  • Every Machinma is the same. Im summarising but it is always elites wielding swords doing different assassination animations repeatedly. ALL THE TIME!!!!

  • @BooneyVideo I am going to start a machinima aswell and I was wondering if you would be interested in partnering up? I can't seem to find your channel on youtube though

  • Depressing*

  • Very deressing

  • Well everyone who cares to even notice this comment :p I just wanted you all to know that I will be attempting to be a successful machinima producer without going through machinima. I like what machinima does by putting a lot of machinimas into 1 place but i feel like i wouldnt get as much "credit" out of it. By that I mean I like knowing Im the one that got it popular while starting from nothing. So I would love if you all subbed to my account and prepare for videos in october at latest. Thanks

  • Trippy.

  • Damnit, that looked good backwards. I only wish that I could rewind this damn video,

  • i wasn't happy my youtube and xbox live account got hacked, but i'm back 4 months later microsoft got me my xbox back and youtube got my accunt back and what can i say say, damn sam you got amazing mate, honestly its really really amazing

  • This reminds me of.... that dead island trailer...... SCARY SHIZZ!

  • beautifully crafted, and such a fresh machinima. well done sir.

  • OMG MY MACHINIMA IS IN THE RELATED VIDEOS BOX :D

  • Yeah how is this art !!!!

    all i see is this guy making random shangili killing each other and putting in a song that doesn't even fit this any how This is all you ever do Chicken Lord is warfare without a purpose :/

  • @NightRoadFilms you need to wake up, there are different forms of art, and the song supports the pain of war, your eyes dont see it i guess.

    dont argue with me about this either

  • I dont really understand is it minor vs ultra,zealot

  • this gave me chills

  • Excellent video.

  • Fade Part A coming within the week!

  • A modest battle scene presented in a unique manner with a supporting title and classical music that together makes you think you should be thinking hard and therefore conclude this is a "deep" and "meaningful" piece...

  • @PrinceBerith Couldn't have said it better myself ;)

  • @EvilChickenLord glad you agree, however, those words were not spoken in praise...

    let me break down MY OPINION: certain individual peices are mediocore to good, however the whole is manipulative; it makes you think its supposed to be "deep" and "meaningful" and overall "excellent".

    essentially, "its good because it says it's good" or "its telling me its good so it must be good".

    which I disagree with.

    my conclusion is you need a good writer to bring out your full potential.

  • Ways thy song or soundtrack called

  • Ways tht song called

  • cool but gay to rewind

  • That was deep. Great video QMF! You never cease to amaze me!

  • Why are so many people haters?

  • @aRMEd8uLL cuz alot of them are blind

  • The only bad thing about this video is, that somewhere in all of those elites attacking (or running backwards) is me. And I can't figure out which one of those elites is me, its like playing "where's waldo" only as myself being waldo.

  • Definitely one of my fav machinimas...sticks in your head well

  • I liked this one but it could have used some closer shots (without zoom) and slow-mo.

  • Lol backwards makes it look like elites are walking backwards while healing other elites with magic swords. =]

  • Even if you ARE too stupid to understand and appreciate the simple but nice concept of this video..... You gotta admit Backwards Charging/moon-walking Elites are pretty Funny XD

    Nevertheless: Great Video. I liked the song, too....

  • very nice!!!!

    

  • Nice use of the elite models

  • Comment removed

  • are you serious? so many thumbs down? i thought this was great :/ its fine by me. So i say keep up the good work :D 

  • Comment removed

  • Entertaining and well paced if u ask me,

    seems mysterious, but so simple at the same time

  • Not as interesting or dramatic as it could've been, but it was a very cool nevertheless. I don't understand why it has so many thumbs down.

  • Atavism is a return to a previous state, so thus the battle rewinds to when it started.

    Hope that helped all of you who found this confusing.

    You probably didn't understand INCEPTION either.

    Great video by the way.

  • @TheForceOfChaos Half the people who watched this video is like the retarded 11 year old "film reviewer prodigy" who said inception sucked.

  • @TheForceOfChaos That's not the full definition, man. It's a reversion to something ancient or ancestral. By that, I mean biologically. That means it has nothing to do with reversing the footage of a crappy battle.

    Ergo, the word is poorly used, and it only serves to help establish to us (the audience) that whoever made this is a complete and total hack.

  • @TheForceOfChaos wait, what does inception have to do with this? These are two different concepts, but i guess i see where youre coming from.

  • Why is it that everytime ACTUAL MACHINIMA gets put on this channel people thumb it down?! GAMEPLAY ISN'T MACHINIMA.

  • I liked it. And the int reason you people are confused is that your dumb

  • So elites reversing time is supposed to make us feel? ......

  • 3:23 <==== best part

  • @xDigitalVirusx Watch the fucking video and stop trolling you no life!

  • I love how this song goes really well with this machinima. Its very sad, yet entertaining.

  • awesome

  • Yeah,i liked the Dead island trailer too.

  • Who still plays Halo?

  • @Ostnizdasht206 about half the the population of gamers actualy.

  • @shakenmikeg14 That's a bit exaggerated but ok.

  • @Ostnizdasht206 screw off retard

  • @SubspaceGamer That's a new one, screw off retard.. I'll have to remember that one.

  • @Ostnizdasht206 Yea, you should >_<

    Thousands play halo.

  • pretty well made but it seems all we can find in machinima that is good now is the serious stuff. i'm all for that but i think we should try and get some comedy in here. the farthest back i can remember a funny halo scenario that wasn't SNI was that skit called "Continuity problem" or something along those lines. all i'm saying is i like these depressing and dramatic machinimas but could we get some kind of comedy in here? it's kind of like a funeral all you can think is "JUST FUCKING LAUGH!!"

  • Really interesting. I don't know why there are so many down votes, it was directed very well.

  • that was amazing. :o

  • this is much better sanity not included, which is a more expensive version of idiot box. just aying sanity isn't original like so many people think.

  • @zakattak80 this is incomparable to sanity... although i do agree with you to a certain degree that alot of their jokes lack originality. the fact is that comparing two different genres is like trying to put a halo game in a PS3, it is incompatable

  • ok the creator of this is giving himself too much credit, this wasnt that great. its just scenes of elites killing elites in reverse, it's not even in sequential order in reverse, in fact I think I saw a few repeats but from different angle. also why would elites fight elites when the description even names their ranks? are they heretics? they're both white. The music doesnt fit here either, tho its good music. I think trying to makee "art" was going in the wrong direction

  • kind of good

  • looks like all he did was film a match then played it backward in sony vegas

  • Great job, just copy dead island just with th same assasination over and over again.

  • Absolutely beautiful...

  • Cool video but i don't get it! I even read the description and watched it again and still don't get it!

  • would have been better if it hadnt repeated itself for the full 3 minutes :/

  • Dear lord. Not every video on Machinima needs to be funny. The fact we all expect them to takes away from the very point of Machinima. Video games are expressions of both entertainment and, to the more cultured and intelligent people, and art, at least for some games. There are serious Machinimas, funny ones, action filled ones, but that doesn't mean to say that art can't be put into a video game. Forge has this ability, no other game does, they made it so we can do what we want.

  • @hiddenhawk13 obviously not all videos need to be funny i actually prefer shows that have drama & story but whatever interpretation this vdeo was trying make was totally lost on me [ :- l

  • @hiddenhawk13 A lot of other games do however the only one better than halos ability to express oneself is gmod although for this type of machinima halo is obviously the best but I just thought I'd mention you should think about other games first before you just say stuff like Halo is the only game that allows you to change the in game stuff.

  • @hiddenhawk13 and the half life engine too :D

  • @hiddenhawk13 :) thank you. People need to see that not all machinimas need to be funny or action filled. This machinima is TRUE Art. like this if you agree.

  • @ShadowScytheReaver13 Thank you, we were very proud to release this to the machinima community.

  • @CyberPsycosis maby they did mean to show fighting elites ;-)

  • 124 people don't know what is art. :)

  • is it just me or did this guy just copy the dead island trailer layout

    Remove the zombie with elite

    Put in quiet piano music

    and put it in reverse

    I bet the director thought it was an epic idea

    but in my opinion it shit!

  • are they copying the dead island trailer? i think they are.

  • Just another useless, pointless video on the internet. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THE DAYS WHEN MACHINIMA WAS GOOD? WHEN PEOPLE KNEW THEY COULDN'T MAKE EMO WAAAH WAAH SHIT IN HALO! YOU CAN ONLY MAKE FUNNY SHIT! THIS DOESN'T WORK AND IT NEVER WILL!

  • @WargBlarg its ad that people think so narrow of what a machinima should be.

  • The Concept behind this wasn’t a bad one, the execution just horribly failed. This video can’t be criticized for being unoriginal, but it can be cricized for failing at what it could have been.

  • Just cos psn is down dorsnt mean u can bitch about and dislike all the halo machinimas

  • I think that it is brilliant. It is telling a story in reverse so we so the ending then how it was played out. Keep up the good work

  • Great idea! but u came up short :/

  • @zNozzo they don't accept from their public drop box thing. Don't bother sending it there. You need to send it to their Facebook app "respawn army"

  • What a fantastic idea, and what an awful execution. The whole slow mo backwards thing is such a cool idea and could convey so much emotion, but this had no background, factions, characters, or anything. This director just invited all his friends to fight as elites and then took stock music and played the footage in reverse.

  • @Naranja797 It's not stock music, I composed it myself. I also happen to think that people just want COD gameplays nowadays, and nobody TRULY appreciates the effort that goes in to making a film like this,

    meh, you're entitled to your opinion though, just trying to point out that it's a difficult process (even though i wasn't involved in the film at all, only the music)

  • @Naranja797 you sir, are expecting far too much from a 3 minute video, you sound like a film critic, although your points are valid the fact this is a 3 minute video not a 3 hour film does make them ridicolous.

  • @StevieRawks just calm the fuck down

  • @yoshikiller1 No I think he's right. Half the shit on machinima right now is just that, shit. I honestly cannot remember the last good independent machinima I've seen and all that gets uploaded now is weird shitty artistic stuff like this and glitches in GTA IV.

  • Wow they would use the most basic intro their is. Half of youtube uses that shitty intro.

  • i liked it, very cinematic, but i would like to know why they are all fighting...

  • Its not so bad. I learned two things! 1: Elites can move pretty fast while walking backwards, and 2: Elites can bring other Elites back to life with their swords! :P

    Machinima is running out of ideas ._.

  • This might have been really kickass... to Merlin. He's the only one who lives backward in time.

    For the rest of us, this would have been totally cool if it wasn't reversed.

  • that suck pretty hard

  • i liked it but it was more of a trailer

  • I rather liked it...

  • intristing, but should have been shorter and when they stopped at the end it needed story so people on the internet can understand

  • I though it was an interesting experiment. I think that people who whine about this kind of video and then unsubscribe shouldn't have subscribed to Machinima in the first place. Machinima is more than people making video game and pervert jokes; these guys were actually trying to make something different. I certainly found this better than other machinima put up, yes, but you can't expect gold from every video a channel posts, especially one so large as Machinima.

  • Work on the story a little more next time. :)

  • i flagged this video as animal abuse since elites are animals.....

  • I liked it it was kinda cool but what they could of done was center it so that the fighteing lead to piont before where every thing was real peaceful so to add more emotion but other than that it was real cool and artistic almost.

  • I DONT UNDERSTAND?!?!?!

  • i can't say this video i bad which it is but i can see (somehow) that whoever did it at least put some effort into it.

  • I have sent them a video of How to create a elevator in Minecraft and not a water one but a real one made out of stone and gold.But they dont accept it but they accept this crap.I am sorry but its true.I some how dont like mach that much.

  • WTBalla

  • The first two were a lot better

  • umm ok, Machinima, im unsubscribing, im tired of hoping there will be a good Machinima video and being let down 99% of the time, Goodbye.

  • 87 people wish they could do better lol

  • That was a little trippy to me. Cool beans.

  • @stevierawks u r a ass stop being a ultra hatter and rooster teeth is boring besides redvsblue

  • it was cool but it would be better if it was going forward

  • stop crying about weird videos. Go outside and ride a bike :)

  • @Shacnon You should be talking

  • thumbs up if you heard killing spree

  • @aaron23707 i heard "eerps gnillik"

  • This would have been pretty cool as a one or so minute machinima, but not a three minute one!

  • OMFG change the mortal combat advertisements i get really annoyed when the same advertisement comes over and over and over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over again

  • I don't see why there are so many bad comments... I actually enjoyed this video. And besides, there's no need to be so insulting about it. So, you didn't like the video, that's no need to insult the guy who made it.

  • you guys do seem to realize the art in this video?

  • @Cyberpsycosis There is no Art in this video...

  • @Cyberpsycosis Yes.. the great art of reverse.

  • @SmubiHD no the fact of if we can all go back in time to the peaceful days thats the art in this video this is what i see and if you would look at it this video it is more then meets the eye

  • @Cyberpsycosis It would be a good trailer, but not a whole machinist video

  • @Cyberpsycosis yeah I don't get why people realize this is art not just something for the LAWLs

  • @Cyberpsycosis Piano music and special effects on your text do not equate to art. That said it was very clear they put a lot of effort into it and I respect that.

    The production was good but lacked depth. It was entirely in reverse and didn't tell us anything. It was Elites fighting Elites. We didn't get a why, where, when, or even a who, really. Nameless, faceless Elites just slaughtering in reverse.

    It would have been successful if some of those questions had been even partially answered.

  • @blackbirdlore Hey guys, I'm the creator of this machinima. You can match my username with the directors channel in the description. Ok, the point of this video wasn't to define the battle, but to protray in a totally different method. Not just reverse, but in a way that kept you guessing. It leaves you with only your own opinion...the word Atavism means to return to a former state. Hence the reverse battle. Just think about the visuals and meaning behind them.

  • @EvilChickenLord ......I personally didn't think it was all that interesting...sorry

  • @Xenshia114 Thats fine. Your opinion. At least you didn't shove it in my face.

  • well, if you watch it bakwards you still have no idea on whats going on

  • Even elites can do the Michael Jackson...

  • Lol, machinima has gone downhill so much, if you like good short movie machinimas come here!

  • when will the horrible videos END :(

  • HAHA wtf did i just watch? xD

  • /watch?v=AceHTD2Crzc

  • Is the title even a word?

  • What the fuck is this shit?

  • WTF was that?

  • Fuck this im going to Roosterteeth

  • my favorate part was with the pandas a truely great scene

  • Okay, I read like 10 comments and most of them were the same thing... "What the fuck is this? It´s just a bunch of Elites killing eachother in rewind!" Well, I personally think that they are younger than 10 year olds. I don´t know, but this COULD be a Machinima that Director wanted to do as a work of art and he may want to do a small Machinima with good, smooth camera shots. Jesus Christ stop bitching, you don´t have to comment, it´s not necessary. Fuck sake.

  • I'm watching Roosterteeh rather than Machinima >.>

  • this video promotes abortion

  • y'know what? NO EFFORT IS EVER PUT INTO A HALO OR COD MACHINIMA! ALL THEY DO IS GET ALL THEIR BUDDIES SHOOT AND EACHOTHER DONE! THAT'S CLASSED AS MACHINIMA- ITS PATHETIC-

  • omg it wasnt that bad everyone its like one person says its shit then everyone else starts to

  • i didn`t get it

  • Sham on you machinima... You made Halo look bad Sham on you.

  • Atavism is an evelutionary throwback, a reversal of modern technology if you will....

    What the FUCK has this got to do with a clip played in reverse with no meaning what so ever?

  • it may seem stupid, but when you look it's actually done quite well. nice camera angles, nice music for background and the style is not done so much. it also shows their "war" in a way that gives a more sad feeling instead of the adrenaline feel most people seem to want these days. it reminds me of "the scientist" from coldplay

  • Ok so let me make myself clear.

    I own a 360 and only a 360 no PS3 or gaming PC.

    Why is it that XBox games get so many machinima videos while PS3 exclusives get very little Machinima videos. Killzone 2 only had "the horrible helghasts" Uncharted 2 has Very good machinima editing tools but it also has Few series.

    in UC2 u have more choices to do etc, In halo there are lesser things to do.

    I mean u cant jump and dance and "realistically" teebag anyone(lol).

    I kinda wanna see more UC2 vids.

  • @fuclesh maybe cus many people jailbreaks their PS3, which makes some of them thread with more caution on the PS3 network. well, thats what I choose to belive. What do you belive? and for the love of god, dont rage like a premature kid.

  • @cmfalsen U call that Raging?

    and no PSN is more secure than XBL .

    Xbl has been hacked and continues to be hacked.

    yes the attack o PSN is more severe but i believe it was a personal attack on SOny after the Geohotz case and the fact that anonymous was behind it is also confirmed by sony.

    and u dont need PSN for making Machinima

  • @fuclesh Uh I don't mean to be a fanboy like you, but honestly PSN is obviously far less secure, otherwise it would't have been hacked now would it? Also this allegation that Xbox Live has been hacked, is false. The games on it have been hacked, but not the actual part of Xbox Live that matters. Also it wasn't a personal attack on sony, it was to steal money and credit cards. Why would you try and make Sony look stupid when you can just have shit load of cash?

  • @T3hBeanzor U obviously dont research.

    u also havent read my precious comment in which i say i dont have a PS3.

    and as a white hat hacker myself i can say that PSN is more secure than XBL.

    dont believe me? look at it this way.

    all of MS developed OS's like XP, and Vista, and also Windows 7 have been hacked and modded.

    MS makes the easiest to hack systems and that is a fact.

    trust me XBL has been hacked before and continues to be hacked but MS doesnt say this coz they dont want a PR disaster

  • @fuclesh Whatever. I really don't believe Xbox is easier to hack. And if you really are a hacker, wwwwwwwwwwwooooooooooowwwwww, you need better things to do. Also if Xbox is easier to hack, why haven't they ever had to shut the entire system down?

  • @T3hBeanzor ok First if a network is hacked it doesnt need to be shutdown UNLESS personal info or Serious crimes like Privacy invasion or MASS PIRACY doesnt take place.

    anyways MS has a different policy to tackle Hackers and modders.

    Instead of releasing Updates like sony does. they BAN xbox's from connecting to live if a MOD or pirated game is detected. i believe this is more efficient than sony;s tactic but still u get the point.

    and watch this

    youtube.com/watch?v=xWdYm4bDey­M

  • Thumbs up if you'd rather bang megan fox than to watch this >:(

  • @raffeftw You would rather bang megan fox??

    are you retarded. I would PAY a 1000 bucks to bang her.

    Do you even know wh Megan fox is?

    if not then shes this REALLY hot girl who has everyone drooling with Naked photos of her back. only if she made porn i would live happily

  • @raffeftw I would rather bang Megan Fox than do anything else...

  • @raffeftw thumbs up if you think this guy's gay for implying that there is a youtube video that he would rather watch than bang megan fox.....

  • ...What has happened to Machinima? 

  • what is this i dont even

  • 3,23 min waste of my life pff
