Only the [[The Silent Cartographer|Silent Cartographer]] mission can be played in the ''Halo'' trial. The level features similar environment, weapons and enemies but players would not be able to save the level, as doing so would restart the level.


The player can log on to Gamespy (No account needed) and his profile will say the level he is up to in the [[The Silent Cartographer (Level)]], and it also has all the normal settings information, such as audio settings and Video settings

[[Blood Gulch]] is the only map featured in the game with the capability of hosting up to sixteen players per game. In contrast to ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', ''Halo'' trial's version retains similar weapons and vehicles but features low graphics settings, as players are encouraged to buy the full version. There are only two gametypes: [[Capture the Flag|CTF Classic]] (First to 3 Flag Captures) and [[Slayer|Free-For-All Slayer]] (First to 25 Kills). However, you can still play different game types by choosing your filters and joining an existing game.
