Save Films Mode in Halo 3 = Machinima-tastic!

Update: Bungie posted a simple FAQ about Halo 3 Saved Films on Bungie.NET - Enjoy!

For those of you who have been hiding under an extremely large rock, and even then, that rock would need to be within a really deep cave that had collapsed a number of years ago, Halo 3 will be released next week to the salivating masses (count me as one).

Not only with the Legendary Edition featuring Machinima stars such as Rooster Teeth and Chris Burke, but Halo 3 itself will be a Machinimator's playpen - specifically with the new Save Films feature that records all the action within a game of Halo 3. But rather than I blather on and on about how cool it is (and I could!), Bungie does us a solid by preparing yet another great vidoc (oh, these made-up film terms) that showcases Save Films proper. Additionally, the short shows us Forge, Bungie's game-editing mode that rips a page from the Garry's Mod playbook and makes it a playable feature on top. Talk about cool! Talk about innovative! Talk about excitement and the overuse of punctuation!!!

Ok, enough smarmy chatter. Over to you, Bungie...



If you still haven't had your fill of Halo-based Machinima yet, then sit back after Sept. 25th and let it wash over you like the humidity on a NYC summer day.
