Halo Reach? Probably my favorite Halo Game
Halo 3: ODST? Kick-blam! probably the coolest Halo game, and the best Firefight.
Halo 3? Has the best level in all the Halo games, The Covenant.
Lookin' forward to Halo CEA and the return of the awesome Magnum!

I have a lot of good videos and clips from multiplayer, and I wanted to make a cool montage. Does anyone have any tips on how to make one, set up, moving/editing content, etc. This would be my first montage, so any help is greatly appreciated.

try to match the beats of the music with what your doing in the game. It makes the montage feel better.

Don't release it until your happy with it. I know I would have liked it if I put a little bit more into a couple of my vids.

Thanks for the tips. Any software suggestions for putting it all together, like iMovie, or something?

Definitely Sony Vegas. Everything else just sucks.

Okay, and how do you transfer the clips from the Xbox to the computer? Do you need a capture card, or is there another way?

So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

Waypoint isn't pro-anything so much as they're just anti-intelligence.

If you want them to be optimal quality, you need a capture card.

I have a hauppauge hd pvr and I would recomend getting one to anyone who is interested in making montages.

You can make them off of rendered films but your montage will not be as good. Whatever you do don't use a video cam.

Also I know that M1STAWU1FY has some sort of goofy set up, but it works so I can't knock it.

Any specific brand, or are they all good?

Breaking barriers.

First of all, never use any gameplay from Reach. Not only is it boring to play, but watching it is a sleeper in comparison to montages of the past. I would choose a different game.
