Indie-built sidescroller Halo Zero was a big hit with PC gamers when it released in 2005, years later new independent Halo titles are jumping into the spotlight.

Halo-Battle, a French php-based strategy game set in the Halo universe, has recently launched online. Players, who may choose to fight for humanity or the alien Covenant, are tasked with resource gathering via mining facilities, building labs to research further technology, developing an army to do battle with the opposition and nearly everything else standard in RTS titles.

Beating Ensemble Studios to the punch with the RTS Halo-Battle, the game is available for free after registering a user name. We have yet to see it in action because of frequent site crashes, probably due to the popularity of the release. Keep in mine the entire site is French so it may be hard to navigate; a translation is apparently in the works.

Also released recently is the public beta for Halo Zero 2, which adds more weapons and better enemy A.I. than the original 2005 title.
