Yeah, tell me about it, I really wish the maps in Reach stood out more.
Nice codpiece. :lol
Agreed. Merge the two of them for epic results.

I played some H3 today, game has not aged well. The framerate is so bad. I can't believe we all played it for 3 years.

I just noticed the black empty space inside the ring in the Halo 4 logo is a side profile of a Revenant. FUCK.

What?! I played it the other day with some MLG FFA and schtuff with friends, it was a lot of fun and the framerate seemed a lot smoother than Reach's.
Also kicked ass on my first games in a long while on Halo 2 Vista and Reach Anniversary playlist the next day 8)I played a few days ago, I still liked it.

Reach's framerate is less stable, I'll give you that.What?! I played it the other day and it was a lot of fun and the framerate seemed a lot smoother than Reach's.
I'm a big fan of Reach's locked 60 FPS.
I've never had framedrops in Halo 3 multiplayer.
The crazy is infecting everyone tonight...
At least not caused by the maps. Maybe if there's like a shit load of explosions at the same time, but otherwise not.

Alright, one more from me with more cinematic lighting, and then using devo's blues.
And devo if you want to paint a texture here is the UV template for you, don't worry about specular or bump.

It's not really a drop in frames that 3 suffers from, but just a constant stutter that I always noticed when turning around. I can't really tell if Reach has the same problem, that ghosting is always too distracting :/
DcLevartho's logos are sick indeed, but they are a little to urban. Halo 4 is supposed to be more alien and foreign. I like the Halo 4 logo as is, but seeing these ones you guys have made is really cool. I'd pick Devo's though. Nice color and uniform gradient with a subtle texture.

Thanks guys, banged out a beveled version, the last one had none, just lens distortion that made it seem like there was a little.
Just need to unwrap for texturing, or do some forerunner'ish stuff with the mesh in which case I'll update tomorrow.
That stuff was not as fun as the commercials made it out to be

The texture on those logos reminds me of Floam...
Hopefully I'm not the only one that remembers this stuff.

They are leagues different from my experience.
Yeah, I feel the same way every time I play it lately. I get some nostalgia bomb to play it and then a couple of games later I'm getting off and didn't have a good experience. Granted I always liked Halo 3 A LOT less than the majority of GAF to begin with. I was reminded how good the grenades were in Halo 3 last week though.
It was quite messy.
Remember this old fake H4 "alpha" video?
Just curious, do we have talented individuals here that can build things like this here? This one is pretty nice...

Edit: seems to be getting dislikes from viewers searching for halo 4 footage, hahah.
Halo 4 doiiiiiiii
Yeah how come you don't try something new though? Its not going to make sense in a totally new trilogy.

I feel like the texture and content within the logo can be changed but the profile must remain as it is what 343 has been marketing, or microsoft. That and I love the profile, having the 4 in the center just seems like poor composition with the lack of curves you can do in a 4. Having it be set in the ring solves that issue and gives it a more prominent look.

Im working on ... something similar to this. Its still storyboard process but keep your eyes peeled.

Awesome, keep it up, Im liking everything you have done so as long as you like making these, I think we all appreciate them.
Sounds fun, have an ETA?
So good.
Did you ever pick up snipe on Narrows? Framedrops galore.
I played Halo 3 all weekend and it was glorious. I'm thinking it will be a mix of Halo 3 and BF3 for me until Halo 4 comes out. But the netcode in 3 is not even close to Reach and framedrops were definitely noticeable at times. Nothing anywhere close to shitty Forge World framedrops, but noticeable nonetheless.

The four itself feels very bulbous, and it seems like you have a little too much bloom goin on
DcLevartho

I'm not sure what you mean by bloom, yes the lighting is higher on the center however that doesn't fall into the category of bloom without being diffused with a soft glow, which would be present on the black background considering I didn't separate by object-ID for any of those.
Bloom is something I could have added, during render time with more lens effects, or in post with a Gaussian-blurred, high contrasted, minimal color, linear dodge layer of the render. Neither of those things were done.
Could you clarify what you mean? If there's a problem I'd like to correct it, and even though I disagree with it being bulbous I can't for a second count my perspective as better. Sometimes new information can change perception, and that leads to growth.

Does that mean tomorrow is the drop dead date?

But I'd remind you guys what happened last year. Because of that, I'd say that HaloDestiny are really reliable source. And don't forget: They are french.
Obviously had to do with my name.
Edit.: Happy birthday Slightly Live!
I think the biggest thing is the visual weight of the piece overall. It's very unbalanced to the left wheres all other Halo logos feel even. The full oval with the piece coming off to the right should be balanced by the gap and the fours point, not over weighted by it. The eye is drawn to the left instantly and then to the right, making you kind of ignore the four and see it more as a symbol.
The bloom comment was just just more directed at the uneven glow given off from the lighting making it look kind of messy. Although I'm assuming these are pretty quick renders and so not the best IQ so that critique is kinda up in the air
Looks great though, don't take what I'm saying purely as a negative, just trying to help out
EDIT: I guess what I'm saying is more of a critique of the halo 4 logo itself? Ugggggg
Mine always kicks me out after a couple minutes, saying cannot connect to server. Welcome to Reach six!
Fucking fuck.
Remove jetpacks from Team Doubles.
Nothing like having two fucking guys just fly up to the tops of Synapse to have their shields recover and you can't even shoot them.

Also toss out Uncaged, why does this map plague so many fucking playlist?

Remove jetpacks altogether I say. Pissed me off so much yesterday, people abusing it constantly.
Nuke Uncaged forever and make it seem like a distant memory.
Elzar makes Andy The Blob look like Shakespeare!
I braced myself for defeat whenever Uncaged came up in SWAT, its pretty much the only MM map I've ever truly hated.
I feel like jetpacks make the map even worse. Even without them though, it's still such a pain in the ass map -- the spawnpoints, weapon and healthpack placements are rediculous.
