Im thinking of making a halo machinima when i get my capture card so heres my idea:
This Machinima(cant think of a name plz give ideas in comments) will follow the life of spartan Robert Jenkins who has to face his final test in the war games so the unsc can decide if hes ready to go to war or not. Jenkins,who was picked on and beaten up every day at boot camp for being not as strong or smart as the other spartans, wants nothing more than to prove he is just as good as any other spartan, maybe even better. this will also follow the story of other characters like these:
1:cpt Noah
2:cpt Burns
3:pvt Jeff
4:lt Martin
5:UNSC commander David Jet
thats really all i can think about now but ill soon be adding other things to this post to add to the story

Had my first day of spartan boot camp today, had a hard time keeping up and got yelled at alot by our stupid drill sgt. I mean im doing the best I can but still that isnt good enough, maybe thats just the first day, heard the first few days of boot camp are rough but eventually get easier or atleast i hope they do. Had a freind who became a spartan ounce but got injured in battle, based on what he says it seems like pretty dangerous buisiness, but i like a challenge or 2, what would life be without challenges? The only thing i know is it would be pretty boring. little bit of laughing. I never really trusted the govt, I know their hiding something beyond our imaginations,something so horrible that not even ONI can take care of it and you know ONI, they can take care of anything. Kind of boring here talking to myself to this stupid uhhh, whatever this is I am recordometer 6009 delta alpha, Pvt Jenkins wait this thing talks?! sigh. Well i better go to sleep now, big day tommorow.

btw if something is underlined it basically means its an action that cant really be put into words

I do believe you have found out about my desertion of the UNSC and are now hunting me down to kill me. If you really think you can kill me you gotta try alot harder than that, the last 15 ambushes you have set up for me where easilly destroyed within minutes. I know youre hiding something from the world and im gonna find out what it is and you and your army isnt gonna stop me. We thought the covenant were monsters, but it seems the real monster is you for all you have done to me and my team.
your “freind”, Jenkins
sorry typo on the last one i meant to put 2258
if anyone wants to be an actor in this series or the recorder please send me a message on x box or on halo waypoint saying so. please no kids. also possibly looking for an animator to animate little parts of the series.
Interesting, definitely interesting. An SIV proving himself is definitely a type story I’d like to see.
But can I suggest that Jenkins not be so inferior? He’s gotten into the SIVs so he can’t be that bad even if he’s still in boot camp. Perhaps if his trainers were very demanding instead of him being incapable it would be more believable. Maybe they could be surviving SIIIs that see the SIVs as wannabees and expect him to meet their standards.
It could be a little wink to the community members that think that the SIVs aren’t as good as the the past generations. Having a machinima about an SIV trying to prove that wrong could be a cool element for your underdog story line.
So I think it’d be better if he’s trying to show that he’s just as good the SIIIs over him working against his fellow SIVs, but that’s just me, sorry if I’m hijacking your script.
And Jenkins finding a secret and eventually betraying the UNSC sounds awesome too but I have to recommend that you take things slow in that area. Concentrate on the boot camp and character development side of things at first but slowly build up to the revelation while doing so. Though by the sounds of things you’ve already got things planed out that way.
I’d like to here more about what you’ve got planed out. Do you have a setting outside of Wargames planed? Will Jenkins have a team working under the same trainers?
What I’m thinking of doing is starting the series after he is done with boot camp with flashbacks of it along the way
Maybe make boot camp a side series

My 4th day of boot camp… I don’t have really much to say, it was just like all the other days. Being a test subject of the spartan IV program is tough, I mean is the unsc even trying to help me out, or do they just not care? Right now I don’t even think I trust the unsc.

You have obviously put alot of effort into this machinima of yours which is great to see from a fellow community member. Maybe you could have Robert do a heroic action, finally proving himself to be quite the threat.
