When one dude makes a cutscene 20x better than what we've seen from infinites custcenes which has hundreds of employees, 6 years, and the largest gaming budget ever, really makes yah think. Amazing work. Btw, if anyone complains just look at the cutscene of that banished leader from last year, that was supposed to make us say "wow, this looks great"

[@B1-997]

to this day im still of the belief the only 2 reasons 343 had that much money and time into making infinite and coming out as meh was money laundering and/or sheer incompetence. Bungie would have made an utter banger of a halo game with that budget.

Sad that this looks 100 times better then the “halo” show on paramount +.

[@GeorgeThoughts]

Oh man, that was amazing! It's clear SO much work and heart was poured into every frame. You've succeeded in two vital areas for me; firstly that your Spartan captures the more athletic and acrobatic style of the Halo Wars 2 Spartans which I love! The main series games always made Spartans seem pretty sluggish, and we don't talk about that fight scene in Halo 5... Secondly, you made the flood DISGUSTING which is fantastic hahaha they looked so fleshy and those pulsating pods at the end were nasty hehe. The Flood were also pretty scary and I admire how you built up to the Tank form's arrival. I think my constructive criticism is just to keep working on your combat scene cinematography but I think this is just personal taste. I liked your long shots so we could see what was happening, but personally, I don't like too many "impossible" camera moves where it flies around. Keep it grounded. With this in mind, I LOVED your first-person angles though which were very immersive. I'm excited for more!

[@My10thAccount]

This is cool as hell. The animation can be a bit stiff and sluggish in some sections, but the shot composition and the creative moves make those problem minuscule by comparison. Great shit dude. I also love that triple punch lineup. Reminds me of an old memory clad in black that I just can’t let go of.
