In Response To: MC Kicks Elite Butt (rossgemuend)

With respect to motion and graphics, superb. The graphics for both the elites and the Spartan are better than the actual game, and the motion is not choppy. What more can I say?

With respect to innovation, this is indeed very innovative. I've been waiting a long time to see fan movies not just using halo 2 footage, but a medium you have more control over(what software did you use?). Not only are you innovative, you're better than what I've been waiting for. :) Seriously, if you could make a fan movie entirely from kick ass renders, and put it to cool music, I can't see how MPRRS could fail it if you chose to submit it.

With respect to combat realism, I don't know. The first elite...is he sneaking up on the Chief on all fours? That's something a brute might do (a predator), but not an elite (a warrior). Big difference.

Think swords, something natural to an elite fighter. Picture the elite coming at the Chief ready to an execute a combo (face-to-face). The chief backs away from the first diagonal slash, another diagonal slash to make a 2-slash 'X' combo. The elite then brings the sword in a ferocious full circle around its body in a giant sweeping motion designed to cut the chief midsection. It brings its arm back and then initiates a fearsome thrust which barely misses the Chief's head. The chief uses that moment to grab the elite's sword arm, and grapple from there, and the beautiful kick to the head.

As for the 2nd elite who jumps in with the arms spread apart, and chest, face, neck, and groin wide open, I think a more natural move would be to jump, clasp both hands together above the hand, bring the arms slightly behind the head, and upon landing, attempt to initiate a forward crushing blow on the Master Chief's head. The elite's pretty much putting all faith in gravity. The result would still be the same, but it would look more natural.

I also recognize that natural movements put into a render can be the hardest part of the render (aside from designing it). Just some food for thought, but I'm seriously awed.
