Now that I got my new graphics card, I can record in-game footages with 30 FPS. =D Therefore, I made my first ever HaloPC montage.

Enjoy!

P.S. Any comments and/or criticism are welcome.

Before even starting to talk about your kills, I recommend that when you record, lower your settings to the lowest, so you get as smooth a video as possible.

Now, PERSONALLY, as in in my oppinion, as in this is what I do, you shouldn't put kills solely of people standing still in, that is like clicking on an item of your desktop, pretty easy.

No shields are a bit simple.

Sorry but your 3sk shows a gun running towards you that is actually popped after the first bullet lol.

lking forward to the next one.

Lol, thanks for the comment. I'll keep everything you said in mind.

And yup, I'm also looking forward to the next one, maybe in a few weeks or so. Depends on when I feel like pwning&recording again. xD

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

No, that is not how halo is supposed to look. It is overly shiny and lacks details.

Don't forget the low resolution.

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.

Yeah, all has been good ever since I got my new graphics card. xD Thanks for the comment.

He meant it by "generally", static. He's obviously comparing it to integrated graphics, and with the shiny pistol, green grass, shiny SPARTAN's, blood, etc. of course it looks good to him.

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

Take longr to gather footage, if you have a card, I see no reason not to record all normal weapon games.

Oh, and btw DBZ, im hoping you were exaggerating when you say all HS and 3sks.

It's not possible to get all headshots in a round? o.O

It is if you have no lag. I've done it before.

But your computer is obviously better than mine. Which obviously means I have trouble keeping a constant FPS during in-game recordings.

With lag it is impossible, that I'd garuntee. It's why aimbots miss too.

Lag is insanely hard to deal with, and it requires lots of practice and critiqueing to get perfect.

No, I don't get 3SKs and headshots 24/7, but I get a lot, and when I don't I slap my hand. What I often have to do is stop playing if I just can't shoot that day. If you suck a day and you keep doing that...

Well, the sucking mentality gets built into your brain. Watch pros play, get a feel, look at their ping and how much they lead. Many games you can aim subconciousely, Halo you've got to dab a little of both your concious and subconcious. That's my thoughts for today.

Not really, I can get noscope shots when recording. Of course I'm not always consistent, but I can hold my own. Heres an example, a 1v1 match that I did and won.
