Not bad, I dont make montages, but I have watched my fair share of them, and I know good songs are from Anberlin.

Sitting from afar and ending lives before your location is even known. Accuracy is your greatest asset, and you use it well. Linda would truly be proud.

I make them quite often and my motto was always the "Less is more" approach. Montages were never meant to showcase editing, the editing was meant to showcase montages.

In other words, instead of giving someone an epileptic seizure, just try to bring out the quality of the clips.

Also in Halo the voice that says the multikills sounds stupid in fast forward, quiet the volume down when fast forwarding.

And instead of just fast forward/ slo-mo try fading to black for a second, then cutting out the fast forwarded section, then fading back in.

And so that you know I'm not just blowing smoke Here is my channel, check my first four or five uploads. Personally Idk what everyone saw in the first one, but the people really liked it.

I'm not trying to be harsh, but here's my honest opinion on that "tage" you linked.

Video quality: 3/10
Gameplay quality: 2/10
Editing quality: 1/10 (little/no sync, no effects)
Music: 6/10 (good song, too bad you didn't edit to it)

You need to watch montages that are benchmarks, if you want to know what's good and what isn't.

Here are some amazing montages.

Legacy - Edited by Zola Media
Frenetic Array Montage - Edited by Mattisson Design
Dutchy's 2nd Montage - Edited by Exus (Astiun Media)
Fragtality + Sticktality - Dualtality - Edited by Fragtality
Str8 Rippin's Team Montage - Edited by Zola Media
Neighbor + Hysteria's Dualtage - Edited by Phurion Films
Phurion + Fluxy's Dualtage - Edited by Phurion Films

Those are a small portion of montages that have been made that are amazing. There are MANY more out there, but I couldn't be bothered linking them all. Watch them, and you'll see what makes a good montage.

Programs used are Sony Vegas and Adobe After Effects for the most part.

wanna play?
if you do you will probably hear me say "jesus flying kangeroo balls a lot".

Ok first of all jesus the quality is terrible,
what you do is click on file go to render as (when you are done with the montage) then click on save as type, select .wmv, then after that click on template and select 6MBps HD 720-30p video then click render.
Second don't use heavy metal in your montages, and third look up some tutorials on youtube on how to do effects
