Halo has always been much more than just a game to me and the millions of fans worldwide, it's a cultural phenomenon, a community, and an experience that transcended generations of gamers. Halo: Combat Evolved (CE) marked the beginning of this legacy, leaving an indelible mark on gaming history with its revolutionary storytelling and iconic characters. It was a defining era for those who grew up exploring its vast universe and battling alongside its legendary marines.

However, the recent changes in Campaign Evolved have failed to honor this essential history. The decision to replace the original CE Marine models with replicas sourced from Halo Infinite has overlooked the unique and cherished design that fans have grown to love for decades. This disservice is not just about graphics; it's about preserving the essence and identity of a game that paved the way for future generations.

Imagine stepping onto the battlefield and being met with familiar sights, the CE Marines with their unique combat attire, partnering with you against foes. This nostalgia is an integral part of the Halo experience, and its absence has been duly noted by countless fans who long for the authenticity of the original.

While the intentions to upgrade Campaign Evolved are appreciated, the changes should not come at the cost of losing what made the original so beloved. Incorporating other assets from Halo Infinite, like Elites, Grunts, and the Needle Gun, is well-intended but should not overshadow the importance of maintaining the original stylistic integrity that the CE Marines brought to the universe.

We urge Halo Studios to reconsider this decision and to put forward an update that includes a faithful restoration of the original CE Marine model. This action would not only honor the legacy of Halo but also demonstrate respect and gratitude to the fans who have supported this franchise tirelessly.

Sign this petition to preserve the timeless essence of Halo: Combat Evolved and to show Halo Studios that fans cherish the original creations that started it all.
