Gameplay

The game has a Campaign mode and Multiplayer mode. Campaign mode chronicles Master Chief on Reach, as the Covenant lay siege to it. A few key objectives are rescuing Admiral Whitcomb and later teaming up with Sergeant Johnson, who will later help you in the levels. Warthogs are drivable and all weapons found in Halo: Combat Evolved can be used except for turrets & fuel Rod Cannon. Campaign mode has 4 difficulty settings (Easy, Normal, Heroic, and Legendary).

The keyboard arrow keys are used for movement, and the mouse acts as a freelook, while the left mouse button and the right mouse button shoot and throw grenades, respectively. All other functions such as Melee, Switch Weapon and Jump are subject to be changed by the user. But the mouse's controls are "set in stone", so to speak, and cannot be changed.

Multiplayer maps are based off of existing Halo Multiplayer maps such as Zanzibar and Blood Gulch.
