Because it is evolved combat, ie. the Spartan II project.

Because all games developed in that period had to have sub-titles by law, apparently.

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

Halo: Combat evolved
Halo 2
Halo 3

What doesn´t match? Maybe its because saying "Halo" is short, unclear word when "Halo...Combat Evolved" sounds efficent and new. There were no pressures with Halo2 so just name Halo2 worked better than Halo2:Strategy evolved or Halo2:Combat evolved again or Halo2:Xbox live enabled or Halo2:Arbiter interference or Halo2:Letdown fuzz...

Halo is dull without Combat Evolved after it.

If it was just called Halo we would be thinking about Angels right? Add Combat Evolved and voila!

I Think when they made halo 1 that they weren't expecting a second one.
