About the acctual script, I'm not so sure about the whole infinity wargames background thing, I'm not sure it's necesary. I don't know if you have play AC, but I get that feel to it. Like the whole abstergo story behind it. Yes it does make it a bit more complicated and deeper I guess, but why put a perfectly good original idea, and try to force it into the halo universe? I don't quite understand the merging, and honestly I don't think this story fits the halo universe, and it would do better without it. To finish off my comparison, AC is perfectly good without the abstergo story, so would this machinima be without the Halo universe.
I didn't think too much on this, I just wanted to say it so you would think about it. The story otherwise, is great, this is my only concern...
Try thinking of it more as terminals. Where I can see how it can relate to AC, it is different. In AC, there are 2 storylines, one of the older character, and one of the young modern assassin trying to save the world. How it is different is in AC, the events that occur in the Memories directly effects Desmond and him saving the world. The Oracle for us is essentially just a narrator to events that unfolded in Ancient human era.
Now, onto your point of trying to put this into the HALO storyline. Trust me when I say we have had much discussion on this particular topic. We spent roughly 4 hours one night debating on whether it would be, or would not be. Ultimately we concluded we would prefer it be in the Halo realm for a few reasons:
A: We would like this to be our legacy in the Halo universe.
B: This is a perfect era because of the lack of knowledge on this time period.
C: The Halo universe is driven by the community. Bungie and 343 have done a lot to set the stage for the Universe, but it is up to us to expand it and place in all the details.
The reality of our machinima is it takes place before the Ancient Human war with the Forerunners. All the Halo 4 terminals explained was that there was a war between the Humans, and Forerunners, but it really only tell of the the war, and the effects it had on us. Our story dives deeper and thrives on giving insight on the Ancient Humans history, challenges they faced, and onto the start of the Human/Forerunner war.
Maybe, someday in the distant future, we will eventually tie this in with the modern war. But we have no plans or intentions to do so at this time.
Zoid, I greatly appreciate all of your input. You have been a consistent 3rd party point of view that has benefited us and kept us motivated. Thank you. I hope this does clear up some of your concerns.
