I thought it was really well done. All the clips are cropped enough that the video never gets boring.
Love that sword-rocket-sword move. The last clip was very cool as well.
Other than just way way too much sniping, good video.
Nice shit. Does go to show how crazy the sniper rifle is without a pistol to help balance it out. But nice shit.
Shit man, your sniping is no joke.
My favorite is when you stickied Chux right before the wall got in the way. HOLLA!
Sniping and Stickies are the only thing that show real individual skill... it would be boring to see me dual wield and take out guys for three minutes, especially when anyone can dual wield, not everyone can get no scopes.Quote:

That's Hot.
What happened to the ending though? it just cut out. At least finish the song out and add some crazy Hog stunt for the finale.
Was that a cover band? It sounded a little too high pitched to be JEW... anyway.
Great video. I don't ever remember you being that good in-game. That's hot.
He sniped the driver out of a warthog about to run him over at the end, that also is fucking rediculous. Far better than any warthog stunt.Quote:

The hours approaching to give it your best
You got to reach your prime.
That’s when you need to put yourself to the test,
And show us the passage of time,
Were going to need a montage (montage)
Oh it takes a montage (montage)
Show a lot of things happing at once,
Remind everyone of what’s going on (what’s going on?)
And with every shot you show a little improvement
To show it all would take too long
that’s called a montage (montage)
Oh we want montage (montage)
If in anything you want to go, from just a beginner to a pro,
You want a montage (montage)
Even Rocky had a montage (montage)
(Montage…montage)
If in anything you want to go, from just a beginner to a pro,
You need a montage (montage)
Oh it takes a montage (montage)
Always fade out in a montage,
If you fade out, it seems like more time
Has passed in a montage,
Montage
The regular sniping was cool and all but the ones that cauht my eye were those times when you were taking down like four-five guys in a row (that and the sticky runs, some of those were funny as hell). Makes me wish I was that good instead of sucking at Halo multi and not being a big fan of sniping.
Good stuff.
I agree to my fullest extent. THE PEOPLE DEMAND MORE MONTAGES!Quote:

There will be more.
The next one will be even more packed with awesome.
I just played normally and when crazy shit happened I saved it.Quote:

It's timed pretty well too. Most of the hits go along with the beats in the song.
The best part about that is what I scream when it happens, the high res one should have me screaming.Quote:

Thats some crazy shit. I love snipping. People dont know what killed them. Too bad I got rid of my Xbox. I miss killing and shooting people. *sigh
Since I'm too lazy to post in the official thread, fuck you Chux. Took you too long to send an invite, by the time you did my Xbox stopped accepting Halo 2 as recognizable media. Gay
That thing with the Warthog was nice.
Not my first choice of songs though. :(
I told him Smooth Criminal would be better.
Now, try that on a higher sensitivity, NOpaqueWings!
Man, I still can't get over the CTF moments in there... love the flag duel in the middle.
I WAS SPINNIN' FREE, WHOA OH OH WHOA WHOOOOA.
that is some nice sniping and sticking there, opaque.
This just proves you play too much fucking Halo 2.
Glad we're in the same clan.:sweat:
Good shit, Opaque. You nearly made Halo 2 seem like a good game. Which is impressive.
It's hard to believe I personally know someone that plays something that well.
I remember those days at Gamer Pad we'd both be getting screwed by Hector and Jose at the first Halo. Well, me more than you.
Bravo man.
Man, you've improved since we last played (to say the least). Good shit.
Keyboard and mouse fags: pay attention!
All you have to do to make the next video better is choose a better song.. Great shit,
Very nice, but best ever? nah ;P
God damn I suck at Halo.
WoW, I was just watching this in class (lecture) and I think I'm going to watch it again...I wish I was that good :D
You don't have to snipe like a god to be awesome at Halo.
But you do have to use the battle rifle.
Nice vid, not that I needed convincing.
Good stuff. I agree that a bit more varitey in the kills would have been nice, though.
Makes me think I need to start using the sniper rifle more.
I have to say incredible sniping. Some of those kills were unreal. The sticky kills are also nice. Take Chux's suggestion and go with Smooth Criminal for your next vid.
Use the song you had on your first edit of this vid, it was good.Quote:

No, why would somebody cover the song and make it sound exactly the same with only a slightly higher pitched voice (according to you)?Quote:

No offense to you Opaque. :D
Halo 2's netcode is just that awesome.Quote:

Nice vid.
GamePro Protip: If playing a team game with Opaque, give him the sniper rifle.
I declare that you must now bring it.Quote:

Preferably a covie one. I'm not as quite as good as Opaque, especillay as sniper, but with the covie rifle it's ridiculously easy to get 4 kills in a row. The only trouble is you can't get quite the same RoF, which hurts in sone spots, like when you're no scoping an overshielded enemy. That's my favorite moment in the vid, I think. 4 no scope hits close in and fast: that's harder than it looks. One miss and you're toast.
The bouncy nade kill was sweet-looking.
im now certain that a majority of the people on Live suck. not to take away from your performance but MAN are some of those kills simply from people being completely braindead.
:lol:
Looks to me that a good number of them are TNLers.
Everything looks a lot easier when you're not actually doing it and watching someone else do it in a video (at least in terms of playing Halo).Quote:

Thats because there were 2 guys over there trying to defend those stairs not paying attention to the rockets, not because they were just standing there waiting for him to shoot a rocket. I wouldn't call that pitiful at all, I would call it unfortunate for those who got hit by the rockets.Quote:

Oh, and I LOVED the "sticky bomp on the guy as he comes up the upshoot jet" thing.
As an avid UT Original fan from back in the day, I completely agree with this. Even the Shock rifle had its good sides.Quote:

Halo 2 just tells the network that the guy got shot, so he's considered being shot at, whether or not it looks like he is on the other system. If the latency is above a certain tolerance level, though, it doesn't do that, so you can't just shoot away at someone that's standing still in one place due to lag.
It's genius.
I will also use this opportunity to say that Tracer is bringing up Gearbox Software's Halo PC netcode as a frame of reference of sorts.
lols.
If you want to know more about Halo 2's netcode I point you here . It's an interview with one of the guys who helped implement the netcode.
STFUQuote:

Nice to know Halo 2 kicks that kind of ass.
I <3 Opaque
Woah, that's fucking awesome. If it uses deterministic simulations it must be fucking tight, since one incorrect input and they'd bifuricate and you'd be fucked worse than lag.Quote:

Why, though?

Which opens the door for rampant cheating in most cases.
Not really.
Noir Wings... what the fuck?
Good action though.
Mental issues.Quote:

That's pretty fucking desperate.Quote:

I'm impressed. Could've used a better song, but it worked.
The ending was also perfect. :tu:
well, I finished halo 2 for the first time. LOL
AS IF that was the intended ending.
I dislike the music genre and I don't like Halo. I really just shouldn't have clicked the link. My bad.Quote:

But my question is, is why the hell the it got you 'really annoyed and partly angry'? It really just doesn't make any sense, even if you don't like the music or the game.Quote:
