remake I will absolutely pick it up.

Depends a lot on the cost, but yeah the multiplayer should have definitely been included.

No. I mostly want it on Switch 2, otherwise I'll probably just stick to the original on Xbox.

I will try to convince my PlayStation-only friends to buy it and run through with me, though.

Not that fussed, I have the master collection on pc.might buy it once theres a deep sale , in a few years but not rushing out to buy. Have no interest in multiplayer, I dont really play multiplayer, a prefer to have different single player experiences, finished the latest digimon game, almost done with ghost of yotei and started vampire the masquerade 2, even though it pales in comparison to the of game, tbe world/characters are interesting. Also need to give swan song a real chance

Might have to day one this!

I’m choosing maybe only because I want to know if the game is actually ON the disc.

If it isn’t, then I’ll be happy with my MCC release on series X for the moment. If it is, then I’ll be there day one for PS!

I played it back in the day and have no interest in revisiting it.

If you told be during the ps3 days halo will come on ps5 a lot of people wouldn't believe it.but all Microsoft games on Playstation is going to be interesting. Word up son

If Microsoft would release this on a disc based format with the full game on it instead of a game key, I would likely buy it. It would be surreal to have this in my collection with a PlayStation 5 logo on the box. Sony really needs to step in and insist that any game releasing on Disc needs to have a full playable game that could 100% be done offline, It’s the bare minimum that we should have. The people that download this are either not fussed having discs all over the place or have a PS5 that doesn’t have a disc reader, but people that still wish to own games on disc shouldn’t be punished.

Halo is yesterday's news let's be honest. If this happened in the 2010's the internet would be on fire. As it is... meh... probably get it eventually...

Not getting it since not really my thing.

My purchase will depend on the asking price. If this is $40 or less, I'll definitely pick it up, but if they charge $50-$70 for what will be a largely familiar experience, it will be a "wait for a sale" kinda game.

I’ll be playing it on GamePass. But glad it’ll be available for PlayStation folks to enjoy for the first time.

I'll definitely will be there day one. Its surreal

Haha no thanks.

Absolutely there day 1. Love me some Halo!

I’ll be buying it 100%. Good or bad, which I don’t see it being bad, just to have this game on PlayStation alone is wild.

I already own Master Chief Collection on steam. And even if I didn't, I'm not interested in the remake at all, I'll wait for the actual new game.

I won't be buying it, but I may rent the game if it's getting a physical version.

UE5 so probably not... I would love for it to be a non-issue, but that's so rare with that game engine these days

Perhaps on a big sale, I own the Master Chief Collection, so unless they dramatically change the level design, I'm not that bothered about having a prettier version of just Halo 1.

I'm way more excited for Mouse: P.I. For Hire

No

I just want Killer Instinct and Banko Kazooie lol

Never was much of a fan of Halo. A friend of mine back in the day was crazy about Halo 2 back on Xbox but it never really grew on me. Didn’t buy any of the games on any Xbox Console and the series coming to PS still won’t change that.

It is crazy seeing Halo on a Playstation console, but I guess it's not much of a surprise with the way modern Microsoft is.

I don't even know what my next game is going to be yet. Don't be asking me about 2026

@awp69
Yep same here GPU for me.
But so glad all will get play and have ago if they wish.

The biggest drawbacks for me are the facts it's UE5 and that I'm not sure how long the campaign will be. For what I presume will be a $70 game I'd like to know. But UE5 is the biggest issue.

For the sheer novelty of it I'll be there day one. It sucks there won't be competitive multiplayer, but whatever.

Depends on the price. £70? No way. £45? Possibly

It won't be a day one purchase but I'll pick it up at some point.

‘Are you disappointed by Halo: Combat Evolved’s lack of multiplayer?’ should have a poll choice of ‘I prefer it didn’t and I’m happy it won’t’.

As for whether or not I’ll be buying it? As always, it all depends on the trophy list. Leaving repetitive multiplayer on the chopping block is a good start as it handily bypasses all those god awful achievements connected to the mode, but there’s still plenty of room to make bad anti-trophy hunter completionist decisions with just the campaign. If there’s any of that ‘do a LASO campaign run without getting hit once on a Tuesday when mercury is in retrograde and without jumping’ BS then count me out. I have better things to do with my time than squander it with a thousand checkpoint restarts just to fulfill poorly thought out criteria. Far too many other games of equal or greater quality deserve my time more than that.

But if the list is trophy hunter friendly? I’ll definitely be there.

Doubtful, the original is a masterpiece. The only downside imo is the warthog controls in the final act.

People need to know that when Halo Combat Evolved launched it had no online mode as Xbox Live was not “live” yet. So this is a pure remaster in my mind.

Bring me a new shadow complex and we’ll talk.

I never liked the multiplayer way back when I was a steady 2 console guy, so it don't bum me much. Never gears multiplayer either and they included it. But Gears on ps5 was worth the campaign to just enjoy the shot of Nostalgia

@AndyKazama If they ask $70 for a game this old (don't care its redone in UE5) that would be an abomination. But its xbox/ms, so it won't be shocking. Gears on ps5 was priced appropriately and it had multiplayer. So this needs to be a $40 game, $50 max.

If it came to plus I'd give it a shot but certainly not buying it. Played enough of the franchise and with no real nostalgia for it, I don't have plans to play more of it.

Probably played for.maybe 30 mins on xbox 360. Completely forgettable like most fps. Don't own any, but the kids can't get enough of em.

Depends. There’s so many other great games to play. I’ll be waiting on reviews and performance results.

It was the reason I bought an Xbox 24 years ago and I thought the game was excellent back then, I have no interest to revisit it though.

The hell I won't buy Halo on a Playstation! Staying with Xbox.

Meh! One more title destined for the "I’ll maybe get to it eventually" list. The remake conveyor belt keeps grinding, which feels like its own separate headache.

Should Halo ever show up with something truly new, that is the moment I jump in on day one.

I played it when it first came out. Great game at the time, and the remake looks good visually. If you haven't played it, it's a good time. If you just love the series, understandable. Otherwise, I don't understand the appeal or like the series in general. That said, I bet those playing it will love it. It was a groundbreaking FPS and deserves all the attention it gets regardless of my own feelings about it. Have fun!!!

If it has an outstanding Pro version, with only rare fps dips, then Yes, otherwise absolutely No.
I personally don't care about MP.

LAN multiplayer would have been an awesome throwback feature. I'll grab it when the price falls. The state of the physical release will determine how long I'm waiting. If it's like the rest of Microsoft's stuff, it'll be a couple years, and I'll grab it on sale when it hits the $15 range. If the game is complete on disc, I'd be fine paying $50ish.

I’l be getting it on Series X. FPS games on Sony’s controller hurts my left thumb and wrist. So Xbox Controller for me. Happy to see more players getting to play it tho. I wish the PS6 would go back to the PS4 controller size. But not sure they will with the added features in it. Sucks that the controller layout hurts my hands so much cause i otherwise enjoy my PS5.

Halo CE is my favorite halo campaign wise and even gameplay wise to an extent. I don’t care about anything 343/Halo Studios is doing because it’ll never be on the quality level of how Bungie handled this series 👎

I may get this game on a steep sale out of interest for Halo, but screw 343/Halo Studios

Video games and comics, Halo sold well. The tv show, terrible. Last tried it on Xbox 360, that long ago. Not worth it.

Short answer: No

Long answer: Nope

Just not my thing. Never understood the hype. And that’s just not me not liking the genre or the series. There are plenty of series I don’t like but I get the appeal. Halo isn’t one of them.

I'll stick with the original

I won't be buying it on PS but then I don't have to buy at all to play it Day 1 on Xbox or PC. The closest answer I could give though was no, I'm buying on another Platform (for me, should be No, I'm playing it on another Platform)

I'm not surprised that Microsoft are using one of their most Iconic and famous games from nearly 25yrs ago out on PS. I doubt that 'many' Xbox gamers would buy yet another Halo:CE game after all it had a 10yr Anniversary update release and was also part of Halo:MCC which is still playable today.

As for its MP, it was a 'token' effort in the first game as very few subscribed to 'Gold' for Online Social gaming when Consoles at most had only been 'couch co-op'. Halo 2's MP was what really took off and established Halo's MP and a reason to Subscribe to Gold - although by the 360 era, CoD was a massive 'Gold' seller and bigger than Halo for that.

I think MCC has a much better MP but I think that Infinite MP is the 'best' Halo MP and what's more, its also current with active players and F2P so I expect they'll bring a F2P Halo MP mode alongside the Campaign - much like they did with H:I.

Not having all the full games on the disc is a very easy NO for me.

I have played them anyway, so it is not like I am missing out.

I got the MCC on Steam for like £8 so I'm good thanks

The answer is No.

I rather put my money towards Terminator 2D, Marvel Cosmic Invasion, Onimusha, RE 9, Pragmata, or Phantom Blade 0. Heck, i'm not yet buy Ghost of Yotei, DS 2, NG 4, Space Marine 2, SH 2 remake and a lot of games in my wishlist. So many games, so little time and money.

I did finished Halo Combat Evolved on PC like eons ago and it's an okay game. I don't know why people so hype for it though. But hey good for them if they love the game.

I didn't care about it when it released originally, I still don't give a **** even in 2025. Unless it's Forza Horizon, I literally don't care about anything Microsoft does.

I won't buy it at full price due to the lack of multiplayer. I'll wait for a deep price cut.

Won't be buying at full price with no multiplayer.

This is the MS that is going to try to sell a $1,000 xbox next gen XD

I'm glad it's coming to PS5 and I hope to see more of this. But I played it on the original Xbox, and never really saw what the big deal was. I thought it was good although sci fi shooters aren't really my thing; however at the time remember all the bangers we had on the PS2? We had GTA3, MGS2, SH2, Ico, Gran Turismo 3, etc that same year. It just was no comparison to me and I ended up trading in my Xbox after about 1 year.

Zero interest in the game and series, so it'll be a pass from me thanks!

All depends if it has mouse and keyboard support. I can’t play first person shooters with a controller. I can’t for the life of me figure out why these things are never advertised since it’s such a nice way to play on console.

Battlefield 6 has m&k support but I was not able to find this information anywhere, luckily the beta answered my question!

Considering. Will see with price, extra 3 levels and padded areas changed from original game.

Fine with sprinting, looks good.

No dual wielding but understandable.

Split screen 2 player please.

More.games need to list mouse and keyboard, motion, touchpad, etc.

Already played most of the content so no. That being said, if it came on plus I might consider it for nostalgia reasons. My PS5 is the only gaming machine I have at the moment

I voted maybe, all depends if they throw in multiplayer at a later date which include trophies, if so it'll be a no from me!

Nah, been there, done that, read the books yada yada. It was a great game 24 years ago (minus that damn Library level!), but much like Gears of War it's showing its age now.
Also much like the Gears of War release should have been the Gears Trilogy, this release should have been an updated Master Chief Collection (Halo 2 and 3 are long overdue an upgrade, and Reach is an often overlooked gem).

I'm interested to see what the modern quality of life updates will be though, but other than streamlining the aforementioned Library level, I can't see them changing too much for fear of pissing off the fan base (just look at the backlash over the change in art style for the CE Anniversary Edition remaster!).

In fact, other than the novelty of playing Halo on a Playstation, I'm not really sure who the target audience for this release is (again, much like the second remastered release of Gears of War Reloaded)... Although that's never stopped Sony from knocking out remaster after remake ad nauseum, so perhaps it'll be perfectly at home on Playstation after all.

I’m excited and I’m comfortable paying full price: it’s a remake with fully revamped graphics, QOL improvements, new voice acting… it’s a new game and it sounds like it was rebuilt almost from the ground up. To me that equals a full price game.
The lack of multiplayer doesn’t bother me too much because I didn’t plan on playing it all that much anyway even though I played the crap out of it back in the day with friends. For as much as I would love to do it again I know I just won’t have the time to do it. Maybe the eventual second one will have it included, which was basically the first one’s but vastly improved.

Halo never interested me and still doesn’t

Nope. Not buying anything that Microsoft or any entity it has engulfed publishes.

@HonestHick the Xbox controller layout is horrendous mate. My hand are symmetrical so the controller should be also

Played the original on release. Some bits are majestic set-piece genius; others are tedious, repetitive trudge-fests. Never could get past the sodding Flood.

Physical release with full game on disc, yes. Anything else, no.

I always thought the series were extremely overrated, so IDGF.

The first one was sort of a lightning in a bottle situation but nothing after that lived up to the hype people seemed to have for it.

For me it always looked like a typical Stockholm syndrome, some people simply didn't know anything else so it was the best thing in the world for them, meanwhile aside from the music and the AI it was agressively mediocre, slow, boring and the multiplayer was nothing great either.

As long as it's all on the disc then yes I will be there

Maybe - always been curious about the first one and played a bit of co-op on my buddy's Xbox back in the day, but I'd probably wait for a sale.

Once it at a good price. It’s a very old game that’s had the multiplayer removed. Maybe if it hits £15 I think. Really should have come in a collection though if they expect anyone to pay close to full price.

Depends on the price. I've always wanted halo on playstation but no MP kind sucks.

@GamingGod i prefer the Xbox and Switch pro controller layout much more. On Ps4 i didn’t mind the PS4 controller, the size was just right and coming from the trash of a PS3 controller it felt much better. PS5 controller is a little to big so i think it stretches my left thumb just a bit to far. It’s a thing cause there is a lot of people wanting the next controller to shrink in size a little bit. I own all 3 consoles and play my PS5 the least and it’s really only cause of the controller. Which stinks cause that is always been my issue with PS, the controller. Never found them to be very comfortable. So i only use it for their exclusive games only.i think i have beaten Racthet and Clank 4 times now HAHA

I'd potentially be interested but need to see how it runs first and the asking price needs to be reasonable. I have played the first game several times though so this will have to really stand out.

Depends on the price. As a single player game you could blow through it now in about 4 hours.

This is awesome but for me personally I don't need to play halo again...gears 2 and 3 though I'm there maybe in the new fable

I don’t care because i was never interested in hero-shooters. There are allready too much ‘Halo’ like games. But i can imagine that some PS fans can now play Halo.

Nope. I love Halo - I bought an Xbox on launch night to play it & lost goodness how many hours playing it coop. This looks brilliant BUT I won't be buying it?
Why?

"Microsoft partners with the apartheid regime of Israel and its prison system. It provides the Israeli military with Azure cloud and AI services that are central to accelerating Israel’s genocide of 2.3 million Palestinians in the illegally occupied Gaza Strip".

So for me, I'm boycotting MS and yep, this includes Halo

Nah — i gave the remastered version a fair go on the 360 when I was dabbling with Xbox, but it didn't do an awful lot for me.

I don't see it as inevitable given xboxs situation. I see it as xbox realizing how much more profit is in multiplatform. Sony seems to be realizing this too with every franchise now on pc and testing the waters on switch and xbox.

So yes, it was inevitable given not the Xbox situation per se but with the trajectory they're intentionally taking, but it still feels weird as HECK to have the Xbox flagship series on Playstation. I have the OG Halo on PC, Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One/Series (MCC); and soon I'll add PS5 to that list. Gotta finish the fight, yo.

I will play it some day on a deep discount as a nostalgia fest, but I am not buying it day one. I never even owned an XBOX, but enough good times were had in the multiplayer playing at my friend's house that it still gives me a little bit of the feels.

I will buy it to collect it. I think it's an historic physical purchase.

Definitely buying it on my PS5 Pro because it's the most powerful game console right now. Funny how a Playstation will be the best way to play a Halo game. Microsoft really screwed up Xbox.

I suspect they’re keeping multiplayer for either infinite on PS5 or whatever new game is coming afterwards.
I always fall off the halo campaigns. It’s all about the multiplayer for me, so I’d be passing on this even if I didn’t already have MCC.
I am looking forward to the possibility of Halo multiplayer on PS someday though.

70$ story only incredibly linear. If it’s about one to one with the original game, we’re looking about nine hour story. All that said not much replayability. Because of the lack of expected content. I think I’m good. Usually, I play the campaign and then I jump over to multiplayer, but I don’t really wanna just play the campaign only. That’s not what I personally expect from a halo game.

@HonestHick tbf rift apart is excellent I’ve platinumed it twice 👌

Buy a worse looking version of a campaign I already own and have played countless times? Not likely, but I'd pay full price for the Master Chief Collection if that came to PS5

@Andee Tbf, the remastered version was worse in just about every way than the original

@GamingGod i love that game, really wish we would get one more ratchet game before PS6. But not sure. But i will buy a PS6 just to play the next one cause it will look insane.
