Well, I finaaly was able to get FRAPS working and now I have a montage here it is.

The best part is at the beginning when the trumpets start. I put a rocket scene in there just for it.

Let me just speak for Nessy when I say that somebody in the Maw will always give a 10 out of 10 to a montage, no matter how bad or how good it is. This montage was far from good, and like these guys said, it was "weak".

I knew Master Kim was going to tell you what I was going to say whenever someone released a video next.

Ok, the point of a montage is it has your best clips put together to impress players.

Clips of sniping an immobile enemy or capping when nobody cares about it is not impressive neither is a nade + 8 pistol shot kill.

You also need to learn how to avoid fire because the noobs with the ARs almost killed you on several occasions.

Either you were trying to stick people very often or you have a very early last resort (when you think he is gonna kill you, so you try to stick him to take you both down). Good players only start throwing stickies alot when they know they are about to die, like the other guy is closeby with a shotgun and they are on 1 bar.

Take longer on your next video and maybe turn down your settings a bit to have a smoother video.

I am not going to rate this because it would be very low and I am not able to accurately label it.

Ummmm guys, I was just making htis for fun.....so I don't care if it was bad. I just wanted to make one. And hwoever gave it a 10/10, thank you, but it's not i give myself a 7.

And Kim, are you one to talk? You're montage was just as bad! I am not a good player, I'm not gonna have a grat montage. I just wanted to make one for fun like 80% of the videos made on here. I can't get my greatest kills all the time, with the 30seconds FRAPS crap. So wheatever, I don't have to take -blam!- form you guys.....
Do you really think I care that you say I'm not great? i'm not, I'm average so it don't matter to me. I just hate that other people post sucky montages just for fun and you don't say their horrible. Well, guess I should've put it in my original post....

A montage (literally "putting together") is an art form consisting of a number of smaller items put together.

No where in there does it say it has to be a collection of the best clips, it just has to be a collection of clips.

Oh and Quikgold ignorance is bliss. You didn't need to respond at all.

i almost never give 10/10. i tbh liked it. i liked the music, the transition effects could have been a little bit better, but over all it was well made, betters then yours, Kim, and just because you say something doesn't mean its true. Your arrogance really isn't needed.

I thought it was quite entertaining 9.5/10, and Igg's right about what a montage is.

Add me to your friends list if you haven't already. It's a lot more fun to play with people from The Maw and people I know than random noobs.

I know it is much better than my first montage was. I didn't even post it because I knew it wasn't worth it. I did my first one just to get a taste for editing and stuff.

My opinion: Impressive for a first montage. Obviously not a great montage but I was impressed since it was your first one.

10/10 = 100%, giving it 100% means that it can be no better than it is, are you trying to say that this video filled with nade + 8 pistol shot kills and spammage everywhere, 10/10 is a perfect (or atleast excellent) video. 9.5/10 is also very very good.

If you give this 10/10 what would you give a video that has a guy that gets 2 kills in 6 pistol bullets or 3 sniper kills in 3 shots? With good editting and who plays against alot of good players. Also if all kills are from matches against top clans?

Nessy, a montage doesn't have to "impress" players. Like Igg said, a montage is something you made by putting together scraps of footages you gathered. It can be for fun, it can be used to brag, etc. Quikgold obviously did this for fun.

And you also said "all montages are -blam!-". Does that mean you consider your recent montage to be crappy as well? I'm just wondering, since you said that.

And to quikgold, I liked the montage itself. The music was bad, well to me that is.
6/10

Keep at it and you'll make a good montage some day. =)

such high marks are always given, meaning whena truly spectacular montage appears, the marks seem nothing above ordinary.

I say all crap vids are crap. Good videos are not crap.

6/10 is not good to you? what is a good montage? 10/10 in that case is just good? What mark is spectacular?

and damnit Nessy, i dont give ratings about "how good the kills are" like you and kim do, i give ratings based on if i like it or not.

You don't judge it on kills? What do you judge it on? Music? Video Quality?

Okay, well lets see, the video quality was bad. If you think the music is good then you give it 10/10?

Iggwilv, it seems that we're arguing over symantics here. Yes, you are right, a montage doesn't necessarily have to show off your skill, but montages are defined slightly different in the gaming world here. Nessy is absolutely right. 10/10 is a 100% perfect score. No montage, not even Nessy's montage, is worth that score, because no montage is ever perfect. There will always be a better video or there will always be a flaw in it. Therefore, I have to side with Nessy here.

QUIKGOLD, just keep playing, keep practicing. I'm sure you'll churn out a better video some other time.
