All we know is that have been told to temporarily halt development until more information is available, and we must honor this request. However, it appears that any Microsoft assets required to play the game (MS23 builds, Full 0.6 game zips, ect ) will likely be taken down by Microsoft.
HALO ONLINE DEWRITO MOD
Since ElDewrito itself is simply an open source mod and not a Microsoft asset, the mod itself will not be taken down. “Our conversation with 343 was very brief. “To be completely honest, we do not know the answer to this question yet,” ElDewrito team member RabidSquabbit said in their post. What does this mean for the future of the ElDewrito Halo Online mod? The mod team has since “paused” development. Microsoft and 343 Industries contacted the ElDewrito team to “have an open discussion about the project and the admittedly difficult situation we all find ourselves in,” according to the post. “As this project reverberated across the community, our team took a step back to assess the materials and explore possible avenues, while Microsoft, like any company, has a responsibility to protect its IP, code and trademarks. “While we are humbled and inspired to see the amount of passion poured into this project, the fact remains that it’s built upon Microsoft-owned assets that were never lawfully released or authorized for this purpose,” 343 Industries said.
HALO ONLINE DEWRITO UPDATE
The recent release of the ElDewrito mod’s 0.6 update caught the attention of Microsoft - thanks to its popularity with players - and the company similarly clamped down, but with a slightly different tack. The game was put on hold, but “ended up in the wild beyond its intended audience and official scope.” Microsoft issued DMCA takedown notices in an attempt to scrub Halo Online’s unofficial spread across the internet. The creators of the mod, known as ElDewrito, have stopped active development on the project after Microsoft contacted the team, according to posts from 343 Industries and ElDewrito’s creators.Īs 343 Industries says in a post on Halo Waypoint, Halo Online was developed for the Russian market in conjunction with studio Sabre Interactive. Microsoft and Halo developer 343 Industries have intervened in the development of a community-made mod for Halo Online, a free-to-play PC game based on Halo 3, over concerns that the project violates Microsoft’s intellectual property.
