  4. Not really. It's basically the same as Halo 3.

    Don't just vote in the poll. Post your thoughts on the paragraph below as well! That's the point of this thread!!!


    Obviously, there are less tools to create effects for screenshot-taking in ODST. However, that does not mean good/cool screenshots are impossible to make. Do you think this increased difficulty benefits screenshot-taking? Do you think that it weeds out some of the less impressive shots out there because it requires more creativity? Or are ODST screenshots simply destined to be less impressive than Halo 3 ones?

    Here's some of my own examples:

    "Effect" Halo 3 shot: Dusk Execution

    "Non-effect" Halo 3 shot: DBNO

    "Non-effect" ODST shot: Evil Emperor

    "Effect" ODST shot: Torch

    Imo i think that it gives screenshoters a new canvas of endless options. Maybe challenging but there are still great screenshots you can get out of the game.

    i think certain aspects like many effects will be harder since we don't have the option to use equipment. I do think some good screenshots come out of it.

    Although we may have lost equipment to use for our screenshots and there's no custom games to stage them in I still think that people will be able to create great screenshots from ODST. The door of Halo 3: ODST has opened and I'm sure there is a world of opportunities for great screenshots in there.

    It's harder because to get certain screenshot effects in Halo 3 you need equipment, which brutes occasionally throw, but you can't have the screen filters in the legendary and mythic map packs.

    This isn't even a debate. It's obviously harder without custom games to set things up with traits weapons and bleh, as well as a lack of filters.

    If you make a good screenshot in odst/campain, usually everyone thinks its awesome, because achieving good campain/odst shots is obviously a more difficult task then blowing the **** out of someone and getting a lucky timed shot.

    There are a few things on ODST that makes things harder:

    `No equipment
    `No dual wielding (gives a few good poses)
    `No forging
    `No rewinding films
    `No gametype altering (cant take pictures of people getting shot by weapons and living)

    These are the main things needed to taking pictures...
