Unfortunately it appears that the Halo Digsite team has collapsed due to disagreements with how Microsoft views the community and too many requirements on the team even though they were all volunteers (lemmy.world)

For those OOTL, Digsite was/is a team of volunteers from the Halo modding community who were given special access to official dev repositories by Microsoft and Halo Studios for Halo CE, 2, 3, and Reach. They have made quite a few releases since forming a little over a year ago including the full recreation of the Halo 2 E3 2004 demo, cut Halo Reach vehicles added to forge, and tons of cut CE content being re-added, all as mods on PC.

Microsoft try not to burn out developers challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

This is such a shame. This whole team were people working on it as volunteers as a passion project and it sounds like MS wanted too many things from them.

We might still see stuff from the now much smaller team, but the pace is going to be very different I’d imagine:

Edit:

Another post from a team member that explains the issues much better, they’re all discussing it on Twitter, apologies for bad screenshots

Yikes.
