You're a Forerunner...I'm glad those 24+ days in Competitive matchmaking resulted in something worthwhile (besides your enjoyment)...
As far as the "montage" goes...bad first, good second...
I'd be much more willing to watch something shorter and a bit more focused, per se.
The music, while good, doesn't fit the 'cut' of the clips...better syncing (any at all) and a tighter editing style would do wonders.
I could do without the multi-kills against non-moving players, complete noobs, spawn trapped players, and in Objective gametypes where you're literally just lobbing grenades into the hill or taking out players who are attempting to play the objective.
The choice to 'break up' the montage into categories, in my view, takes some of the fun out of watching it. I would of enjoyed something more random or better flowing (in terms of one clip leading to another)...instead it was 1. Sniper Kills...*watch a bunch of sniper kills*...2. Grenade Launcher...*watch a bunch of GL kills*...etc...etc...it was kind of dull to me.
The absurd length of time along with the above, IMO, takes the focus off the things you actually do that are impressive and instead leave me thinking of all the pointless [objective killing] clips (for example).
Basically: Less fluff & filler...more substance & quality.
The Good
There were plenty of great sequences, amazingly lucky kills, superbly timed actions (that then resulted in something "lucky"), skillful encounters, and overall quality gameplay. You obviously love playing Halo and I'm glad you were able to share some things you felt were your best.
Unfortunately, your capture hardware leaves much to be desired, as does your lack of creativity with editing, sequencing, and overall style.
I applaud your effort and honestly this is a bit more entertaining than your standard "l33t 100% MLG DMR Spam Fest Against Randoms While Searching Full Party Montage" that you normally see...but I just wish you had someone in your ear telling your "dude, cut out all that Revenant sniping and those Objective multi-kills, yeah that's cool and all, but it really detracts from the overall quality...and let's try and edit this all together in a cool and unique way rather than just listing clips one after the other."
