From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Can you upload the rest of the weapons in these images: http://www.halopedia.org/File:H4-Concept-ARC920Railgun-Slug.jpg ?
Not at all. I'll check your list and see if I can get some of those images.
I suppose, but honestly while I understood it I think it mostly looked like gibberish.
Sorry. I just figured that that was your work. I wonder who did make that edit. I'm all for a massive abundance of syllables but that just made no sense.
Changed the Scattershot page after you edited it. Seriously dude? "Schizmatic"?
Thx. I thought posting it counted as support.
Hey, uh... did you fix the featured article page after that clusterfuck with the comments section? I'm not even sure if I really messed it up or anything, but I have a feeling I did. I kinda think I mistook the comment section of another nomination for a comment section for the whole page, and managed to miss the fact every single nomination had a comments section, even though I scrolled through it checking for them..... yeah. Kinda a fail there. If you didn't fix it, then ignore this. None of this happened this whole thing is a jokehahahahahahhahahahahhahah!
Didn't really "thought it up"; I took it from a book I read once. On another note, I've finally found the FUD soundtrack. While a separate download of the 26-track OST is unavailable, the Blu-ray edition has an "isolated score" music player. The tracks have been ripped and posted on YouTube; feel free to listen and download here.
One last thing: I uploaded the post-war UNSC and ONI logos for you a few months ago, but there's still no transparent cutout yet. Are you having trouble with those two?
Yeah, to match my LIVE gamertag.
Thanks! Actually I did use an external camera (unfortunately) w/ a tri-pod. You can tell by the extreme light differentiation & the faint line streaks going across the image from recording a 42" flat screen. I don't have an HD capture card and my vcr/dvd recorder is in another room. Although I used a high quality Canon HD cam that I purchased last year. Also I can thank the Midnight Vacation glitch for allowing me to get MUCH closer to those ships (literally was flying through them) so I can create much higher resolution shots rather than having to trim so much away like with the previous ones. As for the beam turret, that was hard because they aim at you so I had to use the decoy AA so I could take shots. I didn't film them so the image is of less quality but I might replace it. I also plan on doing the particle canons since we only have concept pics. Still, theater mode for campaign would really help us out ALOT! Then I wouldn't have to worry about the Broadsword w/ HUD obscuring the shots. One last thing, the fact that someone created those articles motivated me to create better pics. They were using my blurry images that were really meant for just discussion so I felt the need to upgrade them.
Blocked by Grizzlei. Thanks for watching out.
I looked at your edits to those pages of yours that had lots of pistures on them..... 1. Are those pages collections of pictures for use in articles? 2. Whatever the case, the ancient humans should probably be in a section of their own, as opposed to on that page, as they are in no way affiliated with the UNSC. 3. I have a feeling this is annoying. Sorry, I'm just desperate to do things on this site.
The max resolution the wiki supports is 3500x3500, so the image needs to be manually resized a bit and reuploaded. For the purpose of the wiki where images are much smaller on pages and it takes more processing power to create thumbnails of huge images, super large images are not necessary.
Well, about that image, I found it in this page: http://www.fathead.com/entertainment/halo/master-chief-halo-4/?src=browse I just make screenshots of each part of the poster and paste them. It took me almost two weeks to do, but here's the result...
The concept art's from a dozen different artists; a simple search for "halo" on CGHub would return an exhaustive list. By the way, I found a higher-res version of the Cortana render here; could you create a new transparent version?
Fair enough. Apologies for bothering you over such a small matter; my OCD tendencies are showing. Hope you weren't too annoyed.
As I said, it was never about the monitor resolution; it was about the source's quality. A 1280x720 screencap is exactly the same as a 1920x1080 screencap when they come from the same video file. It's a common misconception that a higher resolution automatically means higher quality - I made the same mistake with my first Anniversary screencaps.
For example, the old version of this image is higher-res, but the latter is of higher quality (the flag is much clearer) because I used a different source. I'm suprised that you couldn't notice the differences - the asteroids in front of the Halo (for the terminal image) and the Autumn's engine (the HCEA one) have less well-defined edges, and the background's color tone is washed out. The "fins" of the Autumn's main engines have four distinctive ridges each in the old revision; they are almost blended into the fin in the current one. Note that the new HCEA images are 300KB smaller than my version, despite being nominally higher-res.
P.S. The Sequence Group is the studio responsible for creating the HCEA and Halo 4 terminals; there's an article on them right here. The Reach file share is still there, yes; is there something wrong with it?
I understand your reluctance; it's just that I can't stand the slightly increased blurring (OCD tendencies much? Ha ha :) Still, I would consider it a personal favour if you could revert the four images. Should you decline, then at least change the two Terminal images back - those are not taken from the Cutscene Library, but an even higher-def video reel straight from the Sequence Group.
It's not about perfection, it's just that I don't want you to make the same mistake next time you upload replacement versions. Honestly, this isn't some sort of competition over who can upload the best pictures; reverting the images won't cost either of us anything, so it should be a non-issue. The difference may be small, but this is a collaborative wiki - we should always strive for the best possible quality. Should you want to remove an lower-res file that I uploaded, I would do so if your reasoning is sound. You're a fellow perfectionist, uploading new versions of your transparent cutouts over the smallest errors; I think you would understand.
As a note, YouTube files are heavily compressed, causing loss of quality. The Scanned trailer is 38MB when downloaded from YouTube at 720p; it's 105MB on the Press Center. In practical terms, the difference lies in increased blurring and screen artifacts.
I sent two messages for you yesterday, one concerning several new uploads and one about the ONI emblem; it appears you've missed the former. To reiterate, you've uploaded these new image versions (1, 2, 3, 4), citing that they're "larger, high-definition images." If you compare your version and mine, you can see that my versions are all less blurry and have more well-defined edges. This is because I try to only use source images or screencaps from high-quality sources (such as the HBO Cutscene Gallery and the Xbox Press Center). Please note that your higher-resolution monitor (1440x900, compared to my 1366x800) does not equal higher capture quality; only the source video matters. This file is a good example; it's super high-res, sure, but the quality remains very low.
