The [[Halo PC|PC version]] supports online multiplayer, and can run games with custom gametypes and up to sixteen players. Six additional maps were also added to the game: [[Danger Canyon]], [[Death Island]], [[Gephyrophobia]], [[Ice Fields]], [[Infinity]], and [[Timberland]]. Two additional weapons—the [[M7057 Defoliant Projector|Flamethrower]] and the [[Fuel Rod Gun]] -- became usable in the PC version as well.

Players can host both [[Wikipedia:Game server#Types of game servers|listen servers]] and [[Wikipedia:Game server#Dedicated game server|dedicated servers]]. A [[Wikipedia:Game server browser|server browser]], provided by GameSpy, comes with the game, though players can also use a LAN browser to find servers. (Alternatively, the [[Wikipedia:IP address|IP address]] or [[Wikipedia:domain name|domain name]] of a server can be accessed directly.) Unfortunately, the game lacks any kind of stat tracking, standardized rules, [[ban]]lists, or cheat detection past what server administrators provide; this complicates competitive organization and the prevention of [[cheating]] and [[Wikipedia:Griefer|griefing]].
