Very nice! I remember my first montage (currently my only =S). I started off from crappy to insanely good. You shoot the same way I used to.
Anyways, couple pointers below:
You're #1 problem is that you're not leading enough, a lot of those shots could have been much shorter. Sometimes I'll force myself to play a game where my goal is not to die the least or get the most kills, but to use the LEAST ammount of ammo. That means ONLY headshots and 3SKs. As I do it, I get faster and faster at it, and after a couple of games, I end up winning. I normally play snipers, shields, 16 people, no second respond time. Gets lots of practice in.
Second, you need to play with people who literally dominate you. Basically, you spawn, have about 4 seconds, and you're dead. I used to keep playing servers where I'd never die, so sucking became a natural occurance for me when I played better people. Play servers where you don't always win. I did it for a week and I got much better.
Finally, you've got to make your video smoother. Crank down the game settings all to bare minimum low, then record. I've rigged my computer so that when I'm recording, my video card and hard drive have IRQ priority, but yea, that's just me.
I think I'll try to make a montage sometime for you guys now. I always get inspired when I see someone else doing it.
Hey, thanks! I loved mixed comments with post good comments and criticism. I call them trail mix posts. xD
And for your recommendations:
Trust me, I can do 50x better than this, it's just I'm not used to playing with 25-30 FPS (I used to though), ever since I got my new graphics card, I play with 60-75 FPS. 80% of my kills nowadays are headshots, 3sk's, you name it, but until I find a good way to smooth out my recording without lowering down anything, I won't be putting too much of my pwning skills in my montages. =/
Ah, yes, but yesterday, there weren't many good servers on. All the "clan" servers, had like 2/16, so I just joined random servers that had 6+ people to put in as much pwnage as I can shoot. ;D
[7yearoldmode]Aw...but I jwust weft integwated!!! Me don't likey ugly pictuwres!!!11 I refuse to lower anythwing down!!!11[/7yearoldmode] xP
that sniper server, no shields, BG, was it IK recruiting?
I think so, all I remember is, the server's name was "something" recruiting...o.o, well at least I got to pwn some new recruits! xD
