How will we make machinima if armor is randomized?

If armor is random, it will be hard to get the armor you need to represent a character. Before there were specific ways of unlocking armor and it was easy to have my actors do that. Now with halo 5, reqs are randomized. I may want a character to have a certain armor and I may have the armors I need, but my body actors amy not due to the randomization of the req packs. I can’t play all the characters because of no split screen. Also we should have online weapon lowering. But lets not get off topic. How will machinima actually work? Also, maybe we should just have all armors in custom games just so that we can make machinima.
Halo 5 Guardians’ customization and forge brings a new level to machinima. It’s making it better for us machinima makers. Req systems though, make it hard for se to have the armor to represent a character. For say Locke’s armor makes him seem as menacing as he is. Chief’s armor shows that he is this badass ready to kill. We have to make the armor show who the character is, having it randomized makes compromise, which makes the machinima suck! Wihout specific steps to getting the armor, it makes it harder and some of us have budgets or some online actors can’t just start buying stuff for the machinima, especially if they wont use it anywhere else.
So I think custom games should at least allow you to have al larmor variants and have online gun lowering AS LONG AS ITS CUSTOM GAMES ONLY!!! What do you think? I could use some ideas for my machinima and to also reduce compromise.

Play the game and earning the armor for your machinima’s will probably be your best option, and im glad thats the best option.

Yeah, that would be the best

The really famous machinimators might be able to just ask 343i if they can have a specific armor set, seemed to work for RvB and them asking about Inclement Weather for a scene in Reach, but I wouldn’t get my hopes up even then.

Getting the armour in custom games seems like a good idea
but it worked back in the daywith everyone having the same armour, you’ll just have to suck it up and use the materials you have if nothing else

Yea, I agree. The good news is that people do have the option to gamble with buying them if they wish. But I’m all for earning them in-game.

Remember what I said about compromise, and what I said about characters armor represents them. You can’t have a character change armor every 5 minutes. That creates confusion and makes the machinima worse. Sometimes yo have to change body actors because certain characters Arnav not in the scene, and also the fact that the original body actor isn’t always there.

If you need body actors ask some of the many waypointers who have completed their armor sets.

Dude, do you realize this post is over a year old? Please, don’t revive old threads.

Did not realize. I searched somethin’ on google and didn’t check the date. Apologies.

Man i never thought about that. That’s sad.
