So I found REQ images that show the in game models lowering their weapons - on the end of this article for Halo 5’s Forge update: http://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/gaming/627052/Halo-5-update-Xbox-One-news-343-Industries-Cartographer-s-Gift-Twitch
They are ACTUALLY designing it to make us either pay money or play for god knows how long just to get a chance at successfully making a machinima to lower a weapon.
Anyone else call this complete and utter bull, or are we okay with this? Because I certainly am not happy.
Machinima is a niche hobby/medium
Machinima is dying all on its own because it’s not good. The guys at RT just struck gold with their stuff at the right time.
Also, that image you are referencing is a stance… It has nothing to do with in game weapon lowering.
I do believe you don’t need any REQs to lower the weapon. I would like to say that there is a set button combo that lowers it.

There is a button combo, but it only lowers it on your screen; your spartan doesn’t actually lower it. Anyone else looking at you will still see your weapon raised.
However. That’s not an issue. H5 is an FPS, not video production software.
It’s been dead since Halo 4. Reach had the last good game for it, with awesome maps/scenery, Elites, customization, and just the aura of lightheartedness. That all disappeared in Halo 4, and I haven’t even seen one since Halo 4’s release. It wasn’t Halo 5 that killed Machinima. Either way it was a dying and mediocre medium.

My friends and I can only find one that lower it on you hud (jump, reload, d-pad down)
I wouldn’t say 5 is killing machinima however 343i is not doing a good job at allowing machinima. I don’t even think you can lower your weapon. I expect it to come out by the January update.
If anything it might improve Machinima. Adding the Chroma screens. Lighting and sound effects would make things more interesting. It seems like a lot more can be used for Machinima then it ever could, and as far as weapon lowering goes I think it’s entirely possible to make Spartans actually look like there gun is lowered in a later update.
It’s not the game itself really. There was a large group of machinima makers a few years ago that are still about, Arbiter 617 and all his friends that did a lot of Machinima together and it was really good. But as his friend stated in a video they just got tired of using halo thats all and thats understandable.
IGNORE ME. I forgot that stances did not affect game appearance. I don’t know where I got that from. Ignore me.
