Subject: A Machinima Mode?

Check Out my FileShare.
I was once on Bungie Faves. (Feb.7-15)
I'd like to know why I can't see the signatures of others of myself on the forum. I have made favs once, 7777 campaign kills, and I helped bring modders down when they were at their strongest

I just came up with this idea a second ago so bear with me.

Now people have been creating many Machinimas in the almost 2 years Halo 3 has been out.

Theater has been very reliable and trust worthy, but if there was a mode JUST for those who make great machinimas, life would be easier for everyone.

Now the way it could work is that there would be 2 Main things there: Watching & Making

Lets start with making.

-You would start by picking the map/settings for the game.
-The game will Record your voices.
-When you are all finished the game will leave you to figure out the way you want to film it, and compile the clips into one whole film.
-There will be things to customize the film, credits/name.
-When you are done the film will be put online for all to watch.

This leads me to Watching

-Here you can watch all of yours and your friends' machinimas.
-Top machinimas, for example Red Vs Blue, or Matchmaking, will be viewable.
-Subscriptions to machinimas made by others. (Lets say the newest episode of Matchmaking is up, you will be notified and can watch it.)
-Lastly the ability to watch them with friends. Now this can use Avatars *think Netflix Viewer*



Please post what you think.

Cool idea, I like it. Possibly a toggleable button within Forge allowing you to record whats happening in some way would work too?

Yes a tutorial idea would be amazing.

Well that all depends on how crazy the forge will be. I am hoping for something as crazy as a Far Cry 2 kind of map maker but easier to use and better.

Epic Fail. Far Cry 2 map maker was trash. I didn't see one esthetically pleasing map come out of the community. Just a jumbled pile of fences and hills coming out of water. Take a look at Halo's map community. ForgeHub.com I mean come on the stuff is amazing.

lololololol ok maybe it could work. But if you ask me it's a waste of disc space. I'd rather have an open world campaign and more customization.

I have a fantastic forge idea! Geomerging is necessary for nearly all decent maps nowadays. But placing an object in the exact spot you want can be tricky. Instead of not spawning an object at start there should be a "ghost option" so you can still see the object but move things into it.

think of that mr. recon boy!! i'd rather have that then a million machinima adds on youtube every frikkin day. most will be by kids who don't know what they are doing. leave the art to the artists. not a bunch of monkey ass kids. what happened to the mature rating? when i was a kid i was busy doing homework and playing sports. seriously? do parents not exist any more?

Do you like my forge idea? Pretty damn clever isn't it? Maybe you should leave the threads to the big boys.

  • 07.21.2009 6:11 AM PDT

Did you just post 4 tiems in a row? ^^^^
And i like that idea =p id vote for it!

Process initiated : Attempting to give a damn

Process stopping : Unable to give a damn, stopping

Process failed : Damn not given

And a "No weapons" mode, please, and not to where the players look like apes, I'm sure the Master Chief doesn't walk like that all the time.

To the dude who posted 4 times, um don't double, triple, or quad post please.

This idea is meant for the machinima community for Halo 3.
But it will also require some crazy forge to sustain it.

  • 07.21.2009 2:34 PM PDT

Love this idea. Being able to make Machinima in game would be epic. In fact, I demand it Bungie!

wowowowowow GREAT IDEA!!!!!!! why didnt i think of that?

  • 07.21.2009 2:50 PM PDT

I would like it, but then machinimas would become too mainstream, tons of garbage with little to no good machinimas in sight.

I think this would make the engineering team crap their pants and quit.

Its enough to have render to video, but to record voices, and mix all the clips into one, thats a bit to extreme.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

-Thanks to Rocket Turtle for pointing out my typing follies.

its a cool idea, but i doubt it would be possible to get the editing capabilities of a program like sony vegas or final cut into a game, meaning that a lot of experianced machinimators would rather do it the normal way

Please post what you think.


Win.

Perhaps also an option in the settings to be able to lower your weapon, and Dead bodies/destroyed vehicles for forge.

Most of your ideas can be by-passed if they just let us take are films straight to a comp and post them on Bungie.net. At least that would save alot of room on the disk.
