    Prepare To Drop was made by myself using a guest. The original idea came from NovaStar117's picture meteor.

    Well I have a canvas on orbital that I saved two platforms outside of the map(near the rocket spawn). One higher than the other. The higher platform you put brute shots on with Juicy and gloomy filters on. Have a person stand on each platform and have the person on the top platform shoot. I can give the canvas to you if you want it.

    I love the concept of this.
    Obviously, the planet Earth is a beautiful backdrop and with the inclusion of the meteor (likely to be an ODST Pod in this case?), it makes the screenshot an even greater feat. Having half the background Earth and the other Space, I don't know, it just adds an eerie and darker feel to it. Space also emphasises both the ODST and its incoming pod.

    As for the ODST itself, it keeps to the true colours of the ODST's an forms an authorotive 'being' in the picture - the center of attention. The weapon choice, the pistol, is good as it maintains the lethalness of the soldier but shows the body of him too - that for star screenshot purposes.

    Yeah, really cool picture, simple but sexy.

    Well done, I like it. The only thing that could have made it better would be to have lowered the SMG and maybe have taken the picture from a little further back.

    Other than that, nice job.

    Okay screenshot.
    It was kind of obvious, at least to me, that you used a brute shot to make the "Drop Pod"

    Well it may be obvious to you, but I had questions as to what that was before. And there is nothing else I can think of to use except a rocket(which I have also tried). As I look at it now I do regret putting anything in the background but it works.

    I am also thinking about retaking the picture and trying to see if I can get the bruteshot farther back in the picture. Or getting a different angle on it so it looks as if it is farther away from him.

    I love all the visuals except that the Brute Shot "Comet" looks a little bit 2 close. 8/10.

    Well thanks that was really my goal when making the picture and I am happy to see that you enjoy the picture. But I would like to know what I could do to get a ten out of ten instead of an eight.

    The comet is made with a brute shot, thats a nice pic, even though ODST guy and just earth as a backdrop would still have been an amazing picture.

    Wow this is awesome. I really like that shot coming from the corner, but i think it should be a little further away

    Well it is hard to get the brute shot in the picture because it explodes almost instantly after being fired. And the barrier on the map makes it harder to place myself any farther, or closer. I can try to shoot it from the other side by it may require some time and patience to get it right. Also phredryxun92, I would be happy to give you the map at which this was taken on as soon as I can. But, please send me a message next time instead of posting on this.
