The State of Halo 5 Theater

[@TheActMan]

This is a very important video! I feel the times I have talked about Theater, I really never nailed why it was so bad and such a big issue. I haven't gone back to readdress the Theater and I think after watching this video, I really should go back and do that! Thanks, Crespo for this awesome video! I'll get to work here! ;)

[@spiritwolf5792]

awesome!

[@ajollysonnyjim9907]

The Act Man thanks for bringing me to this video

[@Stuntmachine14]

Act Man brought me here :)

[@Randomlollis]

[@Mad_T3]

Kaleido Me three :)

[@TheActMan]

Thanks guys! Watch it all the way!!!

[@gabrielgustavsson6]

Me four!

[@hthornhill9038]

[@porterporter7154]

I completely understand the panic situation, I get it too. I love your videos and content, thank you so much for uploading. I hope you have a great day. :)

[@CrespoFTW]

Thank you for understanding :) and I hope you have a good day to

[@Ramazvous]

ur a legind at halo m8

[@SamHaugen]

Act Man also brought me here. You're voice is fine, mate. Nothing to worry about. Quality video here.

[@spiritwolf5792]

agreed

[@Bizmarckus]

I'm sorry that happens to you :(

[@iPlayiOS]

14:53 I fuckin' lost it haha! Thank you for making this video. The Act Man lead me here and I'm super happy he did. This is the type of content not many people dive into (except for you, Act Man, Wpns Grade and a few others I probably can't think of) and it's just facts on facts on facts. No bs. Thank you for making this video. And in the commentary bit, you're commentary was great. So good, I watched the entire video and was fully engaged the whole time. Even reminded some parts (like the AR headshot bit... Shit is too funny lmao) repeatedly just because my mind couldn't process how 343 allowed these problems in their product... You also said "I am not no Act Man". I love Act Man's content and commentary, and he puts a personality on it. Which is fine. He's doing his own thing. You're just a Halo fan (obviously a passionate one, alongside Act Man) who is creating awesome content. Idk how to put this across, but your commentary if absolutely fine. Please keep making more content like this. It was seriously amazing to watch. :) If it wasn't obvious enough, subbed, liked and all that shit! :) EDIT: Oh, and every clip was enjoyable to watch. Wasn't just simple double kills. Editing was on point, music, everything. Again, thank you so much for making this video. Definitely going to check out your other ones. :D

[@rosery7726]

I find your voice relaxing, but maybe I'm just a wierdo.

[@spiritwolf5792]

no, he has a good voice.

[@friskthehuman7398]

Thank god I'm not the only one.

[@l0n3w01f117]

Thought I was the only one

[@xxblackkzoruaxx5971]

Yeah same

[@Sephinova]

Your voice is fine man :)

[@Rythaze]

Agreed m8. The problems with theatre are partly the reason why making Halo 5 content is exactly appealing to me.

[@BroeyBroe]

Well Freakin' Said, Also feel pretty sorry about the panic attacks, hope you get past that! Even when you talked about that I was still liking the commentary you pretty much explained every problem I have with theatre :|

[@Jakomelo]

Dude you have a really calming voice and I could definitely listen to bed time stories narrated by you haha! And also nice job! I hope 343 sees this video.

[@SgtKOnyx]

Thank you for muddling through it and actually making the video! It's great to hear real people actually trying to get what they love to be the best it can be.

[@tritonk1759]

Subbed off the back of this vid. The work you put in is bloody incredible. Also, don't worry about your panic attacks. What's more important is that you're doing what you love. I myself suffer from anxiety; you just have to learn how to control it and take it one day at the time. Take it from me.

[@microsoftranchbottle]

I loved the video man, and I respect you for having the balls to get out of your comfort zone to talk about this. Much respect.

[@CrespoFTW]

Thanks man ;)

[@fookinlasersights4199]

I was brought here by act man and this was vary well made

[@RetroPlus]

Your channel is a gold mine! Oh, and don't be afraid to do voice overs! you did great it's fine!

[@TheBlueSensei]

Well put together video! Hopefully you can deal with your panic attacks, it's an awful thing to deal with. I have family who suffer from panic attacks and anxiety and I know from them having these issues there is always help out there whether it be in the form of counselling or medication, you can definitely improve yourself. Keep making these well put together Halo videos in the mean time though.

[@NobleSlip]

Your voice is so calming.

[@Elkatraz]

I'd say you've done the Halo community a service with this video, great job man! I can understand you being nervous, can't be easy making your first commentary ever while tackling a big problem like Theater.

[@elitexslayer1174]

Act man sent me! Great video too man!

[@NarvinCheeWood]

Great Video Man!! I'm glad someone with as much Theater passion and experience as you can portray the problems so accurately and with level headed commentary

[@S0RGEx]

You did just fine with the commentary, man. Don't worry about it too much.

[@LimySilver2]

You did fine in this video. Excellent points I hate having to record through DVR

[@warofdemons]

really enjoyed the video dude and I completely understand the panic attack situation, I have that problem when I record a video for a story I feel can't be done with pen and paper and I came here from act man

[@supremelorddaddyemperorpre6365]

Don't worry about your voice man, you are fine and I understand. The message you sent is amazing, and the quality of the video isn't as bad as you think. Keep up the good work.

[@sleepshouter5017]

That double kill sniper ricochet clip was awesome

[@MrWolf-ln1gi]

Mad respect to you bro. You gained a sub. Don't worry about your speech. I know how it feels. You're doing great, keep it up. Btw your voice is relaxing

[@spiritwolf5792]

Fantastic video! It shows prefectly what's the problem but more importantly why it have to be fixed.

[@phillipmorales8213]

Thank you SO MUCH for creating this video bro this was great! Your voice is fine buddy and actually really relaxing. I would love to see more videos like this one, thank you and you have a new sub. I'm excited to seeing more of your content you are a great Halo player and I totally understand your Anxiety I suffer from it as well.

[@recien2254]

Awesome video, your videos are high quality.

[@Masterlegodude]

Speaking of the Forge mode, 343 should let you change the player/monitor traits, and enable machinima like you can in custom games

[@theonlymilenski9195]

Dude don't worry about the panic situation. This is a great video. You made some excellent points and I agree with everything you said. Keep up the great content!

[@CrespoFTW]

Thank you, hopefully this slowly get around and thank you again for the support :')

[@vincewithslapchop3940]

Act Man gave you a little shoutout over on his channel.

[@maxfeatherstone3593]

Love the video, rewatching this was grate and you nailed it

[@spicymangos7272]

Love the video and respect you for not just accepting how the game is and don't let your panic attacked stop you from doing what you want to do

[@ben_6475]

I'm so sorry for your panic attack, your voice is fine anyways!!

[@nerdherd1819]

Thank you for making this video. I personally do not own Halo 5 and am moving from X Box to PC hoping that there will be Halo ports I can play. While I do not have and never will have this version of Halo 5 I am glad to have people like you show what is wrong by with it. This allows me to compare it to my experiences in other Halo games. I personally loved ODST and was highly disappointed that it did not live up to what it could have, including in theater. I hope your channel grows and you have a good day. This is Nerd, signing off. God Bless America.

[@koolerpure]

i think we all get those panic attacks after recording, hoping we made something good enough for others to enjoy. i get it i get the same thing

[@alia.4524]

just recently my game actually crashed from trying to go into theater. another time it froze because I forwarded during the intro sequence. One time my body/movement wasn't even close to what actually happened. it was the weirdest theater glitch I've ever seen.

[@KccArt]

Hay yo you did awesome with your comentary keep up the cool vids

[@aramwoo1972]

This is a great video with amazing points, don't know why you were panicking. It's of a really good quality. It's really unfortunate that theatre is crap. It sucks cause Halo 5's forge is incredible. Anyways, I hope more people will see this video. Preach!

[@QuietClips2]

loved the video :)

[@marcuss9181]

me

[@CrespoFTW]

Thank you

[@gaiusjuliuscaesar7765]

Act Man.

[@dylanmartinez6332]

Hey Crespo nice vid! You bring up lots if great points as to why the theatre isnt good. I don't see how people can not take you seriously, you're speaking in a mature way and are serious with your topic.

[@CrespoFTW]

I usually don't get taken serious about any problem, People listen for 10 seconds and then jump on the "Where the emotion/enthusiasm in his voice train"

[@dylanmartinez6332]

CrespoFTW well if those guys can't listen to someone who respectfully states their points, goes out of his comfort zones, then those guys aren't worth anything watching anyone's videos if that's what they come in mind with. Just keep doing your great job and do videos how you want do them.

[@infernospace0077]

i kinda sucks that you suffer form panic attacks but a really good video man, verry well spoken

[@lllXanderlll]

Not having Forge theatre support annoyed the crap out of me when the latest dlc launched and I tried to make a cool ODST background. Then I realized "Oh, wait I can't do that" so all the work I had done went poof. I really wish they'd clean up the bugs because I upload stuff and don't have a capture card. So I can't capture full rounds and trying to record long (5 min) game clips is cumbersome as all hell.

[@Stuntmachine14]

Seeing all these games from Halo Reach makes me disappointed that they're not in the matchmaking anymore (Elite TU BTB (Or Elite Game types in general), DLC Maps, and Action Sack). And H3 VIP

[@Jdog47892]

I already watched this but I forgot to comment last time lol anyway awesome video bro!

[@FiShDiShFilms]

Great video man, I agree the broken theatre in Halo 5 has killed a sub community.

[@Austism_]

Really good video dude

[@xXTheHeroicGamerXx]

Sorry for going to a different direction, but this is why rushing while developing and producing NEVER works out. Look at Sonic 06 and Sonic Boom for example. How buggy and glitchy the game as a whole is to this day. I know Halo 5 doesn't have the same issues those two games have (besides Warzone completely filled with anarchy). Seeing theater and file share having problems however, for almost a year since the release date is shameful. 343i...you should really know better 8/. I don't care if Halo 6 takes five years to be made in perfection. I know I'm not the only one on this damn website to believe in that. I hope the next installment has everything in store, just like what the predecessors have done for a long time. Rant closed. Oh, btw, I know the feeling of trying to make a commentary. This is an indirect approach but uuh...everytime I do voice messages on the 360 and Xbox One, I always put myself in a calm composure. That way, I breathe normally and talk like a gentleman. Then there are moments where I do talk fast. So fast, I have to repeat myself again until it sounds crisp and clear. Pisses me off at times xD. Anyway, keep practicing in the future is my recommendation. You're doing well thus far ^^

[@HelloZukoHere7]

I think Halo 4 had a really good campaign, And it was overall a good game it showed that 343 was trying to make a Halo game that fans wanted. The Multiplayer was way too Call Of Duty like, and they straight adressed that in the First Halo 5 apprence in E3. I think 343 NAILED the multiplayer in Halo 5 and the gameplay just feels fresh and fun to play in general. The arena is the best since Halo 2/3 and you have Warzone and Warzone Assault (Even though Clan farming ruins Normal Warzone) on the side to screw around and relax. But yeah, Outside of that Halo 5 is a fucking mess. I'm not even going to start bitching about the Campaign because I'd be here all day, but there is wayy too many bugs in Halo 5 that just drags it down so much. I completely agree with you, I hope 343 takes there time and makes a Campaign like 4 and multiplayer from 5 with little to no glitches, It's possible.

[@xXTheHeroicGamerXx]

I agree with you on Arena. Action Sack, Infection, Covenant Slayer, and many other playlists featured a long time ago (such as Super Fiesta...even though I got annoyed by the uh...orange Energy Sword which makes you invisible...yeah automatic camping weapon if used by the wrong hands). Anyway, I enjoyed every single one. For Halo 4, I didn't mind the CoD-esque loadouts. It was new in Halo standards so I felt completely alright with the change. Not to mention achieving the challenges was hard but rewarding. In my experience on Warzone, it's such a lackluster and a pain. Everytime I pick out a vehicle or a power weapon, I immediately get cucked hard. I'm glad there's Warzone Assault and Firefight you can split off to but still...it's as if most of the players have so much time on their hands. Not to mention I feel like, "Where's my team???" It sucks man, it really does :/

[@T-REXHarris]

Great video bro. It's a shame 343 is leaving it at this state.

[@otch6541]

This was a great video. I never understood why 343 did not put more effort into theater because they should be supporting content creators. It's free advertising.

[@sorryjustrich1049]

Came from the Act man's video Good job on the review

[@ElChuckador]

Great points, the lack of intuitive features in Halo 5's theater have kept me from using it.

[@memebrulee2860]

that splatter at 19:30 was hilarious

[@memebrulee2860]

god damn you pulled a few of them off you madman

[@KampzOnXbox]

Small nitpick but the Knight didn't disintegrate at the point it was killed/impaled :/

[@Nikieplays]

I take screenshots in halo and have to deal with these issues, at least those that haven't been fixed, all the time. I kind of wish halo had a better fast forward and rewind option so I don't skip back too far or accidentally restart the clip.

[@ChaplinONLINE]

I don't have any complaints with your commentary. The points you highlighted regarding Halo 5's theatre were outstanding. It's not right what 343i has done, but they are in the tendency to not address it enough that their initial reaction to all of this is to ignore it. It's not right, but I appreciate the video to make more notice of these issues.

[@commanderc80]

Great video Found out from ActMan great descriptions.

[@yungamare4750]

Even if there was a timer for the fliping elite it wouldnt help. theater doesn't save ragdoll animations correctly

[@wearsjorge55]

Great video mate

[@GivenToFly93]

Theater mode has gotten progressively worse with each title, and there is no good excuse. Great video about an under-represented problem! The worst issue is that the reticle goes off target, so the clips look fake or very laggy.

[@kowaitopapa2722]

Yes! Thank you for saying everything I feel about theater in H5. I enjoy looking back on my victories and multi kills but this mode is so broken. Halo 4 was good, not the best (No campaign theater) but at least it was there for MP. I do like the idea of DVR and the new options it has but there is no free roam, no enemy view, and only 5 min max recording. I use upload for my clip's but can see so much more potential to it from theater

[@HuntsmanHorus]

I agree with what you're saying, And don't worry about what your voice sounds like, I think it's sound great, also what is your accent? I keep thinking it's a form of a thick British accent.

[@exoticsheep4323]

bro you're so good at halo

[@CrespoFTW]

Well thank you :)

[@omertajayy]

I absolutely loved the video😁 and i don't have a problem with you slurring a little because I have problems myself with talking out loud and in front of other people, sometimes I have mental breakdowns because I think what a did wasn't good enough but these things happen to people and I want you to know your not alone in this! peace and good luck 😉😏😏😎😄

[@waffles2401]

thank you for speaking up! it says something when people like rooster teeth don't go to halo 5 because of the busted theater and lack of split screen. if the community lets these problems slide without saying anything then everybody suffers. el psy congroo!

[@darthvader4594]

Good video bro!we understand your situation:) action speaks louder than words good voice though!

[@lukeingold3501]

Great video :) keep it up

[@CrespoFTW]

thank you and will do

[@Tapetenscnueffler]

You've got some good points. H5 Theatre is broken. BTW you have some nice kills in this video :)

[@concreteeeEEE]

awesome video dude

[@hunterc1647]

Great vid this vid helped a lot also your awsome at halo

[@SomniaCE]

Awesome vid

[@darwfer1930]

Send this to The Act Man, then The Act Man sends it to Ducain23, Ducain23 Sends it to Greenskull, Greenskull sends it to Unyshek, Unyshek to 343. Problem solved.

[@CrespoFTW]

That would be interesting to see. But there been a reddit post that reached the top of Halo reddit and none of them took any notice apart from Act Man and other people

[@Ducain_Plays]

I'm sure we all took notice (I did)... I just don't normally comment on reddit...lol Also, I'm sure 343 has seen this... they always browse reddit and youtube... hopefully changes will come in Halo 5 or PLEASE at least Halo 6. Great video though... keep up the great work!!

[@CrespoFTW]

Ducain23 I know that they know. When someone post a server issue on reddit within 10 minutes or sometime more a response is given. I mean I do get it, you can't make the decision yourself and then later tell the team "Hey I made a promise to people on reddit, everyone get to work on X problem"

[@EchoLightEntertainment]

well the machinima community still has to work with it...

[@alowder245]

just relax, you do a pretty good job, you don't have anything to worry about m8.

[@brandonparson8821]

great video, but next time, please put subtitles on if yur having the same problem with speaking otherwise, have a good one : )

[@iaction9157]

I need to full screen how that

[@geofry145]

When you say DVR, is that when you hit the home button twice and hit "Y" to record the last 30 or so seconds of gameplay?

[@CrespoFTW]

yep

[@ben_6475]

Your the best crespo!!!

[@th3bendanator]

Theater wasn't a problem until Halo 5, why did it become a problem in Halo 5? Ps, that clip at 18:19 tho

[@IshFTW1371]

Gr8 vid m8!

[@xxblackkzoruaxx5971]

You're cool dude. Nuff said

[@edwardreyes5009]

I totally agree with you.

[@cheesychipmunk8382]

If recording your own voice is so uncomfortable, you can use text-to-speech. I'm by no means saying you simply shouldn't use your voice, not at all. I think you should practice and try to get better with speaking for long periods of time, as the video and commemtary are both incredible, this is an awesome video. I'm just saying that if you want a break from something you find so taxing, you can.

[@bancopopular1155]

great viseo man

[@bancopopular1155]

[@sorryjustrich1049]

[@Zephyrine.Koritsuka]

Fuck, these are still issues..?

[@BlueSwitch107]

Good video.

[@MrDgf97]

If you don't mind me asking, what are the motives of your panic attacks? Personally I start panicking when I gotta give an exposition or speak out loud with the whole room quiet. Great video btw, cool gameplay with meaningful commentary

[@toxicbullets10]

play this at 1.25 speed

[@John-it3wn]

every great halo you tuber has some sort of illness LNG Favyn Halo follower and others guys we don't judge y feel free to express y self the way y want

[@chrissanchez1712]

nice video

[@marcuss9181]

your voice is not bad in anyway

[@infinitehoops]

your voice is nice

[@Autizzler]

Well I think they know that halo 5 theatre is shit so they just put machinima controls on custom games

[@EvansL.]

#Bringbackelites??? No.....?..........Ok..........

#Bringbackelites yes.

[@patbate1896]

At least your a better conentator than me lol

[@campo8134]

sorry for breaking the 420 likes byze :[

[@Supermario0727]

If you have problems with commentary, perhaps you should add subtitles to your videos, so people can understand what you're saying.
