Everything in the campaign after second level easy. I see no reason why the rest shouldn't work, however.

Additional Comments
Haven't ran into anything yet. Just make sure you have a decent video card, turn on 3D through your video card drivers (system -> administration -> hardware drivers). Also, make sure your resolution is set to smaller than that of the game, otherwise your mouse will get caught in the top left corner. THAT took awhile to figure out. It lags a bit (skips) in places, but that's expected. It's not TOO bad... but enough to make you relearn your tactics. :-)

cd .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Microsoft\ Games/Halo ./halo.exe
Installing 'halotrialsetup.exe' into a clean wineprefix should work fine with wine-1.3.37.
To run the game, the working directory must be the Halo Trial directory, e.g.
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Microsoft\ Games/Halo\ Trial/ wine halo.exe
2015-10-06 Admin note: the following issue has been patched in version 1.0.10 of Halo Custom Edition and Halo Combat Evolved.
2014-11-08 Admin note: the following was extracted from a user comment made on 2013-10-30 and may or may not be relevant to current Wine.
THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO CURRENT VERSION OF HALO CE/PC
Wine is, like Windows, affected by a bug where Halo doesn't render
shaders as well on Nvidia hardware. The most visible symptom is that the
active camouflage is only using transparency instead of the proper way
where it is using a pretty neat shader.
The Windows fix is based on making Halo believe it is running on an
ATI card, which is not so complicated within Wine. Loosely based on the
Windows fix, enter these into the registry:
As DWORD: "HKCU\Software\Wine\Direct3D\VideoPciDeviceID" = "724b"
As DWORD: "HKCU\Software\Wine\Direct3D\VideoPciVendorID" = "1002"
If your Halo is in a more vast prefix, it is recommended to specify
it exclusively for the halo.exe as this fix may have the potential to
burn your house down.

Use argument -windowed to play correctly
Example: wine halo.exe -windowed
