Breakpoint - A Halo Reach Machinima

[Pancakewagon26]

They could have made the purple explosion with fusion coils.

[titanicfusion]

this is a good machinima but it could do with more speech

:p

[UltraJinjo]

This was fucking stupid!! Crappy visual effects, no background story, noob Spartans and noob elites this was the worst machinima I've ever seen

[UWannaCookie058]

@UltraJinjo thats not CONSTRUCTIVE criticism

[TheShadowstalker11]

so i guess every elite is an idoit and don't see the people that are right in front of them. gay.

[xXStickymaster]

And is the elite so retarded he just stands there and gets fragged instead of shooting. Pathetic

[xXStickymaster]

Wow how retarded. They have guns yet they're too noob to use they're f*cking guns. Yeah its cool and all but every kill doesn't need 2 b an assasanation dumbass

[NINJAKATS1]

what is the song in the begining

[Sparky2po]

Did anyone. Notice that he used a split screen for the elite

[danieledwards1971]

maybe some more talking but eps anyway

[theminecraftboy5]

why so many knives?

[theminecraftboy5]

HAH! GWAH! OH!

[slayer1528]

i liked it im gonna subscribe

[kansaskissers]

a good start i like it! :) practice makes perfect

[flourylist]

my constructive critism is make voices

[helltotheno1213]

not the best act. the wraith should have shot ON SIGHT.

[Paintchk218]

Nice.

[mokeyrock]

Good machinima, you remember e DigitalPh33r

[abcdefg39843]

this is beast

[xXTheRealRobzillaXx]

tha is one of the best halo machinimas ive ever seen

[AlchemicThea7]

I think it was all a very good peice all together. A dialouge of some sort would be nice though.

[lilKahann]

I have a machinima idea that started on halo 3 but the "leader" of the whole op just said 'screw it' and abandoned the idea. I took it to reach and improved on it. the whole episode/scean is readdy, i just need camera crew and actors. You guys at Jamesman have some good camera skill and ect, I was wondering if you might help me out. Message me on xbox if you want to help? gt = KaHann

[Jonnyboynitro]

ITs good I would say get more poeople to help and more elite and spartan fighting not just spartan ownage

[BloodDiamondExodus]

that has got to be the longest AFK i have ever seen in halo. That elite failed

[lovefortresscrafting]

really cool

[xDU8STEP1]

That was really good do u think I could play with you guys online sometime my gt is x D U 8 S T E P

[superassassin0z]

Wow, its really a nice change to have someone else other thank Machinima making reach videos, but some vocals would have been a nice add on.

[TheCALLofAwesome]

Were these elites like retarded? and i noticed they only walk straight so it must have been split screen.

[Sudam23]

why did you just kill the pasifist elites

[fingerboardcentral12]

how did you get the grapics good , so it looks like your playing it , like no fuzz , your camera makes it look good , it is good

[decimalwhale]

@fingerboardcentral12 its in theatre

[forerunnersantum]

@fingerboardcentral12 He isnt using a camera hes using a capture card hope that helps

=D

[LoyalReaper45]

WHERES THE ACTION??????

[meneerton6]

you know when you fire at a covenant tank why doesn't it return fire its like im here and you won't pass but i won't do anything about it

[bixanajoana]

whats the music that plays when the video starts i know its from halo but i dont remeber where

[ReconishFilms]

Im sorry to say this but, the Video wasn't very interesting, I guess you could of Added some Firefight Scenes where at least an elite shoots and hits a person, and the wraith scene was awkward and it should of shoot at least one shot!

Overall, not too good, but I hope you can improve better! :D

[I8RICKROLLERS]

what is the song name?

[MrWalkthroughGuy2]

Did anyone notice that there was only one enemy in every battle scene?

[Complexxdude]

Good angles good idea bad plot bad execution

[LoseGrenadePin]

There could have been more action, like an elite blew up a falcon with a plasma launcher, or the wraith killed someone, you know something interesting.

[ColoredAngel099]

not to be mean but foe future video advice(by my opinion). you should have commentary and explinations to whats going on other than, you know, bunch of guys assassinating elites the whole time. and maybe the elites can get some kills on the humans, or atleast a couple shots...

[1headphoneguy]

did anyne else notice that NONE of the elites even got a few shots at the spartans?

[90xnick]

This is kind of retarded. Players dont talk, nobody fires except the 3 Spartans, almost every kill is an assassination, and no good ending. Seriously, where do they go at the end when the Falcon flies away. Also, when they start to evacuate, it reapeated itself. There were 3 spartans and the Pilot, when the 1st Spartan got they flew off somewhere. The other 2 came along they flew off. But there was one other Spartan that got picked up. Horrible, Horrible ending.

[chaingang40]

qu one :why didnt they talk at first qu to slow grenade thrown qu three tank that dindt fire qu four why enemys not supresing fire i now its improvising but it couldt be much bether

[ZDaCosta13]

no offense James but i thought using an invasion map and its name as a machinima is a bad idea because you should make your own name instead of using another name but exempting that; good machinima :)

[C4M0DUD3]

I've always wanted 2 make a machinima on reach... but in a city! so if someone knows how and has a good city map, my gt is C4MODUD3

[spartan117chief1]

oye cual es ese mapa???



[TheWarboss7]

It really facinates me how you can make it... Apparently some people say it's used with tech used to make the game. I'm not an expert on Halo and only havet he first game so don't knowm much. If any of you guys know how they make it it would be cool. Just really interested.

[dalekalex]

it was good but near the end I heard the respawn timer go off and it wound be cool if the spartans could talk but it was really good

[zoeebrazz]

nice video dude 

[achilles117oo]

it was good. but 1 QU? was this all on a split screen or online helpers???

[JamesmanFilms]

@achilles117oo Online, The reason why it was dodgy was it was all improv.

[SpartanForgeWorld300]

@JamesmanFilms Can I be in a future machinima? I don't wanna be in a talking one though.

[NinjaiFLY]

@JamesmanFilms I thought it was very good you should make more!!! - I'm going to subscribe to you

[hard1296]

dude for being an experiment it was REALLY good :) hope you do more.

[geneal65D]

good all i can say is the animations could be better but other than that it was good

[PasterOfMuppets7410]

halo 3 severs are working

[dudzNavi]

lol wtf what that take on the blind eleits with some speech impared spartans ?

[Yoootuber117]

Why are the elites wielding swords in such a big space? It makes machinimas stupid when the elites are dumb

[mcman117]

 the eliets dont even try

[mcman117]

this sucks. the eliets dont even try

[Velkorge]

loooooool

Dam nice Shit Dudes! :D

Want more from this *-*

Awesome Work! :)

[Epiclimelord]

Sick.

[cg6823]

while this is good, you need to work on the fight scenes. it was mostly just enemies standing still allowing themselves to be killed. besides that, not bad

[vjocrazy123]

I make reach vids to but currently im making 1 my u tube is blockbox productions and my xbox is xxlil james06xx

[vjocrazy123]

A rangers of reach i will join im  xxlil james06xx

[scotishwolf2012]

if only we could ride in the seats instead of exclusively on the guns

[Flyer289]

@scotishwolf2012 Yeah...Sad they only let you do that in the story..

[unleashedtheworld]

oh yeah and my xbox live file is wolfdogma

[alb0star]

c00l boys x;D

[TheRangersofReach]

’m Co-Leader of The Rangers Clan and we currently need recruits to make our clan stronger, better, and awesomer. We are manly a Halo clan but we also play, Cod, Battle Field, Gears of War and more! Please come and join we accept pretty much any one in the clan. We have branches in our clan, Navy, Army, Air force, Spec Ops, and Recon. So come and join, if you strive for awesomeness! Our web page is on my channel and our recruitment video is on @ClanRangers channel, which is on my friends list.

[mlgmaddness]

@TheRangersofReach Okay you want these in your clan if so your ethier very dumb or very brave which one is it

[unleashedtheworld]

@TheRangersofReach i'll join... mainly because i like all the series of halo but. im just joining to see how it is,

whats your xbox live profile so i can be a part of it

[TheTacop1]

lol a 1:40-1:42 items on the ground......oops they missed that in the footage

[CoreCorruptant]

Just a bunch of assassinations and blowing up vehicles who don't fight back, randomly thrown together. Make a story line next time, and have the elites and vehicle fight back maybe? Just plain shit, and I only watched it all the way through because I thought it might get better.

[RediculousNinja]

And the plot of the story was... ??

[Geohawk2552]

wait a minute, you only had one elite

[PurpleMrBacon]

if i was harley from epic meal time i wouldnt say this is FUCKIN SMART! id say FUCKIN DUMB! i dont understand and elites on guard dont look at the door? and im pretty sure a wraith doesnt stay still same with the elites that died from the grenades? im just sayin i dont like it

[LoveMeee1295]

it good

[Minecraft1313]

Too many assassinations... 

[DoverDemonProduction]

One thing I would have done different is maybe not use the same elite to be assassinated over and over again. maybe get some of your friends with different types of elites to be in here than using the same elite minor.

[Ihaveaspartanlaser]

No offence 'jamesmanfilms' but did anyone else laugh when the building randomly blew up

[halodudeXD]

@Ihaveaspartanlaser i thnk that was supposed to happen...

[fluffygolfer123]

2:57 Elite: do do do, just gonna drink mah coff.....*sees spartans* SHIT!

[artedin1]

needs work, but good first try.

[TFHalo]

Really nice, but I think the Mission Impossible theme works well.

[Therrion1196]

Agreed, no plot except destroying 2 bases, and the Elites had downs. The fighting scenes were indeed horrible, in the future make the bad people fight back, not sit there and take grenades and always looking the opposite way. Also everything helps, could've simply made the Falcon not land but float off a little out of map and make him jump for it, would've added effect. And maybe Wraith shots around as you see the Falcon sly away.

Good luck to you in the future.

[mrredwolf124]

horrible no plot at all

[MrDemonDog666]

This is the most boring, plain and stupid machinima I've seen.

Come on! The Elites are just BEGGING to be slaughtered! And what was up with the end? Were they just shooting at the ground?

WORST MACHINIMA EVER.

[InfernalProductions4]

@MrDemonDog666 Learn to read Annotations.

[ThatGuyBen99]

@MrDemonDog666 Lets see you do better

[brantthew]

big problems. a good question is does this make sense? will i have ability to continue and watch, after all, there is about 10 assassinations in the beginning. I guess this is a ok film though.

[AceofSkulls913]

Elites need to put up a better fight otherwise awesome vid.

[DJMELITO98]

MUSIC IS THE BOTTOM OF YOUR VIDEO ????

[DJMELITO98]

OYE COMO SE LLAMA LA CANCION

[ErikPaulGames]

that was actually quite artistic

[HaloReachSprees]

Great video

[MrVengadorxd]

WHAT IS THE MUSIC

[TazmanD14]

IS AWESOME BUT NEEDS VOCAL EFFECTS FOR CHARACTERS TO BE BETTER VIDEO THAN IT WAS

[Halo22Reach]

nice i love already 10 secs in! great job

[TheRebelIion]

I really like ur idea but it looked a little to fake but good job

[errantelephant7]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO

[awyman13]

What is wrong with you guys. Why do you say the video sucks? Pretty frekin awesome from my standpoint

[CatostrophicGaming]

No affence but you suk b4lls badly. Your a piece of ****

[lukekellycopy]

@CatostrophicGaming No offence and you start cursing? How ironic.

[DUKESandNUKES]

any one notice at 4:59 you can hear the respawn beebs

[predat0r96]

That was the biggest piece of shit I've ever seen.

Very unbalanced characters, what were their names again?

Elites don't fight back, I didn't understand the Spartans shooting nothing.

[noah12301]

how hard is machinima to produce?

[lukekellycopy]

@noah12301 You need a capture card or hard drive.

[SuperConnortron]

hm... this isn't that great... pretty much some guys assassinate some guys then... blow some shit the fuck up... :o you can even hear a re spawning guy after the guy at the end shoots something with a pistol lol.

[EIdarAlex]

does machinima let anyone take a shit and call it a machinima?

[50zapdos]

@JamesmanFilms

hey dude make the enemy actually fight back.

good video, love it. How do u edit the video like the bomb blowing up thing. how'd u do that?

[blendme45]

good team work

[JRO3333]

its epic

[jocaomelhor]

ALL HALO 3 FANS LISTEN UP.

September 25th marks the 4 year anniversary of Halo 3. We will celebrate this day by keeping the Halo 3 community alive and playing it at 2pm Eastern Time. We will hopefully make the servers as populated as they were before, and prevent Bungie from taking down the Halo 3 online servers to make us play Halo Reach, while also bringing the original Halo experience back to life. Pass this on to other videos and thumbs up so people will know!

[allthepeeps90]

whats the song in the beggining?

[Shentuu]

@chejan11 rascist bitch burn in hell no wait u cant cuz im gonna make u wish u were

[noturs4561]

[MarkVIProductions]

@trystan846 They're not taking the servers down. Bungie don't even own Halo 3 anymore, so they can't take them down. Plus Halo 3 runs on the Reach servers.

[godofwar6511]

@trystan846 ok but one day wont do enough we must keep playing i like reach but i adore halo 3 as well if halo 3 ends its all over until 4 halo 2 was a piece of shit because one die to easy 2 bad graphics dont judge me on graphics and 3 no achievements

[Honchkrow212]

@trystan846 that will not work soon halo ce annerversity is comeing out so halo 3s server proably stop working

[TNH1n1]

It was good for your first machinima and I'm guessing the elite were controlled by different controllers you had like guests but overall it was good

[Hunter6109]

it was good but needs characters and voices and actually a plot didnt explain wat was goin on good though

[Keyblader355]

what map is that, cuz the base doesnt look like a forge map

[TheSinkingtruck]

@Keyblader355 Breakpoint

[EpicVader505]

how come the elites didn't do anything?

[TyTbone9]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!

[10jman]

i hate the self destruct button in every UNSC base!

[LegendzCraft]

no top comment? now's my chance!

BOOBS

[12Kaia]

@LegendzCraft That my friend, is what top comments should be all about, oh and btw lol.

[StormGamer12]

@LegendzCraft I SWEAR TO GOD IF I SEE ANOTHER GAY ASS TOP COMMENT LIKE THAT IM GONNA FUCKING BLOW MY DICK OFF!!

[StormGamer12]

@LegendzCraft Bitch dont be mad cause i slept with your 16 year old mom.

[LegendzCraft]

@StormGamer12 Thats funny, So according to you I'm older than my mother?

I love your come backs

[StormGamer12]

@LegendzCraft Dont play that smart shit you fagit. You ass holes use that to itimidate us, it aint working so quit now bitch this is the internet, catch up

[aventine95]

@StormGamer12 i believe you should quit while your ahead, hes not trying to intimidate you, its called being logical, now run along to your 16 year old mom and cry to her because no-one gives a shit about what you have to say

plus this vids awesome

[StormGamer12]

@aventine95 SHUT THE FUCK UP! First, WHO SAID I WANTED ANY ONE TO CARE WHAT I HAD TO SAY, DUMBASS. Second, ITS HIS 16 YEAR OLD MOM STUPID, MAYBE YOU NEED TO GRADUATE 3rd GRADE AND GET A DAMN JOB, YOUR NOT GETTING THUMBS UP JUST BECAUSE YOUR PROTECTING HIM AND SAYING plus this vid is awesome. GO FUCK YOURSELF KID

[aventine95]

@StormGamer12 i honestly couldnt give a shit about thumbs up, and im british so what the fuck is third grade, plus you throw shit at me or anyone else while im around you better be prepared to get it back p.s shouting doesnt make you look hard p.p.s not nice is it when someones shitting on you?

[StormGamer12]

@aventine95 Welcome to america, douch bag.

First i want to point out that youre a idiot for posting youre last comment about plus this vid is awesome, so fucking what? Did i make fun of this video? NO. I tried to make fun of the dumb shit who uses that dumb comment for thumbs up. second, I dont give a shit about me being hard, its about how smart you are to come up with a better comment, i used caps lock BECAUSE YOURE TO FUCKING BLIND TO NOTICE I ONE! p.s i got a fucking full arsenal, no backup

[zackattackx3]

i think this was good in all except voices bring out characters, characters bring out the emotion and story, and the story well is the machinima. and the enemy looked too weak not ruthless like the actual Covenant. just saying because i cant stand trying to get past the ultras in campaign. stupid elites =(

[BruskKillerdude]

lol 5:00 yuu can aar the respawn beeps

[tingedmrshooter]

@BruskKillerdude

learn to spell dumbass

[Jabbabob]

This has better quality graphics than a lot of machinimas, and like someone said pretty good camera work. Biggest thing is the voices, and maybe a little less typical plot. No offense. Great job, I gotta see what you turn out.

[JAKofA11TradeZ]

Dude this is good vid, just the no commentary kinda throws it off. Other then that it was pretty good great camera work.

[thecrazylegoguy11]

not bad. if u give it some more work it would be a good series

[BionicSstryderr]

God all machinimas are crap nowadays

[lukekellycopy]

@BionicSstryderr Make a better one then.

[MrHaeZelnut]

1/2

That was pretty good, i must say. To make this thing perfect and enjoyably watchable, the first thing I think you should do is work on your cameras. I know, it's pretty tough, but the one big thing is you have to get rid of the moving camera. It makes me feel like I'm playing the game. All the angles need to be short, clear and concise, and then on to the next one. It can't linger on while following characters. Secondly, I think you should work on the movements, specifically at 3:09

[MrHaeZelnut]

2/2 when the middle Spartan bumped into the one other guy, adjusted, then carried on more. And Also when Falcon is moving in (and this is tricky) you need to be much slower, and keep it from looking sketchy. My main advice overall is to slow everything down, and then when there is a fast paced part let it be, but you need to have that sort of dynamic. Very impressive for just getting into it, and I applaud you.

[EpicVader505]

this machinima was really good!!!I liked it!

[ShankzCHAO]

yeah i thought it was good to :)

[cartoonfreack328]

try lookin a little more halo profesional when flying the falcon remember smooth and wide turns other then that nice work

[AlienPestControl]

i am releasing a small machinima of my own the first episode is out which just explains the story line of the rest of the machinima. it is an action/ serious machinima titled A Hired Gun. If you may be intrested please do watch at my channel

[deathnote630]

pretty cool one thing that you should have put in was some dialouge i understand that you were just expierementing but you could have put in some lines to this film

(just my oppinnion)

[F33RL335]

you could have the enemies actually shoot???

[SquiresFreerunning]

i agree with johnsworthlll, for your explosions just use fusion coils or power batteries to make it look more real

Lack of dialogue. Explosions are unreal. And too much assasinating. Hopefully you can improve on that next time. I ra
