Fair point, I wanted to to use a map that complemented the legendary visor and longbow was the best for it, and while taking the screenshots I thought I try out some scenery shots too, so they are quite generic.

@dakka02 - Thanks for posting, I sometimes forget how much work and detail the graphic artist’s have created in Halo 4.
My favorite was “AWE” and I also liked “Relay” (in the fog) and “Neglect” (for it’s simplicity).

Played some Rocket Race today! :slight_smile:

I think Ragnarok has some very good lighting, these are in-game screenshots - no FX

Thanks,

I like the second one a lot. Has awesome lighting on it.

Both look great, the second one is my favorite out of the two, like Siul said the lighting is really good.

All really good screenshots. I really like the second one the colours, the pattern and the armour you chose for the spartan tie it together really well.

@ Gothic Lucy: Great Screenshots. I really like the 2nd: “A Million Eyes”.

I spent some time on Haven today:

Have a great weekend All!

Good evening everybody. I happen to have two new photos to share that I have taken, but before I do so, I see many creative minds have posted many new awesome photos themselves since my last visit.

dakka02, I do enjoy the photos you have taken on Longbow. You managed to capture a couple of the relay that show detail that I previously missed. Well done with your photos. Reminds me of the night an old friend and I found some really neat stuff with teleporters on that map, and even figured out how to get up on the relay(Yes, the 10 second soft kill timer killed us, but it was fun being up there.).

Z6NITRO, I really like the lighting and shading you have captured from lighting effects in your recent rocket race photos. That combined with the angles you have used gives the photos more of an action feel. Great ideas and timing with taking your photos. I also like your new photos, as they seem to have a dynamic feel with a combination of the binary rifle’s lasers and the blue glowing ring in the background.

Gothic Lucy, as usual, you always impress with your photos as well. ‘A Million Eyes’ actually feels like either a Spartan Visor of sort, of the eye of an insect. Really unique idea with that photo. ‘When the Lights Break’ has a unique feel to it that I just can’t explain. Amazing photos overall, well done :slight_smile: .

The two new photos I happen to have are relating to Halo: Reach although they were created in Halo 4. Did you ever wonder what Carter, leader of Noble Team’s armor generally would have looked like (Minus custom decals, dents, etc) if he had survived Reach and recieved upgraded Spartan VI Armor? From this photo, you should have a better idea:

Spartans Never Die…

As for the second photo, it pertains to Kat, and it is meant to be funny. How many people here have played Halo: Reach and either had Kat drive them off a cliff, or was splattered by Kat while she was driving? All of my local friends who have played Halo: Reach have experienced one or the other at least once. So, for a good laugh:

Still the Worst Driver Ever

I hope everybody enjoys and have a great night. Keep the awesome photos coming as well :slight_smile: .

@ Lizking: I must have been editing (adding to) the post above yours at the same time you were writing.

1st - Thank you.
2nd - I believe the link’s to your screenshots are to your tag history?

I saw your “Still the Worst Driver Ever” on the Public file browser. Funny :slight_smile:
(I am in the middle of Reach campaign solo, completed the co-op a couple of months ago)

Thanks again!

As for how my photos are linked, they are indeed linked to my tag history. The reason for this is that I can link them this way once, and be done with it, rather than instead linking it to my fileshare, in which would eventually become a dead link as I do update my File Share, and if the photo isn’t there, well it won’t show up.

Watch out for Kat if she is driving during your solo campaign play, especially if she is driving a wraith (Should you take one from the enemy and get out of it, she will try to drive it) or warthog. I dunno if she was programmed to act ‘mentally unstable’ in a vehicle and do crazy things intentionally to go with the storyline of her mentally suffering due to loss of teammates, or if the game just glitches and she goes AWOL from time to time.

I am happy to hear that you liked my photos as well. You have a great night, and thank you as well :slight_smile: .

@Lizking
Both really great screenshots the second one made me laugh, after I heard how bad Kat was at driving I automatically demoted her to gunner so I never truly experienced the terror that is Kat’s driving. Now you are making want to play reach again :).

I’m baaaaaaaaaack! Mwahahahahahahahaaaa!

After time away being with family for New Years and working, I am happy to let you all know that the Nutty Welshman is back and has Screenshots for you all!

@ Gothic Lucy: Great stuff as ever madame Gothic! I’ve been a fan of your Silver Collection for a good while so it’s great to see some new additions for it. A Million Eyes though is my fave from those three pieces you posted, great use of the Impact windows to make that piece.

@ Z6NITRO: Scope Wash is my fave from your submissions on Haven (yay to my favourite Photo Set from Halo 4!) You framed the lighting perfectly inside the Screenshot with good centering in that piece so well done! Love the Rocket Race pieces too btw. :slight_smile:

@lizking: Ahhh yes, Kat and her maniacally mad driving habits…Never let her drive the Rocket Hog in Tip of the Spear! Nice reference to the Reach characters from Noble team! You thought of maybe doing similar for Emile, Jun and Jorge?

On my own end, I managed to find and purchase something I thought I’d never find on British shores; the Macfarlane toys’ Scout figurine in rust colours with the Scout TOXIC skin included! Naturally I snapped that figurine up immediately and put on my new Scout skin as soon as I got home from New Years. With the placement of the sceondary colour on the TOXIC skin, I have finally returned to my original Halo colours back in Halo 3, Blue and Gold!

So with these new colours and armour skin, I decided to pop onto Perdition and Ragnarok to display my old colours’ return:

  • Return Fire: A very simple screenshot involving the fire from the AR lighting up the wall beside me. simple but effective!

  • Pale Rocket: This screenie and the one below both utilise the blast from the fired Rocket giving the bright and relatively unblemished background behind my Spartan to give the full focus on the Screenie on the Scout and nothing else. I think it shows off the new armour skin and pretty well too.

  • Bright Scout: Same as before, but with a more frontal look of the Scout.

  • Evac Order: My proudest piece from the set on Perdition, love the orange light form the emergency screens paired with the shadowed form of my Spartan. I used the weapon switch trick too so I had the rocket Launcher held at rest.

And finally, two taken on Ragnarok by the beach end to show off the new skin and old colour return with no FX or anything:

++++++++++++

And that’s it from me! Happy MMXIV to all and let’s have another great year of Screenshots!

17 out

@ Receptor 17 - Thank you!

Great find on the Scout Toxic Skin and the opportunity to create a little nostalgia!

Good shots all, My favorite was “Return Fire”.
I like the additional lighting you get from the muzzle flash on the wall and the dark / deep colors of the armor and visor.
I also liked “Old Colours”. Including the background scenery made it more natural to me.

Happy New Year!

Good evening everybody. I’m happy to see that this thread was finally stickied :slight_smile: . Woot! or should I say Wort? lol.

Anywhom, I have read Receptor17’s question, and the answer is yes. As a matter of fact, here are the results from that. Keep in mind that this is what their Spartan’s base armor would most likely look like upgraded to S-IV with out custom additions and battle damage had they survived Reach (Well Jun did anyways).

Jun
Emile
Jorge

Through doing so, I did stumble upon some interesting things as well on daybreak.

Will-O-The-Wisp
Daybreak Landscape I
Daybreak Landscape II

Also, because I have been in such a Reach mood (Not to much to play, but to try to replicate looks), I decided to try to do a S-IV variant of Reach armor from my Firefight buddy of the past.

Joelcoop87-Reach Armor

I was really excited with my results and this thread being stickied, but I haven’t forgotten about my fellow photographers and their recent contributions.

I can see you are experimenting again with those awesome elements you like to incorporate into your images Receptor17. I personally like ‘Evac Order’ as the photo has a feel to it as if it were telling a story of a grim situation. The lighting in it is a bit darker than normal, but it fits right with the other elements of the photo. Keep up the awesome work on your photos.

Even though she hasn’t posted it here yet, I do happen to like Gothic Lucy’s new photo ‘Nightshifter’ . It has a nice touch of purples, yellows, whites, and greys. This photo and the FX used gives the spartan in the image a creepy, but awesome feel, but also I see the transition of dark to light with the spartan thrusting into the dark. Interesting photo Gothic Lucy. I like it alot.

Alright everybody, keep up the awesome work on your photos, keep them awesome photos coming and have a great night now :slight_smile: . Also, happy new year everybody!

Thank you to whom ever came up with the idea and implementation of stickying (sp?) this thread!

@ Lizking10152011 - Great screenshots all, I really liked the 2 Daybreak Landscapes and my favorite was “Will o the Wisp”.
Excellent title for the screenshot!

I am still on Haven, but had a little help this time. It helps me find stance’s if I have someone else making me move around the map and trying not to die :wink:

Have a great rest of the week and looking forward to seeing everyone’s upcoming creations,

Well the new Bulletin’s been posted with the new theme being the Deadeye helmet. Unfortunately, I do not possess said helmet, so it’s very unlikely that you’lll see any themed screenshots from me this week.

But I may have others to showcase instead.

Finally, a huge congratulations to anyone featured in the top 2013 Screenshots!

That’s a shame cos I do like your screenshots plus I thought you did some super shots in 2013.

Those said comments I appreciate greatly :smiley:

@Lizking-I have seen your most recent screenshots you have posted and they are great to see,I am feeling the Reach vibe onto 4 finally. :)I like Jorge or Let the big man handle it and Will’o the wisp;the scenery is incredible :smiley:

@Z6Nitro-I think the Blue Slide has catched my eye most because one;I love blue,two I love the tones of the blue gradient that surrounds you and the pose of going out from the Thruster Pack.(My fav’Armour ability)

Sorry I forgot to post Nightshifter lol.

Due to the likes and reccommendations of my Anime Girl screenshots,I have this one portraying a thank you and a wishing you well kinda’msg.
I did need to change the title to the 4th Anime girl and then her name,didn’t feel direct and to the point with the others.

Anime Girl 4-Midori
Requests!Requests!
I can accept requests for custom anime characters and I will pick the best said character description as a definite request I will carry out.I sometimes on some days cannot have the mind-set to do one but hope you catch me on the right day.
So tell me on Xbox your anime girl description(maybe even a boy) and send it to my Gamertag. :slight_smile:

I will try out the Deadeye spotlight,I just need to find willing people or friends to help me.As you can tell I haven’t got it :,( -Madame Gothic :wink: lol Receptor
