YouTube’s ‘Sergiu Daniel’ is currently working on a fan remake of the first Halo game in Unreal Engine 4. While this project is still at a very early stage, Daniel released a video showing the progress that he has made so far.
In its current version, this remake allows players to equip Masterchief with all the weapons and supports proper firing mechanics. There aren’t any enemies and I’m pretty sure there aren’t any levels yet (apart from this WIP level showcased here). So yeah, and as I said, this is at a really early stage.
Now I know that Microsoft wants to protect its Halo IP and that the Masterchief collection may one day come to the PC, so I’m not pretty sure whether Daniel will be able to finish this project before receiving a C&D letter. Not only that, but such a remake is a huge task for a single developer so – again – I’m not sure if Daniel will be able to even complete a demo of it.
Still, this video shows this guy’s dedication so it is at least interesting. It’s also a clever way to show one’s skills so perhaps this video may help him to land a job at a studio some day.
Enjoy!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Cool progress so far. Let me know when he gets a cease and desist.
“a clever way to show one’s skills so perhaps this video may help him to land a job at a studio some day”
– the only reason.
Someone is about to get a C&D.
Also, if this is your way of trying to get noticed to get a job? Then you’re hilariously out of your league, as you are oblivious to the regular avenues for such things.
These stupid fan projects are for nothing more than some attention, and to get people’s hopes up and watch them squirm.
It worked for the P.T. remake on Windows kid. He got an internship at Konami.
indeed.
Those who make such fan project remakes, are pretty well aware than only JOHN is going to give them attention, because he is mentally “obsessed” with UE4 and the said remakes, so they know their project will get some attention only here on DSOG.
But, these are just useless/worthless remakes, and they don’t even deserve a separate article on them. Lmao.
Microsoft:”Here you go Daniel..” https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/98560ff73bfa3e56f66921e7dc296e562691d28c0f92b2f5405b1447b0d6482c.gif
I suppose I’m only chiming in with the crowd once again, but,
yeah: they’re going to take it down very quickly, and whatever he’s hoping to accomplish… I don’t see it.
I mean the original Halo engine, notwithstanding the remakes that have been done since, and all the enhancements (I just played the completely rebuilt/ modified one on the Master Chief Collection, maybe a month ago, so, what would be the point in doing this to begin with, in Unreal Engine?
it’s not even going to be equal to what exists…I guess if you’re looking for work, and you want to get noticed by the people you’d like to work for,
this is a good route to go,
but it’s going to be a lot of work, only to get stopped in its tracks…
I just wish we could once and for all get the halo series on the PC from Microsoft.
Everything gets competition but we don’t as PC gamers i wish Apple or a distro of Linux would become 30% of the gaming PC market!
