Some of those kills shouldn't have been hard to get, like at 1:25 when you were killing LeadHead, took longer than you should have taken to kill him. :/ Looked like you were really struggling.

I wonder if the Wolf thinks the Moon listens when he howls at it.

Dont forget that once he pushes record he gets spammed with lag and his fps drops like a brick.

Sweet-liked the music.

ok im sure you will be pissed off at me but you need to turn down your graphics

turn texture quality down to med, particals off, decals off, shadows off, specular off at a 800X600 res and no vsync. you will do much better, like 70 FPS while recording

Lots of good 3SKs? I must have seen like two, and they were running straight at you. I wouldn't consider that a lot of good 3SKs, sorry. By the way, you missed an enormous amount of shots with your sniper rifle, almost all of them were bad. Your targets were running in straight lines or standing still, too.

Keep working on it, and you'll make something good one day. But don't just take any old clip you take of shooting someone twelve times with the pistol and put it in your video.

Sorry guys, just felt that I should show an all shields montage, in case everyone thinks I suck because they assume all I play is no shields...=/

To be honest, the only reason I played no shields in my previous 5 montages is because it's like the onlny gametype that doesn't drop my FPS. But now, I set my GameCam to 400x300 record res, and my FPS improved a little while recording. So I felt like I could still play normal gametypes and make a montage with it...

Don't make another montage for 6 months. Save up your clips.

Your montages should show an obvious improvement between your montages.

Ok I watched it and here's the problem, you seemed to just take any old kill and throw it in.

like 8sks on people running at you is not montage material.

Try shooting a lot slower with the pistol and like Walmart said turn down your graphics settings, then you will become more accurate and after a while go back to shooting fast

3SK's and sniper head shots are BORING. A few days ago I was playing. Me and another player emptied our pistols at each other several times, (close range), till I finally killed him, with one bar of health left. I wish I had that recorded. Much better than pop-pop-pop-dead.

True. Intensity is more exciting and fun than triple popping some random pub noob.

I don't understand why people in the Maw hates full mag kills, close quarters combat, and AR-struggles in montages. If you are doing an intensive battle with someone of equal luck and skill, it's more exciting. Anyone can 3sk and headshot. You say it takes more skill? Yeah, sure.

So I really don't get people when they unwittingly say, "dude your montage sucked, because it had full mag kills in close range. show us some 3sks and headshots." Who gives a -blam!-ty -blam!- whether or not you can 3sk someone from afar, if you say someone's montage sucks because it's full of full mag, close combat kills, rather than the preferred 3sks and headshots, you're just as worthless.

Yeah so -blam!-ing what if most of my 3sks and sniper shots were from people coming straight at me. I say it's just as intensive if not more, because your enemy actually SAW you, and is charging at you guns'ablazing. It's better than strafe sniping/3sking someone when they have no idea you're there and just moving towards a base or something.

Like fastmatt said a long time ago, who gives a -blam!- if you're good or not. As long as you have fun playing, and making montages. Ring a bell?

im afraid im gonna have to confiscate your testicles.

What are you, the Cyber police? lol.

Haha, that was a good sniper head shot when that guy was falling from the warthog in the air.

BTW, why would anyone say you suck playing no shields? It takes skill to outwit another person with no shields also. You wouldnt have a shield either.

No shields is a more of a challenge, why would anyone think that is noobish, just because shields is how the game follows?

Wow. That's one of the biggest load of bullcrap I've ever heard. No skill? Face me. If you can pull off a consistent three-shot kill, and I suppose according to what you say, you could, which nobody to this date has, then you should own me with no problem, right?

Okay, to be fair, three-shot killing someone moving in a straight, predictable pattern isn't that hard. It's not meritable. Three-shot killing someone who is trying to do the same to you while strafing requires much more skill. Wow. Seriously.

Haha yeah, I loved that part.

And I don't know, but everyone was pretty much telling me to play gametypes they want to see. That got really annoying and irritating...-.-

Unless he/she has an aimbot, or is pretty much God himself, I don't think anyone can pull of ALL 3sks.

When I said 3sks "takes no skill", I meant that it comes and goes, you can do it anytime you wish, if today is your good day so much the better.

When you fight someone in an intensive close quarter combat, with each of you with one nade to spare, and only one pistol mag left, that's when it really takes skill. No I don't mean the bullet spraying part (You shouldn't do that btw). Whoever has the coolest set-mind, decent aim even at close quarters, etc. etc. (you knwo the rest), wins.

And also, Kim, now you're totally acting like the old Nessy. "wana 1v1 me, so if you think shooting 3 times takes no skill, you would pwn me rite???"...that actually made me laugh. Either you're trying to do a mythbusters style experiment, or you're just trying to prove that the "everyday, boring far ranged, retarded strafe shots" takes skill, let alone even satisfying. Sure it can take skill in a certain degree (depending on the enemy's position of course), but if all you're going to do, is the same old, pop pop pop dead, pop pop pop dead, pop pop pop dead, then game over, I don't see the point in playing the game. A game is there for people to enjoy and have fun, not have finger&mouse click exercises. A game should have varieties.

No-shields is tricky– sometimes it's no skill, other times it's all skill. It depends on how the game options are set up, (vehicles or no vehicles, nades, no nades or infinite nades), and on how the people are playing. For example, if there are no vehicles and you are not getting team support, you'll never cap the flag– then no-shields is just an excuse to rack up easy kills.

But if you play a ctf match with no shields and you get support, especially with no vehicles, it takes skill– and team work.

I always judge my no-shields performance by (A) how many flags I cap and, (B) how FEW times I die. Saying alive is the skill in no-shields games. This translate well to shielded games– if you can live no-shields, you'll be very hard to kill with shields.

With no shields all it takes is 1 bullet, it is more or less who sees who first, there is no outwitting in it lol, since you still play the map the same way you would with shields.

If someone is not looking at you, it takes less skill to kill them, but it still takes more skill to kill then with a 3sk not looking at you as oppose to a 12sk when they are.

Who said anything about players not looking at you or strafing? You should be able to get some 3sks when people are strafing.

Most people make montages with an intent to show their own skill. Now, it is not suprising that people don't like your montages when you bring 1 out every 2 days or so. I have been playing halo for 25 months, and I have made 4, you have brought out 6 in the past 2 months. Take your time, use only better clips, and make a good montage that takes TIME. Why would people want to watch a clip of a 12sk? It's just not impressive.

And just because he wants to 1v1 you doesn't mean anything, maybe he is trying to teach you that it is more than possible to get consistent good kills. You obviously don't know the game mechanics too well. A zoomed in pistol is LESS accurate by a mile, so when players are running directly towards you in a straight line don't zoom in.

Why would people find it a good watch if you make a 8sk out of it?

This is what you're saying:

"I find that in basketball it is too easy to put the ball in the hoop. Anybody can do it, what's the whole point? It's rather boring. I'd rather have to miss my shots at the hoop so it's harder to win the game."

Indeed. How are headshots and 3SKs boring compared to what you described, lpjuunin? I simply don't get it. It's "intense", wow. Like when people try to 3SK each other isn't intense. It's boring and dull.

Oh no, it's fun, alright. Just nowhere near as challenging as shields gametypes, however.

Save up your good clips, and work more on your editing.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

I watched your montage. Generally speaking, there is way too much spraying especially with your pistol clips. Get some no scope sniper kills, and 1sk sniper clips. Most of the sniper kills were spray as well, or noobs just standing there waiting to get pwnt. A large portion of the clips were nubs running straight at you, which is never a good thing. If you have someone running straight at you who obviously sucks, there is no excuse NOT to get 3-5sk everytime. And finally, the most important hit you can get on someone is your first shot. Not sure if I saw a single pistol clip in which you didn't spray the ground near the guy first.

Montage making is like good writing, less is more, be more concise, etc. Try to get your point across with as few words (bullets) as possible.
