RTS Halo Mod Stopped by Microsoft

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Saturday September 9, 2006 @10:32AM from the harshing-your-groove dept.

Headcase88 writes "Microsoft has officially asked the creators of Halogen to stop development at once. Halogen was an RTS mod being developed by Halo fans for the past three years. From the website: ' I was going to write a big sappy letter here, but what's the point. So..that's it then, I guess. The forums, site, and Moddb profile will all be shut down within the week. I can't say it hasn't been fun. It's a shame it has to end like this, but I suppose that's how it goes. Thanks, guys, for all the time you've spent supporting us. It's been a pleasure. We hate this as much as you do.' "

Or maybe they just hadn't heard of it until now. I certainly hadn't.

Except they weren't modding Halo, they were modifying a completely different game using Halo assets.
