I haven't even watched the movie for less than around fifteen seconds and I can already see an annoying flaw in it.

You have quite an unoriginal taste in music for your Halo montage. Like billions of other montages have never used this song before. And besides, this music should be reserved for H2 montages.

Just because of the fact that your music selection pissed me off it makes me ask you never to use this music in any future montages you will ever make again.

The gameplay isn't bad, but you could cut out some parts. Like when you shot that player who was standing still. That takes no skill, and yet it took you five shots to take him down.

It was good for a first montage, but you need to edit out some of it, including the times when you're just walking around looking for someone to kill. Oh yeah, an that part where you killed the guy who was AFK.

And yeah, the music was pretty unoriginal.

Yeah, theres umm, virtually no skill shown in that. You couldn't even kill people who weren't even shooting at you with multiple grenades. I would call it a gameplay video and not a montage.

Well I love that song and even though it IS over used, I never get tired of hearing it. The biggest problem I could see was that you were probably using the unregistered version of FRAPS and it kept cutting out before you got the kill. One of my rules is that the scene doesn't end until the enemy or I am dead. You left us hanging on a lot of those scenes. The font in the at the end was horribly plain and you can change the font to something more interesting. Put something with a little curve to it.

great music and gameplay. the only thing that annyoed the shyyyt out of me was the transitions. i was going to kill myself. try to make longer scenes instead of just a kill a scene, ya know? check out some of the halo 2 montages on youtube.com for some ideas

I'm not nearly the music critic that Master Kim is, though what I heard seemed pretty average. I've always wanted to see a Halo montage with something really offbeat for music– think "Singing in the Rain" from "Clockwork Orange."

I tried several times to play it through, but it freezes on your second sniper shot at the light green guy on Timberland.

Blow Me Away? Are you serious???

If only I recorded my ownage on the TUI server, it would have filled up half my next ROBOtage.

Eh, it's not like my crappy videos have been any better. "Blow Me Away" is a great song, but like half of the H2 montages out there use that music.

It was pretty good for a first time montage. Make another one! I just want to tell you to AIM FOR THE HEAD, with the pistol, place the bottom of the reticle on the person's head, and you will have many, many more kills.

What are you talking about? None of my montages have Blow Me Away in it.

Although I could make a decent montage with it.

I finished a montage of decent quality about a month ago or so, but for some reason Windows Movie Maker 2 didn't allow me to make a movie file. That made me mad.

Anyway, you don't want to see my crappy videos.
