Subject: Marathon Man - Going the Distance (Bungie Tribute/Farewell)

In tribute to Bungie's work on the Halo Series, I go the distance: From the gate of ONI: Sword Base in Halo: Reach to the northern boundary of the map.

It takes approximately 1 hour and 14 minutes for the journey.

Also, during the journey, I figured out that for some reason, as you approach the northern edge of ONI: Sword Base, models begin to glitch and the Target Locator won't work.

I mainly wanted to post this for a few reasons:
1. To share it with the community
2. To raise awareness for it, so hopefully it may grab the attention of Bungie themselves.
3. To get thoughts/opinions on it. It's my first time creating a project using Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle capture card and Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10 video editing software for a project, so feedback is appreciated.

Thoughts, anyone?

The beta is super awesome. RogueAssassin27 is now the person who got my Totodile's nickname. Hoo-hah! Relevant.inb4lock

My good man, are you telling me you spent an hour and three-quarters scaling a digital mountain?!

That's some dedication, if I've ever heard of it.

With mistakes (such as the first time, when I journeyed out around 15-20 minutes, and then proceeded to fall off an invisible cliff), it took that long. The actual "official" journey took around an hour and 14 minutes.

Time to get the popcorn out and turn on the surround sound system; it's cool. On the level Tip of the Spear, where the spire is, I escaped the level and walked all the way around the map's invisible, far off boundary. It was a long walk, to say the least. Every now and then you'll see something cool, though.


Same sort of story here. It's quite a long journey, but there are some interesting sights.

Exploring outside the maps in Halo has always been a great experience for me throughout the series.

"I don't have time Phfor this"
I pledge to punch all switches, to admit the existence of no level but total carnage, AND TO NEVER LEAVE A SINGLE BOB ALIVE!

That was a great vid. Liked.
