Microsoft got beaten!

A few years ago, a group started making a Halo-based RTs as a mod for Command and Conquer Generals: Zero Hour. Completely free, nonprofit, not even charity donations accepted.

A few days ago, Microsoft fired off a cease-and-desist letter, ordering them to shut down.

Halogen called their bluff, and won. They are stil moving forward.

Take that, Bill!

M$, what a bunch of bastards, suing mod makers for making a Halo-like mod.

where does it say otherwise ???? all I see are a bunch of comments complaining and pretending to be experts in copyright laws.

obob:
MS issue aside, this makes me want to actually A) buy C&C Generals and B) get this, as it looks like A) amazing and B) something i'd actually play (and I've only played Halo, and don't know the storyline all that well...)
