Check Out Halo Online's Graphics, Customization, and More in First Trailer

Following yesterday's surprise announcement, the first trailer for free-to-play PC Halo game Halo Online has now surfaced. In it, we get a look at the game's graphics, gameplay, and weapons, as well as its extensive customization and monetization systems.

Halo Online runs on a "highly modified" version of Halo 3's engine and has been optimized to run well even on lower-end machines. The game looks pretty great in the trailer above, but of course, we don't know the specs for the PC rig it's running on.

Expected to launch through a closed beta later this spring, Halo Online is in development exclusively for Russia. Microsoft has not ruled out a release for the game in North America, but made no promises.

After taking a look at the game, what do you think? Would you be interested in playing it if it were released in the United States? For me, it would come down to the pricing model. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
