Epic Holiday RACE Coming to War Games Trailer [Halo 4]

It is finished!! Thanks again to everyone who helped make this a reality, to Kenjamin for the "vision". I'll copy/paste the YouTube description below the vid in this thread, for more info.

[PS: The LOUDER the BETTER ;) ]

What do you get when you take three talented Halo fans and mash their talents into entertainment for the masses? Well, this time it's an "Epic Holiday RACE is Coming Trailer" Get news on when RACE is coming to Halo 4 War Games in this trailer by AddiCt3d 2CHa0s, featuring insanely smooth maps by Kenjamin1 MI and awesome, Crunchy Christmas music by Mace Windex (CHa0s Remix - - I needed 10 extra seconds!! so I used the tracks to add a little chaos to the end)

Stay tuned for the upcoming trailer of Kenjamin's featured maps, RED Wheel and GREEN Prix. (See download link below)

Special thanks to Mace Windex for whipping out "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", crunchy style, on short notice - - you rock! (no really, you're a badass ;D)

Thank you Kenjamin for going through tons of films, filming clips, and recording instances of action - - you don't know how much you helped! Clips in this film were done by both Kenjamin and myself, with Kenji pointing me to a ton of the instances I clipped.

Visit Kenjamin1 MI's Fileshare and download the maps in this video: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/players/kenjamin1%20mi/halo4/fileshar...

Check out some of Mace Windex's Halo 3-D screenshots:

If I ever ventured into Forza, I would introduce a whole new world of contact. ;)

Vid looked very cool on my I-Phone, but even cooler on the big screen with the surround sound.

Yep, with the High Def graphics and professional-grade custom metal Holiday music, bigger is better! :D

 

Alright, folks, the extended version has been finished. It's basically a walk-through - er drive-through - of Kenjamin's RED and GREEN Race maps, so viewers can see the entire tracks. You'll recognize clips from the teaser, with many that wound up on the cutting room floor to make that trailer have more punch. This one is more like a crunchy tour ;) with encore remixed Mace Windex soundtrack to fit.

Thanks again to everyone who came out to drive on the tracks and help make the vid! We couldn't have done it without you. Here's to you!

For anyone who doesn't know, that's Kenjamin doing the barrel roll, now immortalized in a gif, lol

 

Edit: PS, who's that going off the edge in the background there? lol

I believe that may have been me with the epic fail in the gif, I was just too mesmerized by Ken's skillz. It's cool though, kind of like being posterized by Michael Jordan. 

Another epic video by Chaos - such great work!

Too funny.

Thanks, Darth. And don't forget that Kenjamin pointed me to a lot of the action shots in those videos, and some of the clips are from his fly-thru's. Like I told him, without the inspiration of cool maps I wouldn't have the motivation to do vids like these, nor would the videos be cool on shabby maps, lol, so credit shared. And let's not forget Mace! Epic Holiday shred is epic ;D

It's so encouraging to see content being brought to the table for this game. Lack of films early on, no rendering and some missing gametypes like RACE really put a damper on community content and spirit. The source material is there though and we still have a lot of fun playing so I'm confident this game will keep us happily entertained until the next Halo. It takes a little more effort to showcase our escapades, is all. :)

The bulletin only mentions the RACE game type for now. That's good news and let's hope Rocket Race follows soon.

I am curious to see what they offer for Race Maps. I'll drive on them regardless. The bulletin doesn't say much new, they are building a Race track on Longbow based on the Community Vote results. It should be a good winter wonderland. - Mongoose Mayhem begins next week!!!

EDIT: Here is a little more vehicle sillyness... Old H3 and Reach clips of me and my kids.

RACE gametype - My opinion so far = 343 Half-assed it. Initial reaction is FAIL... They adapted a CTF gametype, made checkpoints too small and/or too close together, no kill zones if you get off track, doesn't automatically reset you on mongoose if you fall off, bitch bitch bitch. Only 3 maps, Ragnarok is OK, the Longbow and Vortex are glitchy and suffer from the too small/close together checkpoints. No community forged race maps WTF! Lots of trolls already finding chokepoints to park and wreck other racers. Give me a couple days, I'll get my 50 CSR in Race in spite of them not giving a S#IT.

 

EDIT - DLC maps Outcast & Daybreak are supposed to be included as well, clearly it will be less likely to see them.
