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.


Wait wait wait, I understand your point, but I think you're overexaggerating there, "spraying in ALL my pistol scenes"?! I got some good 3-4sk's there, just as much, if not more, as "these sprayings". Heck, I could even point out good strafe shots, and 3-4sks in the montage. For example, look in the 3:10 mark. There's a good strafe snipe there. Well at least I think it was. =/

Why is everyone calling me a noob, for putting what I want in my OWN montage?

Anyways, thanks for the post I guess, Frnksnbns.

at 3:10 it appears then you see him die then you go to next clip

looked like he was going in a straight line so not really a strafe snipe.
Yeah. "Good" 3SKs? I'm sorry, but those 3SKs were of people running straight at you...

Seriously, and those are way too simple.

I get 3SK's all the time. Single 3SK's are boring.

Don't put single 3SK's in a video unless they are for a multi-kill.

Not really. But I get 3SKs all the time, too, so I can see how that gets unimpressive.

Sorry for being harsh. I wasn't trying to be mean or rude. It is YOUR montage and you should make it how you want. I recently made my first montage, so I understand that it takes a lot of work. Take what you have learned from watching your montage, and from comments here and make your next montage twice as good!

The trick is to get them while recording with awful laggy framerate...

Don't you have like a power-tower that can run Halo maxed out at 1600 X 1200 with a constant 75 FPS?

Yeah...but even with half sized recording from 1280x1024, FRAPS reduces my framerate quite a bit. Also, if you saw how my high end PC was setup, you would laugh, as the motherboard isn't even in a case (dont tell the FCC).

Oh it's ok. Well, I'll try to do better next time. xD

Fraps leaves me with 100+ fps if I wanted it.

Btw lpjuunin, I wouldn't believe these guys when they say they get single 3sks all the time, no offense to you all.

Anyways yes, just take your time, no need for sooo many vids...

Fraps leaves me with 10-20, Gamecam leaves me with 30-40...xD

Well, ok, maybe it's time for me to calm down a little, and save up my clips. It's just that I enjoy making montages, and taking time to edit in WMM, it's like a new hobby for me...xD

None taken. We didn't really expect him to take us seriously, either.

Still, I can consistently kill people with the pistol with three or four bullets if they move in a straight line. Since I go into public servers all the time, I do indeed get 3SKs at least once a game.

No, to that I will admit. I suck at Halo. But I doubt you could either.

Set the Gamecam resolution either the same or exactly half of the playing resolution. Also Actual Graphical enhancements being turned off will do little to help Recording performance.
Why do you think Fraps Has fullsize and half size. It's much easier to take out every other pixel then 1 pixel skip two. And fraps is trying to cut corners to increase frame throughput.

you'd get better performance probably from recording at 640x480 and playing at 1280x960. Then recording at 512x384 and playing at 1280x960. Much more processing needed to resize something that isn't wholly divisible.

I've been searching for a way to make Halo PC demo's, and work with a framedump capability. But Hopefully Halo 2 Vista will have that.
