For lidt under halvandet år siden kunne vi bringe en meget interessant nyhed, nemlig afsløringen af Halo Online, et multiplayer-skydespil baseret på den berømte serie, som var bygget i Halo 3-grafikmotoren. Det mærkeligste var dog, at spillet kun sigtede efter det russiske marked.
Nu har udviklerene Ensemle Studios og Saber Interactive afsløret, at spillet er blevet aflyst helt. Dette skyldes eftersigende at Microsoft ikke har været helt tilfredse med produktet der gik i beta for tre måneder siden.
"We have told you that the [development] break would be temporary and [work on] the game would start again soon. Like you, we have been waiting for news about development and hoped for an announcement soon. But for the past six months, our colleagues at Microsoft have not made decisions on the future of the project. Now only one thing is known--the game in its current form will not be released."
