Installation 01
Installation 01 is an upcoming fan-made first-person shooter video game based on the Halo series, developed by Soon Studios (previously known as The Installation 01 Team) for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems in Unity. Development Installation 01 is a fan-made, multiplayer-only project designed in Unity for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux by Soon Studios. The intent is to replicate the multiplayer gameplay of Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 4, and Halo 5 as a tribute to the series of games—with a specific target of Halo 3—and to do so without re-use of Microsoft assets. The game is named after the Halo ring created by the Forerunner race in the Halo universe. The studio planned to support some features from later Halo games, but only in custom game modes. Game artist Seth H. described a tension in the art and game design of Installation 01 caused by the Halo series' individual game designs. They plan to provide map-making tools. An extremely-early version of the game was displayed in August 2014. In November 2015, the game was displayed with functional multiplayer in "very small counts" of players; Kotaku noted that the game had not progressed far since
