Diabetes makes you unattractive to girls. This makes you so miserable that you are forced to "steal" free online Russian Halo. This makes Microsoft cry and Photek angry.

It's just the sort of thing someone might say when they've got a lot of growing up to do. I personally found that to be quite distasteful, my Granddad is diabetic and not only that it's a relatively common disease.

One weird trick to playing Halo 3 online without microtransactions! Microsoft hate this, watch the video before they take it down!

So has this not been officially released in Russia? I thought it had. How did the modders get hold of the codebase?

With regards to the piracy thing. I'm generally anti-piracy, but morality is a personal thing, and everyone draws the line in a different place. For example, I'd say that if there is no way for you to legitimately pay money for a piece of media, then you're not hurting the copyright owner to pirate it.

I have the full Sky Sports and BT Sports package, there is no way for me to legally watch 3pm Saturday games in the UK - Is watching them on a stream morally wrong? What about VPNing my way to them via an overseas subscription? Am I a pirate if I subscribe to Fox Soccer in the US?

I'd never take for free, something that I can and should pay for. But when Microsoft are turning their backs on the millions of Halo fans in Europe and the US then I don't see a moral issue with people looking for a way to circumvent that. How big is the Russian Halo community anyway? Did they even want this game?

Just gave this a go and it's the Halo I always wanted; 60fps, no jaggies, mouse aiming. Getting used to the floatiness is hard, but it's satisfying melee-ing cheeky banana splits out of the air as they jump at you.

Thanks for the title change! I had no idea this had been modded to work for everyone.

I really enjoyed Halo 1 on the PC so I'll certainly give this a go! Also I just caught up on Photek. :fp: :lol:

I am a little hesitant to try this due to some apparent security issues but once this gets the green light in general I'll be all over it.
