Subject: A Halo 2 Vista montage? Yeap, that's right

Simply amazing. I'm going to have to give the trophy to these guys. For not only actually making a Halo 2 Vista montage, but having some of the damn finest montage editing I've ever seen - if not the best. All mad-skillz aside, of course.

It's just so damn well done. Watch the ending =]

Thoughts?

Edit: I'd like to mention that I'm basing the above video not necessarily only on "mad skillz", but on its immersion. It was simply a very entertaining video to watch, in my opinion.

I would also like to post a link to another H2Vtage (yet, it is an H2Vtage. Watch it) that was linked in this thread. Very nice stuff =]

It is pretty well done. Not much continuity, and a lot of it looks like just shooting before the other person can react, but still that's good reflexes and good aim.

Also I like the youtube comments where it's so good that no way it's done on a mouse, must be a controller.

This is the first Halo 2 Vista montage I've ever seen, and I have to say it's a good one. While this was a very fancy montage, it was a very good one at that.

I also never read YouTube comments... ever, so not much to say about that. But it looks like he probably was using a controller - noticed a bit of auto-aim goin' on.

Either way, still a very smexi H2V-tage.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Amazing.

Good editing skills that person has there.

I have my own Production Team, and I am the Lead Webmaster, so I'm not so bad at editing either, but that guy is amazing at gameplay and editing overall!

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

I thought it was mediocre at best. Pointing and clicking onto some noob running across the screen isn't my idea of amazing. Almost all of it was single kills...come on guys...you are being fooled by the editing.

Hail to the only one that isn't a sheep. Way to think outside the box, there.

But you have to take in to consideration this is an H2V montage - I've never seen one before. And the editing is a large part of the experience as well, very damn well done. Or, I'm sorry, I got fooled by the editing.

It was a good montage, nao hug meh =D

I take it back, he probably wasn't pointing and clicking. That can be mildly hard. Probably using a controller and that awesome auto aim feature. Ok, lets be real here though. Nobody decent plays H2v so it's like beating a bunch of retards at scrabble.

Editing was good, but overdone in a lot of places. I felt like it was compensating for that fact that most of the clips were, well, rubbish.

The last clip should have been left off since it only showed the quality of the players in the game and how hard it is to miss. ;)

Too bad he was playing with a controller and auto aim.

Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

Agreeing with the above, IT was WAY over edited.

Also clips of an aimbotter dont make a good montage.

Pro's
1. Edited together with the music - imo this is the only way to go for a montage to truly work.
2. Some really nice effects.
3. Some really nice moments.

Con's
1. It's way overedited.
2. Too short clips, gets to messy.
3. Focus on high skill clips - give them room. Remove the short one kills unless theyre "special".
4. Stick with a theme within the effects, this holds the vid together.
3.5/5 (this is not counting when ppl are just putting clips ontop of each other with music, unedited and some cheesy title)

Halo CE forever!

Here are two other great H2V montages:
WisdoM montage 2 (HD)
ExuS montage 2

ExuS montage is quite similar to the one posted first in this thread (if u havent viewed it), though the first one, from what i saw, contained better clips, though ExuS had some quite nice moments aswell.

Not sure its the same Wisdom but if u look on BC there are some quite ---ed up shots he makes - not even seing the oponent.
The Halo PC one was caught cheating several times for anyone's amusement ;(.

The montage was overeditated but it didn't make it bad, there were lots of funny and good moments (expecially when he killed a guy while falling down wow), however the last moments was very bad, killing people at the respawn is not a nice thing to do.

Here is a montage made by a member of my same clan, i enjoyed this even if it is not editated, it is about a capture the flag an i hope you will enjoy watching it :

And just another thing: the contreller has the autoaim option?really?this thing sucks

Does anyone use a M+K? All these montages look like controller auto aim. The Wisdom one, you can even see people TYPING about how some guy "needs to get a controller."

F that. Please do not ever do something as stupid as this again Microsoft.

Sorry both the gameplay and the montage aren't good.

  • 12.25.2008 2:33 PM PDT

To be completely honest here, I'm basing the first montage (in my OP) purely my immersion. A lot of it is fancy effects, but it does a really good job at holding your attention, and making you want to watch until the end. I'm judging it by the experience, not necessarily by skill.

I thought the first one was really neat. The second one had some pretty poor quality video - though, it did have some pretty damn sweet editing... but it just didn't really hold my attention.

But ehh, it's still cool seeing some H2V montages. I haven't seen any until just very recently, so it's new stuff to me >:3

Hey, a montage is still a montage. Any and all decent H2V montages make me happy =]
