The game was massively influential in the FPS genre, and it did a wonderful job of showing the player what it meant to be a Spartan super soldier in a short amount of time. Halo: Combat Evolved had a certain magic to it that's hard to recapture, especially in its early levels. Halo Infinite Can Evolve Halo: Combat Evolved The open level design of Infinite can finally deliver on that opportunity to freely explore an Installation that Combat Evolved posited, but was never able to capitalize on. In Halo Infinite, Master Chief will arrive at Zeta Halo to confront the Banished and reunite the scattered forces of the UNSC. The Halo mission in Combat Evolved seems rather quaint by modern standards, and there have certainly been plenty of Halo missions that have dwarfed it in scale, but that fleeting emotion of daunting exploration is something that the series hasn't quite explored in the same way, instead opting to keep the campaigns rather linear.

At the end of Combat Evolved's tutorial mission aboard the Pillar of Autumn, escape pods crash land on Installation 04, aka Alpha Halo, and the player must rescue UNSC marines fighting against the Covenant in a mission aptly titled "Halo." For the time - released in 2001 for the original Xbox - the scale of such a mission was impressive. Master Chief taking on the Banished forces in Halo Infinite and gathering scattered UNSC troops on Zeta Halo has a very similar feel to the beginning of Halo CE.
Infinite is ambitiously trying to convert the flagship FPS franchise to a nearly open-world format, and in doing so, may finally realize the full potential hinted at by the series' very first game. The series' sixth mainline installment, Halo Infinite, has its most ambitious campaign yet, but aspects of it harken back to the original, Halo: Combat Evolved.
