Halo Online, the free-to-play online shooter coming to PC this spring in Russia only, has just received a brand-new gameplay video showcasing some intense multiplayer action, not to mention how solid the overall title looks, and how it already has an interface in English, despite the Russia focus.

Halo Online was revealed to the world quite surprisingly yesterday, being the first major Halo project that's coming to the PC even since Halo 2 many years ago.

The title is a multiplayer-only first-person shooter that's developed by Saber Interactive as a free-to-play experience in collaboration with Russian online company Innova, under the oversight of main Halo studio 343 Industries.

After hearing some details yesterday, an official gameplay video showcasing Halo Online in action has just appeared.

As you can see in the footage below, the first-person shooter retains the fluid multiplayer experience seen in recent Halo titles on the Xbox One or Xbox 360 platforms, and shows off how it translates for the PC. The game's interface relating to microtransactions and other such things is also portrayed, and as you can see it's still in English, despite the Russian focus, so a Western release of Halo Online for the PC in Europe or North America is possible in the future.
