Ok, I’ve body acted in a couple of minor Machinimas out there and in most cases I realize Machinima Directors find themselves in a problem: Body actors don’t have the needed armors. This usually ends in either looking for someone who has it or change the armor that is needed to something available. But it’s always an annoyance you have to deal with. This issue can be applied to most Halo games, save for the MCC. Now I have an idea that can be added into H5 or put in a future game like Halo 6. What if they added a specific Machinima Gametype that not only allows you to lower weapon or use a Theater Camera, but also allows to have all the armors while using it? I mean, if they added an in-game option by pausing the game that lets you change to ANY armor whether you have it or not (also change Colors, Skins and Assassinations, Emblems and Stances aren’t needed). You change and after doing so your Spartan dies and respawns with the new armor. Now this would ONLY work with this specific Gametype. Other Gametypes don’t have this particular feature so it’s not exploited for Customs and you officially have what you unlocked, but this Gametype temporarily unlocks everything. You can change the Settings for it to change traits, Spawn Weapons and stuff. You can save the changes as a new file but you can’t rename it so it’s not used for other Customs. It can also be helpful to search for an armor you like so you may see how it can look like on you so you can know exactly which armor you’d like to get. Now I know this idea has some flaws but if implemented well it can be very helpful for Machinimas. What do you guys think?
This would be awsome to have because im starting to create a small machinima on halo and that would be a great help
I really like that idea! That would speed things up and probably encourage more people to go to Halo 5 to make Machinimas. I want that mode now…
Its a good idea but I doubt 343 would even think twice about it, even though its limited to one mode it would still discourage people from buying REQ packs to get armour.
That’s a really good idea!
I haven’t made a Machinima since Halo Reach.
Halo 5’s and Halo 4’s theater is terrible.
Admitting my Machinimas were trash though lol. I’ve always wanted to a directors cut on one of them. But I don’t have a working capture card anymore… Let alone the time.
