In November, a modder going by the name Froddoyo released Project Misriah, which used Valve's Counter-Strike 2 as a medium to recreate Halo 3. The mod was well-received by fans, but apparently not by Microsoft itself. Microsoft filed a takedown request with Valve, and the latter complied.Froddoyo described Project Misriah as "a workshop collection of Halo ported maps and assets that aims to bring a Halo 3 multiplayer-like experience to Counter-Strike 2." It also directly lifted character models, maps, gameplay mechanics, and sound effects from Halo 3, which may have contributed to Microsoft's desire to have the mod removed.Froddoyo shared the takedown on X, and wrote, "It was fun while it lasted. Make sure to give your thanks to Microsoft!"Well... sorry guys but project misriah is done! It was fun while it lasted. Make sure to give your thanks to @microsoft! pic.twitter.com/7xLjTy3rjH — Froddoyo (@Froddoyo) December 10, 2025In a separate comment posted on the trailer's YouTube page, Froddoyo thanked players for supporting the mod but noted that it will not uploaded again. In a more hopeful message, Froddoyo added, "We will use the knowledge and skills obtained from this to cook up something else!"It's unclear if Microsoft has any plans to revisit Halo 3 or any of the other classic games in the franchise beyond the first one. The original Halo: Combat Evolved is getting a modern remake called Halo: Campaign Evolved, which will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the franchise while launching simultaneously on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 in 2026. There are reportedly other unannounced Halo games currently in the works, but it's unclear what Halo Studios will release after Campaign Evolved.
