Is there any Box Acronym for Halo? Maybe on the OST? PC Halo?

And what is Halo CE/HEK? Is it, simply put, PC Halo?

I'm pretty sure the acronym for Halo: Combat Evolved on the Xbox would be "Halo: CE". But now with the release of Halo: Custom Edition people would get confused.

and HEK is the Halo Editing Kit for the PC version which allows players to customize Halo
ie. New Multiplayer levels, alter vehicles, etc.

-S

The OST has an acronym, the HaloPC box does not. As I recall, they simply forgot to add one during the last rush to get everything ready for the game's release. =)

Actually, Shish. The Halo PC box acronym is ILWNL.

Oddly, my HaloPC has the Combat Evolved tag on it, only on the cover though not on the spine. Think I'll stick to calling Halo Combat Evolved, Halo...and calling Halo Custom Edition, HaloCE...makes it easier :P

Um, D von is right... have a look at the back panel of the HaloPC box, down at the bottom (where the Forerunner deck texture is in the background) midway between the part number and the bold-face www.bungie.net. It's under the seal for the box bottom, but (on mine, anyway) that sticker is transparent.

-- Steve was surprised as heck to find it... and hasn't the faintest idea what it means.
