Share Your Screenshots, Tips, and Tricks

I could use a link for that. More things to brag about, haha.

BTW, there is some guy who put a few trolling tags on some of my pics :confused: My patience with this is very short, so I might stop putting screenshots on the fileshare and just put them somewhere else where I am the only one who can tag my own work.

I get them all the time. Don’t let it bother you. I have posted a thread about it and messaged Jessica numerous times about the issue. So far nothing has been done to stop it.

With greatness comes jealousy and hatred.

I just take better shots and challenge the haters to do better.

Well congrats to everyone who got their Screenies featured in the new Bulletin! Really happy my Tracking Optics one got chosen too, I’ll have to revisit Perdition at some point with some Forge FX added to see if I can do better.

Hmm, Oddball next week? I wonder how many Ballssassinations we will see in the File Browser next week…

A few Oddball ideas/suggestions to help everyone:

- Don’t forget you can make some on your lonesome in Custom Games, with FX included on a map. Adding certain ones like Juicy and Colorblind together will really help the Oddball’s ā€œlightā€ glow and stick out more against a background if you want that to be a focus on your Screenshot, but it does almost get rid of the ā€œflame trailā€ you get when you throw or run with it.
- The Ricochet Gametype’s Ball Spawns can be super useful if you just want to do one of the Oddball on its own. The same applies with Grifball, but with Ricochet, the ball floats skull up so you can see the whole thing clearly.
- To get the ultimate long ball ā€œflame trailā€, use a Man Cannon or Grav Lift. One of my favourites is Adrift’s, but Ragnarok’s can also be of great use if you want a more natural set behind the Ball Carrier, or indeed just the ball if thrown through a Man Cannon. (Meteor style Screenies on Impact anyone?)
- If you’re going to go for Ballssassinations, try and do them in a place where the background isn’t too busy with other Spartan’s fighting behind. Try and find a neutral/landscape backdrop to get what you’re after.
- Melee punches with the ball on their own look very cool if you time it right by pausing and then lightly pressing that right trigger to make the video play in super slow motion. One of my favourites is when the ball is tucked tight against the Spartan’s chest as they reach out to block with their left arm as seen here.

Hope those tips/ideas’ll be of some use to some of you. :slight_smile:

I believe one person has been perma-banned from the file share for posting up tags against Xbox’s ToU on people’s Screenshots, so there is some action being taken by the Staff. We probably just don’t see it often.

But of course, as Deluca points out don’t let the hate taggers grind you down, just keep putting out awesome screenshots, like that b-e-a-utiful Venator piece!:slight_smile:

I had taken 2 experimental screenshots a few days ago with the oddball. I didn’t upload them to my Fileshare but they are on my recents.

Magic Hands

Beatdown

Nothing uber awesome, but I was just messing around with the oddball. I will get more when I get my main account up and running again. Going to try the light glitch I shared a few weeks ago to see if I can get solid black backgrounds for these.

BTW, I also found out about this

Insert Success Kid meme here

Congrats to every one with last weeks Active Camo shots. There were some really excellent screen shots. I think mine was chosen more for emotional gratification than aesthetics. I know that is how I felt when I went back to capture the event :slight_smile:

On another note.
I have tried several times to PM my appreciation to BS ANGEL and B is for Bravo, but something on my end must not be set right.
Any thoughts, or assistance, on how to get this to them?

ā€œBS ANGEL, B is for Bravo.
Thank you for including my screen shots in the HALO 4 bulletins and Friday Caption Fun.
I very much enjoy and appreciate the opportunity to capture in-game (and posed :relaxed: ) images within Halo4.
Participating with the HALO Screen Shot community has been a very enjoyable experience.
Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of the HALO universe.
Z6Nitroā€

Thanks!

Yeah they can get annoying overtime and probably pushed ppl away from screenshots.

Just have a friend tag the same 7 tags as you do which describe the photo (ie: Dark, Oddball, etc) so that it gets a [2]

Filebrowser only shows the top 7 tags depending on that number so the hate [1] tags dont appear after that. :slight_smile:

I concur. I’ve had a few of them, with the Mantis photo, but sometimes, they make me laugh.

On the other hand, I have a feeling the reason why the Recon w/Active Camo didn’t go up is probably b/c it stood out to well since Recon, Scout, Warmaster, basically armorsets that work well with Active Camo go too well together. However, I was impressed by a few of them. I should have Oddball screenshots sometime tomorrow or early next week, :slight_smile:

Thanks receptor!
Awesome tips, man!

I will throw one out as well.
Place an oddball spawn anywhere.

Really love Erosion and Blue, Darkness is good but in comparison to the other two it just isn’t as good. Tonight I hope to get some screenshots, unless I end up playing Halo3.

Update: tagging

343i has responded.

They are aware of the issue and actions are being taken.

So that’s that, I guess.

Carry on Spartans!

I had noticed the hate tags on a couple of my screenshots disappeared last week.

To end the week, the last of my Giant plant shots (Turquois) and looking forward to the quips and quotes from last Fridays Caption Fun 23.

Good luck to all on the Odd Ball theme, Have a great weekend!

Took two of us out with one round from the sniper rifle

Here is some I took last night

Just won’t to say thanks to deluca for the help he’s been giving me with screenshots you are a top bloke.

None of the lighting FX was to my taste, so I used a kill ball and some fusion coils for this one.
Give me your hand, all will be well.

Nice work Smiley, your Screenie taking skills are improving more and more! My only comment on maybe improving those three is adding some more depth in terms of colour, at the moment it just feels a teensy to too bright and takes a little bit of the depth of the Screenshot away. That’s just my taste though, I’ll probably find everyone disagrees with me now… :smiley: Did you have the Nova FX on for them?

Nice one Noble! Genius thinking to include the Killball and Fusion Coils…I’ll have to try that at some point.

+++++

And now here’s some from me whilst messing about on Adrift for the Oddball theme, naturally using my Juicy and colourblind combination of FX and force one I’m actually using my default armour instead!

So first of all, here’s some older ones I’ve made before involving an Oddball (mostly from my Grifball Screenie taking exploits, as both use the same ball so can count for both):

And here’s my newest stuff on Adrift:

  • Voidball - Taken just as I’d picked up the Oddball outside where the Sticky Detonator usually spawns. I just managed to get the camera looking straight up form the ground, so you got just the starry sky behind my Spartan.
  • Spaceball Scout - Taken after jumping onto a Man Cannon towards the Red’s Spawn. Tried to get just the sky with the Spartan, but a teensy bit of wall just crept in at the top left corner. Blast…
  • Launched II - Taken going on a Man Cannon towards Blue Spawn I think, I’d also made a melee punch, hence why the fist is drawn in like that. Pretty happy with the timing on this and the long ā€œflame trailā€ I mentioned earlier in the week past after going on a Man Cannon.
  • Magma Scout - Taken where the magma pipes are, when Juicy and Colourblind are combined, their vibrancy really sticks out more as I found out with some other Grifball Screenshots I made a week prior. I’d made sure I’d angle the camera upwards so you can see the whole of the Scout helmet’s visor.
  • Punch Through - Not much to say on this one really, apart form perfect timing after pressing the melee button so the fist is fully stretched out on the Spartan. I made sure the monitor was visible too as that adds something extra to the background I feel.

And that’s that from me for now folks! Looking forwards to seeing everyone else’s new Screenies when you share them with us!

We had juicy, colorblind, and next gen on.
Yellow and red flashing lights
Blue light
White light.
Blue and red shield doors on the walls
Grid on half the floor.
Speed boost/over shield appearance.

So yeah. Bright was the objective. Trying to get the maximum amount of color on the screen while keeping the Spartans colors true.

The room is almost seizure causing.
I made it so you can get crazy shading. Some of those examples can be found in my recent shots.

So in super slow mo you can get black,white, red,blue, purple, yellow, orange. All together or individual color backgrounds.

I will upload it to my fs tonight and leave it there for two days. So DL that junk quick because it will disappear.

When I saw it I thought there was party going on in there lol.
