In what way? How on earth can they get 'all over' Bungie for providing a service? They haven't infringed anybody's anything.
Anyway, having recently purchased a cheap and cheerful (but good quality) generic video cap card off eBay I was just thinking 'oh great!' as I saw this news item but reading it through has calmed my fears. A pay-per-cap video system is preposterous and not at all viable for somebody that wants to make a lengthy film project, have you ever heard of a montage made entirely using films purchased from eatHalo? In fact, seeming as that service is also pay-per-view, why doesn't everyone that cannot use the 'render' feaure 'til July just use that site instead? To anybody reading that was holding back for this system to enable themselves to make a machinima, just bite the bullet and get a capture card. It's also a lot more flexible, this feature from Bungie is more like the MLG GameRoom with Gamevee strapped on top, and considering the complications with lengths of film etc, multiple angle based productions become impossible.
I'm not entirely surprised though - think of the route Bungie (MS) took with the Mythic maps - tying their release to two different video games, although of course that is beyond their control, which makes me wonder if this feature is also controlled by higher powers...

To be fair though, it will be the best quality free-ish Halo 3 video service around, and you have to give Bungie credit for the concept, I can't think of any other company that panders to the movie editing community as much!


Why are you complaining already? Think of the time and effort this feature will cut for us? Before if I just had an amazing neverbeforeseen kill I'd have to buy a capture card, record the film, edit the film and then upload it to a video hosting site. Now all I have to do is put in my fileshare and BLAM! Its right there for viewing pleasure. I know it wont be ideal for machinimas or montages right now but I'm sure Bungie have taken that into consideration and are working on a way around that. Just be thankful for this sweet update and Love Bungie X

God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

Interesting...Although members will spam the forums with their videos.

Somewhere out there... in an alternate reality... Marty decided to stay in the ad jingle business, bringing about an age of amazingly orchestrated Pampers commercials.

Woot! Congratulations to the beta testers.

(And I should've known it comes out on Bungie day!)

No fair Lane and Turtle, you know right when the update will be up. :(

Awesome Beta, too bad I'm not eligible, I got my Pro from Mythic.

Chief vs the scarab? I find that hard to believe to roundhouse boot the scarab's figurative emotion out of the gaming zone.

YES!!!

I'm so glad I'm a paid subscriber. Seeing that little red "beta" on my films just made my day.

Now I just need to figure out what I want to render first.

Thank you.

If I had one wish for Bungie.net, it would be to be able to change my username. Even if it cost me Microsoft Fun-Money, Space Bucks, or Stosh Dollars. That is all.

Question: Will we eventually be able to use PayPal to get more points?
Question: Does this mark the subtle return of the Bungie Store?

The fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you.

I`m really excited about this. What is annoying is that I already have B pro from the mythic maps.

Another thing are we going to have to pay for Bungie Points as well as B pro?

  • 05.12.2009 3:35 PM PDT

Nice! I knew my Pro subscription that I never use would pay off one day! :D

Seems to be working fine though.

  • 05.12.2009 3:37 PM PDT

This is amazing. I've been waiting for this.

Okay. Why couldn't it just free? You're only rendering a video, right?
And, I know someone already answered it but, Will there be any other alternative to obtaining points i.e. contests?

  • 05.12.2009 3:37 PM PDT

hey im in the beta and i have a couple ideas to acquire bungie points besides the monthly points


1. forum posts or online alot like a daily basis or something

2. doing something for the bungie community

the only thing about forum posts is that people would be post like crazy and post the most randomist stuff expecially on the flood

To play or not to play....

Sounds nice. The sample video looks pretty cool.

I have to hand it to Bungie. Even though I have had a few BAD experiences with Bungie I have to say Bungie do deliver more than enough good stuff to make up for it. I will take back a few of my harsh words foolishly whispered to shady characters in dark ally ways.

I will now shout a few praises in the street and spray paint "Bungie Rules" all over the walls in those allyways. Should be fun

"Yayyy Bungie did it again...." :)

Seriously though...

This is a pretty cool feature that many, many people will find useful. I am not much of a video editor but I still will use the feature now and then. What is not to like about it. I also have to hand it to Bungie about how well it looks so far. Though I do ask that they please make it at least that good when they actually release it in its full blown version.

Otherwise cheers Bungie. Another handy feature you guys and gals have given to you community. Almost makes me wanna get you lot a beer or two :). But alas the best I can do is send a few thank you's.

ps:
Oh and another idea in regards to the points. Maybe you make it so people can trade or swap points they don't use. Sure some poeple will probably misuse the feature but it could also generate a lot of cool ideas and maybe some people that can't afford points can get the points that way legit of course. Just a thought.

they just dont want too many people rendering videos because that would make the wait for a video pretty much forever and yes i do hope there would be contests and that would be cool

Ha something so awesome still garners complaints.

Way to go Bungie. I already did 2 videos. Excellent system. Smooth and easy to use.

They are giving a bit for free. But it does cost money for them to have the service running and if everyone did it all the time then it would overload the service and it just plain wouldn not be practical. So they are giving a bit for free and then you might be able to pay for more.

It also encourages people to think about what they render :) Could you imagine the absolute flood of videos being made and uploaded to youtube and what not if it was all 100% free for all. LOL I can only think of that for a moment without feeling a sense of dread *joking*.

Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphors have two parts : form and interpretation; of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom being the briocoleus, the mason.

Hmm, so not only will we need to subscribe to bungie pro, we will also have to pay extra to be able to upload more clips that are longer and to do it more frequently. Don't forget that you need to have an xbox live subscription as well. Sorry, but I find that pretty rediculous.

In other words: Hooray for capture cards!

how do you get bungie points?
