So anyone telling how to actually PLAY it?

That's cool and all, but the number one rule of fangames; Keep quiet about it. As soon as Msoft catches wind, BAM! Gone.
talravis
whoa damn
wutnold124
my computer would blow up probably. its shit. although it can run planetside at two FPS, its still horrible.
punner
Man, the irony of the project name when the Cease and desist comes in.
verticae
Those look almost exactly like Morrowind textures.The hell.
PossiblyABear
I want this to exist just so it can be better than that new CoD game... Halo 4 I think it was called.

Darklordpainda
Has anyone heard anything?
Reprisal
This looks nice. To bad it'll be shutdown now and never finished, because Microsoft. It is their IP so, can't blame em. They'll protect it.
KlNGOFlMGUR
Just in case anyone is wondering, its using crytek 3 engine.

since when? from what I've been reading it's not breaking any copyright rules and is under their policy ("Game Content Usage Rules" )
TheNamesTalcJamesTalcSpecialAntiCakedayAgent
I'm sort of wondering how it isn't covered under artistic expression...
namelesscynic
"Free-to-play" and "fan-made" tend to go hand-in-hand, thanks to those pesky "trademark violation" lawsuits.
Randomizera
I never played Halo but i am gonna try this out.
melodramaticbat
Woah. That's pretty graphic.
CarmelChewy
Can you download the demo of this yet, or no?

this website was made by a 4 year old apparently... or by the same people who designed reddit
Flammavir
They should make this the new Halo, don't bother making another one.

H4 was such a disappointment. And after reading the novels, Reach was kind of bleh too.

MountainYankee
Maybe if you read the book, instead of expecting everything to be hand fed to you then you probably would have liked 4.
throwaway1610
I love you for saying this. I read the book about the Didact and the main character (can't remember him, oddly enough) and i loved H4
MountainYankee
See I didn't read the books, because I have a shit ton to read for my major, but even then I still loved the game, I just looked up all the-
MountainYankee
info that was needed to understand the game before launch.
ImJenkins
The devs say that they're safe from a C&D, because it it against Microsoft's policy or something.
Drakhma
what is it about
ooyorkoo
as the biggest halo in fan in the world I might need to go change my pants again after seeing that cable post
rampantelephant
Ooh ooh I wanna play.
kerr0r
Mmmmmm, chest-high walls!

ALL MY YESSS
Whiachy
I must have this.
soundestemperor
Looks better than Halo 4.
ReverendAurora
I can smell the C&D from here... shame. This looks awesome.
SeinorRains
Its actually completely fine, it says how on their website.
FinnAhern
All they have to do is release one torrent and there's nothing Microsoft can do about it.
ReverendAurora
That's true, but Finish first then release. C&D won't work then. Releasing teasers is where the dumb lives.
kelpsie
I would imagine it to be difficult to put together a project as large as this without generating some sort of hype to keep you going.
SlightlyNormal
^this. Don't fucking post about your fan work until you can release it, then it's too late for C&D.
Wabbajackwagon
Sucks man. As a game dev I'd be so excited to see what fans make based off a game I had part in. Sadly, we don't make the business decisions

I know... I fucking hate Microsoft. It's what has stopped me from following the Halo series.
Stainlesssteele4
Technically, Microsoft has a clause in their legal terms about using their IP in ways like this. They explained it when the project launched
Rhase
Yeah, it looks great. And god knows I want halo on PC. Maybe this will push 343 to release on PC, though. Would be cool.
FrankBrayman
Not sure how 343i will react as opposed to Bungie, but Bungie had the opportunity to curb stomp RoosterTeeth right when they were (1/2)
Rhase
Well, cockbite is different. They're giving them publicity in a medium that the company themselves does not venture. Generating sales.
FrankBrayman
getting started, and Bungie instead gave them their blessing and even suppported the RvB content they were making. Good luck to this guy.
FedEXguy
Ah, yes, back when Rooster Teeth was actually called Cock Bite.
ZombieEinstein
Actually, MS and Bungie already gave them the all clear - so long as they put proper disclaimers on it; 'this game is not cannon'
pluto2
Halogen - Never Forget. I would pay big money for that game.

NoItsACardiganButThanksForNoticing
Which is sad as fuck. Valve supports the fan-made reboot of Half Life on the source engine and is even going to put the game on steam.
Wabbajackwagon
Seriously as a game developer I'd LOVE to see where fans take the games I make. Wish more companies were as open minded as Valve sometimes
Rezol
You mean Black Mesa? It's already there.
NoItsACardiganButThanksForNoticing
Its been greenlit for steam distribution but they are waiting to finish the alien level before they release it on steam
ConeDrone
They stopped work on the free version and are working on a commercial release for valve.
SittinSamTheSaychetMan
boo hiss. I've been patiently waiting for the next installment of the free one
Rezol
Oh, okay.

ReverendAurora
Actually it's not. Fair use requires you to be doing something other than using stuff for it's intended use. Review, parody (1/?
ReverendAurora
, satire etc. this is using Halo stuff to make a video game, the intended use of the stuff. What makes it okay is that they have permission.
illegalpeanut
Nope. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/Community/Developer/Rules They're allowed to do it.
Reptarr
C&D - cease and desist.

SpoonOfDoom
Thanks - somehow I read that as "CoD" and was wondering what Call of Duty has to do with this.

Count yourself luck i read it as counterstrike
iamthediscofapper
Thank you. I thought it was Cake & Duck.
FosterSisterFister
A delicacy in my part of the world
IAmAce
Stupid question: What is that?
iAmMyOwnOnlyGoodMeme
i second this. we should prob just google it.
HolyCarp
Basically a company will give someone a Cease and Desist when they no longer want that person to continue what they're doing, so in this>
HolyCarp
case, MS would issue a cease and desist, because they own Halo, and this game would technically be copyright infringement so the devs would>
HolyCarp
have to stop what they're doing, or risk facing MS taking legal action against them.
JezzaYouLilRipper
So excited for Destiny!
AGronau
And yes, Destiny is God damn amazing. I played the Beta Saturday and yesterday. Blown away.
DuckSeason
Someone on here is giving away beta codes
IAmTheSquidward
I have an extra PS4 beta code...anyone interested?
Sab3rSc0rpi0n
I am VERY interested! I never got one, and Gamestop won't let me.
Rhase
I was, but I'm not buying a console MMO, so I shelved my excitement. :c
AGronau
Honestly, it's not so much an MMO but rather a shared-space FPS. Sure, there are other players, but largely it's just you and your fireteam.
Rhase
Oh? Sounds about like a guild in your typical fantasy MMO. I really wish they'd launch it on PC. But meh. Is what it is.
AGronau
Same here. However, I really like FPS games on consoles. Something about the feel of the controller opposed to a mouse. To each their own.
Rhase
I do, as well, though I also enjoy mouse/keyboard. TBH I just don't want to resub to xbl on top of a game sub. Eff that.
DuckSeason
Someone on here is giving away beta codes
Rhase
I honestly wish they'd release for PC even if they restricted controls to a 360 controller. (Most pc gamers would disagree.)
AGronau
I have a couple codes for US PS4. Beta runs Wed, July 23 through Sun the 27th.
ProfessorCaseyJones
I'd be interested in one o' thems if that's still on the table
JezzaYouLilRipper
That's nice of you man. Australian here with an xbox1 tho
PippleNincherSr
Sorry about your disappointment men
JezzaYouLilRipper
Hahahahahahaha fuck
BrendanJ27
It looks better than other halo games *cough reach cough* I really hope it doesn't get shut down.
YoullBePerfectWhenYoureDead
Microsoft tends to not care much about fan Halo stuff so not really a lot of worries
Whateverthehellyouwant
But.. I loved reach...
Rhase
Prettiness isn't everything. Halo 2 is still my favorite by a long shot. :3
CommanderWilliamTRiker
I thought Reach was better than Halo 4. The story was more interesting.
hailspacegod
Pay your respects REMEMBER REACH
DuckSeason
I think you mean halo 4
thehatgame
If you're going by graphical fidelity, then sure, it looks better than Reach. But Reach was last gen and this is 2014 PC masterrace stuff.
thehatgame
While we're here, Reach was possibly the best or second best Halo. Halo 4 is the worst in both campaign, story and multiplayer. Opinions!
Goldenfoxengraving
as a MAJOR halo fan* I, sadly agree. *was a fan up till it was 100% killed by four
MountainYankee
Honestly I hate you for your opinion but then again it's your opinion, and my opinion is that I liked 4 and thought it was a nice transition
sugar3
I still play halo 3 daily, it's the best.
AFlyingPrius
Halo 4 was Frank O' Connors fanfic...

ItsAlwaysTimeToDiddle
Halo 4 was great.
NuclearBoxcutter
That's because it was made by different folks and made for profit and profit only.
iamdizzyonfanta
I enjoyed Halo 4. Mainly because there were lots of nudges to the books and stuff - although parts didn't make complete sense without (1)
iamdizzyonfanta
said books. Such as the Didact/Ur-Didact situation, or the Forerunner's genetic fuckery. If you hadn't read any of the extra material (2)
iamdizzyonfanta
Those bits were complete fucking blindsides. Bad move to expect your playerbase to read the books around the games.
MountainYankee
Obviously I am being sarcastic but couldn't put *Saracatic* in so but I am not being sarcastic now so that previous statement wasn't sarcasm
MountainYankee
What we had to read to understand the background of a game that has had a book series for as long as its existence?! We didn't know that.
