Gameplay
Halo: Campaign Evolved is a shooter game with most gameplay experienced from a first-person perspective. A remake of Halo: Combat Evolved's (2001) campaign, Campaign Evolved features redesigned missions with alterations to the level design and structure, along with new movement options and mechanics that reflect subsequent gameplay updates made in Combat Evolved's various sequels. This includes the ability to sprint, which is enabled by default but can be toggled in-game for a more faithful experience. As with Halo 2 (2004) onwards, the Chief is now able to hijack vehicles piloted by the Covenant, which are additionally destructible in real-time. Among the drivable vehicles, the "Warthog" has also been partially redesigned to include a fourth seat on the rear bumper, allowing a full four-man fireteam to be active at once while driving both offline and in multiplayer. The enemy variety has also been updated to acknowledge later additions to Halo canon, such as the appearance of the Jiralhanae "Brutes" and the Flood comprising their 'pure' forms first introduced in Halo 3 (2007). Campaign Evolved adds a further nine weapons beyond the full selection available from the original Combat Evolved, including the Covenant energy sword, Sub-Machine Gun, Battle Rifle, Fuel Rod Cannon, Sentinel Beam, Beam Rifle, Brute Plasma Rifle and Brute Spiker from Halo 2 and Halo 3, as well as the Needle Rifle from Reach.

Examples of Skulls new to Campaign Evolved include the 'Perspective' modifier, which enables the game to be played in third-person, and 'The Floor is Lava', which forces the player to take damage every time they contact the ground during a mission. 42 total Skulls are available to obtain across the game, with 26 of them returning from prior Halo titles.
