Kinda. I think it was more a case of the UI and controls just not getting implemented. Like it works, but not well.

While it's not a replacement for theater mode in terms of standard gameplay, the Machinima Controls thing they added to customs is insane. Like, just imagine that shit in the Halo 3 days.
Also, I will speak to the fact that games continually updating now makes films harder to implement because they would constantly be versioned out. So that's another aspect.
It kinda felt like the MCC not permanently saving films was due to this, since it clearly caches the films for you to watch, so that it'd be easier to patch it.
If I remember correctly it was dropped because the two QTEs broke it, so instead of removing the two QTEs they dropped campaign theater.

;-_- So dumb, was QTEs worth it really? I don't think it was worth dropping a whole mode for them.
and Whats Halo 5's excuse?
They re-wrote the engine to support campaign AI on dedis instead of lockstep. Any code built up to that point would have been useless.
I've noticed that Warzone/Firefight AI desync if you fast forward, so I wonder if Campaign just isn't rigged to stay synced.

Doesn't campaign work offline too? it should've been still able to work regardless if campaign was on dedis or not.
Offline campaign wouldn't be a determining factor in films working or not

Classic playlist when?
To repeat myself from several other times. Just awesome. You guys did a crazy good job.
Makes you really wish that BTB is Pistol starts and that 343i adds Brute Chopper and Hornets to the game.
And actually working gravity lifts.

Can't wait for Nok and Nilla's Avalanche remake in Halo 6.
Hopefully 343 wises up and makes a dev crafted Avalanche remake. Sidewinder/Avalance>>>>>>Blood Gulch/Valhalla.

Thanks everyone, we had a blast and Im so happy that everyone is loving it.
well since Halo 5 forge is going to be compatible with Halo 6, we will just import it into the new editor, change some textures around, add the amazing new dynamic scripted weathering, time of day effects and call it a day
oh shit, i forgot about all the ndas!
disregard

I've actually been contemplating this, it'd be cool if they could make a system like this.
I believe it was one of the original goals when they first designed the new forge. If it doesn't happen it would likely be due a technical limitation.

That Avalance remake. Holy crap. It's freaking incredible looking and from the gameplay I have seen it plays incredibly similar, if not better.
If you all play any scheduled games on it and I will definitely try to hop on.

Preliminary ultra secret beta tests on containment are going very well.
If anybody is playing customs frequently and wants a copy let me know, release probably this weekend or 2 weeks from now, I'm away from console all of next week
Problem: The screenshots are soooooooooo much darker than the actual in game map.
I guess I just have to take all the shots I want, edit them on my computer, then post online, but the in game shots are unreadable, ugh.
In 7~ hours we might know more

SMH. I'm basically waiting on 343 to implement that before I actually play multiplayer and Forge more.
Thank you.

Hey nilla, what's the progress on Containment? Also is the new gamerpic confusing since everyone looks like you now?
After more than a handful of playtests I finally got around to submitting Memento Mori. Now I just need that fabled heavies playlist.

And of course I already have the next Zelda thing in mind.

Containment was in 'Thanksgiving Beta' because Ive been away-from-xbox for 7 days, so I listed it, but only told a few people to get some feedback.
It is 100% finished, the only thing I would change would be vehicle/power weapon tiers.
Same with Highlands
Also, about the gamerpic
This has always been my hands down favorite Halo concept art image of all time, so when I saw it come to gamerpics I was estatic
but yeah.. it does take away a bit of the special feeling knowing its me
