Titanfall 2 is the best all-round starting point if you want another science-fiction shooter with both a single-player campaign and multiplayer. For a campaign-led pick, try DOOM Eternal; for portal-based multiplayer, consider Splitgate. None is a direct Halo replacement, so choose according to whether you care most about story, combat style, or competitive play.
How these games compare with Halo
| Game | Best fit | Campaign | Multiplayer | Key difference from Halo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Titanfall 2 | A mix of sci-fi campaign and multiplayer | EA describes a single-player campaign focused on the bond between Pilot and Titan. | EA describes an expanded multiplayer experience. | Fast pilot movement and mech combat give it a different feel from Halo. EA’s Titanfall 2 features page |
| DOOM Eternal | A campaign-first, high-intensity FPS | Bethesda and PlayStation list a single-player campaign. | BATTLEMODE is a 2-versus-1 mode. | Its multiplayer is not conventional arena PvP. Bethesda and PlayStation |
| Splitgate | Portal-based multiplayer | A story campaign is not established by the cited official listing. | PlayStation describes a free-to-play shooter with casual and competitive modes. | It is a multiplayer option, not a confirmed campaign-and-multiplayer substitute. PlayStation |
Best all-round alternative: Titanfall 2
Titanfall 2 is the clearest recommendation if you want one game that offers both a story campaign and multiplayer. EA describes a single-player campaign about the relationship between a Pilot and a Titan, alongside an expanded multiplayer experience. That combination overlaps with Halo’s two major modes without copying its combat: Titanfall 2 emphasizes fast-moving pilots and battles involving large Titans.
Xbox Wire reported that Titanfall and Halo were among the influences on Splitgate, but for Titanfall 2 the strongest reason to start here is more straightforward: its official feature page confirms both campaign and multiplayer. Check the current platform listing and online availability where you live; the cited information does not establish current stock, price, or matchmaking activity.
Best for a campaign-first player: DOOM Eternal
Choose DOOM Eternal if your priority is a substantial single-player FPS campaign and energetic combat, rather than reproducing Halo’s multiplayer. Bethesda and PlayStation describe its campaign, while PlayStation also lists BATTLEMODE, a 2-versus-1 multiplayer mode. That format is a distinct change from conventional team arena matches.

Best for portal-based multiplayer: Splitgate
Splitgate’s defining multiplayer idea is using portals to move through maps and create unexpected lines of attack. PlayStation describes casual and competitive modes. In a 2021 Xbox Wire interview, 1047 Games CEO Ian Proulx said, “I grew up playing a lot of Halo 2 and Halo 3 and was completely captivated by their straightforward but sophisticated gameplay.” That is useful context about an influence, not proof that Splitgate plays exactly like Halo.
Rank #2
The cited PlayStation listing does not establish a story campaign, so Splitgate is best considered when you want multiplayer rather than a complete campaign-and-multiplayer replacement. Its present service status and player population are not established by these sources; verify them before choosing it for online play.
What about Halo: Campaign Evolved?
Halo: Campaign Evolved is an announced remake of Halo: Combat Evolved’s campaign, not an alternative from another franchise. Xbox Wire’s October 2025 announcement planned it for 2026 and listed Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and Game Pass Ultimate/PC Game Pass. PlayStation’s listing describes two-player console split-screen and up to four-player online cooperative campaign play. The cited descriptions cover campaign co-op, not competitive multiplayer. Because these are announcement details, check the Xbox Wire announcement and the PlayStation listing for current release status and platform details.
