Forum:Halo Online (General)

I thought maybe it was time to start a forum discussion on Halo Online. I have found this video on Youtube. I'm currently watching it, so I don't know if it shows anything new, but it's pretty interesting so see how the game's graphics come from both Halo 3 and Halo 4.

 * I was a bit confused by the decision to make a Halo game, even multiplayer-only, exclusive to Russia. Not because I have anything against Russia specifically (though I do wish they'd stop needling Ukraine) but because I would expect it to make massive amounts of money for a worldwide release. But I've seen a few arguments that have helped me understand. Firstly, it probably won't stay exclusive to Russia if it does well there. Saber Interactive have offices in Russia, making them on-hand to handle the maintenance side of things. There's also the fact that Russia has a low adoption rate of the Xbox, which means that it won't be competing with Microsoft's own products.
 * As for what I've seen of the game itself, it looks good. It looks like Halo 3, but with sprint. I've seen some hints at weapon customisation, and the video you linked here says that players can "rent" super weapons for a given number of credits earned/bought which seem like it would be annoying for other players but something that keeps them playing, I suppose.
 * I don't think I'd play it, myself. I'm a campaign guy. But I think this is a good thing, and I hope it does well. --  Qura 'Morhek   The Autocrat     of Morheka   01:18, 28 March 2015 (EDT)

Right now it's just in Beta. I highly doubt they're going to be it Russia-exclusive; they just want a certain place to test it. Eventually they'll want moar money, and that means bringing Halo Online everywhere else. Tuckerscreator (stalk ) 01:56, 28 March 2015 (EDT)
