[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Chees3mz The gun-lowering animation is worth the testing. or you could just make a machinima mode only. just get it in the game...you allow it in system link...things in the game are abused everywhere. I have never heard of the gun lowering button being abused. you just sound like you don't care at all or want to put the effort into something that IS very important to a BIG part of the community that has made Halo what it is.[/quote] I don't agree. As far as actual Machinima goes, the player should have to provide the tools required to record and make the actual film. If people like Rooster Teeth have to use there own equipment to make their movies, others should have to as well. Why, you ask? Let's say if Bungie does make a fully loaded Machinima mode? Do you know how many people would abuse that? For one, all of those people who make the Machinima equipment would lose their jobs. Second, most of you forget that Halo 3 is a FPS(First Person Shooter), not a game for Machinima. Really, that's what Film mode is for, though some of you have forgotten this. This is one of the reasons Bungie made this mode, for Machinima. As far as the lower the gun "easter egg" goes, I agree with the players of Halo 3 that this doesn't really affect the overall gameplay, but I also agree with Bungie that this small problem is not a big deal/issue and doesn't really deserve the attention it's getting. As some people said during the "Map Announcement Forum", actions speak more than words, though I don't know what actions could be taken to get Bungie's attention on this. Plus, trying to fix this problem could cause more problems. Let's not forget the GoW patches... *shudders with cold chill*. Really, you can still move up and down to make it look like your character is talking on Live, but I do agree the effect is not the same without the gun lower. Though some weapons offer a small lowering rate, such as the rip-off turrets. This is only a suggestion, not an answer. I also saw someone suggest this: "If you don't like Halo 3, play Halo 2". I agree with this person. If you want to do Machinima with the gun lower, then go back to Halo 2. I agree with those who want to do Machinima on Halo 3 due to the better graphics and armor, but you're going to have to make sacrifices if you want the gun lower Easter Egg. Really, it's either: A. Try different weapons in Halo 3 to see what gives the best gun lower rate, or... B. Go into Halo 2 and deal with only one set of armor for both races and limited colors. Or you can try to Mod, but now you can go to jail for that sort of thing, plus I'm pretty sure Bungie would get a bit mad for someone tampering with their pride and joy, so I don't advise this, unless you're willing to go to jail to make a movie.
