A Halo CE Roadtrip Redux

Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything remarkable here, but I just spent the last week or so remaking a pet project of mine that some of you probably remember from way back in the day, A Halo CE Roadtrip.

About 4 years ago, after attempting my own map and realizing how complicated the process was, I was impressed enough to make a sort of tribute to the mapmakers who have made the CE community so fun to be a part of over the years. At the time, I had a very poor computer setup, with an ancient nvidia graphics card and no ram whatsoever, so the original Roadtrip, though solid in concept, lacked the quality to accurately show off the CE maps.

Now, with a system light years ahead of the old one, I've done my best to remake the old video in larger resolution, full graphics, and nicer-looking maps where needed.

The original video, for reference. Note: Halomovies doesn't seem to want to work for me right now- the streaming doesn't load. D: Here is the youtube version, though the audio does not sync properly, unfortunately.

I present: A Halo CE Roadtrip Redux

Youtube, low res - muted
REVVER- 480p, BEST STREAMING VERSION
Filefront, 480p -dead atm
Filefront, 720p- fixed

The quality is about 80% HD, due to the odd filming system I had, but it's still decent.

Feel free to comment.


Edit 5/6/09: NOTICE: Youtube has muted all videos using any music copyrighted under the Warner Music Group, including Roadtrip. As a result, both the new and old versions are silent. I've reuploaded the 720p version to filefront, and the link above is now fixed. There is also a new link for the Revver video, which is unmuted and currently the best version to watch without downloading.

I'm about 2 minutes in and this is pretty neat.

Mind giving us a list of maps in order of appearance?

Heh. I'll make a list if I have time. I managed to procrastinate doing all my college homework to finish the editing. :P That's an interesting idea though- for some reason it didn't even occur to me.

There's everything. Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. You will notice some repeats, but that was to keep me from going insane when filming.

Pretty good. The editing followed the music pretty well.

Will post when watch.

This would probably attract people who don't even play Halo CE!

Auesome!

Best halo ce video I have seen.


Srs.

That was awesome camera work. I would have tried something like this...but uh, I don't have Halo installed on my brothers good computer. It's fine on this one, I don't care. Did you download all the maps and go through or did you go through a few, delete, download, and go through again so you didn't have to wait 5 hours for Halo to start up?
