  • The year is 2552, and Humanity faces extinction. For the past 27 years, Humanity has been at war with an alien alliance known as the Covenant. The Covenant have burned every Human world they have come across, and billions have died at their hands. Only a handful of worlds remain, and it seems as if Humanity's days are numbered, but the Covenant are up to something. A UEMC mining team at a dig site on a remote planet have gone dark, now it's up to the ONI SPECTRE Division to found out why.

    I came in with low expectations and you blew me away. Absolutely fantastic first episode, looking forward to see how Sigma performs in a proper firefight with other Spartans.

    • @MarkVIProductions
      @MarkVIProductions  10 лет назад

      Thanks a lot :) It may be a while before you see him with his Spartan team mates, that flashback at the beginning will be a full episode somewhere down the line, but hopefully it'll be awesome. Thanks for watching!

      Had a feeling. So was that a simulation? I knew it wasn't really happening.

      Yep. It's called the "White Space". It's similar to the War Games on the Infinity (aka Halo 4's multiplayer). All I'm going to say is that it's definitely not as intense as Spartan Sigma was imagining it to be...

      Which one? The snowy one with the Forerunner artifact is Athos, while the planet at the end is the planet Whitefall, which will be where the next episode takes place.

    I absolutely loved it Jay! The 5 minute intro was done perfectly, and I love the variety of sounds from different Halo games in order to mix it up a little.

  • @GameForg3d
    @GameForg3d 10 лет назад

    Beautifully written. You put much time and effort into this machinima - it really showed! Aside from a few misspellings, everything was 100%! One of the best machinimas I've seen in a long time (aside from Rise of the Spartans). Great work! I would have to give it a 9.75 out of 10! ATHOS did a wonderful job of keeping me interested and I'm amped for episode 2! Also, you did a wonderful job on the intro; it was a great way to capture the attention of the viewers. People love seeing timelines on the screen, then a clip after that, and then it continues with the timeline! You did a wonderful job working within the limitations of Reach. Like I said before, I'm pumped for episode 2! Keep up the good work! :)
