I don't remember this scene at all
Sounds cool to have a long term project have it come to something.

I haven't seen it, I'll check in once I do haha.
Yeah, I'm not complaining. My life can be a bizarre but fun one at times.
...Yeah. What level is that from?

I think he meant in Halo 2 when she runs towards the activation panel, don't recall it in 3.
Seeing as the index is digital in Halo 3 (with Cortana) I suspect it's some joke that's flown over our heads.
Neither would I really myself.
or I typed 3 instead of 2 because my phone screen is smashed.
Ahh, was going through Halo 3 in my mind and it didn't add up. Thought it might have been a typo.

I was about to boot up 3 just incase I missed a cut scene during my many play throughs.

the one when the arbiter..
Man Halo 3 Anniversary is gonna look great in 7 years
That seems like a source film maker gif waiting to happen.the one when the arbiter..
Textures as such a mess in that cutscene/area that even on PC with settings maxed out I struggle to differentiate what the hell is happening in the background. Like when the Arbiter falls into the floor... it took me years to realise that there was actually a hole there for some reason.
I hope they fix that in Halo 2 Anniversary.
At the end of Halo 2, after Tartarus is slain, Miranda jumps off a platform onto the main control area, runs towards the Index and grabs it.
The animation isn't very good; she runs in a nearly fixed position until she grabs it.
Hence the infinite frames sarcasm from Frankie. He just wrote Halo 3 instead of Halo 2 accidentally.
That, or it's a reference to the end of QZ, where she grabs it while holding onto a tentacle.
Well, all of her animation isn't stellar. But the ending sprint is particularly noticeable. I'm sure Mr Stinkles is directly referencing that.
See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho3Li0rh1xE
Such an odd thing to remember... almost as if he's seen it recently in a build of Halo 2 Anniversary...
Side note. If Halo 2 Anniversary does happen, can they still use the celebrity voices that are in the original? I know Julie Benz is there as well as Michelle Rodriguez. Plus a few others
Halo 2's terrible running animations are hard to forget.
I know, I know. Just makin' a joke.
And you just ruined the opening to Gravemind for me. I'm never going to not see that now hahaha
Um...I'm not seeing where she ups and freezes like in that gif. (I do remember that one).
-- He's much too busy with his new basketball career and drawing fake phones on batteries to have time to play any newfangled Halos.
No, it's just a distraction to get us off his trail!

I wished Bungie expanded more on Miranda's character. Perhaps 343 might with H2A?

No clue what you're talking about. I'm just kinda new here. I've had an account for a little while, just lurked for a bit. I mainly started posting on here, because of H2A. I also starting getting tired of bnet and other forums.
I still like the fact there's a cutscene in Halo 2 that's still using the previs animation. A character just SLIDES AWAY
If you watch the Halo 2 making-of you can see this exact animation in the blocked out version
Triple AAA production.

Miranda should be running up to pick up a copy of whatever gets announced at E3.
This is what happens when you basically have to push the last stable branch out the door before you even finish the game :lol
Staten mentions in the Making Of that he had to beg to be able to go in and add in a whole bunch of facial animation to every cutscene in the game.. in the last 24 hours before they sent it to manufacturing. The last thing being Miranda's surprise face when she sees the other part of the control room coming at her.
Someone good with editing needs to do this

Doritos and a 2 litre bottle of dew pls
You could also do it with the scene at the start of Gravemind where Master Chief teleports into the hall and grabs the needler out of thin air
Yeah it's kind of funny, that never really bothered me because I understood what they were trying to do (she's going as fast as she can without just slamming into the console.)
On the other hand, Chief doing his leisurely jog away from the cruiser about to blast him from suborbit always bothered me immensely.
No one can fault Halo 4 for its character animation--especially on Del Rio and Lasky's faces, the animation was incredible.
I believe the idea is that the Grunt threw it into the air in a panic and he grabbed it. Again, they didn't really have time to polish the animation so it's a bit of a jump of inferred logic.

That collectors tin.. still remains largely unmatched in good value, good design and good quality collectors editions.
And that making of disc, possibly my favourite in the "biz".

I still have all that from release
Halo 2 Collectors edition was such a great buy.
I was the coolest kid at a November 9th 2004 LAN party because I had the standard edition. Literally everyone else had the LE.
Haha.
I actually wanted a standard edition so much but was too poor to double dip. If I recall correctly the Collector's Edition booklet/manual is written in a Covenant perspective and the standard was UNSC? Or something like that. I know they looked different at least

Yep, you are right about the booklets.

Yup. That's the one area Bungie always nailed it every time. Their making off documentaries etc were always must watch. I'd hope that if Halo 2 anniversary is indeed real that there are some great making of features for it. Hell just future games. Hell I really wish every game had those. I just never can get enough of making of stuff and seeing old builds in action etc.

Sorry if a bit OT, but as anyone at 343i said anything about keeping halo pc and halo custom edition online after the gamespy closer?

So I got to reading the retrospective on Halo at edge and I see this picture. Where is this from? I never remember seeing a picture like this.
It looks like Halo 2 but it's way too high quality to be from Halo 2 other then a hint of texture blurriness on the armor. Is it fanart or something? If so whoever did that did an amazing job. If it's a screenshot taken from Halo 2 then how did they get it to look that damn good and where did it come from?

Looks like one of the press things that was in the xbox magazine.

Hmm. Could be. Weird though that I never remember seeing it. Either way imagine a shot like that done in H2A. We could probably pull off the amazing look of the announce trailer now days. lol
