I posted this in another thread but, it was sort of Off-topic. This is a more welcome place for it.
"I must know if Bungie/Microsoft is going to implement a way to save Games in the form of Demo's and if a Frame dump option would be avalible.
my reason being is that in the Quake 3 and CS communities they are able to save the game and play it back in the Same game engine. But they can do a Framedump option which is a non-realtime way to creat video files from the demo file.
Most Q3 players play at about 1024x768, and about 50-60fps. With these videos they can record the demo, in realtime and no Slow down. And set the demo to render at around 1600x1200, and 300fps. This creates a amazingly clear and smooth video. They then, downsample to about 800x600 45 fps. And they get this awesome motion blur look afterwards. But it's extremely clear.
Pretty much, if Halo2 Vista had this Demo recording and Framedump option. Fraps and Gamecam would be history. No more days of getting 20fps and losing that awesome Stick or Noscope. Or losing that awesome quality.
Sorry for rambling but for the Machinima community this would be a huuugge feature, along with Flycam's and things like that."
