Well with the great rapid of the news from Halo: ODST I have just thought, "Is Halo : ODST going to have a theater mode?" and so I am set out here to ask you guys two questions. My previous question and "What will you do for a ODST Machinima?" I personally don't know what kind of Machinima I would make but this is just a guess, that maybe you can have a lot more people (Because you're not secluded spartans) allowing "Directors" to film easier and not have to "recruit". I end my paragraph here and hope you guys have some good answers! P.S. No SPAMMING OR FLAMING!

Yes, both ODST's Campaign Mode and Firefight both have Theater Mode functionality.

Firefight is more than enough, and someone patient enough can use Campaign Films as well for machinima. It's been done before. At the very, least, they could use small tidbits in future machinima.

Exactly, Machinima creators are creative, they will find a way.....

The enemy is very aggressive and hard to predict. Unless you making some actual battle of ODSTs vs the covenant, it's going to be quite hard.

From what they've demoed, it is very clear that you can find ample territory in Mombasa Streets that is no under Covenant control. As for Firefight, I agree, its main purpose would most likely be for... well, firefight sequences in action machinima.

Damn I got some ODST news searching to do! Haven't really kept up..

I hope when they build theatre they fix a couple things with it like...

Rewind in a campaign film.

Announcer voice plays more than once.

if they could fix those two I would love Bungie forever :P

Bring Back Rocket Race!!!

Well yes, Halo 3: ODST will have Theater Mode as mentioned by several people above. However, the game only has two game modes which is the Campaign and Firefight. Based on the original Halo 3, I don't think ODST will be good for making machinimas. In Halo 3, most people used either Forge or Custom Games to make those machinimas. Nobody really used campaign that much. As for firefight, it's pretty much the same situation. You are limited to 4 people and you don't have control over the AI in the game. So if you are going to use ODST to make machinimas, they're probably going to be short ones. On the bright side, there is another type of video that was popular with the previous Halo games. Glitch videos. No game is glitch free so I'm sure that some people will eventually find some sort of glitch and make videos about it.

They're not rebuilding it for ODST, they're bringing over Halo 3's engine. The improved functionality of Theater Mode is more likely for Reach.
