Okay. Why couldn't it just free? You're only rendering a video, right?


Bandwidth and maintaining servers costs money. It will also help prevent the service from being overloaded with requests.

It sounds like a great feature, even if I won't get too much use out of it.It might not be the best for people who do a lot of recording. But for people who do some, but not enough to justify spending money on a quality capture card, it sounds like a good service.

To play or not to play....

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!


Actually you have a point there. Hmmm. Though it might still be worth it for many people. Most people have XBL anyway and many have Bungie Pro. It would cost me more as I am not a BP member but those who want this feature the most probably do.

Canada isn't that important that it needs two of the same threads on page one.

Cool. At least we know they are doing something productive. Time to test this thing out. I think points should be
A) Given out in contests
B) on Marketplace for 200 or 100 MS points.

Apparently it comes out in July or something like that. But I think only Bungie Pro users get the free point. Though I suspect you will be able to purchase points eventually. But havign to pay anything for points might stop many people from using it at all. just look at all the pople who cry about the cost of the maps and they are like $10 and far more useful.

Shrug. I can afford to pay for practically whatever I want I am just saying some people will not pay for anythig if they can help it.

Armor Lock isn't overpowered. You just suck at Reach :)

Reach isn't bad, you're just a BK :)

For my gamertag, look up "Ghoulishtie"

Well, im glad that the render to video thing is going well, but seriously? We have to pay for it? And why do current subscribers get better benefits? Thats just telling us other halo fans to go screw ourselves, we got the worse end of the deal!

Its a great new feature and all, but I was really looking forward to gettin back into machinema without having to go through my crappy capture card (which the software wont work on vista, so its now useless) but reading that I will have to pay, just made all of those machinema ideas crash and burn...

I understand that it is a pain going over the servers and space of all the GB of video that is gona be used, but shouldnt buying the game, and subscribe for pro be enough?! Its almost having to pay for full features on some mmorpg (like WoW) when you are already paying the subscription and paid for the game.

Im sorry, but something I was sooo hyped up for, to just find out that I will be required to pay to do what I like to do (film/edit halo videos) then forget it.

Good job either way Bungie. It's a great new addition to the Haloverse, just has disappointing problems...

Wow. Well I guess I'll be buying a capture card then. This really is ridiculous, we have to pay for bungie pro, and then we have to pay for every clip we download. What if I have a lot of 10 second clips that I want to dl to make a montage, I don't want to pay for a minute for each.

This is a big disappointment, I'll pay for a capture card that lets me dl unlimited amounts of videos, thanks.

"Seems to me you should spend less time on that article and more time working on that novel you've been working on!!!"

Awww, thank gawd, finally!!!! Thank you!! Now I can more easily show people my roommate's crazy overkill that is better than any other overkill in the history of this game.

Question: Also, my Bungie Pro went away a couple months ago or so, and the option to subscribe to it again won't show up at the bottom! Is something wrong with my game, or am I not looking thoroughly enough?

Wow, a points system for rendering the videos after paying for Bungie Pro.

How about -blam!- you guys in the ass too?

Glad I bought my HD card. This is bull-blam!-.

So you've tracked me down...

Be sure to check out my Youtube profile for all of my videos.

Nice, is it possible to get the crosshairs to show on our rendered videos. All first person video which are tagged here don't seem to have them where as the example clips given do.

The service sounds great, but I think I'll stick to my HD cap card for now.

  • 05.12.2009 4:34 PM PDT

So I waited a while for this service, only to find out that you are going to make me pay to render videos... when you actually let me use it, that is.

Screw this. I'm out.

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

Ignorance is the true enemy of all things.

Rocking Bungie.net for over 8 years!

...and I thought they'd never release it!

Awesome. I'm hoping the rendering time comes out cheap though. Being able to get HD captures of clips on demand would rock.

BTW. Is the 10 minute time limit just for the beta, or is that for all time? Cus that would really suck. At least make it 20-30 minutes please, because that length cuts out a lot of standard length multiplayer games, and almost all campaign videos already :(

  • 05.12.2009 4:39 PM PDT

lol

You have to pay for every video you download? This is a complete joke.

This looks awesome! I just used one of my minutes, and I'm pretty pleased. The quality isn't perfect, but it definitely is pretty good. Can't wait for HD!

I'm also wondering about Crosshairs in the video.
