[[Halo: Combat Evolved]] was originally going to be made for the PC & Mac platforms.  Bungie changed platforms to the upcoming [[Xbox]] after being bought by [[Microsoft]]. Then, on 09/30/03, [[Gearbox Software]] created '''Halo for the PC''' and added a few extra features, too. (It should be noted, however, that in the process of developing the port, the ability to play co-op in multiplayer mode was lost entirely.) Later, a Halo Mac was made.

Halo PC contained several new features that the Xbox version of Halo lacked, namely the ability to play the game in [[Safe Mode]], in addition to six all new [[multiplayer]] maps.
