A Halo fan project has finally been able to give a release timeframe for their game. Contingency plans on delivering their Halo game to the community as soon as possible and this video dives deep into the history of the project as well as what they have in store for the future.
From Galaxy of Combat to Contingency, the game has seen many updates over the past decade. BVG Studios begun the tremendous endeavour and now the Contingency team hopes to take the dream and make it a reality.
Halo: Infinite may be coming to PC alongside the Xbox but that won’t stop this team to deliver their Halo multiplayer experience.

The Bean is now reporting on fan games. Full circle.
Cool
It's amazing to see the project my friends have been slaving over for the longest time get closer and closer to completion. I've seen how much work they've put into it, and I am ecstatic to see the final product, as I hope everyone who watches this video is too.
i'll pass
They forgot the reload animations
I love how when you reload the shotgun, the shells just basically crawl into the gun
walking noise is very loud and obnoxious
Looks very promising
Damn I wasn’t expecting a history lesson. A surprise, but a welcome one for sure.
Holy crap, Contingency is Galaxy of Combat?
my god they've done, sons of biches gunna make me cry
Talk about fan games as halo coral please
Aside from the obvious issues like the footsteps and some of the animations not playing, this looks pretty smooth. I dig it.
Thanks for reaching out to talk about BVG history! It was a massive nostalgia blast for me
Not a fan of the 343-esque visuals, also not sure why they would add hit markers and grenade indicators given how much people dislike them.
shotgun bullets go brrr
Holy s, I remember when the first trailer was uploaded to youtube
I remember when that first trailer was uploaded and it got me so hyped. I couldn't believe it was entirely made by fans. I'm amazed this project survived and is actually gonna be playable.
Reminds me of older quake games more than halo in its current incarnation, albeit I dont think thats necessarily a bad thing
so all they did was just make something that plays exactly like h3 and other stuff we already know and played for 1+ years? You're kidding lmao. why play this when i can play h3
Mod Support for MCC can't come soon enough.
With it all these Halo fan projects like I01, SPV3, Contingency and so many more will become MCC's greatest assets for long-term success.
Looks great but oml the running noise is really annoying
Holy crap, time flies. I remember seeing this all the way back then! I thought it died!
N I C E
awesome video man, im excited to check this out 🙂
Graphics and optimization look great, walking sounds are terrible and hopefully just a placeholder. Hit markers? This is supposed to be Halo, not CoD….
When the shotgun shoots, it fires single bullets in really fast succession, not a bunch of bullets all at once. There's also a lot of physics jank with the grenades and the 'needler'. I'm also not super sure about the weapon balancing, since it seems like the guns simultaneously kill too fast, and too slowly. The lighting work is pretty not-great too. And that's ignoring the obvious sound issues. I have no idea how they are expecting a March 2021 launch for this.
I'm all for supporting but will it be on Xbox?
Yeah, um…. how does this even exist still?
I mean, we all know how Halo Online went down. How is Microshit even allowing this, unless the just don't know about it yet?
In which case, maybe we should all shut up about it until it actually comes out, so it doesn't get sniped down, eh?
"as most fan projects end up being shortlived, and/or stuck in development hell"
i01 flashbacks commemce
I wish 343i would hire them to make a spin off Halo just for classic halo multiplayer.
The footsteps
Hey bean when is i01 coming out
Can't wait man!
"Here the latest footage", hungry jacks and pops up.
Sound design and animations need some serious work, otherwise this looks very close to finally giving pc halo fans a great halo experience.
Of course, this is still nto yet finished. Its still a little janky, lacking reload animations and grenade animations. Gun sounds are meh.
I think this needs a little more work, as the release month if it is in March, is only 2 to less months away. Other than that, I think this Halo fan game will be alright
I grew up playing Halo as well, always wanted to do something like this but I ended up just creating my own project so I could play with my own ideas, anyone who cares can try it at repuls dot io…
WARNING to the hardcore gamers: I'm no artist, my goal was gameplay first and with over 50k players a month, I'm quite proud of it!
@TheChunkieBean, I'd love your opinion as well.. so long as its not on the gfx.. I'll improve it with time
Whoever was playing got their shit rocked
So.. What's the point? Gameplay is just bootleg H2A matchmaking.
imagine a bf1 operations but with halo. that would be so cool
I don't know how such a big project has way less attention than a few halo 3 mods but I'mm be keeling my eye on it now
Man last time I heard of this was on an HCE Extinction match, people were talking about it and I joined the conversation, after the match i looked it up and haven't heard of it since
This beauty has less than 2077 bugs… you know what that means. xD
