Subject: I'm doing a Machinima, and I need some starting help.

Hello, I am a bit of a n00b because I have not used the forum yet, maybe I'm not, either way I don't care. Anyway, I am creating a machinima in Halo: Reach, and Halo 3. It is about a secret spartan division in which each spartan is either assigned to protection missions (Killing Covenant) or assassinations and mercenary jobs. Each member goes by the name of a state, and the organization is run by a man who is not a spartan himself but wears the armor for protection.Two agents in particular are set up by a top agent and betrayed and in a quest for vengeance end up finding a conspiracy in the agency. I want to know if this is too cliche, too boring, or if anyone has any advice to make it more enjoyable. As well I need to know special techniques, such as lowering a gun, having now weapon, and other things which are unreliable on YouTube. It would be greatly appreciated, I'm a big fan of Halo, so please help me do something in Halo that will be enjoyed by many. Aswell, if interested, I need voice actors and forge help, so if you want send me a message.

What kind of benefits do we get?

  • 02.12.2012 7:59 PM PDT

Well, I'm in it for the fun of making my own series and entertaining the masses. I don't honestly have any other motives but you will have benefits of being known from a good Machinima, and having helped good people do something they always wanted to. I don't have anything else to give man.

i assume you mean NO weapon, that is possible online but only for people who are not the host i believe, but lowering a weapon is something that cannot be done online

Sounds kind of like RT. I would take out the states because that's basically the Freelancers

  • 02.12.2012 9:57 PM PDT

Does it hurt when I do this?!

Unoriginal. PASS.

Who Cares?

I was thinking of doing a Machinima myself but didn't have the idea or story, but I love my forge and would gladly help in anyway I can. I could build locations, or try to, and if any armor is required for a certain character I could help with. I'm only a General but got some good peices to help with. Plus even if it's not required I have Eternal (Blue Flames) if you want.

Who Cares?

I know for a fact there is no way to lower your weapon online or conected to live, though you can do it while conected but only in a Localized party (Your xbox console only)

If needed it is;

Switch Grenades (B)
Reload (X)
Click Right Thumbstick (R3)
Down on the D-Pad.

A female can always help, don't put yourself down. I think you'd be perfect as an agent character. If so just tell me

  • 02.13.2012 6:45 AM PDT

I kind of realise it's like the free lancers from RT's Red vs. Blue. Yeah, that's because it was supposed to be based on the freelancers, but I decided to change it to a solo Machinima with a friend. So what should I do instead, Greek letters, Weapons, Numbers, or just cool names?

It's supposed to be comedic and serious with a lot of good fun humor, and a thickening plot and story line.

  • 02.13.2012 6:49 AM PDT

As well many participants will need both Halo Reach and Halo 3, because the seasons will have different gameplay and maps.

  • 02.13.2012 6:55 AM PDT

Who Cares?

I'm up for it, if in Halo 3 it would be sweet if I could use my Katana.

  • 02.13.2012 9:44 PM PDT

Yeah you could be like a high rank base commander who we attack and fir several episodes try to kill.

  • 02.15.2012 7:16 PM PDT

Sounds horrible.

  • 02.15.2012 9:41 PM PDT

It would be pretty sweet if I could also use my Blue Flame fom Reach, plus maybe just maybe I might get a friend of mine in for an ep. cause he got Haunted Skull helmet. No promises. How far have you gotten so far, machinima wise.
