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.

I like their thinking..
For too long have Russians been playing on Euro Dota 2 servers. M$ obviously have some high up execs that play Dota on a regular basis.
Fed up with 'CYKA' being repeatedly yelled at them these execs have begun a global strategy to permanently segregate the Russian gaming community from the rest of the world.
The future of gaming is bright.
Does Russia have it's own Dota 2 servers? Or is it like SA where only Brazil has their own and surrounding countries ping horribly to it, so they connect to US East for some reason?

Honestly I think more games should have built in text translation. Dota 2 as Trip stated above is like a terrible experience at times. In US East for example we constantly get Peru/Argentinian/Other SA players that join up and absolutely refuse to speak English, despite playing in the "english preferred language" pool. Would be better to just translate it all on the fly so I can at least tell them that their "1337 March of Machine Tinker play is only denying our carry of farm and that when you finish 37-1 as Tinker and yet the team still loses, it's the Tinker's fault".

They have their own servers but they don't care for whatever reason.
I have an Aussie friend who regularly finds russians on the Australian server.

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.
