Reviews for "Halo: TROTF Trailer"

You're gunna need to do better than this...

...especially for an 8mb flash movie.

Graphics: Work on them. Alot. I shouldn't be able to tell that the graphic was cut out of another image, and there are SEVERAL pieces of evidence of this not working - most notably Master Chief right at the beginning. Spare white pixels on a black background is simply too easy to notice, as is the not-above-par cutting job on the monsters later in the movie.

Sound: This is the only area you really did ok in - the music did fit, but it isn't worth 8mb. Theres not much for sfx, but there also isn't much of a place to put it.

Storyline: Dunno, its apparently an MMO in Flash. Two words: Copyright. Infringement. Microsoft went batsh*t over the Halo RTS project, so be extremely light-footed here. If they get wind of this and its looking to be a bad reflection on the Halo name, don't think they won't can it. And they might can it if it's a good reflection on it as well - they own Halo, and they want the profits from it.

Overall, I ended up ranking it a 0. You're looking off into the summer of 2008 and you're already releasing a trailer without much else going into this. I've worked with online games before - 5 to be exact.

0 have seen me change the build mode from Debug to Release, because 0 had the bugs worked out of multiplayer before release.

Get yourself a team if you really are serious in putting this together - even with 5 team members fluent in Flash you'll be hard pressed to get it to work properly. Me and three others couldn't get a c# game off the ground because we couldn't interact with the server properly - maybe you can do it with five.

And if this does happen to see the light of day, I apologize. But if you're looking out into the summer of 2008, you're looking at plenty of opportunity for disaster. Good luck, and I do hope this doesn't get blasted by Microsoft if it really does take off.

Blasted by Microsoft?

:/

Look. I was actually really looking forward to watching this 8mb trailor for a mmo halo in flash... I was very dissapointed.

you have to practice using layers in your screen shot editing, generally under a shield is the rest of the hunter.

you do realise the movie itself, without the music, is about 100kb... you just wasted 8mb of my life.

Do you have the slightest clue as to how you are going to make this game work? let alone online? I mean, this trailor shows off nothing.

The idea's great, it'd be nice if it works... but frankly this movie shows us you havent the slightest idea of how you'll go abut doing it.

I wasted 8MB of your life? So now life is measured in MB? Wow! I didn't know that! Besides, this is trailer numero 1 my friend... 2dn of all, I did it quick because I told someone about it and I found out that that someone stals movies from people so I rushed trough it so that he can't steal it and if he does he will get flagged
