So there are videos all over YouTube and the web about this Halo Online game but nobody seems to bring it up here…
Is this thing even official? Or was this designed by a bunch of script kiddies who retaliated against MS and 343 for basically killing the franchise?
Can we play this Halo Online? I heard it is Russian only but the extensive videos on the net prove otherwise and nobody really explains how to get it.
I want it bad because the forge looked incredible with all that custom content and I’m sick of Halo Custom Edition because modding it is a real P.I.M.A and only has a 10% success rate…
Seriously nobody knows? Why is this thing such a secret?
Halo Online was announced last year as a closed beta in Russia, headed up by Saber Interactive and Innova Systems. Some of the Community managed to take what Saber / Innova had been working on and released unofficial versions that you can run yourself and connect to outside of Russia (modded content, so best not to discuss here). They (Halo Online) recently updated their time lines for this year I believe, can’t remember what their plans are though.
edit might want to give folk a little more than 30 minutes to reply 
Fair enough my good man. I just saw a forge video with a guy using a pelican in Halo 3 and forging all these custom weapon variants and I was like… I WANT THIS GAME!
I guess ill just stick with what we’ve got.
Ah, managed to find the info. Seems the Halo Online team have taken the servers down to rework the game client. Will be a few months of downtime, no eta on if / when they’ll come back up (but to me it seem it will at some point). See this Reddit post for more info
i hope its released everywhere because it seemed like a really neat game when it was out.
I think the project got shut down, I remember reading it somewhere but I can’t remember where. I’ll have to dig again.
