Call of Duty: Black Ops next storm of Machinima?

[Korten12]

The great thing about Halo 3/ODST/Reach was the theater mode (you could make machinima with 1 and 2 but I believe it was much harder) it brought in floods of new machinima's some really bad, some amazing (RvB for example.) Then there is also machinima from Garry's Mod for TF2, HL2, and L4D2, etc... These were mainly becuase they have easy system to make machinima (atleast Halo does, I believe Machinima on Garry's Mod can get a bit on the deep learning curve side.)

Now there was also Machinima for Modern Warfare 2, which I believe was made by using the free cam mode in spectator mode. Though now in Black Ops it has its own theater mode. Now Black Ops no doubt will be popular and with the added customization to new heights of any COD, do you guys think another storm of machinima could appear?

Uncharted 2 had a theater mode, a really really advanced once but it was mainly used for gameplay vids and not Machinima sadily.

So what do you guys think?

I think that it would be nice to watch a machinima that isnt Halo or Vale based. Of course we are gonna have to suffer through some bad ones but to quote an ancient sand tiger we must look for the diamond in the rough. (cookie for reference)

RvB is not that great.

It's kind of overrated.

That wasn't really the question being asked, but it was technicaly what got Machinima reconigzed, there was machinima before but not as popular. RvB popularized it. So it had to be atleast good.

Honestly I don't have high hopes for CoD machinima getting as good as the best of Halo's or the best of stuff with Garry's mod.

The reason for that is that there just isn't enough variety in the game to use for stuff like that compared to Halo and GM. Halo already has a huge leg up with Forge along with a smorgesboard of crazy weapons and gadgets while CoD is stuck with the more realistic stuff. And Garry's mod goes even farther than that.

It could still work of course, but honestly anything that CoD could do could be done better in a Halo or GM machinima save for jokes that directly stem from CoD like a, "10 ways to tell if you're a noob in BO" type of machinima.

i hope it will because even though it is limited i can think of a bunch of funny and cool videos that can be made with this that couldnt have been done in mw2 it might or might not but i think it will a lot of people are starting to get tired of the same mw2 videos and halo is starting to get stale to me

Fair enough.

I really dunno about the main topic, so I thought I'd try to contribute in my own asinine way.

its not about the game, its about the writers. and i honestly dont know any writiers as good as the roosterteeth guys and they probably arent going to do black ops machinima (RvB: Red North Vietnam vs. Black Ops just doesnt sound as catchy)

Well here is two examples of Non-roosterteeth good machinima.

The Modern Warfare 2 one doesn't have much talking but is still good.


Halo 3/MW2/ many other engines...
