Taken the comments of the game in stride, the Installation 01 team began moving forward to making the game much more playable and visually pleasing. Fans were expecting much more from the fan project after what seemed like a decent amount of months of development.

CE3 2014 aired on July 19, 2014, with Installation 01 as one of the applications shown and presented by TheChunkierBean and 343iChurch.Īfter the event ended, Installation 01 was met with some negative criticism. Only two guns were present in the demo: the Assault Rifle and the Sniper Rifle. Each game hosted could support a maximum of 16 players. The CE3 demo consisted of 1 multiplayer map (a remake of High Ground) and only had the option of Slayer for gamemodes. Surprisingly, the Installation 01 team managed to find a coder and prepared a demo in less than 5 days. Many things, from coders departing to many members becoming too busy with their own personal lives. However, many pitfalls occurred during the months leading up to the livestream. The Installation 01 team quickly grew in numbers and began preparing for their first public demo for the Halo: Custom Edition livestream known as CE3.ĭuring the year of 2014, most of the Installation 01 team's focus was CE3 2014.

This essentially sounds like a Halo tech demo for Windows VR, then. That’s all the information we have for now, but expect a decent look to pop up online relatively soon. That said, we don’t have anything to share. We’re just scratching the surface of the potential of technologies like mixed reality, and we’ll consider it if we can find the right experiences that would be authentic to the Halo universe, to Halo fans, and make best use of the technology. We asked Microsoft whether this was the entirety of its Halo plans and received the following statement in response: It’s developed by 343 Industries, the team behind Halo 4 and 5, and will offer you a glimpse of your favorite characters in VR. It will be a free, albeit brief experience designed to introduce players to the possibilities of Halo in VR. Halo Recruit is coming to all Windows VR headsets at launch on Oct. A few weeks back we caught word that Microsoft’s iconic Halo franchise would be coming to its new line of Windows 10 VR headsets, which are made by partners such as Asus and Dell, though we didn’t know in what form.
