Its been on my mind for quite while, and I think it would be good to have no enemies on firefight maps, to look around on/make machinimas... anyone agree?

No because for the rest of the community the blank maps would only serve as deathmatch type arenas which would be completely counterproductive to the coopperative mindset that ODST is working so hard to establish and cultivate.

Im saying so you can look around and make machinimas without getting shot.

about 3% of the halo community actually seriously makes machinima. plus creating a specific option this late would be to difficult, i imagine it wont be long until O.D.S.T ships

I don't think so. Although Machinimas in the streets of mombasa would/could be entertaining to watch.

Roosterteeth aren't going to use ODSTs, why bother? Wait for Reach, it'll probably support Machinima a lot better than Halo 3.

...

I think the firefight maps should have been MP maps as well.

PEANUT-BUTTER SLAP!

The overwhelming majority of the community wouldn't have a use for something like this.

There are more machinima makers than just rooster teeth, this is about machinima in general.

Hey guess what!? I play CoD more than Halo, but I'm not an annoying fanboy. I love CoD more, but I like how involved the Halo Community is...

Yeah Plus how do you know RoosterTeeth isn't gonna use it? They never said they wouldn't, so it would be cool to them Like Fuse Odst and Halo 3, like they did with Halo 2 and 1 in Reconstruction.

I've been thinking about that too, It would be great.

  • 08.22.2009 2:22 PM PDT

You can do most of it with Halo 3 though...

I think they should have an open gameplay mode for stuff like this. But even if they don't , I suppose where there's a game there's machinima. Gamers will find a way to entertain us.

Your blood will clean the blood for now.

Nah, people will use ODST for machinima, trust me. Just like CoD, its not even made for machinima but someone still tried to do it. And obviously succeed. Tbh it wouldn't be that hard to make a machinima. I can think of a extremely basic plot right now:

In Halo3 it shows a ODST player talk or something about random stuff and might have a flashback to some ODST moment (i.e. Firefight or Campaign part, or war scene). Then it slowley merges onto a full ODST machinima.
