Halo: Combat Evolved for PC, often nicknamed simply Halo PC, was a PC port of Halo: Combat Evolved built for home computers. It was released on September 30 and December 14, 2003 by Gearbox Software and Westlake Interactive respectively. A demo was also released before the PC version. The game demos and videos that were included in the Xbox version were removed from the PC version. Halo: Combat Evolved is a sci-fi shooter and the game that started the Halo franchise. The game was first launched on November 15, 2001 for Xbox, and later on, in 2003, for Mac. Unfortunately, the binaries are compatible only with PowerPC Macs, and as a result, you will be able to play Halo only on OS X builds featuring the Rosetta dynamic. I'm running Halo Combat Evolved with the 2.0.2 patch applied on a Mac Mini Core Solo 1.5 GHz with 1 GB of RAM and OS X 10.4.9. Halo runs quite well on this Mac, better than I expected. For the busiest scenes, I've had to turn off all of the graphics fanciness, but I don't really miss the effects since the game is quite involving. Berkeley Electronic Press Selected Works. Halo was originally for the Mac, until Microsoft's acquisition of Bungie, which prompted the Xbox, and later, PC version. The game was intended for use on PowerPC Macs, and will crash if used on a newer Intel Mac. Bungie and MacSoft have since released a patch allowing for universal use of the game.

Halo Combat Evolved For Mac
Game Review
Halo: Combat Evolved is a sci-fi first-person shooter created by Bungie Studios for Microsoft and released for the Xbox in 2001, then ported to Windows and Macintosh by GearBox in 2003.
We usually publish games that are at least 20 years old, but this time we made an exception. After so many requests, since the game is currently not available on GOG or Steam, we decided to make this gift for all the fans of GamesNostalgia. You can now play Halo, one of the best games ever created, the game made the Xbox a success.
The Windows version includes Patch 1.0.10; it supports modern video cards and all kind of screen resolutions. It works on Windows 7/10, and GameSpy support is removed (since it's not active anymore). Just run the setup and install the game. That's it.
But Mac owners will be happy too. The Mac version does not use emulators; it's the universal binary, perfectly working on Mac OSX Mojave. We also added the patch to update the game to version 2.0.4. Install the game, then install the patch and enter the serial. Alternatively, if the Universal Binary doesn't work for you, you can try HaloMD. It will allows to play Halo on your Mac in multiplayer mode, and install mods.
Time to become Master Chief and defeat the Covenants!
Note for Catalina users: MacOS Catalina removed support for 32bit apps. so Halo, like many other old games, won't work (nor the Universal or the HaloMD).
