Nog heel even wachten en dan zal patch 1.03 verschijnen voor de PC-versie van Halo: Combat Evolved. De fixes en features zijn voornamelijk van multiplayeraard:
Features:
- Anti team killing – Implemented server-configurable team-killing banning solution. Removed respawn penalty from person who gets team killed. Increased respawn time multiplier for team killing.

- Assault mode timer – A permanent countdown timer is displayed on the HUD showing the time left for that “round”
- Assault mode flag hard reset option – The flag will reset automatically at the end of each “round”, even if it is being carried by someone.
- Networking performance – Enhancement to player prediction
- Persistent teams across mapcycle – Players will remain on the same team when a new map is started
