Here will be a ton of information about the machinima series entitled "Beta Squad"



BETA SQUAD

Plot: The story of a top secret, black operatives unit tasked with recovering highly unknown elements and returning them safely to the UNSC for disection and technological advances.

Summary: You first meet Beta Squad on their first mission as a team on Sandtrap in a UNSC base on Harvest, one year before the first contact with the covenant. From there, they complete their first mission but are kidnapped by an unknown group of people. Hours later, the squad awakes on the beach of an abandoned base. Certain events happen which alter the fate of the squad. (Kept vauge to avoid plot breach). [Other events take place and the game switches over to Reach]. The squad goes through more missions and is crossed with another squad, Alpha Squad. This happens in the capital city of Utgard on planet Harvest. (About 3 or 4 days after the initial covenant invasion began). The combined squad is forced to defend a critical dig site recovered by ONI. As the planet is falling to the Covenant glassings, the combined squad is in a "backs against the wall" situation. A sudden warp happens due to a reaction from several things, (will be explained when completed) and the team is warped onto a mysterious new place where the ultimate sacrifices must be made to save everything that lives. Human and alien.


CHARACTER BIOS:

All basic roles most weaponry and designation chosen for you.

In addition to the main story, mid way through the series, we will branch off and explore each character through their own sub-story. These substories will give a glimpse into that squadmate's past and showcase the reason as to why they were placed as the best of the best in Beta Squad.
P.S. Not too many updates to come. Maybe add in pictures of each soldier. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me here or on XBL. If you want to contact the writer/director you can message him on XBL "MLG Fatcake"
If you want a main role, ask for it. However you will need to have a good, steady schedule as to avoid missing film nights to not switch actors as well.

I'm probably not fit to fill in for the main actors, simply because I'm not "totally" reliable to be online . . . that and my voice isn't exactly machinima material. But if you ever get stumped and need lines for Alpha I'm your guy (me and most of my friends act like we're big tough guys but really we're all cuddly and warm inside . . . no homo), so I could probably throw you in a few sentences if you needed help.

Again, only active on weekends, but I'll help in whatever way I can if you need me. I can be a rebel, pilot or Marine . . . but I hate elites so . . . yeah haha.

Thanks for your input. Definitely will consider it. We still need to get film times ready and I am waiting for info on the other series.

Definitely will. And I'll make sure it's not on battlenights considering most of the actors we will have are from here as well as myself.

I am available most of the time, just NOT Thursdays. I've never been anything more than an extra in a machinima so that's what I'll do. But if you need more main actors and nobody else has signed up I suppose I can do it.

Ok, well filming days seem to be most convenient on weekends so we will probably go with that. As for placement I can't determine any positions until the other thread goes up and we get close to filming.

Well, sure. But elites don't come in until after the series switches to reach. So you can be an elite in Reach and something else in Halo 3.

i'll be an elite in Reach, but why they no in 3?

Update: I'm talking with the writer/director of Beta Squad today! Hopefully we will get a schedule up by the end of this week with plans to film next week or the week after. Also, I just got out of school, and I'm happy to say I don't need to go back there again until the fall. :clap:^_^:-D:D:thumbs up:

Ok guys, quick update. The writer of Alpha Squad has been recovering from a heart attack and has been recovering for the past 5 days. In addition, he was out of touch with us and just recently got back. We are already working on details to finalise that series and we hope to have a schedule for Beta Squad up before the end of the week. Thank you guys for being patient and I hope my friend has a quick and full recovery.

The role of Alpha has been filled by our close friend Kenny. We do still need a bravo 4 though...
