everyone remembers cnc zh mod, HALOGEN right?
and yes everyone knows that bungie banned the mod.
why the freakin' hell did they ban the mod? it's not like the developers are gonna sell it or anything, the purpose of the mod was to make halo into an RTS game. there's no harm in the original game right, i mean look at this:
and after seeing that you might be saying that the people from bungie are assholes for shutting down the mod. i can't agree with it more. bungie just want to keep the game for themselves. they just can't give credit to HALO products and stuff like that. and if ever there is someone out there crying his ass out because this mod was banned, someone's gotta tell bungie to let the developers relaunch the mod.

It's a shame Halogen was axed, it looked like it was going to be a great mod.
I did some research into it being closed down about 2 years ago, and it was actually Microsoft that forced the Halogen developers and Bungie to stop making the mod.
If I remember correctly Microsoft threatened the Halogen team with a cease and desist order, (basically if they didn't cease making the mod, Microsoft would take them to court and sue them, for quite a lot of money). Of course the Halogen developers didn't want to risk getting sued, so they had to stop making the mod.
Some of the Halogen team then went on to create the Asylum mod for CNC3. It's still being created, but it's looking impressive. It's hosted on this forum here: Forum.falloutstudios.net
You might want to try downloading that when they finish making it, to fill the void left by Halogens closure.

of course i'm gonna download it. i have cnc3 on my pc after all. i am hoping that the guys from asylum will make use of some concepts from halo for the mod.
i see why they banned the mod. they banned it because no one will buy halo wars if the gamers find halogen, and MS and bungie don't want that to happen.
sorry to say but bungie supported them only microsoft saw the money in this and went rampage by shutting down this promising mod.
