No u

Arbiter, you have my most sincere apologies for some of my earlier comments. Episode six was gripping and so very heart wrenching. Very well done if I do say so myself.

I got confused at the bit where he met the Forerunner AIs, because I didn't understand a word they were saying.

Multi-trillionaire modern cowboy.

That's right.

Oh, cool, I was unaware you posted the updates here, too.

[Thread saved], my good man. It's one hell-of-a-machinima.

Wow, it takes you a good hour to film a 10 second scene, apparently. And here's me thinking I'm finished with a scene after 5 attempts.

If no one minds me asking... Could you give us some sort of date as to when part 7 will be out, Arbiter? The anticipation is killing me!

  • 07.21.2012 7:13 PM PDT

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

So I finally got around to watching the 6th part of this. It kept me up all night, dude. I've never watched a machinima that made me feel so many things before. Kudos to you, this series is up there with some of the greatest things I've ever seen.

Very true!!!

As long as I'm just awaiting further voice acting, here's a Youtube Spot for your patience.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Absolutely brilliant. I have no idea how you'll top Part 6 though, the last 10 minutes in-particular were some of the finest pieces of emotional storytelling I've seen - not just as a machinima, as a piece of art.

Does anyone have lotion?

Is mayonnaise a lotion?

So...

Why did he shoot the Janitor guy? To prove a point?

Never mind, I just saw the PSA. I didn't know that Fido actually changed the Spartan Laser.

I don't get what those AIs were there for... Or why Sev deactivated them.

I also don't understand what Ocelot and Whisper were arguing about somewhat near the end... Weren't they new to Swift? How would they know his story? And what's the point of them arguing over that anyways?

I am going to stop replying now...

I don't see why the Covenant would attack the Spartan Training Base thing, unless that was the start of the war. Was it? I didn't know who the recurring characters were who were getting killed in the last scene, I mean I remembered them from earlier scenes, but they just weren't significant enough to create the intended impact.

Oh! And I just remembered an idea I thought of awhile ago. You need those ODSTs from one of the first episodes to return at some point. Maybe the Red and Blue Marines and the Turquoise ones as well...

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE CUTSCENE AFTER THE CREDITS MEANS!

Hey, Arbiter. I've heard the Halo: Reach soundtrack in Rise of the Spartans, so do you know if the Halo: Reach soundtrack is covered under Microsoft's Game Content Usage Rules? I was hoping to use it for my Machinima. Thanks!

Great work with part 6, by the way! Hope you can get those one and a half people soon.

Part 7 is finally here! Yay!

Sorry everyone for having this Part delayed for so long. It was practically looking like this two weeks ago but we were missing lines and retakes.

Kalos has been replaced by Daniel Hodge for this Part.

Rahgath should have said "Sahjook" instead of "Sahjuck"

Every time Thel said Idga he should have said Dygo and vis versa.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

If I were to align the quality, impact and importance of RotS with any Halo machinima, it would have to be The Codex/Heretic series. The quality stories, characters and arcs you produce is leaps and bounds beyond any contemporary machinima series I can think of.

As ever, absolutely fantastic work. While I didn't think that the depth of this part was quite on-par with the previous one, this was full of absolutely brilliant moments - both sad and inspiring. The music, the choreography, the voice work, the action and the twists were all really well done and I'm sure I speak for many when I say that a resolution to a certain twist in Part 5 was very satisfying.

You have left me on tenterhooks for the next part.

Part 7 just HAS to be one of my favorite parts of the series. It was done VERY well. Nice job Arbiter617.
