I thought maybe it was time to start a forum discussion on ''[[Halo Online]]''. I have found [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy1jbrrMfZc this video on Youtube]. I'm currently watching it, so I don't know if it shows anything new, but it's pretty interesting so see how the game's graphics come from both ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 4''.

:I was a bit confused by the decision to make a Halo game, even multiplayer-only, exclusive to Russia. Not because I have anything against Russia specifically (though I do wish they'd stop needling Ukraine) but because I would expect it to make massive amounts of money for a worldwide release. But I've seen a few arguments that have helped me understand. Firstly, it probably won't stay exclusive to Russia if it does well there. Saber Interactive have offices in Russia, making them on-hand to handle the maintenance side of things. There's also the fact that Russia has a low adoption rate of the Xbox, which means that it won't be competing with Microsoft's own products.
:As for what I've seen of the game itself, it looks good. It looks like Halo 3, but with sprint. I've seen some hints at weapon customisation, and the video you linked here says that players can "rent" super weapons for a given number of credits earned/bought which seem like it would be annoying for other players but something that keeps them playing, I suppose.
:I don't think I'd play it, myself. I'm a campaign guy. But I think this is a good thing, and I hope it does well. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 01:18, 28 March 2015 (EDT)

Right now it's just in Beta. I highly doubt they're going to be it Russia-exclusive; they just want a certain place to test it. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuLw7wtmNOI Eventually they'll want moar money], and that means bringing Halo Online everywhere else.

:I agree it'll probably come out worldwide soon enough — the talk about keeping it exclusive to Russia is probably just to build up hype. I personally have no interest in the game itself (due to it being multiplayer only ''and'' free-to-play with microtransactions and gameplay-affecting upgrades) so the exclusivity or lack thereof doesn't bother me either way. I'll be consuming any new bits of lore it contains though. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 12:13, 29 March 2015 (EDT)
