Totally Halo! Totally NOT Halo!

OK! So, if you don't like Halo games (never did never will kinda dude) then get lost. If you like Halo games now, stick around. Aaaand, if you're like me and you LIVED for the OG Halo games when they rolled out and believe that Halo Reach was the last great game ever created and labeled under the name "Halo"...then grab a beer, some jerky (or tofu I guess), a seat, your favorite old sweaty stained console controller/trackball mouse, a bottle of Mt. Dew, bag of your favorite chips, and those prepare that old notepad full of old college console gaming comebacks!

Installation 01 - The fan-made Halo game for PC

So I don't make games, aside from pong and once a very poorly developed dig-dug like'ish (not really) game. BUT! Some dudes who were like, "what's this tower based stuff (No hate tower based game lovers, just didn't sit well with Halo in my opinion) that the Halo name is rolling out now?!?!" And snap, crackle, pop! POW! A fan made, Halo theme based game for PC! (Not Halo though, because that's trademarked and they would, I mean could, sue.)

Check it out guys! As of this post about 75,000 people have tried it out and about 600 signed up today!

Here's their website where you can find out more about the game and download it...get this...FOR FREE!:

Installation 01

P.S. Game is based off of Halo 2 and Halo 3, approved by 343 Industries (the creators of Halo), and runs on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux distros.

It looks pretty interesting. I would recommend looking at El Dewrito and what the talented guys over there are doing.

I think you meant Bungie ?

Actually, 343 Industries was created by Microsoft Studios, and was officially established in either 2007 or 2009 (can't remember which year exactly, sorry). 

Bungie was the original creator, yes. However the brand is currently owned by Microsoft Studios (via 343 Industries which is a company that was started by Microsoft Studios and also had its name based off "343" Guilty Spark from Halo 3). The brand was officially 343's property by 2011 and the release of Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary (although I think the first 100% created by 343 Industries Halo game was in fact Halo 4).

So yes, they were not the brand creator, but they are the current brand creators I suppose. I linked that tid-bit of information since it pertained to possible legal questions. Sorry, I should have worded myself more clearly.

I think he means the "OG" Halos were created by Bungie, in which I agree ?

It's interesting because I was just looking into El Dewrito yesterday - but found you needed an existing install of Halo to play it anyway, sadly. ?

Yeah, I think it's like a mod pack of some sort. Not sure, but I thought it was a mod pack for Installation 01, but I might be wrong there so don't quote me on that lol.
