Halo fan game Installation 01 gets its first cinematic trailer

The creators of Installation 01, the fan created Halo tribute, have released a new cinematic trailer for their game, revealing a lot of classic Halo gameplay loops with familiar weapons and enhanced graphics. 

This game is currently being developed on the Unity 5 engine, with plans to release on PC, Mac and Linux, with plans to release with a dedicated launcher. This game si designed to give a similar multiplayer experience to Bungie-Era Halo games like Halo 2 and 3, though some mechanics from Combat Evolved and Reach will be included in the title. 

Installation 01 is designed to run on a wide range of hardware and OS combinations, coming with less than stellar visuals but exactly what most PC gamers would want from a modern interpretation of classic Halo multiplayer. The game’s visuals will continue to be developed over time, through the refinement of the title’s gameplay and balance is currently the priority. 

 

 

This project is entirely legal, as the developers of the game are carefully following Microsoft’s Game Content Usage rules. 

Everything in the game is fan-made and nothing is taken from the original Halo games, the game will also be completely free. No money has or will be earned by the developers of the game, making this a pure passion project.  

 

Our work is completely legal. We are carefully following the rules set forth in Microsoft’s Game Content Usage Rules. No content in our game has been “ripped,” it’s all handmade by our team. http://www.xbox.com/en-us/developers/… 

Our Goal is to bring a unique Halo multiplayer experience to Windows, Mac, and Linux. We hope to combine the best elements from each Halo game, this project’s focus is on the more classic gameplay style.

 

Players of Installation 01 will need to use the game’s dedicated launcher and will need to log into the game using a Google account, with the launcher providing automatic updates for the title. This launcher will change over time as the game approaches its final release. 

 

 

At this time Installation 01 has no set release date, though the most recent information on the title will be available on the game’s official website.
