Leaked!

[QsK Global]

i felt like i was watching the dollar store version of walshy and peridious. :/

[iReV]

i just saw it -- it was pretty decent, although i feel that it lacks in true originality. it was an enjoyable watch, but with some really obvious nods to editors for the big name montages lately.

namely he likes to pump up the in game audio at certain points in order to emphasize the 'killtacular/killfrenzy' without removing the audio from the the rest of the game. instead of a cool voice manipulated 'kill frenzy' you get the same thing but with garbled in game noise. nothing too big, but slightly annoying.

he slows down parts of it, and instead of a dramatic effect, i thought my video player was suffering from frame rate drop. that wasn't cool. zooming up ultra hardcore on a shot to the point where all i see are red pixels? not cool either.

almost every cool effect in this montage has been seen before; everything from the 'streaking of the screen' when he bxr's someone (this was in walshy's) to the death sihouettes when outbring someone. the HUD zoom up on the BR was an obvious take from Braddddd's montage. Used differently, and with some interesting filters (the bluish/shake the screen effect was cool). I don't want to say that he ripped off of Walshy's montage but I think that Halzred had way too many things similar for it to be really outstanding. Hell even the music selection is somewhat similar to Walshy's using a catchy hard banging rock track for the first half, and a more indie/hip sounding rock beat to finish out. He ended the first half of the montage well...which leads me to my last point.

THE END SUCKED. what the hell? it just ended with a kill frenzy, and centre court is sitting there waiting to be killed. i didn't expect the montage to end right there, it was really abrupt.

i only pointed out the flaws, because it would be dumb for me to go on and on about how great it was. overall if imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, than peridious should be feeling pretty damn good about himself. good in the fact that execution and editing is generally good and the work of an obviously talented player (pun definitely intended), and editor, but not deserving of a win or the hype that it's gotten for lack of originality.


note: i did edit this after watching it a second time and finding stuff i hadn't seen before.

generally a very good montage, with some obvious effects taken from walshy and titan's montages. overall really good though, i enjoyed the introduction immensely, and it has some nice killtaculars on full teams (SV namely). he had a few flashes that were pretty original, namely the UI that showed someone getting sniped, bringing up the BR HUD, infrared silhouettes, etc.... some people enjoy less editing so you can enjoy the gameplay more, and while i feel this is true, i like effects, because part of a montage is to show off what the editor can do. i had no real trouble how and who he killed and in what manner he killed the person. i think after walsh's montage, montages are starting to look more and more like CS 'tages/segmented videomercials. i think its a good direction because stuff liek this would be impressive to look at/cool to look at from someone who's never heard of MLG, but plays halo.

took the words right out of my mouth, if i wouldve tooen my time to tpe, thats what i wouldve typed, but i think that they over hyped it to much, i thought it was gonna be like trocities all over the place but it only had 2 frenzies, so whens Gun Sh0ts second coming out?

I wanted to, but I wanted to see if it got any better... that montage was boring as hell, haha, Middy killtac followed by Middy killtac followed by Middy killtac is 'yaaawwwwnnn'... and did my eyes go crazy? Or did he have to two shot an elite with the sniper on Beaver Creek while he was rocket spawn...and the elite was on red base NOT SHOOTING AT HIM... lol... that was impressive, followed by 2 rocket kills and then a quick scope for the frenzy, team game or not... 3 shots for a double kill (on a ****ing elite no less... their heads are HUGE)... 2 rocket kills, and then 1 good snipe does not equal a nice frenzy...

And like Rev said, the ending completely baffled me...

Editing by Halzred was good, I wish he would have toned it down a notch, the 2nd song started to give me a headache with all the effects he threw at it... but I was expecting a looot more... oh yeah, and the only double shots in this video were from a double kill against two people who weren't even looking at him/shooting at him... zOMG RAP3z0rz0rz0rz0rz!!! LAAAAAAAAAME....

I was expecting sooooooo much more from this montage, yet... it's going to place top 3... because TalenT's a pro... gheeey

good. but not as good as its hype IMO

I downloaded, watched it and here are pros and cons of this montage from my opinion. Ill start with cons because there the first to come into my mind.
Cons the whole shaking the screen started to give me a headache sure do it once or twice but not the whole montage. There was alittle bit of over editing to choppy for my tastes didnt flow to well. I didnt like the music either I agree with QSK Global saying it was like a dollar general version of Walshy's montage. Didnt like how it zoomed in where you could barely see the kill. Ok on to pro's I did like the part when they had like the picture frame that went with the song. There was some nice kills in there somewhere but I would give it a 6/10 not to good but above average because the intro was cool but got boring after awhile and has some nice editing.

[QUINN]

4.5/10 for effort.

Over edited, bad gameplay what else can I say?
