Movies

Each of my Halo movies has its own page and you'll find links below. The movies are also on my YouTube channel Bad Cyborg Movies. Comments appreciated! Download versions are available too.

In part I intend the movies to serve as a tribute to the glories and possibilities of single-player Halo campaign gameplay, but I also hope the action might inspire you to set things up to enjoy playing for yourself. I've included written commentaries which are partly for fun and partly for talking about the tactics I'm using and suchlike. In all the gameplay I use a standard PAL Xbox and S-controller, with look sensitivity set to 5. For general information on my movie production see here.

After the full listing there are various mutually exclusive groups to help you find movies of a particular type. Movie durations are rounded to the nearest second.
