Subject: Thoughts on Standards for Montage Clips?

"To me, a nice triple kill with the sniper is infinitely more impressive than any Living Dead Killionaire"

Does flaming people on forums count as an esport?

I'm a commendation/achievement/statistics freak.

Anyone?

When I play to win I voice message people call outs.

Depends what type of montage. Obviously the clips will be different if you're comparing a funtage and a 100% MLG montage. For the former I would suggest sticks, lucky betrayals, etc.

For serious montages, the clips should be of weapons that require some skill. DMR, Sniper. (Somehow rockets are accepted). Not many clips should be involve kills on AFK'ers.

I'm confused about rockets myself. In Reach they're guaranteed filler kills for when you're looking for someone snipeable.

Rockets are just for adding on to a multikill, a 100% rocket clip is hilariously bad. You don't see any "omg that guy got a triple kill with rockets in mlg!#!", you'd see "omg that guy got a overkill/exterm in mlg with rockets and snipe!@#!"

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

Clips in any montage should be rare/hard to pull off.

In funtages, they should be lucky betrayals, unfortunate accidents, unplanned sticks, random two- or three-for-one snipes, and other such rare events. Hell, even out-ARing three people in a row could apply.

In "MLG" montages, the actions should require skill, such as out-DMRing people while starting with no shields or good multikills. Unfortunately, this type of montage is becoming nothing but snipers, so mix it up a bit.

When your spirit is floatin' down the tunnel, toward the light, you know wot's behind the light? It's not god. It's me. And I'm gonna kick your --- soul all the way back down the tunnel, 'til you choke on your own ---'d up ribs. Now. Wake. The ----. Up!

Funtages are infinitely better than MLG'tages.
I'd put anything that made everybody in the game laugh into the funtage, such as being splattered by a barrier off of a warthog missile, or sticking your entire team with a failed plasma lock-on.

lol One time, my teammate (silently) kept firing blueberries at the people trying to take their Wraith while I was trying to steal it. I got it and proceeded to boost away from the enemy, straight into three of the blueberries. Luckily I didn't die, but we still laughed.
