I wish someone put this much modelling effort into those Arma 3 mods. The models here look so much more refined and professional looking.
Should really have 'Fan game' in the title.

I just copy pasted the video title
If a mod sees this, a change would be helpful.

Thanks, boo.
So is this just C&D dead-on-arrival, or did he get special permission?

Microsoft has always been super cool with people doing shit with Halo as long as they follow their content usage rules.
Except that time they C&D'd that fan Halo RTS. Probably because it was close to the announcement of Halo Wars 1

True. Then there's also the fact that their generally cool attitude with fan stuff came from a time when Halo games were only on Xbox(besides 1 and 2, but MS didn't really pay attention to those ports). MS didn't have to worry about players preferring to play fan-made games and mods over their own games.
If by some strange miracle they announce Halo 3 Anniversary on PC this year, I'd understand if they decided to shut these guys down.

Surely if it did get C&D'd, it could continue with original-looking and legally-distinct stuff?
Odds are they've got plans for stuff like that, anyway.

Does that 'shit' include actual polished games?
Either way, [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqwP6uuYOWo"]this[/URL] ("PSA: A Message to Unofficial Fan Game Creators", 11:45) is relevant. Projects have been C&D'd even after the company owning the IP has expressed approval.
Shame that this is just MP
Wish you could play as some of the other Covenant races. Would love to be a Brute.

microsoft doesnt care what you do with halo as long as you dont make money off it iirc
All the elites have thunder thighs for some reason

That keeps it legal, halal, and kosher. Microsoft is rather open about the guidelines and unless they're developing their own version, this doesn't constitute a violation of their policy.

Yeah i suppose you are right.
I still expected and wanted some SP Halo game not some shitty MP version

Pretty sure single player is allowed only thing it says about story on it is that MS can take it and make it cannon without paying you

That's probably the most lenient western content use license I've ever seen. I'm impressed.

And so long as you don't straight up use their assets (at least in excess), I believe. It's one thing to take Halo assets and mess around with them on Garry's Mod or the like, it's another to try to make a full-blown, Halo asset-driven mod or Unity game.
