[Roche]

Well I'd say it has something to do with the host latency and all that, I once managed to like glitch into another players perspective and it was pretty noticeable that bullets were coming out of his gun side ways and everything like that. Maybe Bungie could find a way to compensate for that though, they are ninjas.

Also I'm grabbing Roche when the servers go down can't wait.

 

[wwm0nkey]

I hope Forge and Theater 2.0 both have a green screen option.

 

[InvincibleAgent]

Don't know, might be a networking issue. However, if on Narrows while watching a film, your dead body falls off the map, sometimes it will change the perspective to a different player in first person. As far as I know it happens on maps where you can fall off of it like Narrows or Guardian. It's a pain in the ass as capturing those maps require baby sitting.

Betray someone to see more per death

 

[feel]

Looking at these pictures reminds me of my biggest (pointless) nitpick concerning Theater mode and screenshots. The BR and AR "tracer lines" ruined many otherwise perfect action shots. Especially considering that the lines come directly out of players' heads! :lol

It's a minor petpeeve of mine too (I even mentioned it a few pages back), that really only started to actually bother me once Screenshots were introduced to Halo.

A few days ago, in a moment of total boredom, I did a frame by frame analysis on all the vids released so far, and the tracers still look incorrect in almost all of them, except for this AR scene from the very last vid, which has me thinking that after 10 years, maybe it has finally been fixed, but it's very hard to judge from this perspective, so I'm not getting my hopes up.

You're talking about the lines coming out of the opponent's gun?

Yep.

[GhaleonEB]

If the beta has the screenshot feature enabled Ghaleon should make a screenshot thread for it once its up. Either that or we just take over the Console screenshot thread in full force

For the beta we should probably confine the content to the beta thread, not sure how spin offs will be received. Either way I'll be populating the thread quite heavily with screens if the feature is enabled.

Screenshots are in.

I love you so much. But I've always had a thing for red heads.

I still find it amazing that this isn't a standard feature in every video game. :-/

I know I am biased, but Bungie's feature sets are still typically three or four times deeper than everyone else's.

Yup. I keep saying, Bungie sets bars that other developers are struggling to reach by the time Bungie is busy raising them again. I'm really ticked that saved films aren't standard. :\

To get in on the nostalgic Halo 3 screens:

Over 1,300 pictures saved. So many memories. Halo 3's been good to me.

 

[Lazslo]

I'm hoping for the Saved Films 2.0 we can view the match from anyone's perspective in first person.

I think this would be a code or resource allocation issue. I wouldn't be shocked though if Bungie shipped this in the retail game, they always find ways to impress me with features. I have feeling that we are going to be really surprised with some new feature that is still yet to be known. However, I also felt this way about the Ipad before it was revealed so who knows.

That would be great for analyzing other players' strategies... Perhaps bungie wants people to be able to keep their secret strategies?

Yeah it would be great to see how someone killed you in the first couple months when the maps are new and tactics are still being learned. I know you can watch 3rd person in H3 but watching first person allows for so much more understanding of what actually happened.

 

[InvincibleAgent]

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Pennybags]

Look Up

Classic

I take boring screenshots.

 

[gibration]

Here are my fav that I took:

 

[GhaleonEB]

And then there was the time a Flood Combat form picked up the flamethrower I was using and went on a rampage with it, which ended in my fiery demise. I'd killed an Elite form, which was re-animated by an Infection form, who woke up and snagged the beauty next to him right off the bat. If I knew they could do that kind of stuff, I wouldn't have left it out in the open!

 

[Thermite]

Really dig this 'shot. I love how the red flag is on the side where the red player died, and the blue flag is on the side where the blue player died. :lol

 

[Foxy Fox 39]

Whoa? All the cool kids are posting their shots? Nice. I'll add mine.

Can't wait to do this type of stuff in the beta!

 

[timetokill]

Joining in the fun!

 

[ACE 1991]

My turn! This is back from my old gamertag in 07.

EDIT: crap, the pictures aren't working :lol

 

[Feindflug]

Here's my little story:

Halo = <3.

Bungie, I know your servers would probably need to replicate at the rate of bacteria to catch up with screenshot output this would generate by users... but it would be the ultimate goodbye gesture for Halo's MP that would leave a lasting effect on everyone. Just find a way to get it in, I don't care if I can only take one of these in every six months (or pay Bungie Pro), ration the ability output these masterpieces if you have to.

C'mon everyone, Team Throwback only has 122 people on it right now >.< EVERYBODY GET ON AND PLAY!

 

[Wizman23]

Wow 4 weeks from now at this time we hopefully will be downloading or have downloaded the beta by now

 

[Popeck]

Okay, I'll join the screenshot craze.

Look, it's huge!

But I have no eyes!

Panorama time!

I won't paste more, but there's some more on my Flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/28562477@N05/. Most of the pictures were taken for an article series.

I don't understand what you're asking for.

 

[Gui_PT]

From that time Bagel, Zayneh, a friend of mine and I took about 2 hours to finish the last level

 

[bobs...onGaf]

All these pictures just remind me of how amazing Halo 3 still is, I really do think that if it came out this year it would still feel superior to most games. The day Reach comes out will be the end of a era

That said, I would like to see Reach up the bar with the objectives you face instead of just "get to point b, kill x, survive" sorts of objectives

 

[squidhands]

:lol :lol :lol

I wish you guys were there last night. I would have been able to drop at least +40 on that Pit game instead of just +32

You, sir, are a beast without equal. You should be making money at teh Haloz.

A little LTTP, but I had a great time with GAF Customs this weekend (sorry, Merguson). I'm totally down with H2 customs; hopefully the maps will stay loaded on my 360. I keep getting an content error message every time I fire up H2, even though I have all the maps. I'll see if I can get it sorted out before then.

And since we're all showing screenshots, here's one of my favorites. Me and the wife, killing each other (it's actually great therapy).

Romeo & Juliet

 

[randomlyrossy]

Not one to shy away from following the crowd, screenshots!

Some more recent ones I thought were cool.

These are some of the first or at least earliest shots I took the last one especially is still one of my favourites.

 

[Shake Appeal]

^___________^

 

[DiabolicalBagel]

From that time Zayne took about 2 hours to finish the last level while Bagel, a friend of mine and I sat around wondering why he kept trying the same damn jump.

Fixed.

Seriously, Zayne... it didn't work the first 30 times... why would it work the next 50?
We had some good laughs in that game though.

 

[Apath]

^___________^

Wow, I really want to try that map now :lol

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Well, here are a few of my screens that I like

Giant Chief!

 

[Popeck]

Not directly related to Halo, but Bungie's Brian Sharp's GDC 2010 lecture on "Concrete practices to be a better leader" can be watched on GDC Vault: http://www.gdcvault.com/play/1012346/Concrete_Practices_to_be_a_Better_Leader

 

[The Librarian]

Screenshots are in.

Nice. I'll definitely be making heavy use of the screenshot feature during the beta.

That's a good question.

Oh, you tease.

Anyway, I was browsing the console screenshot thread and was surprised to see so many Halo 3 admissions. Then I remembered there was a Halo 3 screenshot thread and how awesome it was. We can't let the Reach screenshot thread die.

And since everyone is doing it....
Chaos!

Flare

Riding High

MC Looking Up

What's Left...

Also, it's Beta Map Week™. Where's my first map?

 

[squidhands]

Also, it's Beta Map Week™. Where's my first map?

Yes, one map revealed every two days would be exquisite.

 

[Iknos]

So, what, you just want Bungie to add the Juicy filter to each map?

Yeah I think they could fix the color balance through shaders. Never thought of that.

 

[Kibbles]

For the beta we should probably confine the content to the beta thread, not sure how spin offs will be received. Either way I'll be populating the thread quite heavily with screens if the feature is enabled.

Yeah the Halo 3 screenshot thread was filled with constant bickering about how the screenshots are different from gameplay blah blah blah.

 

[AwesomeSyrup]

Well, here are a few of my screens that I like

That one looks a lot more graphically impressive for some reason.

 

[bobs...onGaf]

That one looks a lot more graphically impressive for some reason.

Except for the bullet casing, it looks almost real, I actually thought it was a promo shot or something :lol

 

[Ultimatum]

People bitch about how gritty and colorless games are, but when it comes to Halo it's suddenly too cartoony and colorful. The issue is that Halo is Halo, and for that very reason it will be hated on by:
- Hardcore FPS players
- People who dislike FPS games
- People who dislike anything popular
- Sony/Nintendo fan boys
- Trolls

I can guarantee you that despite no one complimenting Halo for its colorful visuals and style, one of the biggest complaints of Reach's visuals will be how it's too gritty and brown. They'll also probably call it Call of Halo or Halo of Duty.

Cross off hardcore players, because any hardcore player would know about Halo's competitive scene, and thus like it.

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Its so true, a lot of people get the impression skill goes out of the window with Halo which makes me laugh.

Apprently because CoD has realistic graphics and is all grey it takes more skill. :lol

To be fair though I can think of people who play Halo enough to see the skill factor involved yet choose to stay away. Thats why Halo is so good, I enjoy mucking about in semi competative BR games, while others enjoy mucking about on Zombies or driving about Hogs and playing bumper cars. Its great how its not mutually exclusive either.

 

[Sai-kun]

My turn!

edit 2: yay they work :>

Bet'cha can't stick it!

This one came out so awesome :3

One of my favorite kills ever :lol

Another sweet looking kill.

Moar Splaser!

Reloadin'~!

I call this "The Heartstopper" :lol

And this one is from one of our amazing custom games of [[HALO]] on [[HALO-_-]]

Sorry if it's too many pics!

 

[CrazedArabMan]

You guys made me go back and look at some of my photos, it is a shame though that I didn't really use the feature that much.

Nice Photos:

Funny Photos:

And don't even ask about this one...

Those are great!

 

[Hydranockz]

I'd be willing to bet Halo 3 will still be played an awful lot once Reach hits.

Damn I am so excited about Reach. I am bursting at the seams. Halo 3 was beatiful! Looking at those fantastic screenshots makes you think, Bungie gets nostalgia. So many stories can be told, memories relived, teabags captured in a timeless manner. I really dig the social aspect compared to other games.

Also guys, I may want to stream sometime, but I am rather naive when it comes to what exactly is involved with capture cards and whatnot. Any tips?

 

[Schmitty]

I <3 explosions.

 

[DeadFalling]

might as well upload my shitty screens

and my favorite

[The Librarian]

Damn. I'm really gonna miss Valhalla come Reach.

 

[Kapura]

Don't worry Dax, I'm sure Lehto will make sure there are other good maps in Reach. Maybe we'll get a remake of it a la Coagulation. Asgard would be a good name for it.

Thor would be pleased.

Asgard would be an amazing name for a Valhalla remake.
