A Halo film with a $150+ million budget would look amazing, I have no doubt about that.

If you mounted a joystick on the back of your head, which way would you push to look up?
Can I play with the Beardfu?
If you're ok with playing with a drunk scrub.
Yea I don't mind playing with Risen.

I posted this in the FUD gaming side thread but I figured I would post it here. The following are my opinions, and while critical I tried to be constructive-
Ok, so my first impressions are as follows: This has a high budget, fan student film project look and feel. Part of this is due to the youth of the actors, which of course has to do with the story, but none the less it gives that vibe. The color correction honestly feels a little cheap, it really has that made for youtube vibe, and while yes I know this is meant to air on the internet, that doesn't mean it should look like it. I hope the color correction is just placeholder until they finish the actual editing of the project. The dialogue in the trailer felt very cheesy, but sometimes trailers cause that issue. Also, I'm not super fond of the editing cinematography, but its not awful by any count.
Master Chief looks awkward in action, he was just filmed in a weird, kinda of cheesy way. (he looks near perfect in this behind the scenes footage though!) Another issue, IMO, is the visor. While I know it was made by Oakley, it just doesn't looks right. It feels very out of place unfortunately.. Im not exactly sure what the issue is per say, but I don't like it. On the flip side, the visors on the Spartans in "Deliver Hope" did not suffer from this. "Deliver Hope" also highlights that the paint app on MC's suit could look a bit better, a more metallic and worn look would have been more natural IMO.
The ARs seen in the trailer also suffer from the same issues as MC, they kinda look awkward and out of place. The paint app looks more plastic if anything, and they seem to have no weight behind them and come off more like a toy.
Anyways, I know this is still in production, so Im sure a lot of the issues may feel minor after its all said and done. Also, that Warthog looks amazing, both in detail and in action.. Awesome stuff there! Im still really excited for this, but visually compared to past Halo live action shorts I am a bit underwhelmed. Still, I can't wait to see the Covenant in action, it really seems they nailed the way MC moves from the BTS stuff, so I expect the same with them.
Agreed, although I understand the budget has to go a lot further with FUD, the style doesn't have to take such a huge hit. Shame MC looks so cheesy.
So good.
Cool, thanks!

My favorite scene ever in a Halo Liveaction.
So good.

The back of your eyes go up when you look down. In games you're effectively controlling a dude's head, not two eyes. To get his head to look down, you must move the back of it up.
No, you're controlling a reticule.
Shots, they are fired.

I don't know who thinks "Oh I am controlling this dude's head through a joystick mounted on the back of his head" and not "Oh if I want the reticle to move up I should move the joystick up."
Exactly. You're not controlling the back of the head of the back of the eyes. Especially from the point of view you have.

If we really want to get technical here, you're not controlling a person's head you're controlling the upper torso.
You see a wineglass. I see two people kissing.

Do you invert the X-Axis as well? if not you're living a lie and trying as hard as you can to justify it through falsehoods.

Don't even try to argue with the Inverteds. Some men just want to
watch the world burn.

Trying to rationalize default/inverted is silly to me. There's no inherently logical, right choice. I originally played inverted just cause that's what I was used to from Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. Then I got BRUTALLY AND MERCILESSLY teased by my friends, and eventually submitted. :-D

There can't be any difference between inverted/non inverted (except that inverted definitively means upside down); they need to prove this scientifically already.

Thats true, inverted is for old folk who only played Microsoft Flight Simulator then tried more games and were like "wtf mate?"
Flying a plane, yes inverted makes sense, because they are controlled by rudders and the yoke.
Controlling the lookstick of a character you are supposed to be...default makes sense.

question for the canadians, where do you buy astros or headsets from? i dont want to pay a crazy amount for shipping and duties

Look at your mouse cursor on your screen. Push forward: the cursor goes up. Pull backward: the cursor goes down.
I'm not flying a plane, I'm moving a cursor on a screen to shoot dudes.
Forget about whether you're controlling the back of the head or the eyeballs.
How do you hold your controller?
Does it face you, so that pushing the stick forward (towards the triggers) means pushing it 'up'? Or do you hold it in your lap, maybe even tilted downward a little, so that pushing the stick forward means pushing it 'down'?
Might your answer have something to do with whether you play inverted or not?
I don't know many people who played a PC flight sim with a game controller.
