Subject: Why do so many people call Halo 1 Halo: CE

y r u reading this

Halo: CE is an entirely different game than Halo 1. Halo: CE does not mean Halo Combat Evovled, it means Halo Custom Edition!

DDOS'd Amazon's servers F5ing for Swag Bags...yeah I was there. :)

7-7-11 was another awesome Bungie Day! Thanks Bungie for making halo so amazing over the last 10 years. Can't wait to see what your Destiny will be next. ;)

I think about this everytime I see Halo CE also. Back then, it was refered to as Halo CE and the Xbox version was just Halo. But, in light of Reach, the community has seemed to have adopted Halo CE as Combat Evolved in reference to the original Halo.

I personally don't like to refer the Halo: Combat Evolved as "Halo 1". I much rather refer to it as the original Halo. But "Halo 1" and "Halo: CE" are much easier to get across to people I guess.

I always wondered why the title Custom Edition was used since it was the exact same initials anyways.

Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

Because here, it means Combat Evolved.

Combat Evolved came way before custom edition. Therefore CE=Combat Evolved. Period.

OP - You're a dumbass with the reading comprehension skills of a second grader.


Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

Halo: CE means Combat Evolved. Maybe my game box is lying to me.

If I had a Rocket Launcher...

Shut up and get behind me... Sir!

The cable. I'm going to cut it.

Awesomeness would ensue.

If I'm referring to Custom Edition, I tend to type it out fully.

Wort, wort, wort!

These are Halo: Combat Evolved forums. I will ALWAYS say the full and a half name of the first game. CE was way later, and usually people say it's custom edition and not CE. Halo 1 sounds so.. lame. It was the first. The best. It evolved FPS combat. So, shuun the non-believers!

I blame stosh.


Proud tester of the Halo 3 beta.

If I mean Custom Edition, then I say Custom Edition, if I mean Combat Evolved, I say CE. Why? Dunno, force of habit perhaps?

  • 04.15.2010 7:25 AM PDT

I used to be opposed to it, but I've finally given in to it. People don't talk about Custom Edition much anymore.

Technically that's true, but Combat Evolved was generally just referred to as Halo at the time. There was no need to distinguish it from the nonexistent Halo 2 or Halo 3. Custom Edition needed that distinction immediately and used the name to distinguish itself from Halo: Combat Evolved.

What are we supposed to be discussing here?


"Nothing in the 'Verse can stop me."

CE to me is Halo 1, theyre one in the same. Custom Edition is different. Personally since the majority of Halo titles are on Xbox and come first on Xbox it makes sense that CE means Combat Evolved. Stick to the majority :D

He rocks and guess what? hes me on XBox Live!!!

Custom edition means the non-official(I think non-official) version of halo wich means you can download maps of sites and use them in the game without having a warning message.

I dont ned those maps coz its better to just stick with the original as the other maps are not meant to be used and are not even as good as bungies maps.

I know so much because my freind has custom edition and plays on it all the time!

Custom Edition is an official version by Gearbox (who ported Halo to PC) for multiplayer, just that it allows custom content.

Some maps are just as good as the stock maps too.

I call the first Halo simply "Halo" then Halo 2, Halo 3, etc.

Probably nothing to do with this, but in Halo PC, the .exe for custom edition is haloce and for original halo is simply just "halo"

Halo to me is the first one, Halo CE to me is the custom edition, which i often play; more so than the standard game.

Served in the UNSC army since Halo 1. Now awaiting deployment in Bungies new game.

i just call Halo 1"Halo"

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

Most console gamers, so most Halo players, will understand that Halo CE typically refers to Halo: Combat Evolved. I don't think there is any wrong way to refer to either, but I know that is the first thing I think of when I see the notation.

'Halo 1' is officially called Halo: Combat Evolved, as everyone has said. I call it by the correct term. I've seen Custom called Halo Custom.

Not a graphics update. Filter for the video and new textures from the creators.

  • 05.01.2010 9:00 PM PDT

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

If the thread is about the Halo trilogy I say Halo:CE.
If it about Custom Edition I say Halo: Custom Edition.
