Halo Online is poised to become a kind of legend in the West. This is not due to the quality of the MMO shooter, but because the shooter fans in the West will probably never play it. However, here are 5 minutes of gameplay.
Numerous rumors and dramas are already unfolding around the Russian online offshoot of the legendary shooter franchise Halo. Modders are eager to play it from the West. Microsoft has a problem with that and is taking action against it.
But what is Halo Online really like? Are the players behind the no longer present Iron Curtain enjoying the shooter sensation and not sharing it with us? Well, it’s not quite like that. Halo Online is probably nothing particularly special, if you believe the testers. The huge aim markers particularly dampen the fun of the game. Otherwise, it seems to be a fast variant of the known patterns of Halo 3, which feels pretty decent without really blowing anyone away. The thrill likely comes from the fact that it is the first Halo in ages on PC and that you cannot play it in the West.
The fruits that one never tastes simply taste the best.
