A new Halo game for the PC has been announced recently & it will start it's closed beta within this month but, it's currently Russia only....although anyone can sign up for the beta now. Most probably people would be able to play this game even if they are not from Russia...as has been the case with Tencent & Activision's Call Of Duty Online which is exclusive to China (anyone can sign up & play this for free from any part of the world, the only problem is that the ping will be a bit high...but, it's still playable).

 

There has been a lot of criticism for the game being Russia only & the modders have taken matters on their own hands to make the game available to everyone outside of Russia :- http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/04/modders-want-to-remove-halo-onlines-microtransactions-georestrictions/

I've heard of the company (and I'm surely not the only Neowinian that has, either) - they are a Russian-based - though they DO cater to those outside Russia -  portal for free e-mail and browser-based apps and games; if anything, they are closer to Facebook.  Arguably, they are the second-largest Total Domination portal (behind Facebook) - and they are LARGER than Plarium's own TD portal.

 

The installer is in only Russian - however, it WILL install on non-Russian versions of Windows (including 10 10074 Enterprise - where it is going as I type this).

Actually you can get an English version of the installer..just copy the link address & change "halo_setup-ru" to "halo_setup-en" the game will still be in Russian though.

 

Here's a walkthrough for anyone interested in playing this:-

The game currently is NOT PAY TO WIN at all & let's hope it stays that way.Anyone can get access to it by registering at their website & also they do regular 100-500 activation code drops on their Vk.com page.

the company that does the game is this one

4game.com

 

vk.com IS like facebook.  they are using it the same way as facebook, for news and discussion.   they have nothing to do with the game, at least it looks like that to me.

 

 

Doesn't sound promising.

 

 

reading the comments there, it seem the alpha is not very playable, connect times are super long, you get thrown out a lot, and it does have some problems playing at correct resolution.

i would avoid it, until it is at least in Beta.

my guess the connect times are super long because all the servers are in russia, i got in and because of the time difference there's never many people playing.

I'm guessing this is an alpha/beta held in Russia only because Saber Interactive is based there. I've no doubt this will launch internationally when Windows 10 hits (likely with Xbox integration).

I don't approve what those hackers (they're not modders) are doing with this game though but it's gonna be fun playing Halo on the PC again. Love the Halo soundtracks.
