I like the progression from just panning the camera out , to battles, and to a battle and forge mix. However I think you switched shots too quickly in the beginning. If you took more time between just panning out I feel there would have been a greater sense of awe. Other then that I enjoyed it, I liked the way the music worked with the visuals and I give you a thumbs up!
This paragraph provoked a thought. Is it possible that the Laser would be used mostly against vehicles if it was slightly nerfed? Possibly increase the charge time or enable a cool down time before a player can fire another shot? The latter sounds like an attractive idea to me.GhaleonEB said:
Shit, thanks guys. I really appreciate it.
I agree. That's a result of really just poor planning on my part. I tried to fit those sequences in and due to the time constraint, I had to increase the speed on a few clips. At the end of when I was done, I didn't even pay attention to the beginning because I was so worried about making it line up. I had a few seconds to spare and I definitely could have decreased the speed on some of those first few clips to make it go a little slower.
The best part of the trailer to me is the song. It's sooooo good.

Well, to explain this particular situation check your own Bungie.net Stats page. The Player Identification Strip (big bar at the top) shows your highest rank in Matchmaking visually via the Spartan Officer Program and also lists your total EXP to date and when youre next rank up will be. Currently you're just sporting the Spartan Insignia. The achievement is tied to you becoming a Spartan Officer which actually requires you to be Lieutenant (Level 10 in a ranked playlist and 70 EXP). The Player ID Strip at the top also provides a link to your Ratings History page (click the "30 EXP" link). Things will be clearer once you check out that page.Keikoku said:
Bungie has a couple of guides for new players. The How-To Bungie.net guide is a really good read. It is a little outdated as Bungie.net has gone through some updates but its still useful.
And there's also a Halo 3 How-To index with several articles for learning the game. Once again, it is slightly out of date. It lists old playlists and it doesn't cover the silver emblem Playlist Ratings (don't confuse those silver emblems for the overall Rank History rating).
That separate ratings system, the Playlist Ratings, are explained in this Bungie.net article. There's plenty to read, I know. It makes me wish Bungie would put together a newer guide as I'm sure that are people who've been playing the game for months and are still confused.

Nice job, Tashi. That was fucking awesome.
Yeah, you can skip grades if your Skill Level is high enough. You'll automatically level up once you hit the set numbers you see on the chart.Keikoku said:Yep, but what about Sergeant Grade 2/3 and Gunnery Sergeant ? It will just skip these ? How do I manage to complete these ?
This is really confusing
Check your Ratings History again and follow along.
Here's an example: Let's say that you have 59 EXP and you're Level 10 in any ranked playlist. When you win your next ranked match, you will earn 1 EXP making your EXP count total 60 EXP. Because you're Level 10 in a ranked playlist your rating will be promoted straight to Lieutenant (which requires 60 EXP and Skill level 10). You will skip Gunnery Sergeant Grade 2, Grade 3 and Grade 4.
You don't need to complete all of them. For example, here's mine: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/RankHistory.aspx?player=Willeth
If you look, you see I skipped the two last Lieutenant ranks. This is because I reached a skill of 20 before I had got 100 EXP, so when I did get the 100th point, I moved up a ranking level. You can never go backward, so even though I got 200 EXP after that, I was in a higher bracket and so didn't become a Lieutenant Grade 3 at that point. It happened again between Captain and Major. Which is where I'll probably stay, because my internet connection isn't reliable enough for Lone Wolves right now, which is where I have my 32 rank.
If you look at the bolded EXP levels you can see that if I got my rank up right now, I could become a Commander Grade 2, a Colonel Grade 2, a Brigadier Grade 1 or a General Grade 1 depending on where my rank was. However, the way it's weighted, I'd never skip a rank type completely, only certain sub-ranks within it.
EDIT: Also dude, you're quitting way too much. Right now it's an eighth of all your games.

GhaleonEB said:Very well done, Tashi. The pacing was matched perfectly to the music. Loved the climax near the end with the spinning brick. :lol
Also, I will admit to smiling when my map came up.
Haha thanks. Yea I kind of took the clip without asking. Hope you don't mind

I'll look at Tashi's trailer when I get home. Can't see it now, but can't wait, though!

you made the final cut twice if you noticed. There's a tiny clip of you throwing the flag on Orbital while the camera pans almost 360 degrees around you. I was fuckin around with camera angles and saw that and I knew I had to put it in there. Your flag throwing is the best I've ever seen
edit: Lol that spinning brick. Every time I see it now that you guys mentioned it, I can't help but laugh. I had it like 1.5 seconds longer too at one point but it just looked ridiculous. If anything could be more ridiculous than that lol.

My avatar, took the WIP model of the recon helmet into maxwell render just to test it. Material is a BSDF mixed with an IOR of titanium (the red and black), and the visor material is an IOR of gold with a nm coating of a BSDF as close to polysulfone as I can get. No textures, just plain materials, and the glow was achieved with Maxwell simulens.

Saw Tashi's trailer: thought it was alright. The ending with the 04/09/09 topped off with the Halo 3 logo was done very well, though.
DcLevartho: Love these updates with your work. Very good.

Very nice. The visor looks very similar to the Master Chief cat helmet. *shakes fist at cat helmet*DcLevartho said:

When I get my box back, we're having a flag run-off. Then we'll see who the best runner is.BladedExpert said:You know he's telling the truth yo!!

Haha, that cat head helmet had a much more 'orangey' tint to it, though I do see the resemblance.
