Definitely. It's assumed Reach is using motion capture because Bungie talked about their new mocap studio earlier. I'm definitely looking forward to the new animations, the game can really benefit from it.

Didn't they use motion capture for the previous games? I remember seeing a Halo 3 making of video before where they had a guy acting out a marine being hit by a gravity hammer.

I think they just used those for reference. Motion capture is where they put the "ping pong" balls on the suit and have people acting out motions and having that captured.

[Gui_PT]

Haven't you heard? After the Reach credits you get to play the second level from Halo CE remade on the new engine.

You tease. Stop teasing you lying teaser.

How will HaloGAF Reach-ify their avatars? With ODST it was easy because we just threw ODST helmets on them but what can we do for Reach? We could write Tom Morello on them lol. Nahh. Who knows, maybe some cool symbol or logo will come out that we can hook them up with.

It'll be a lot easier once some media gets out.

Reach's version of Flight will be glorious.

[xxjuicesxx]

Probably be making our avatars dual wield AR's or some shit.

[Letters]

The Marty avatars you guys did for Halo 3 were hilarious..

For Halo Reach, urk's red beard on everything. Unless something awesomer comes along during this long ass year of waiting.. unlikely

[Domino Theory]

Anyone have this issue? I tried talking to urk about it, but he just ignored me.

Anyways, I had an old match that I kept in my File Share until I had the render minutes needed to render it (It's a 12 min. film). I render it, I start watching and about 4 minutes in at a point where I get killed, the camera moves away from my dead body. Once the respawn ticker stops beeping, the rest of the 8 minutes are from the first-person view of a random teammate.

First of all, what the fuck, it just ate 12 render minutes of mine and ran off.

Second of all, I didn't even know it was possible to view your teammate's perspective in FP.

It might just be the same thing as ODST but with classic Spartan helmets.

[Domino Theory]

LOL, you guys have to see this week's Waypoint Top 5.

You're going to LOVE #3.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you through all your reloading."

[ZayneH]

Or just blacking out the main thing in your avatar and put a orange glow in the background.

Or like Tashi said, TOM MORELLO.

uhh yea this shit happens often. I've bitched about it before in the Halo 3 thread, RIP. It usually happens when you fall off of a map. However, I don't think it's limited to that. It's a weird glitch, really annoying. Whenever I capture entire matches, I have to babysit the film so that it doesn't change perspectives on me.

Sucks that it happened while rendering :/

I was at Video Games Live in Gateshead last night sitting waiting for Halo, finally near the end up pops Marty O'Donnell in his office over Skype on the big screen.

They had time for one question from the audience and some slobbering, socially akward guy runs up to grab the question.

of all questions it was:

"Are you a fan of Final Fantasy?"

CHRIST!!!


Halo music made up for it tho Awesome..

Lol

[Gowans007]

Yeah I couldn't of rolled my eyes more, he seemed so chuffed with his question too.

The guy speaking to him made some cover telling Marty that the Final Fantasy composer is a fan of the Halo Music.

There was a running box and screen in the back of Martys office but you couldn't see jack apart from some framed art on his office wall of stages of the eiffle tower being built or destroyed.

Happy Thanksgiving American HaloGAF!

Happy Thanksgiving to me too! First game of Halo 3 in 17 days (feels like forever) and I get a Killtac (choked on the killtrocity) I'll admit that my foes weren't exactly worthy opponents though... Social Slayer can be like that

[ZayneH]

Happy Thanksgiving American HaloGAF!

Happy Thanksgiving!

[Captain Blood]

Happy Thanksgiving boys. Sadly I didn't take my xbox back to my parents this year :(

[Gui_PT]

Happy Thanksgiving Birthday!

[GhaleonEB]

Turkey doesn't taste very good, but we're cooking one anyway.

Hope you guys have something tastier.

I'll be joining customs again this week, should they occur.

[NOKYARD]

Happy Thanksgiving American HaloGAF!

and thank you USA!

everyone in the house has today off work because of your Thanksgiving

for the brits, Canada's Thanksgiving was 6 weeks ago

EDIT:

Turkey doesn't taste very good, but we're cooking one anyway.

ur doin it rong - either deep fry it or bag it

[Gui_PT]

How do you guys usually celebrate Thanksgiving?

We don't celebrate it over here ( we eat turkey whenever we want to )

[Tashi0106]

We're having a bunch of family come over, we've prepared a ton of food and we're all gonna feast up, tell funny stories no doubt and watch the Giants DESTROY the Broncos. After we're all done eating, I plan on napping lol.

[Popeck]

No thanksgiving in Finland. We are very ungrateful people. I don't know if I have ever tasted turkey. But I have tasted VICTORY. It was sweet. Then I failed to get platinum on Inferno II.

I might be able to join the customs on Saturday, if eurocustoms are a go.

[GhaleonEB]

By laughing at banned people.

And eating turkey.

Back on topic: the map Nokyard's been posting looks pretty great, though I can't figure out what to do from the pics. The dude always makes gorgeously forged maps.

Edit: is there a link to it? I thought he posted it but can't find it now.

[ZayneH]

It's Dani's "Leapfrog" map, where you try to capture territories on floating platforms. If that's the one you're talking about.

and yes, that was a idiotic thing to say

Edit: is there a link to it? I thought he posted it but can't find it now.

Like nokyard said, you're doing it wrong. Perfectly cooked turkey with cranberry sauce, gravy, mashed sweet potatoes, some mushroom and potato gratin, green beans with bacon...today will be awesome.

I'm also hoping to be there for customs on Saturday. I'm hoping to try Leapfrog *Nu*.

[Captain Blood]

I know there is a google wave invite thread but HaloGAF has to stick togeather. If any of you guys would like an invite just hit me with a PM.

Warning, Leapfrog requires the Ribbit or Leapfrog game type to be fully playable (important gravity settings).

Most things that taste bad can be made to taste good if you do enough things to them. I'd rather start with something tasty and make it tastier.

Thanks for the link, ZayneH.

I was thinking of returning to gaf customs this week too, hopefully not too many people have the same idea, it feels sad hanging around the main menu waiting for one of the 16 to leave.

Happy thanksgiving to NorthAmericanHaloGaf. And Gui is banned? damn.

[vhfive]

We're having a bunch of family come over, we've prepared a ton of food and we're all gonna feast up, tell funny stories no doubt and watch the Giants DESTROY the Broncos. After we're all done eating, I plan on napping lol.

my day seems almost exactly like yours.
hi-five for a fellow giants fan

[Dani]

And Gui is banned? damn.

He mixed up homosexuals with ciggerettes. Dunno how long it will cost him.

Happy thanksgiving, peeps, and happy thursday/friday for those of you who are un-thankful :3

Oh right, my shirts from the Bungie store came in I got the bungle shirt and the SI shirt. I also got a super-cool SI sticker and a bungie logo sticker which is now on my 360 THe SI sticker is on my wallet!

[Tashi0106]

Oh yeaaa. I haven't given out any invites either, so I can hit you guys with some invites too.

Well that sounds disgusting.

[MagniHarvald]

I never enjoyed turkey, I'd wished we had a more "Lewis & Clark" Thanksgiving when I lived in Bellevue since salmon >>>>>>>>>>>>> turkey, and it'd have felt more fitting. Oh well, no Thanksgiving in France, tonight's meal is pains au chocolat too lazy to do the dishes right now.

I'll be going home this weekend, so maybe I'll finally be playing some Halo again after a hiatus of over three weeks..

Also, what's this?

The link leads to this.

[ZayneH]

Well that sounds disgusting.

[Botolf]

No stuffing, where is it?

Did you eat it already?

[Zeouterlimits]

Turkey doesn't taste very good, but we're cooking one anyway.

Blasphemer!
Turkey with proper stuffing, gravy and roast potatoes.... om nom nom nom.

[Dax01]

Turkey doesn't taste very good, but we're cooking one anyway.

The texture of turkey isn't all that great, and the taste is anything but enjoyable. The actual stuffing most people use to fill Turkey is better than the turkey itself.

[DiabolicalBagel]

Blasphemer! Turkey with proper stuffing, gravy and roast potatoes.... om nom nom nom.

This. But I'd settle for just stuffing and Gravy if needs be.
Proper stuffing + gravy = ultimate win, justice, satisfaction and truth. =]
