I don't know when it happened but it seems that 343 added a lot of new idle animations since launch, it probably was in a recent update because i didn't notice them when i made the "Classic Weapons" video. Enjoy...

I love the personality the idle animations give to the Spartans - they make it feel as if your Spartan is actually human - plus, I love the tinkering they do...
1:42 "Wow man, that Spartan must be, like, perfecting the aiming for longer ranges!" "Of course, those guys are professionals." Spartan: _"Boop... boop... beep beep beep... beep boop beep. Shit, people are looking."_
Well, the Spartans now have many characteristics that separate them from the originals because of the fact that normal soldiers can enlist and join the program whereas Chief's generation where trained to be the ultimate soldiers.
jeremy ray Yes, exactly. And the universe isn't so big that anything can happen. Partially why I'm not interested in the forerunner or precursor stories though.
My ideas: Pokes needler's needle, explodes Plays pacman on hydra's screen, Gets finger caught in boltshit, Looks down the shot gun barrel, Tries to flip the plasma pistol and catch it, fails
Wow, most of these are WAY better than they used to be. There's actually some really good ones in there, I love the animations that show the functions of the weapon.
Halo 1 Pistol: "I don't care how strong you are, your dated as hell." Covenant weapons: "Huh, so that's how they work." Promethean weapons: "Yup, very high tech"
I love how you can take a good look at the internals of some of the weapons. Especially the Gravity Hammer. And don't get me started on the sounds of the gun clicking and rattling as the Spartan moves it around. Gave me goosebumps.
Of course the forerunner weapons look the best. It would have been hilarious for the needler if you see the soldier fiddle with the pink spikes, accidentally break one off, try to put it back in place, then give up and flick it off to the side haha
Why would they make the boltshot animations so cool but then have variations on the "turn side to side" animation for all the other forerunner guns? Just seems like a waste, you have these weird guns that come apart in crazy ways in-game, but the best they could come up with for the scattershot is to have the sights lag behind the barrel a little? It's a cool little detail but there could have been something cooler.
Pretty cool how the idle animations on certain weapons like the M57 rocket launcher and the gravity hammer show hidden details that you can't normally see, or that you would only get a brief glimpse of when going into smart scope.
Just something that add to such an awesome game. As an aspiring animator I love all the little details they input in the game. Like Idle animations aren't needed but they are so good.
I now have the idea of having silly animations. One example could be when a boltshot is equipped and when it's apart, the spartan waves his had as if it was magic.
I think I know what the Spartan is thinking for most of these animations, "You know what I haven't seen in a while? The other side of this gun..." *turns gun over to see*
This 5 minute video compilation took them around 2 1/2 hours of just standing around to gain all the footage. Wow! (You can see the timer in the bottom right of the screen.)
I absolutely love the idle animations in this game. The feel they provide, and even the attention to detail such as your spartan taking their finger off the trigger are great.
Always thought that there was something so terrible about the Halo AR viewmodel It only ever looked normal to me in CEA and Reach I feel like I’m 3 4 and 5 It’s held up way to high so the screen looks oversized and the gun looks way to stubby instead of a long assault rifle
I wish there where better animations for some of the guns. For example with the brute plasma rifle he could put his finger through the electric beam and get shocked and even take a tinny bit of actual health.Or for the scatter shot he pulls ones of those scope things away and it returns.
Nice little nod back to Halo CE. Not only was the gun and souf effects classic, but that second idle animation was the exact one from the original Halo.
I think it's nice that the game is like rewarding players who have the boltshot, often regarded as the worst weapon in the game, with an awesome animation
