Going to be interesting to see although because they said "economy" its prob gonna be just some halo-themed mmo-type micro-transaction farm.. we're a week shy of april fools or else this would raise a red flag for me

Based off the concept art and the leaked pic, this looks very interesting. Really hope it makes its way to the rest of the world

I would absolutely love to see this come to America. I can imagine a load of maps being ported in a reskinned from other halo games and maybe even a 3d editing program allowing us to make our own. I'd probably become a PC master race fan boy if this became a relevant counterpart to the main series.

I can only hope this is just a premature april fools joke... Instead of fixing the MCC they use much needed resources to develop a third title parallel to Spartan strike and H5. dafuq is wrong with 343i anyway? its almost 5 month after the release of the game and nothing works the way it should or the way they promised it on E3. No dedicated servers. No Ranks. No working Customs. An awful lagging Forge. I kinda want to punch Frank O'Conor in the stomach for all the empty and shallow promises he and his Company made. they are either incapable of keeping up with their ambitions or just don't care about the community. either way their ignorance and incompetence made them lose another diehard halofan. they wont see another penny from me ever again. Well done 343, well done.

This game is the epitome of farm fresh, unpasteurized, corporate milk. I'd honestly be better off by sucking off the Halo cash cow directly from it's teat. Thanks for fixing MCC, 343!

Sprint and Promethean Vision for this game?

A desert themed Avalanche and they remade Turf. Makes me wonder if that version of Turf is leftover from an attempt in Halo 3 or H2A. Just seems too high quality of a map in that picture to be in a F2P game.

"So halo 3 is finally coming to pc! ... oh and btw we're throwing halo 4 stuff in there too... oh and only russia gets it"

lol... im gonna go cry now

Sprinting on Guardian... LMAO

For the record isnt developing this... saber interactive is.. the same people who helped with MCC and the same people who originally did Halo CE anniversary... Microsoft is so big that its hard to understand how they allocate their money and resources its obvious though that they're not holding halo as tightly as they have in the past and allowing these 3rd party affiliations to use not only halo resources but also build onto the lore of the halo universe.

I think the hate is well put for their lack of finalizing MCC but it gets to the point where its ignorant to point the finger at them when they're not developing this project

edit: and this info came from halo waypoint and saberinteractives site and the wiki on microsoft and saber interactive... saber interactive isnt a listed subsidiary so they're likely doing their own thing with their own funding.. which might by why its cheaper to run in russia

Just imagine if we get a full level editor (like Quake Live) and mod support for this game...
We could play our own settings on our own maps (and ofc on some classic maps). This would be really cool. Let's just hope that if this comes they don't force us to play on dumb settings (sprint, ADS, ect.)!

This is basically the Halo game I've been waiting for... So long as the loadouts aren't too obtrusive. I think competitive Halo could really benefit from this too.

I'm concerned about the un-even player starts as each player will have different settings for their weapons and possible abilities. This means that you can't predict how to engage your opponent at critical moments. When you are both at low shields, challenging them will be like playing Russian roulette. Now I know why this game is made for Russians only...

That said its extremely exciting to see this game unfold because of the potential it carries. I've always imagined a Halo game for the PC and am looking forward to its incubation period in Russia. The regional exclusivity is good, the game is being tested before mass release.

Even if that's true, there might be a range that is acceptable for the game. I'll have to play it for myself before I can really pass judgement. I'm hesitant because of the micro-transactions, but the game was made for markets that are content with current micro-transaction trends. If a regional version is developed, I think this would be discussed.

Also, if people are allowed to host dedicated servers, community-run competitive brackets like ESEA, might get rid of that problem. Doubtful that that is the case, but hopeful. :/

Boggles my mind that a game which has the basic core Halo mechanics, still tries to shove in the stuff they know is hated. Even project contingency suffers from this.

Looks like I'm moving to Russia!

Project Contingency has sprint? I don't think they have any MP videos yet.

The capability is ENDLESS on pc. Not to be a master-race douche, but I'm excited for this. Currently using the 360, so I'll be happy to play halo with some friends again!
