What do you expect when they're using assets owned by Microsoft... It's not legal if it's using original assets from Halo Online (which it is). This was absolutely expected. 343/MS is totally okay with fan-games so long as they use completely original assets-- see the 343 endorsed game, Installation 01.So the only thing it changes is 343 making it clear that they're not okay with people using their IP freely for legal purposes and it not changing the fact that people can still play it and even update it, just not advertise it
what a bunch of dicks
You replied to me. I said if this burns a bridge.I'm not complaing about them shutting this down? It's not their IP to keep Dewrito going.
I responded to someone saying they burned a bridge with PC gamers.
Partner with them to inform what kind of classic Halo people want on PC. Not to have them develop it.Everyone needs to take a step back and realize what's happening hear. MS is trying to partner with the team. I view that as a good thing. They'll have more resources at their disposal as well this way

At best, that leads to capitulation and something like WoW classic, but they could just as easily get that information and do nothing with it.
This is just another WoW Vanilla private server situation. We'll see MCC for PC. I'm very confident in this.
Well....yeah they have very openly said they want to, but Xbox is their priority right now for fixing MCC.This is just another WoW Vanilla private server situation. We'll see MCC for PC. I'm very confident in this.
You were complaining about the studio in general - "343 is the worst blah blah blah"
Jesus all of the 343 hate in this thread is straight up embarrassing.
They are one of the worst devs. They've completely ruined a great franchise with every step they've taken with it. I'm not the only Halo fan with this opinion. I was responding to someone saying they burnt their bridge with PC gamers, which means they've burnt every bridge they had. They are one of the worst devs in gaming.
I would recommend setting your expectations low. A "classic" gametype for Halo 6 that maybe has its own playlist with some Forge maps, like the Halo: CE Anniversary stuff for Reach.I highly doubt nothing positive will come of this. I guess we can all agree that we are both hoping for positive outcomes out of this
Cease and desist! You are not allowed to use their IP in that way!Is it actually being shut down? I already have it installed, is the game going to stop being able to connect to servers? I'm playing it right now.
Your not actually using that picture as a serious point right? like.... right?

No problem then, I'll keep having my classic Halo gameplay with keyboard and mouse then :)Servers are P2P so you'll be able to keep playing. This only means devs won't be able to update the game anymore.
I would say check out Installation 01 for legal Halo fan game stuff.
As for official Halo PC stuff, I imagine we hear something in June.

I really gotta laugh at the unsaid implication that Bungie would be better with PC here. Not even going to dig at the assertion that the way this particular esports venue was ran makes them the worst.I was responding to someone saying they burnt their bridge with PC gamers, which means they've burnt every bridge they had.
Okay and the recent HWC hosted by MLG was amazing. Blame ESL on that pile of balloons.

Care to give some examples of this? Also those pictures of HaloWC are extremely misleading, that's the overflow tent and should be banned from posted around here by now.

At least it seems like MS has something planned, maybe a MS store official release for this or a MCC release in a few months(E3?). Even if they block the game's download it will still work, so why not get some good PR in the meantime? Keep ElDewrito as an official F2P Halo 3 multiplayer game to get new Halo fans and old fans around, maybe gain money via skins, customizables, effects(if this is what takes to keep it alive officially, I'll take it) and release the Master Chief Collection for the people that want to play the campaigns and their multiplayer modes. Sounds good enough?
Anyway, I have one suggestion: get this dudes. Sign up the people behind this mod. They are talented individuals that understand what makes Halo fun for many fans that maybe stopped playing a few years ago. In other words, they can help you make more money.
The server browser is also going to go down, that alone will kill this game.They dont need to "keep" anything. There is nothing MS can do to stop people from downloading (it can just be re-uploaded everywhere) and playing (p2p/ dedicated servers), they can only stop development.
I've been playing this non stop the last few days, and while it's fun it's a complete pile of jank with a lot of bugs. I don't think they would want to turn this into an official project as it would take a lot of work to get it to a decent state worth being an official project tied to 343's and MS's name.At least it seems like MS has something planned, maybe a MS store official release for this or a MCC release in a few months(E3?).

Shitty but Microsoft has to do what they have to do.
I like the idea of 343 partnering with the ElDewrito team to make something official for PC.
Jesus all of the 343 hate in this thread is straight up embarrassing.
With their acknowledgement of people wanting MCC on PC in their recent updates, the fact they are working on a pipeline to bring Custom Edition maps to MCC and their willingness to work with the ED team. I got $50 on MCC coming to PC
If this is true then this is pretty shitty.The server browser is also going to go down, that alone will kill this game
Microsoft slowly realizing people want BUNGIE's Halo back.
And they're going to fight hard to keep that from happening.
Too late tho, we got ours.
As we look ahead, we're very excited about the prospects of an official classic Halo experience making its way to PC and we hope to be able to partner with the ElDewrito team and broader mod and content creation community to help inform the types of experiences and features our fans desire. While we have nothing to announce today, please know that the PC community is very important to us and top of mind as we work towards the future.
Nah. People will organise on reddit and discord, gather IPs of servers, etc etc. The playerbase will get lower sure but it'll be fine.The server browser is also going to go down, that alone will kill this game

What part of this paragraph makes you think that?
This sounds like they may embrace them in some form. Compared to Blizzard's attitude to vanilla WoW a few years ago I'd say this is a great sign.
Microsoft is usually pretty good lately but i'm not falling for the PR speak this time.This sounds like they may embrace them in some form. Compared to Blizzard's attitude to vanilla WoW a few years ago I'd say this is a great sign.
Microsoft can pop off and remove every download link they find for the game - it's out there and it's community ran. It's going to survive and be passed on.
Enough with the platitudes like "we love the PC community and are dedicated to providing content for them" when you haven't released an acceptable product for the platform in a decade. It's absolutely insulting and frankly, this only exists because there isn't an official product as a proper substitution.
Okay and the recent HWC hosted by MLG was amazing. Blame ESL on that pile of balloons.
Completely understood, but an immediate shut down just seems unnecessary when an official announcement of a classic Halo experience/MCC has yet to be made. Only acknowledgements. What's the harm in waiting to do this before E3 where people expect a lot of Halo? If anything this is starting up the hype train for that IMO.Also hopefully MS will either fix the Windows Store or put whatever results from this on Steam too. Cuz otherwise anything they would make would be DOA on PC.
To be fair this isn't some harmless fan game made from scratch. It's a full blown mod using their code.
