PLay with me and make a montage with me? :P

Honestly, you're not bad at sniping, but theres a lot of stuff that shouldn't be in there,
I only saw one triple kill, which was with smg,br,sword i think, and like 2 noscopes,

and there were a lot of shots in there where you missed, which doesn't look good in a montage.

Wrong place to ask.

Try GV, H3F, or QsK for better and more adult like responses.

1) dont host it on youtube. try mythica.org
2) get a good editor, it makes all the difference
3) spread out clips, dont put all the clips from one game in order, and dont put in bad clips
4) DONT EDIT IN WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER
5) make sure every clip is of good quality
6) TAKE YOUR TIME, dont rush the montage out, get QUALITY clips first.

and use QsKglobal.com or halo3forum.com or even gamingvids.com as good resorces and advice :)

uh...get better?

No, JK. But seriously, you have to find something that is truly amazing that make all other players stare in shock and awe. If I could find a good capture card, I'd denfinetly make a no scope or sticky montage. I, personally am good at those. Send me Friend Request if you (ahem)...want to get your game on.

I'll never say that again...well at least not for a while. Good luck!

No scope and stick montages are a dime a dozen. If you want to do something amazing, then don't even bother with those, unless you go pro. If you go pro, people will watch it just because of your status.

*SMG kills in a montage aren't cool or interesting.

*The text in the middle of the screen is annoying.

wow, thanks for all the feedback, yea that was my first one, and i admit, some of the stuff in there wasnt that great...but the bad thing is best thing/footage that i have is a killfrenzy, and it was in team snipers..... and i thought that was pretty good, cause there was only 4... But yea, i understand most of what your talking about, i really only do MM, cause i dont have any friends that play big custom games...and the ones that do are pro, and i always get raped...lol
anyway, im in the middle of making another montage, this one should be better, theres more sticks, falling scopes, no scopes, and multi-kills.... I am however trying to think of a good song for the montage... Right now im playing "Happy" by Mudvayne, and its okay, yea a good song...but any other ideas?

thanks for all the helpful comments!!

Uhh, just Bungie people.

A majority of the big montage sites encourage having them in the montages.
