I'm upset by that fact. I was planning on filming a Halo 4 machinima basedon Spartan ops, but since campaign or spartan ops can't be viewed in theater mode...I couldn't film it, and I spent nearly 5months just to plan it..
What's your thoughts on this synthesis?

I feel like this ruins some potential for machinima. I always enjoyed the challenge of filming AI characters. Its unfortunate that they discluded that in this title.

Yeah. hopefully 343i realizes this and places an update to allow it. If not then as you said before, they basically destroyed the chance to make a machinima using the scenery or A.I in the campaign or Spartan ops missions.
but what seems weird to me is the fact that it must be in the game. if you watch the Halo 4 vidocs and game trailers, there is scenes where you see campaign levels or spartan ops missions in Theater mode.

Or it could be because they made the game and have access the software for the means of recording the game footage for their advertisements. |

Developers normally place debugging tools into their games to test/fix it. In this case theater mode for the campaign. I highly doubt that they were able to get a fully functional theater mode for the Campaign before shipping, so they made it unusable post release.

I think its definitely a scheduling thing. Getting it out there on time meant no theater for those modes.

I actually remember reading an article where 343 said they couldn't put campaign or spartan ops theater in the game due to time constraints. I do recall them saying that they'd put it into the game in an update. Let's just hope they keep their word. |

Haha, reminds me of the Halo 2 days! As disappointing as it surely is, theses limitations can sometimes forge the way for creative solutions, like aspectandroid brought up. Halo 2 didn't have forge, so people had to continually move boxes and crates and god knows what else to make their sets work. In the same way, we can fight against the unfortunate limitations Halo 4 can put on us. |

Thank you, its just the biggest downfall on halo 4 is that in campaign the armor does not change, the only thing that it would be useful is maybe for scenary, memories of a spartan war or a point of view as a marine, same as halo 2 the color didnt change, that is why halo reach is mostly reccomended for machinimas.
