Did you hear that this fan-based PC-exclusive multiplayer Halo got 343i's blessing?
Quite rad, isn't it? Has anybody followed this? Is there actually hope for it being decent? Is MS allowing it to happen because the franchise isn't as hot as it used to be? Halsey did nothing wrong.

They're allowing it because they are not promoting it and releasing it around Halo's major release window Fall 2018.
>has the developer's blessing
Yeah, but for how long?
>>382246269
Until Halo 6 gets released next year.
>>382246269
>>382246693
I really doubt they would do that now after they've given it green light. Imagine it getting popular, it would piss plenty of people off, dragging 343i further into mud. If it's not that popular then it doesn't really compete the main franchise in any meaningful way.
>>382246693
Halo 6 is going to be on PC?
>>382247795
True, if it becomes too popular and steals Halo's audience I can see it getting the C&D from Microsoft like Nintendo did with AM2R but since Halo's audience is bigger than Metroid's chances are that may not happen. Plus as of right now 343 already have a bunch of angry nostalgiafags on them, they don't need fan game fans on them. They need to prove themselves with Halo 6 before they can finally get people to accept them.

Halo 6 will be on Xbox One and Windows 10.
>>382245315
Oh look it here.
Another """indie""" company blatantly making an obvious clone of another game and declining that it is in anyway related to halo and is likely to use """"""kickstarter"""""" to help their clone game which is TOTALLY not halo onto the market and will likely make it """""""""early access""""""""" along with upcoming """"""""""""promising updates by the devs"""""""""""" on this game before it is official...
Fucking hate the gaming industry these days.
>>382249027
I hate this fucking board.
>>382249027
You are fucking stupid, as soon they try to make a cent with the game they'd get a cease and desist.
MS is pretty cool with stuff like this, unlike Sony and Nintendo. There's a Halo for the Atari 2600.
Wait, what's this exactly? Some halo 1 multiplayer remake or something?

Thank goodness. Fuck me why didn't I know of this. Also loonix and mac ports so fuck wondows
>>382249736
Hence why they made it a clause that they cannot market, sell the game, or take donations.

how come we do not see humans and Sangheili interact more offend? I have seen so many fan art like this that shows that people are interested in that.
>>382253083
Just because it's good doesn't mean it should be done more often. We need quality, not quantity. Besides, there's like shitload of that stuff happening on Sanghelios in 5.
>>382253083
Because 343 are sadly a dev team that bleeds talent with every game they make. As much as I hate Halo 4 it at least had a story that had honest passion behind it as the main creative lead based on his mothers struggle with dementia. As someone who also had to go through that I can imagine how much the guy had to really suffer to use that as an inspiration for Cortana going rampant. Next game he's out of the creative seat despite him not coming up with the retarded forerunner shit that was the actual problem with the Halo 4 story. The guy behind Republic Commando is in charge of Halo 5s campaign, gets almost no creative input, leaves right after Halo 5 ships. Now Tom French who is the guy who basically made all of the good features that made it into Halo 5 like the fantastic additions to Forge and the Custom Games browser is now in charge of Halo 6 and he'll no doubt he pushed to the side despite him probably being the most talented person at 343. Also he worked on The Saboteur which is pretty goddamn underrated.
>>382253872
But Tim Longo was the Creative Director of Halo 5 and he is still at 343 as the Creative Director, he came up with the squad combat. I think you are talking about Brian Reed who was the game's Writer and later became Narrative Director before being fired and replace for Halo 6. That fuck bag cut the actual interesting storyline that was supposed to be about Chief's close connection to Blue Team and Halsey out of the game because he wanted players to have the same experience they had with ODST and Reach (Bungie's worst Halo games). What a fucking idiot.
