Valve has removed a popular Halo 3 mod for Counter-Strike 2 from Steam, after its created was issued a DMCA takedown notice on behalf of Microsoft.
Project Misriah: Halo Ports was a collection of Counter-Strike 2 maps that recreated Halo 3’s multiplayer in Valve’s shooter sequel. Far more than just a map-pack, it aimed to replicate the specific feel of Halo 3’s multiplayer as closely as possible, Halo-fying its arsenal, adjusting mechanics like ballistics and gravity to better align with Halo’s Moon-hopping feel, and even throwing in authentic sound effects and announcer lines for good measure.
Sadly, that’s all over now. On X, Project Misriah cocreator Forddoyo posted an image of a DMCA takedown notice he had received from Microsoft via Valve.
