 What is El Dewrito? El Dewrito is a FREE mod for a Russian Halo game that was in production by Saber Interactive, this mod aims to bring full Halo 3 functionality and more PC features (dedicated servers, etc) to the game. They just released the first Major Update in almost 2 years and it brings an insane amount of content and polish that has been missing from previous releases. Download and Patch Notes  Microsoft has DMCA'd the download for Halo Online (the base game which is being modded) you will need to  it, and install the mod over it. https://www.reddit.com/r/HaloOnline/wiki/index/download Update 0.6 Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stf0XDmCAz4 Links Halo Online Website: https://eldewrito.com/ Halo Online Subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/HaloOnline/ Halo Online Discord: https://goo.gl/swrSNF Apparently, it's been OK'd for streaming, so if you want to check out some streams go to https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/Halo%20Online Suran37 fucked around with this message at 06:26 on Apr 26, 2018 |

I've been playing this over the last week and it's great so far, especially the endless variations on Infection.

It's not too hard to find a game as there's a lot of people playing, but the server browser sucks. As a workaround, open the console and type 'server.connect [IP address]'. There's a list of servers here: http://vicelio.thefeeltra.in/

It works pretty well, has some weird sound issues. I think it ought to be emphasized that this is less of a "mod" and more a standalone client altogether, so you don't even need to own any Halo stuff.

How close is this game to original Halo 3? I had the previous version downloaded for the longest time but I never got around to trying it out because if it was good I knew it was gonna sink hours of my life away. Halo 3 MP was literally my life in high school

Use this external browser and plug in what comes up in a prompt when selecting a server into the console, getting it with `.

I was a fat nerd hanging outside Gamestop at midnight for Halo 2 back in 2004. Probably put over a couple thousand hours into it and Halo 3 for the next 7 years. This isn't getting enough attention.

drat this owns. I tried it when 0.6 launched but never got into a game because the server browser was crap. Now they’ve fixed it and the game is awesome.

Apparently, Microsoft is just trying to remove links to the Halo Online code and not ElDewrito? Probably means they would have to start over and rebuild it all, waiting to see what the devs say.343i dude posted:BTW, we’re not “shutting down the mod” or going after the Eldewrito crew - we’re enacting action to remove the Halo Online code and packages from places it’s being hosted. The distinction may seem like semantics to a lot of folks, and I don’t blame them for assuming that, but to be clear, this is a legally necessary step to protect code, product, IP, trademarks and copyrights, and is not optional. We’re a publicly traded company, and we have a fiduciary and legal responsibility to our shareholders, and further, if we don’t take steps to protect it, then we actually run the legal risk of losing it - and there’s code and content in there that is still very much in use. Update: ElDewrito 0.6 will remain available, but the Halo Online core will need to be acquired via "unofficial" means. Development is halting until the team can have a proper talk with Microsoft/343i. http://blog.eldewrito.com/post/173283810663/microsofts-legal-action-and-the-future-of Suran37 fucked around with this message at 07:05 on Apr 25, 2018 |

No way. Reach multiplayer had those dumb abilities and the campaign characters were totally forgettable. ODST had firefight going for it but that was about it.

bigis posted:No way. Eh, I still have fonder memories of both campaigns than I do 3. Anyway, El Dewrito is still fun but the playerbase has definitely dropped in size over the last few days. I think a lot of people freaked out and misunderstood the action taken by Microsoft and assumed there wouldn't be a game to play anymore.
