Ok, the picture showing the markers on the gun, is that where the butt-ugly carpet in Sword Base came from?

(ugly, but I do think it's funny that the UNSC decorates like most other government agencies)

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

Sweet!

I love how you warn everyone to not attempt this at all at the top, and at the bottom you give out blueprints. I can't wait to lose a thumb!

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Hell yes. I have been waiting for these kind of blueprints since Halo CE...

Any chance of the Halo 3/Halo 1 AR?

Words of wisdom all around, but no one ever seems to listen. The words are all around but the words are only sound. But nobody seems to listen. Instead they'll say, "Well how could we of known?" I'll tell em, "It's really not so hard to tell. keep adding stones, and the water gets lost in the well."

The duck hunt controller from the NES? That's like 20 years old.
... i had to replace my xbox 360 controller 3 times now.

Many bulls encompass me; strong bulls of Bashan surround me;
they open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and roaring lion.
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint;
my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast;
my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws;
you lay me in the dust of death. -Psalm 22:12-15

Can I have that when you are done with it?

That's awesome.

Especially the blueprint.


Don't they have 3D computer solid-block-of-metal-into-BAM-finished product machines?
I gotta get me one of those..

Wicked story. Thanks a lot Urk!

A hero need not speak. When he is gone, the world will speak for him.

That's awesome!

Great story! I love learning behind-the-scenes details that make such a great final product.

Oh, and glad to see that old duck shooter getting some more mileage. The circle of life is everywhere - even gaming cross-console and -generation.

  • 06.02.2010 10:56 PM PDT

Thanks very interesting to read!

  • 06.03.2010 1:59 AM PDT

Really love these stories. :) Any insight is wonderful. Thank you Urk/Bungie, I eat these up like beans on toast.

The U.E.S.C. Marathon emblem that appears on my profile was designed by me and picked by Bungie [Bungie All-Star competition] to be available for use by anyone on the Bungie forums.

Hahaa =)
Your telling me "not to try this at home"
Bungie, your a little late on that one... I finished my Assault Rifle 2 years ago!

"Wake me...when you need me."

Easily one of the cooler stories in the last few weeks. Thanks Urk!

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

This is pretty impressive stuff... not just the work, either.

Blue prints for the exact specs on the AR? Nice!

As a long time Halo fan I personally demand that Troy go and show us all these badass props that he's been making for motion capture.

I remember in the Vidoc where one of the guys was holding (what I assume to be) a prop of Jorges giant machine gun. I wanna see that wireframe next.

Very nice. I was particularly impressed that you guys gave us a full scale sheet for the assault rifle. I would love if we could get information like that for everything in the Halo Universe, from the Plasma Pistol all the way up to High Charity and even all the alien species.

I know we have something similar for some things, but it seems limited in comparison to that scale sheet.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

What I want to know is how do you guys determine how much an assault rifle from halo would actualey weigh?
But then again you Bungie guys probably have all of that top secret information locked in the back of the pantry.
As for the wire gun, that's a magnificent idea. Now the wrist movements of the spartans will look very realistic.
I wonder will mouth movments be dreadful like in Halo 3: ODST,or will motion capture be used for the movements of the mouth as well?

What wonderful toys
What wonderful Urk
What wonderful Bungie.

Yeah the blueprints are cool.

Probably any vehicle/weapon/object in Halo can easily be set on blueprints because I would think everything modeled is built to scale as determined before hand.(except the cars in ODST)

That is not a big deal but a very nice touch and is great for transfering the info to someone to use as in this case.

Anything I build in Maya has the scale predetermined especially if it belongs to a group. I would imagine Bungie has so many objects in their library it is sick.

Of course you can resize things in a snap but they are surely built in relative size to start.

Like if you were doing a small scene you would be able to enlarge the objects needed for that scene.

Ok enough info no-one needs or cares about.

Sweet pix!
