Halo Online for PC announced - in Russia Only Though

Halo Online will launch this spring, only in Russia. It's designed to run well on lower-end PCs. There's no campaign mode, but the game is set on a secret UNSC space station called "Anvil" where Spartans train together and test new technology.

Microsoft today announced Halo Online, a PC-exclusive free-to-play title that will launch in Russia only. Click to enhance. The development of the game will be handled by Saber Interactive, who previously helped develop Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary edition and the recently released, Halo: The Master Chief Collection. 343 Industries will oversee the project. Halo Online will be based after the events of Halo 3. It will feature classic weapons and vehicles from previous Halo games, as well as a bout of fan favorite maps. The game will be powered by a modified version of the Halo 3 engine. As of yet, Microsoft has no plans to release the game outside of Russia.

Dota 2 actually has a Peruvian server now.
I play a lot of Dota 2 and I only play on US East with English set to my perferred language. Maybe 1 out of 10 games I get english speaking teammates.

That's probably kinda nice. That way you won't be bothered by the stream of rage text thrown at you. I might have to give foreign servers a try

Yeep, this is pretty much my experience, I don't know about 1-10 but probably half the games I get people who don't speak any English. It's really frustrating, I think translations would help though, at least for basic communications.

You still get the stream of rage text, you just can't read it.

You can always mute people, but its impossible to coordinate any kind of strategy with people that you can't understand.

As soon as I see "JAJAJAJA" they go on my mute list.

if you value any of your personal data, russian servers (and those from other former soviet states) should be avoided IMHO - you have been warned
