ElDewrito is (was?) a community-made mod for Halo Online, the cancelled free PC game based on Halo 3 Microsoft built for the Russian market.
ElDewrito lets you play multiplayer games in player-hosted servers, with multiple server browsers, player and emblem customisation, stat tracking and even ranked and social servers.
Now, Halo custodian 343 Industries has signalled Microsoft has lawyered up. In a post on Halo Waypoint, 343 said Microsoft had "initiated actions to protect its Halo intellectual property", which sounds a bit like Skynet sent the Terminator after the modders.
Today we want to let our community know that Microsoft has initiated actions to protect its Halo intellectual property in the wake of the recent “ElDewrito” PC release. Community created content has long been a key pillar in the Halo franchise
Good on you, M$. Fans are so passionate about the series that they take it upon themselves to bring the MP to PC, but instead of going "damn, why don't we just release some actual games on PC again?", you try to kill this project and say fuck it. Bravo. It's not like bringing Halo MP to PC wouldn't print money for you or anything...
I guess they're afraid because of how disastrous Halo 2 was on PC (which was 100% M$'s fault as well for anyone who remembers.)
"No, we are not going to put it out in pc. No, we are not going to allow you to make it yourselves. Oh stop crying, here you have an underdeveloped halo forge."
The sad part is that there is people that is going to defend this
You people need to relax. Halo 6 will be on PC and also Xbox is launching a streaming service so every single Xbox game will finally be available on PC. Your dreams will be fulfilled
Good to see an accurate headline. Eldewrito has not been shut down--you can still download it and play it. Microsoft is just taking steps to end development and updates.
The Halo 3 engine does a fine job
Microsoft is so stupid!
Why announce this now? why not reveal this after halo 5 launches? some times ms baffles me.
damm wish it comes to NA/EU
My 360 is dead, I don't have/want an Xbox One and I don't like to pay for Xbox Live so please bring this to the rest of the world!
It's Russia because piracy is an even bigger problem there apparently.
