The tide is turning, brothers! Let us take our kingdom back!

The trailer for 3B has me so pumped. This is a phenomenal machinima you have going so far, it's really taken off.

You guys certainly know how to make a great trailer and a great series. Eagerly awaiting the next part.

Shameless plug for my blog:

Check it!

Really well shot, great concept and well realised. The script good definitely use some work though, it's a bit cheesy and poorly thought out at times and some of the voice acting is fairly bad.

But I guess it isn't easy to get great voice actors for a small production like a Halo Machinima, so it's always forgiveable.

Overall it's incredibly well done, especially the camera work and large-scale battles. Fantastic work!

No. 1 CHINESE ZOMBIE/HUMAN

And Reach is my first Xbox 360 Game. ROFL.

Fido is the best character of all time.

I like how in recent episodes you can really see the development of characters beyond their spartan training

The pancakes have broken the perimeters of the Castle and the Duke of Crepes has allied with us. For Glory, For Honor, FOR WAFFLES!!!

God Damn Arby, good to see on B.Net, thought you never had one. Good way to connect to fans!

Nice work. Only watched part 1, but it was well done. Voice acting could be better tho. And when select spartans died, they should die...

I think the voice acting significantly improves by Part 2. We'll be redoing most of Part 1 lines for the directors cut.

Instead of having the characters never ever get shot, hit, or damaged in anyway (which I find very annoying and unrealistic) I prefer to actually have them get hit and knocked around, but their shields prevent them from dying.

I agree with the voice acting...

Now onto the noobish off topic mumbo-jumbo;

After I got home from school today, All I did was practice my elite voice and then ask you if I could send you the file (Kalikazima aka Alpha aka Wolfie.) you said K. But then started Rendering 3B.

I said; FFFFFFF-
Then I thought; Calm your nerves.

I am in love with RoTS from the epic fight scenes to the moving dialog to the tiny little jokes.

Part 3B is finally out!

There may be some time between now and Part 4, I have to script it all and film the entire thing during my school schedule. I'll see what I can manage though.

Oh right, yeah I skimmed through it.
I thought the ODST colour's were ok apart from the mouth piece on one of the ODST's and I agree with the Spartan armour, I thought the armour should have been different.

Every Spartan should look the same, but it's a machinima so it would be hard to tell who is who, I think that is why he did it.



Spartan-III's have different armor, and most Spartan-II's have the MJolnir Mark V or VI armor.
You cease to grow an imagination.

Finally 3-b! Beyond expectations Arbiter, once again you and your crew entertain the fans of machinima. How long will you keep this series up?...It feels like a long one, I hope so. Keep up the amazing work.

Hope you find a good balance between school and machinima making...
