Microsoft takes down mod that re-created Halo 3 in Counter-Strike 2

I saw it last month release of the Misriya projectan ambitious modding project that tried to recreate the feeling Halo 3 inside Valve Counter-Strike 2. However, this project was removed from the Steam Workshop after it was drawn Digital Millennium Copyright Act complaint from Microsoft.

Frodoyo mud presented the Misriya project on November 16. as “master collection” Halo ported maps and resources, the purpose of which is to bring Halo 3 multiplayer experience for Counter-Strike 2” It's not easy to get inspired Halo 3The mod directly copied many sound effects, character models, maps, and even movement mechanics from the popular Bungie and Microsoft series.

In the weeks since then, the Misriya project has received much praise from both sides. Halo fans and those who are impressed by what modders can accomplish with the Source 2 engine. But last Wednesday, modder Froddyo shared a DMCA request from Microsoft with reference to “unauthorized use Halo game content in [Steam] workshop not associated with Halo games.”

A trailer announcing Project Misriah was released last month.

In a social media post sharing this DMCA text, Froddoyo lamented that players should “definitely thank Microsoft” for the project's fate. But in commentary on the Project Misriah trailer on YouTubeFroddoyo noted that once removed, the project “will not work or load in the future. But hey, it was fun while it lasted. Thanks to all the players and supporters [the] project. We’ll use the knowledge and skills we gain from this to cook something else!”
