Halo Online Tests Suspended

It seems that Halo Online tests have been suspended after the game's client isn't reaching the desired mark that 343 desires. Halo Online is the free to play Halo game that for some reason only launched in Russia this past year and I've been on their mailing list just to keep up with things. The game has been developed by Saber Interactive which has worked on past Halo titles so it's been interesting to keep up with development in hopes it gets ported over to the West market without the use of a mod which is currently available. The writing from the email can be found translated roughly below.

Halo Online takes time out
Spartan, together with Microsoft, we suspend tests Halo Online, to significantly improve the game client. The tests will be resumed after the necessary changes will be made. The exact opening date we announced.

Will the items from the sets pervoispytateley after processing - is unknown. Therefore, we will return the money for the purchase of kits in full to the accounts of users and choose one of the payment options. You can just get the money back, but you can get the money to an account in Fogeyme and take advantage of other benefits.

We, along with 343 Industries apologize to all the players Halo Online and especially to those who helped us in testing and development of the project . We hope that when we open it again , you'll be with us!
