Halo Zero is a fan made 2D PC game, made with the help of neither Microsoft nor Bungie, very loosely based on the Battle of Reach before Halo: Combat Evolved takes place. The current game version is 1.8.6.3. On May 31, 2009, the official site and therefor server of Halo Zero was deactivated due to a lack of money to continue to keep the site running. [1]

Game play
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 Vice Admiral Whitcomb and later teaming up with Staff 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 and the Fuel Rod Cannon. Campaign mode has five difficulty settings, Easy, Normal, Heroic, Legendary, and Mythic. However mythic difficulty must be unlocked by finishing the game in all other difficulties.
The keyboard arrow keys are used for movement, and the mouse acts as a free look, 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 unchangeable.
Multiplayer maps are based off of existing Halo Multiplayer maps such as Zanzibar and Blood Gulch.
Notably, the game play has many bugs, and the game has many misleading concepts, such as the fact that the game doesn't shoot where the cursor is, but where the Master Chief is aiming at, and that head shots don't do more damage. Many problems in collision detection occur, such as Jackals being hard to hit due to their shield absorbing the first hit they take (unless hit by a rocket) making a melee attack the most efficient way to take them out. Other problems notably exist.
