We have 3 distinct and unique Forge environments(SPACE for e.g).
-
We have FLOOD Mode which is brilliant for Zombie-based Machinimas or anything related.
-
We have literally DOZENS of helmets and armour sets to choose from for our characters; THIS is fantastic.
-
We have DOZENS of Armour skins to further diffrientiate characters.
-
We have SPARTAN OPS missions which can be used for Role-playing purposes.
-
We have WEAPON Skins which further differentiates things.
-
We have the MANTIS which will be AWESOME for Machinimas.
-
We have Promethean Weapons which DISINTEGRATES players. JUST IMAGINE HOW WE CAN USE THIS FOR MACHINIMAS.
-
We have a ton more weapons which can be used for different purposes in Machinimas.
-
The graphics are MUCH improved and A LOT more detailed than before.
-
ASSASSINATIONS ARE SO MUCH BETTER.
-
We have Thruster pack for Machinimas as well as various other AA’s.
-
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THE ANIMATIONS HAVE BEEN IMPROVED
-
YOU CAN ALSO LOWER YOUR WEAPONS TOO, THANK GOD.
SO BASICALLY; HALO 4 MACHINIMAS WILL BE AWESOME.
Only real down side I’d say is that we have no elites D:. Although, hopefully that’ll lower the amount of UNSC vs Covenant themed machinimas because those just suck now…

Wow I just remembered…yes that’s a big downside.

Buuuut, we have flood, which is better than elites for machinima, IMO

I’d rather have both.
Also Flood Machinimas will require a friends and will be harder, also I’d say Zombies can only be used for very few concepts whereas Elite can be used for so many.

Not exactly - there smaller

Agreed, we will see awesome machinima cos of this
> We have literally DOZENS of helmets and armour sets to choose from for our characters; THIS is fantastic.
Did reach’s armory really change machinima?
> We have DOZENS of Armour skins to further diffrientiate characters.
True, this will be good also
> We have the MANTIS which will be AWESOME for Machinimas.
Definitely.
> We have Promethean Weapons which DISINTEGRATES players.

Yeah, I’ll give you that one

These again true and I’ll look forward to what machinima has to bring us.
Just realized. The Elite lovers will be pissed.
you’re joking about forge right? its the same as reach.
anyway, these things aren’t what makes machinimas awesome, what makes them awesome is not the tools but the stories that people create, you can have good tools all you like but if the script is crap then the machinima is crap, its just polished crap.

We’ve only ever been allowed to play as two different species.
I’d take flood over elites any day.
Plus any machinima requires friends.
Elites have alot less purpose than flood mate.
Agreed, i’m still hoping 343 put elites in forge or custom games as a surprise.
Agreed, I have already ideas set for future seasons on my machinima’s. I will be accepting more volunteers.

Sure it’s the same thing right?

Who needs Elites. I was going down a different alley.

Are you actually joking about forge?? Have you seen the videos about it? You must be joking, that statement is completely incorrect. It is many times better Reach’s forge.

same forge objects, same object limitations and same budget limitations.
magnets, lock, highlight and duplication are very minor tihngs that don’t actually add anything new to forge, it just makes it more user friendly then it was n reach.
dynamic lighting doesn’t really do much to help maps other then make them look darker, the grey problem is still going to be there.
pretty much, everything you can make in halo 4s forge you couldn’t already create in halo reach, so, halo 4s forge is the same as reach because there is nothing new on offer.

What did you have in mind? Because Elites were nice for some Covy based machinimas, though I have seen many good machinimas that did not use a single elite.

yes i’ve watched the videos, they haven’t added anything to expand on what i can build but have left me with what i had in reach.

We don’t play as Flood in Multiplayer though, we only turn into them in a certain game mode.
And Flood player models is a stupid idea anyway, only Elites and Spartans work as Player models.
Elites have a lot less purpose than Flood? Why in Earth would you think that.
