While modders had initially planned to make the last "major update" of the game Version 0.5, which released in 2016, development of the mod continued, and Version 0.6 of the mod was released on April 20, 2018, featuring a functional server browser, player customization, stat tracking, and ranked and social servers, as well as dedicated server and player host options, and map and gametype voting. Over several years, the mod ElDewrito was developed by fans to allow the game to be played worldwide and without microtransactions, keeping it alive after its cancellation in 2016. Soon after the game's beta release, modders enabled a leaked build of the game to work both offline and over LAN, with VPN solutions such as Tunngle used to provide online multiplayer. Microsoft stated that data from the cancelled game would be applied to any future Halo games on PC, but did not specify further details. Halo Online's official servers were taken offline in December 2015, and the game was originally scheduled to launch sometime in 2016, but was cancelled after a long hiatus, with the game's developers citing delays from Microsoft, who "failed to make decisions on the future of the project". The gameplay is heavily based on the multiplayer mode of Halo 3. However, through the installation of fan-made mod known as ElDewrito, it also contains a Forge mode where players can create custom maps. Halo Online is multiplayer-only and does not have a single-player campaign. Halo Online takes place on Anvil, a secret UNSC space installation where both the Spartan-IV soldiers and the Sangheli (Elites) train for combat in simulated wargames with experimental weapons and armors.
