DIVINE ABSOLUTION (A Halo: Reach Machinima)

[ISN1P3RYOU]

i like it!

[KingSangos]

@ISN1P3RYOU Good for you :P

[ISN1P3RYOU]

@KingSangos wow that was a bit of an asshole move lol :P

[KingSangos]

@ISN1P3RYOU The oppurtunity was there. It had to be taken.

[ISN1P3RYOU]

@KingSangos haha true

[AngelSnow93]

Wow, this is so emotional to me, it made me feel so sad for him. I felt bad to see him suffer from all these troubles he went through.

Otherwise, I like this. :)

[KingSangos]

@AngelSnow93 You're actually showing sympathy for a member of an alien race who slaughtered countless Humans to achieve the title of Zealot?

Looks like I did well to get you to achieve that :D

[AngelSnow93]

@KingSangos Haha Actually, I do show sympathy towards them. The music is what's emotional to me. Elites are awesome.

[KingSangos]

@AngelSnow93 The Music needed to be CC (Creative-Commons) so I had to find musical segments from sites such as Newgrounds.

I really wanted to use Halo: The Return's Soundtrack but I had to go by mandate and rules :P

[anotherblueskittle]

Wonder if the Elite is supposed to be the Arbiter? Probably not, but the back story reminded me of him

[KingSangos]

@anotherblueskittle He's a Unnamed Golden Zealot similar to the Shipmaster in the Halo: The Return. He probably reminds you of the Arbiter since a vast majority of the Sangheili act culturally and ethically like Thel Vadam (Halo 3's Arbiter)

[killer13324]

@KingSangos halo 2's as well as 3's. and he was the fleetmaster for the fleet that was ordered to guard the fuirst halo

[killer13324]

@killer13324 first*



[KingSangos]

@killer13324 Thel Vadam was the former Supreme Commander of the Fleet of Particular Justice and he was indeed there at the events on Reach and Installation 04.

He was then given the disgraced rank of Arbiter in Halo 2 before he seceded along with a majority of the Sangheili Race in the end of Halo 2 and Halo 3. They formed a temporary truce with Humanity to defeat the Covenant Loyalists.

He was then given back the title of Kaidon during the events of Halo: Glasslands.

[killer13324]

@KingSangos the sangeili rank for the supreme commander of a fleet is fleetmaster. and yes i'm aware of Thel's renewed kaidon status and as events have played out, honor was restored to the title of arbiter. And both thel and lord hood wish for the cecefire to be permanent. it is the covenant loyalists and admeral parangosky who want the other race wiped out, feeling war will resume once either or both sides have licked their wounds and regains stability

[KingSangos]

@killer13324 Parangosky is not of a UNSC Admiral Rank. She is the Director of the Office of Naval Intelligence. The Rank of Fleet Admirals go to Lord Terrance Hood and his subordinate, Harper.

Its the not the Covenant Loyalists either. Its members of the Sangheili Council that still wish to maintain their religious and zeaous ways instead of moving on which Thel Vadam wishes to do alone. He wants Sangheilios to expand and become greater and much more pure empire.

[killer13324]

@KingSangos parangosy is of the admiralty, she has an admiral rank. and as stated earlier i even said that lord hood is a fleet admiral. and you said covenant loyalists first i simply followed suit. the sangheili who wish to return to the religous ways also want humanity wiped out just as parangosky wishes for the sangheili to fight amongst themselves until the UNSC regains stability and licks their wounds

[KingSangos]

@killer13324 Well I have to rest my case. Everything you said then was correct.

Still it is rather strange for Parangosky to be of an Admirality Rank considering the fact that the Office of Naval Intelligence was a completly serperate from the United Nations Space Command Defense Force with only a few strings tying them together.

Its just a bit silly to give a knowledge-based Organization Military Ranks since it is slightly redundant. Dr Catherine Halsey never even got a rank o_O

[killer13324]

@KingSangos there are some in ONI who have military rank. take the washed out spartan II serin osman. shes a captain and parangosky's protoge. and if you read all the books even glasslands alone it mentions parangosky's rank as an admeral. and if u read halo evolutions, the one story with the Mona Lisa, a prison transport, there was an oni spook who was ranked as a major.

[MyMw3KillCam]

This is awesome.

[KingSangos]

@MyMw3KillCam Why thank you :)

[KingSangos]

@MyMw3KillCam Thank You :3

[teamfragmentation]

from RotS, is this teacan? if so, that must be the reason Arbiter617 thumbs up this video.

[KingSangos]

@teamfragmentation Nah. I was worried some people might assume this to be the case.

This is a lone Golden Zealot Warrior. He doesn't have a name and his identity is ambiguious for the audience. Your can decide and think of what happens to him after the Machinima ends.

[Mylescast]

so uh... what about wings of equilibria?

[KingSangos]

@Mylescast Chapter IV is being released soon in Feburary (I can roughly estimate). This was just a personal pet project I wanted to do.

[2000platonew]

hey dude thank you for putting me in cradits.*smile's*

[KingSangos]

@2000platonew No Problem :3

[2000platonew]

@KingSangos what's this music called during the movie? it sound's so familier.

[KingSangos]

@2000platonew Should have saw at the end of the credits...

[2000platonew]

@KingSangos oh...

[Shinoobi808]

What was that at 1:40...the sounds

[KingSangos]

@Shinoobi808 Infected Sound Files from Left 4 Dead 2. I found them using the Directory Folders. PC Game Directory Folders are absolute gems to explore :3

[Awak3n3dDarkn3ss]

Haha notice the bade changes back to white at 2:55 after he says his blade is coated with blood.

[KingSangos]

@Awak3n3dDarkn3ss That was what I like to call "Lack of Change To Color" experience. At my stand point, If I changed the Sword red then the sky would turn bright red as well O_o...

[Alanmarine1]

This is deep. Time turns into history, and history tends to forget us. Unlees we dont let it, we do everything in our power to make a true difference.

[KingSangos]

@Alanmarine1 And thus the Golden Zealot makes his long and unforgiving path to Absolution and Understanding...

[evilfuzybuny]

really good it had all plot though could have done things diffrent and more things added on to it but it was a really good halo video

[KingSangos]

@evilfuzybuny The aim of Divine Absolution was to create a monologue and rememberance of previous events rather then showcasing the said events themselves. I want to picture the Sangheili differently in a much more "Halo" Standard. The Sangheili and Zealots are alot more developed in terms of character and story then people grant them.

[TheDHcommunity]

Awesome machinima man, mind watching my first one? ^^

[stonedfilmer]

Never knew you made machinima. Now I do, and if you'd like me to send this to M.com, please send a message my way.

[KingSangos]

@stonedfilmer So you want me to send the RAW Machinima File over to you? Want me to send it over my Skype or MediaFire?

My Skype Address: fear-the-kantus

[Artoofeva]

I loved it, Even though when I saw the video's picture I thought it was Rise of the Spartans Part 5. :P

[KingSangos]

@Artoofeva

I can forsee that kind of thing happening in the near future. I just hope people don't claim I stole a character. All Halo Sangheili Zealots are either Gold or Crimson. :P

[EightiethRocket]

You know what secondary color corrector works really well on? The revenants.

[KingSangos]

@EightiethRocket You mean to change their colour from Red/Magenta to a Blueish Lavender Colour?

[EightiethRocket]

@KingSangos Yeah, you can change it to just about any color and it doesn't really affect the environment at all. The plasma it shoots also changes. Looks pretty neat. Good machinima too btw.

[Bizargh]

I'm not gonna lie. This could be one of the greatest Halo machinima shorts I have seen in my lifetime.

The dialogue & music were a vastly beautiful & incredible combination. And Nile's performance was nothing short of astounding.

You, your majesty, have created a masterpiece.

[KingSangos]

@Bizargh And to think I went lazy on this one :P

[sniperdown23]

fuking amazing

[KingSangos]

@sniperdown23 Why Tank U :3

[sniperdown23]

@KingSangos no i dont think you understand, that was one of the best things ive ever seen

[KingSangos]

@sniperdown23 If I can't comprehend the joy that my audiences feel then I know I've done a good job.

[Sean360h]

Very good I'd nearly say that you should make it into a series after your finished with your other series

[KingSangos]

@Sean360h You mean Wings of Equilibria? Nah. I don't think this has the potential to become a series. I want the Zealot's Journey to be decided by the Fans. I want them to think of what happens to him in their own way.

[ObsessedDragon]

0:31 Light shines upon my ring too, HURR HURR!

[KingSangos]

@ObsessedDragon

Vagineer: HURRRRRRRRRRRR VAAAMAAMOOSSE!!!

[ReachForgeNetwork]

i had shivers up my spine all through that. congrats...

:)

[KingSangos]

@ReachForgeNetwork Tehee... I would consider this as being one of my favourite Machinima Videos. It doesn't make me feel embarassed to watch it :P.

[MSJREACH]

what is this about

[KingSangos]

@MSJREACH

Pay close attention to the details that the Zealot monologues. You should be able to piece the story together by doing so.

[TheHaloman247]

Awesome, as always
