Microsoft teases a ‘classic Halo’ PC experience after killing fan mod

The Halo series has stuck close to its Xbox home over the years, but that could change. Microsoft says it is considering bringing an older Halo game to the PC. This comes after the company made moves to shut down a community-made mod called ElDewrito that enabled players to run the canceled Russian-only Halo Online.

Developer 343 Industries, which runs the Halo series, was making Halo Online as a free-to-play PC version of Halo 3. The studio ran a beta for it in Russia in 2015, but it pulled the plug on the project not long after that. ElDewrito revived the game, and Microsoft and 343 posted a blog explaining why it has asked ElDewrito to cease development.
