YouTube’s ‘TheChunkierBean’ has released a pre-alpha gameplay teaser for Installation 01; a new Halo fan game for the PC, Linux and Mac that will be available for free. This project originally started in 2013, and the game will be most probably powered by the Unity Engine.
As TheChunkierBean noted:
“Installation 01 is a fan game created by Halo fans from all over the world. The aim of this project is to be both an artistic tribute to Halo and a fun way to experience Halo on PC, Mac and Linux free and legally. Our primary goal is to recreate the multiplayer experience of the Halo trilogy, bringing in features from all Halo games to make the ultimate multiplayer sandbox”
Now I know most of you will be wondering whether Microsoft will send the team a C&D letter. Well, it appears that the team will be able to avoid such a thing as everything used in Installation 01 will not use any assets from the Halo games.
“We are abiding by Microsoft’s Fair Use Policy and their Game Content Usage Rules. Everything in the game is fan created and can be legally downloaded and distributed in accordance with the Game COntent Usage Rules. We are not out to make any money, even to cover costs. The work is all a labor of love, our team gets nothing in return except the satisfaction of making the ultimate Halo tribute, and some portfolio building.”
Enjoy the pre-alpha gameplay teaser and stay tuned for more!

I love the work people put into this stuff, but almost none of these ‘Halo on PC’ projects have actually been finished. Needless to say, this looks pretty rough compared to other projects like Glassed or Project Contingency (both of which are near beta stage).
I’ve never heard of glassed but didnt contingency die out or something?
Nah, they’re currently working on their next update. Still keeping pretty busy
It looks disgusting on Unity.
Why aren’t they using UE4? It’s superior in pretty much every single way, and now it’s 100% free if you’re not releasing a commercial product.
STFU you 24/7 complainer. Just be thank full somebody is taking the time to do this since BIG M$ can’t do it for the Platform that keeps them alive.
Why should I be thankful when it looks like garbage, will probably play like garbage + has a high chance of not even happening.
Seems you can’t stand people giving any sort of criticism to sh*t you like.
Just STFU and SIT THE F”k DOWN!
Dude is this how you argue with people? “AYYY LMAO JUST SHUT UP”
Yeah, Unity tries hard to equal UE4 but it always look more artificially. And it’s paid in its better version! Why even use it if you have free UE4?
Probably will never see the light of day also ew Unity
Amazing how one man can take this one. Yet M$ can’t have it done on PC. M$ is to busy playing everybody on a PC like a fool. Still no news about that free “DX12” game Fable Legends…
1) It isn’t one man. There’s a team of 20 and they need more people
2) Still no news? It’s in closed beta right now.
Don’t defend MS… They are playing the world as suckers.. yeah no news on release.
I’m not defending mate. I’m a tester for the closed beta. They aren’t going to release a date if they don’t know. That would be dumb
Really, just buy Halo PC for like $3 and play the multi… This labor of love seems pointless after watching that video…
