It looks coo, awesme and I really want to play it, but
inb4 M$ cease and desist.
The original tech video was posted over a year ago with 100k views and they have this in the description:
"Project-Contingency was created under Microsoft's "Game Content Usage Rules" using assets from Halo. It is not endorsed by Microsoft and does not reflect the views or opinions of Microsoft or anyone officially involved in producing or managing Halo. As such, it does not contribute to the official narrative of the fictional universe."
So assuming this is true the project will be fine, Command & Conquer Renegede X is a remake of the original MP game and EA had no issues with them doing this as long as they didn't make money which is what these guys are doing too.
There is no way MS will (or should ( allow some random company to profiteer off of their most iconic franchise. This game will never exist, and shouldn't. It would be like someone making tlou and uncharted using assets from it, why would Sony allow that?
The devs and publishers put thousands and thousands of man hours and millions of dollars into these franchises, there is no reason this is ok.

They're not making money, you didn't read the very end of my comment.
"Project Contingency is a free to play project, being developed by a group of volunteers. It is a free to play game, with absolutely no money being involved with it. We currently are not accepting donations."
Very interested in this. Microsoft should give them their permission on this with out delay!
This is awesome, woww I'm really impressed with those gun models! They look amazing.
It would be so damn awesome if MS allowed them to publish on the xbox one as an indie game! I would legitimately buy it.
That would require them to have a bit of funding for the port.
They aren't allowed to make any money off this title. Full free to play, the second they start making money is when MS steps in.
One thing that many PC gamers will attest to is the severe lack of Halo in their gaming lives (provided they game exclusively on PC).
With only the original Halo: Combat Evolved and its sequel, Halo 2, available for PC, and with the upcoming release of Xbox One-exclusive Halo: The Master Chief Collection, PC gamers are sure to feel the pain within the Master Chief-less void in their lives come November 11th.
Fortunately, a team of Halo fans and indie game developers have been hard at work on a particularly interesting Halo project for PC called Project Contingency - a fan-made, free-to-play, massively multiplayer online Halo video game that runs on CryEngine 3.
Project Contingency was recently thrust into the spotlight after passing for leaked Halo 5 screenshots. Here is an early preview and dubbed Halo 5 for PC, this is one fan made game that deserves the title.
This project is super old, most likely vaporware by now. Just like Project Venerance, there hasn't been updates in a long time.
Dear Microsoft, if you dare touch this game with a C&D, then so help me god i will make you see halos :|
Crazy that people are making these games for free, just because there are fans....and there are multiple projects like these!
