The team behind ElDewrito has released a new version for it that includes 6 additional maps from Halo 3. As the team noted, this update will allow players to play on all of the new maps present in the latest official release of Halo Online: High Ground, Last Resort, Narrows, Standoff, The Pit and Sandtra.
Do note that this milestone will be the last one for ElDewrito, as the team will switch focus to Anvil Online.
“This will be the last major release of ElDewrito made by the original team. We have decided to focus our collective efforts on an entirely new project called Anvil Online, which is a mod for Halo Online that has different design goals from ElDewrito. We will do our best to keep you updated on our progress on this project.”
Here is how you can install ElDewrito (do note that it requires the official Russian Halo: Online Beta (12.1.700255):
- Download the ElDewrito 0.5.0 installer from here and extract the archive to a new folder. You must have a completely clean Halo Online Alpha to install this update, and you can not have any mods installed.
- Run the installer, and in the box labeled “Step 1”, select the folder where you installed the latest official Halo: Online (version 12.1.700255) for the top box, and then select the folder where your clean alpha copy is for the second box.
- In the box labeled “Step 2”, click the “Verify & Install” button, then wait for the status label to display “Done!” in green letters.
Have fun everyone!

isnt halo trade marked?cant they be sued for this?
Disclaimer: No idea what I’m talking about.
They might be able to as long as they don’t earn any money from it. Its my only thought as to why these guys weren’t shut down yet.
yea but shouldnt halo tell then copyright ect..ect… and make them change their name?
Its always an option. I believe the original team behind it in Russia were going to make a profit from it, AFAIK, so they took it down. From the sounds of it these guys are going to release it completely free. I’m no pro at this stuff though so its my best guess.
yes halo is trademarked, MS originally kept taking all the links down but its a F2P game and its mostly kept alive through torrent sites anyways
