Wow this is looking way better than I ever would have expected. They've certainly come a long way, isn't this a project from a bunch of old Halo CE modders?

This project is quite impressive and I'll definitely be playing it when it releases. That being said default Foundry layout is garbage.

You mean I can customise my armour without spending hundreds of dollars on REQ packs?!

Better than Halo 5. 343i should be ashamed

Microsoft allows fan based works for Halo and other properties provided they meet their content usage conditions. Installation 01 doesn't violate them so they've been given a pass.

  • You can't reverse engineer our games to access the assets or otherwise do things that the games don't normally permit in order to create your Items.
  • You can't use Game Content to create an Item that is pornographic, lewd, obscene, vulgar, discriminatory (on the basis of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, etc.), illegal, hate speech, promoting violence, drug use or any illegal activity, promoting crimes against humanity, genocide or torture, or is otherwise objectionable. Whether an Item is "objectionable" is up to us, but you can expect us to be concerned if a significant number of people in the game's community or the public at large report the content as offensive. If you see an Item or content that you consider objectionable, we recommend that you first report it to the online service where it is hosted, as it may violate that service's policy too. But you can also report it to us here and we'll see what we can do.
  • Except as described here, you can't sell or otherwise earn any compensation from your Item, including through advertisements in the Item. This means you can't charge money in exchange for your Item, post it on a site that requires subscription or other fees to view the Item, or post it on a page you use to sell other items or services(even if they have nothing to do with Game Content or Microsoft). You also can't use Game Content in an app that you sell in an app store.
  • You may make your Item available on Youtube or Twitch and participate in programs on those sites that allow you to earn revenue from ads displayed in connection with your Item.
  • If the Item you create and distribute is a free app, then you must distribute it for free (you can't charge for it), and you also can't earn any money from advertising in that app.
  • You may use the Item to enter a contest or sweepstakes as long as the contest organizers agree to follow these rules.
  • You may use the Item on a page where you ask for optional donation requests.
  • Once you've made and distributed your Item, anyone else using it also has to follow these rules.
  • If your Item is an app or website, it can't include any malware, adware, spyware or lead to spam or phishing attempts.
  • You cannot enter into any agreement with someone else to exclusively distribute your Item even if they don't pay you. We give you this license so that you can make cool Items and share them far and wide. Someone else holding your Item back from wide distribution means: (a) it's not going far and wide; and (b) it is very likely that person is trying to use the Game Content to promote their commercial venture. That's not what these Rules are about.
  • Where someone is trying to use Game Content to promote their commercial venture (even just a commercial website), they need our permission to do this. That is not allowed today unless that person has a commercial license from us, and so far, we haven't given anyone permission to do this. We'll let you know if we do.
  • If you want to use the soundtracks or audio effects from the original game, we often license those from or to third parties and don't always have the rights to pass them on to you. If we do, we'll let you know. For example, we might mention on the community website for a particular game whether you have these rights, so you'd do well to check. If we don't let you know, you need permission from a third party, especially for games with licensed music. But we'll confirm right here that the music from Halo 3 is available for your use in non-profit ventures thanks to an arrangement with O'Donnell/Salvatori, Inc., composers of this iconic theme.
  • You can't infringe anyone's IP rights in your Item.
  • You can't use any of Microsoft's trademarked logos or names except in the ways described in the pages linked from www.microsoft.com/trademarks.
  • In addition, your Items may not use the name of the Microsoft Game in their title to give the impression that Microsoft is the source of the Item, or authorized or endorsed the Item. Items that make referential use of our titles are fine, for example, "Let's Play Forza Motorsport 5" or "Tips and Strategies for Halo 5." Using the Game title to tag your Item on social media is fine. We also don't object to "Red vs. Blue" or "Operation Chastity". But we may object to "Halo: Covenant Strike," for example, if it could be confused as something Microsoft produced or licensed, or if it could be mistaken as an official part of the Game. We just want to make sure consumers don't get confused.
  • Along those same lines, please don't use actual logos from the Microsoft Game as part of your Item's logos.

Looks like it's improving

Being honest though it is still a ways from meeting the goals probably, but understandable given it's coming from the ground up completely.

Playing Eldewrito (I know MS flagged it hard) already having all the content already in quite a bit ahead already given the assets and engine and basically the whole game was already released.
