Don't Pm me for groups, Cheers!

I just found these...

My brain hurts. Can someone please tell me why this exists?

EDIT: A statement from the Halo Wiki

"Ensemble has been wanting to make an MMO for a long time. That was in production for a long time. The Halo IP was a great IP to launch an MMO with. Microsoft... hasn't had the best track record with those.
And we worked on it for a long time-we had staffed up an almost-40 person team. And then there was some reorganization at Microsoft, and the new bosses thought it wasn't the best idea anymore. It had actually been green-lit, and then it got cancelled after that."

A bunch of those rifles look like the Vindicator rifle from Mass Effect. And do I see an F2000?

Pass the controller bro

Hahaha, wow something like this existed? A Halo MMO would have never worked unless it was something like Planetside, which we dont need anyway since we have Planetside already.

Still surprised though.

Okay I just found the wiki page. It was being developed by Ensemble between 2005-2007. The same time Halo Wars was being developed.

Here's the wiki entry

Because Halo wouldn't work as an MMO. As diverse as it is, it lacks the diversity necessary to appeal to every type of person imaginable from an art and gameplay perspective.

This exists because it is the only way a Halo MMO could work.

I think I love you...

An MMOFPS or what?

I don't really think a Halo game would suit an RPG.

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

I recall there being a fan made Halo MMO called Halo Galaxy or something similar In development. Hadn't known it was cancelled.

Ok apparently that isn't it.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Thank god it was cancelled

It would be cool if it was like WoW where you could pick a faction.

Instead of Horde and Alliance it would be UNSC and Covenant.

I would play as a grunt DPS or Brute tank.

Wow, I completely forgot about this. I'm glad they scrapped the project. Halo just doesn't fit the genre.

MMO's are kinda a dying breed anyway as their persistent elements make their way to the other genres. In fact, we've slowly seen more and more genres bleed into one another.

  • 12.08.2012 7:39 AM PDT

Definantly fake

  • 12.08.2012 7:40 AM PDT

I would buy it.

Least it's a better idea than the upcoming Halo Kinect dancing game.

deej pls

They need to make a Halo MMO FPS. I would buy it in an instant. Look at how good planet side is.

  • 12.08.2012 7:49 AM PDT

hmm

I'd probably buy it, just because it takes place in the Halo universe and all.

Recon Number 54 -
If they are still looking, then while holding the snarl, I let drool start to drip from my mouth, I stand, curl my fingers into claws and with a hunched over crouch, I then make slow and deliberate steps towards them. When I get close enough, I let them hear my agonized and gasping growls and then, if they continue to stare, when I get within arm's reach? I kiss them on the nose, and run away giggling.

That looks pretty fake...
