Is there really gravity or does the earth just suck?

The toys look good. However honestly, I think they are a waste of money.

I doubt scrap metal and that gun cost that much and it is important so they can see how the charecters would really hold the gun.


But having the weight at the end of the barrel is pretty inaccurate, to be honest. I hate to be 'that guy,' the the AR is designed as a bullpup, which means the gun's balance point is actually toward the rear. This oversight showed itself with the famous image of the Chief resting the AR on his shoulder for Halo 3. With the way a real bullpup would be balanced, that just isn't feasible. Again, I'm not saying this to be a jerk or that super nerdy guy, but if Bungie is after absolute realism, they should consider such things next time around (as I'm pretty sure it's too late to do anything about it this time).

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

clear eyes , full heart , can't lose

mo-cap animators are the bomb especially bungie ones. And as for those AR specs how about 343 industries gets a DECENT* manufacture to make some of those puppies for launch when reach comes out. I mean It's a win win situation we get AR's Microsoft gets more of our cash. The gears guys got Lancers so I think we deserve a AR now.

I'm a computer animator with a first class degree in animation. i am against mo-cap! its killing people like me!
but it does look really cool! i suppose its time to get a new skill!
can't mo-cap do colours? you'd thing the balls on the gun would be diffrent so theres no problems in editing with the computer thinking its an arm



I remember the days when Bungie was against mo-cap as well.
Bungie had (and still has) some of the worlds best animators, and it really showed back then.
My view is that you have to be a good animator to know how to use mo-cap well anyway.

And don't worry about mo-cap stealing work away from you, As far as I know, you can't mo-cap a tripod (war of the worlds), or a centipede on rolla-skates yet.

Ah, the N1N73ND0 Zapper... Innovative at its time, and still useful today! Who ever knew that little gun could do so much... Funny thing is, they're using it to make a game perfect, by making someone go through actions that are recorded, so basically pretend its a real deal, the same thing that so many little kids did back in the day... without the whole 'making a game' deal

It would more awesome if you put a paintball marker into that and put carbon fiber on the outside

I'm considering making a Halo Reach promotional display stand for my A2 graphics project over the next year. I think i will include an assortment of Limited Edition items to go with it, not unlike an alternative Legendary edition of the Halo titles. Such items will currently include: full size foam block model AR replica, and metal castings (Possibly a dog tag or a keyring logo). Comments appreciated, and i will post pics somewhere when finished.
