Share Your Screenshots, Tips, and Tricks

> Stealth4ce, to be honost, I actually really like Vice. It just feels real easy to look at. However for Virtue, I love everything in the shot besides one detail. The spartan’s crotch is highlighted. Buzzkilled that screen for me xD.

Haha! I can see how that would ruin it. :stuck_out_tongue:
Thanks for the feedback! :slight_smile:

> Check out my file share boys. XxLEGENDxWOLFxX

Hey I checked out your file-share and I was pretty impressed.
This one in particular grabbed my attention. It reminds me of Halo 3 when you are in a shadow and then you throw a flare and a spike grenade. I don’t know how you made it look like that but it looks very cool.
Then I also liked this one because of the interesting angle and concept. It’s rare to see something captured from underneath and I think it’s really awesome how you made it work. Then of course the idea of the dusty trails is pretty neat. It’s like… Stardusty trails. :slight_smile:

Cool. Hope you make more and post 'em here! :smiley:

Finally made a Haven shot. Both the shots I took for the Magnum theme and my monitor shot Event Horizon were all on Haven, and they kind of drained me of ideas. I got this though, good enough :stuck_out_tongue:

Ascension

Good Morning/Afternoon ALL!

Had the opportunity to play several custom games with a group over the last couple of days. I have saved several hours and multiple maps to go through. Most game were with swat type game settings with no teams, or 2X2 newer action sack games. The games were fast and furious and I did not always come in last place :slight_smile:

These are the initial shots that made our list. They are basic in game shots with juicy and colorblind on.

It was a fun several hours, really enjoyed the games. Special thanks to Kreezon, ReyNok7 and my son NeonSnewo for spending their time with me.

Looking forward to seeing everyone’s forum screen shot’s and Good Luck to all those participating in the Haven theme this week.

Deadside
Blindside

Both screenshots have been made with Lady Vanquish whilst we were playing around with effects in Haven.I hope these get somewhere in the spotlight.

So my teal screenshot got used in the latest bullitin. ( Incase you guys havnt read it yet its here )

Not gonna lie I feel really acomplished right now. But I’m not gonna stop creating screenshots oh no no I’m gonna keep going! :smiley:

Next screenshot theme is grenades so just remember to tag your shots with “Grenade” and “Halo Waypoint” and as always, Good luck!

Mecha I know the feeling. This is my first time making the bulletin as well. To future screenshots.

Edit: I just realized BOTH of my entries made it. I’m pretty psyched.

Congratulation’s to those selected in this weeks “Haven” Spotlight!

Looking forward to seeing next weeks spotlight theme “grenade” entries. I am guessing alot of plasma will be tossed around this week. Good luck to all participating.

Thanks everyone for posting your screenshots “also” in the forum. It is a lot of fun watching your idea’s, style’s and project’s come to digital life.

Have a great rest of the week and weekend :slight_smile:

Congrats everyone :slight_smile:

Reminds me of that feeling I got when I first got on bs angel’s website Halo3Screenshots.com
It really does inspire you to keep at it just as you all should. Good luck with the grenade theme, I’m really curious to see what can be done with this.

No one has posted any grenade screenshots here yet? I’ll break the ice, don’t worry. After some looking around on the new maps I’ve downloaded, me and Fluff found this diamond of a screenshot.
Fruits of Our Labor
Enjoy that if you will. This was taken with no effects which is a plus.
There’s grenades in it and such but its not so easily noticeable. I might try something else later in the week.

I Like! (It is a plant thing…) Great title and imaginative use/placement of the grenades. I also like the amor color choice’s with the lighting, fog and flora.

Yeah I was struggling with thinking of some sort of idea for it so I figured I’d sit this one out. To be honest I didn’t think anybody was going to be able to come up with anything super unique, but then… Your screenshot. Dang. It’s so creative and amazing! You are the definition of imaginative and resourceful. Really awesome job and I’m looking forward to seeing this shot as the cover photo for the spotlight. :slight_smile:

Solstice

Sanguine


The top screenshot is my entry to the grenade spotlight and I hope that many of you get in it! :smiley: I called it Solstice because it only made sense that it would be named after the highest point in which the sun lies.Solstice was taken on the map Daybreak if you haven’t guessed by the distinctive tree and foliage.The connection where the screenshot has grenades is featured in the tree branch itself,frag grenades were placed here because of the tree having a certain warty texture to it when I saw it being inside.(Is the tree a flood parasite or somethin’?) Heh I thought what harm will that do?Anyway I’m pretty proud of it nonetheless.

The other below Solstice is called Sanguine because it has a connection with red apparently.To be honest it reminds me of The Elder Scrolls Oblivion and Skyrim but that’s just me.Anyway Sanguine has a dark and intimidating angle which looks up the model spartan. It was taken on the map:Shatter because of the crystals set in the background.I took the model with the crystals because it deeply looks like the spartan is protecting it as if it were her possession.(Shiny things :D)

<mark>-Gothic Lucy</mark> Good Luck!

@Gothic lucy I really like what you’ve done with sanguine! Love the crystal type things in the background and the spartan has a nice camo type look. Very very nice!

I really like solstice, the nice balance between the light and dark, the spartan fits perfectly in the shot like it belongs there.

Well done!

On a side note to everyone else I’ve been recently lacking in creativity ( screenshotters block? ) so I doubt you’ll see any grenade themed shots from me this week. Hopefully I get my drive back come next week.

Hello everyone, I have been working on this project for the past two weeks and now I’m very happy to reveal my latest Forge Art:

Something big is coming

This was a bit based on the two Summer 2013 and Spring 2014 Tail posters for Godzilla 2014. It’s a hybrid project with using rocks and building pieces for the tail while also playing around the FXs and death barrier coloring to give it a sense of dread. Original, I was planing to have some mini buildings in the background but they don’t look too great to keep. So sadly they were left on the cutting room floor.

Overall, I very proud of the final product and I hope that you enjoyed it.

My 3 newest from the party session last weekend. Complex, Juicy and Color Blind. The game was a FFA Shotty Snipper variant.

Running Low: (I think this would have been better with the visor and the second armor color shade’s of purple.) https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/players/z6nitro/halo4/fileshare#?details=a76c70d8-87a1-4e83-aad4-95240abe2f3b

Chew on This: (I would have tagged it a funny, if it did not look so final.)
https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/players/z6nitro/halo4/fileshare#?details=e38c2fae-fdcc-4c7b-b66c-1aecc3f72536

A Gift: (I would have liked it to have been a shade brighter.)

@Gothic Lucy - I really like Solstice. I am a fan of several of your sniper screen shots.

@s452 - an interesting forge piece. It definitely looks like a tail.

Have a great week ALL! :slight_smile:

Good evening everybody. I have more screenshots to share, unfortunately I am a bit late on doing so, at least from my perspective anyways, but before I do that, time to take a look at the screenshots I have missed out on by some of the other gifted photographers here on this forum.

Gothic Lucy, fantastic job on all three of your screenshots (You forgot to post Torn Paint ). For ‘torn paint’, the ‘paint’ actually looks bright and lead based and would make sense for it to chip as it appears to do so in your photo. As for ‘solstice’, I like the grenade bouquet trap the spartan-IV has created in the photo, waiting for it’s prey to come along and await an explosive surprise. As for ‘Sanguine’, you wouldn’t have happened to utilize that knowledge that RECEPTOR 17 and I figured out to create that FX with the crystals, or did you happen to find another way to do so? I am really crious as that looks awesome. Well done with all of your photos.

S452, amazing Forge Art yet again. I know I watched you build this on and off like the first two, but I see your dedication and patience surely does pay off. I know I had fun riding a mongoose off the back of this forge art as well, but the art itself is amazing, fantastic job with your forge art. It does look like the tail of Godzilla.

Mecha Sh0ckwave, you have recently released some rather vibrant screenshots. ‘Teal’ and ‘Colour’ are both very vivid. I also really like ‘Steel’ as the photo looks embossed. ‘The monitor’ is really trippy with the fx you applied. Well done with your photos.

topsniper707, you have some interesting screenshots. I like ‘Honor - Guile’, a sit has that yin-yang feel to it, darkness and light :slight_smile: . ‘Fruits of our Labor’ strongly reminded me of an old favorite magic: The Gathering card called Nourish, so kudos to you if your photo was trying to reference that photo. Even if not, quite the unique idea, well done with your photos.

XxLegendxWolfxX, I am impressed with the FX you managed to pull off. In your photo ‘Drawing’, I know that involved an autosentry explosion with some gadget FXs present. I have to admit that was a really nice catch. Well done.

Tayderp, ‘Ascension’ is a pretty interesting photo. I really like the light, did you happen to use the Nova FX for this photo? Nice utilization of light and elements in the background, well done.

Z6NITRO, you have quite the selection of awesome screenshots. ‘High Noon’ impressed me a lot. Despite the utilization of the ‘Next Gen’ FX, your photo feels rather clean and showcases the Prefect armor rather well. ‘Tri-Color’ also has a unique feel to it due to the combination of FX utilized in it. As for ‘Chew on THIS!’, it gave me a bit of a chuckle. Is that ‘Spartan-IV’ composed of Mgalekgolo worms? If so, that would explain the appetite for metal, lol. Well done with your photos.

I do happen to have more photos, but to ensure I can post them without issues, I will have to make another post.

I happen to have a set of new photos to share, and there will be another set later tonight, as an old friend has come back from Battlefield 4 to Halo 4 :). To start off, I forgot to share my ‘Haven’ themed photos.

Aquarium
Legendary Guilty

As for this week’s ‘Grenade’ theme, I had help from that old friend who returned, so partial credit has to goto him. Cartwright5 graciously gave me an old map he made on Impact called ‘Death trap’, and allowed me to make some tweaks and use it for a photo. There are some odd gravity settings to this map I took advantage of, especially when combined with plasma grenades and promethian vision. The photo can be seen as cool, yet funny. Also thank you Cartwright5 for the map in which gave me the opportunity to have a photo op for this week’s theme.

I Want Candy

I also have some other photos form the first batch once again compliments of Cartwright5, from some gameplay in Rumble Pit and Team Slayer.

Cartwright5-Chillin
The Leader is Back
Like Old Times
Playing Dead
Recon Training
Banshee FX Glitch XIII

‘Cartwright5-Chillin’ was something I accidentally stumbled across at the end of game footage from a recent Regicide game. him and I thought it looked cool, so I took the photo. As for ‘The leader is Back’, Cartwright5 and I temporarily had a truce in Regicide to take out an enemy spartan-IV who was causing us both problems, and the teamwork actually worked. Out of all my local friends, he has the best leadership skills while playing, so if he asks me for something, I am more bound to listen compared to other local friends, as I know that he knows what he is talking about.

‘Like Old Times’ expresses the fun times I had in the past with Cartwright5 and how our different playstyles work well together. He is more assault based, while I like to sneak. In scenarios, such as the given photo, he has to reload. While doing so, I sneak up on the enemy and assassinate. ‘Playing Dead’ was an odd occurance, where the dead spartan-iv was frozen in such a position. ‘Recon Training’ shows both Cartwright5 and I utilizing Covenant tech.

I have to look through some footage, so there will be a second batch of photos. In the meantime, great screenshots everybody and keep them coming :slight_smile: .

Good evening everybody, and as promised, a second batch of photos (I’m not the type of guy to do April Fools jokes). I am actually going to start with the funnier photos I have taken from the footage I watched.

Thriller
Sticky Detonator XL

‘Thriller’ occured during a game of ‘Last Stand’ one of the Alpha Flood quit, so I was the lucky guy to get chosen to replace that person. Little did I know was I had a dead flood behind me and that my spartan-IV would look as if he was doing the movement to Michael Jackson’s Thriller, lol. As for ‘Sticky Detonator XL’, it was odd random luck to find this in theater. Almost forgot, for those who wanted to know what Death trap is ‘like’

Death trap

The remainder of the photos are from games from last night which vary by game type.

Draw
Clash of the Leaders I
Clash of the Leaders II
Cover Fire
Pathfinder
Water, Earth, and Sun
Radiation(Called ‘Magic’ by Cizlin)
Double Sworded

That is all the screenshots I have for now, and I am sorry if not all of them are spectacular, some are for people who played last night int he group that I was in. I hope everybody enjoys photos from both batches I have shared tonight. Have a great night now and keep the awesome photos coming :slight_smile: .

@Lizking - Good job on all of your screenshots.
My favorite was “I Want Candy” and I liked the colors and setting for “Double Sworded”.

I find it challenging to discover really good in-game shots. And, I feel it is really rewarding when you view something novel and impromptu, or find a moment you did not notice in game and then capturing that moment.

Keep up the fun! Looking forward to your next batch(s). :slight_smile:
