I comment here and youtube. My suggestions as someone who also does montages:
A) Pick a different song, most people would probably find this song annoying, although you did fit the beat and tempo well with the clips. Verywell done. If you don't want to change the song, I recomend turning it down in volume, so that it does not overcast the gameplay. I personally like to use halo-themed music(Lone Wolf| Uphill Both Ways| The Beta, Its Super Awesome) for my montages bcause they usually feel very....in place. They fit well into gameplay ands seem like they could or should have been playing in game. By turning down the volume on your songs, you allow the viewer to hear the announcer announcing the kill medals and such, which makes the clip feel more alive. You also allow the viewer to hear the sound of the rocket impacting, grenade bouncing, etc.
B) Very well done opening! I love that opening. If you are doing this for a group, I would recomend using the same opening for all your videos. Problem: You lead from the lockers and their stairwell into the powrhouse. I would recomend, for continuities sake that you use stair and otehr footage from the powerhouse itself. Although it was still a very cool opening indeed.
C) Try to include clips from people other than yourself, as this both
1) Increases the number of people who definatly want to recomend the video to their friends, since they are also a part of it.
2) Prevents the video from looking like it is just YOU showing of YOUR skills. It gives it more of a 'community' feel.
D) Make sure to mention in the description, or in the credits:
"Thank You Bungie. All rights reserved by Microsoft Inc, Bungie LLC, etc."
Other than that, great clips and good editing. Could really use a pro like you in Spartans On The Ground.
