Eli X Halo Montage 1.

Anytime this dude puts out something he always seems to get the most ridiculous clips. Well below is his first Halo Reach montage and with no surprise he gets insane clips. The way Eli plays is a way in which I have never seen before. He has a ridiculous awareness when it comes to maps, and when it comes to reaction time his reflexes are nearly perfect. Despite how good his gameplay was, the editing is very enjoyable and not to overdrawn. Major props to Revenge who is the editor on this one. Enjoy.

A video by Viral Design

With gameplay by the well known player "Muggsy". I must say that when individuals keep things simple in montages that is what I am most attached to. The song that is featured in this montage is not entirely overwhelming with screaming and or hard rock that alot of montage makers feel the need to put in. To those folks, I say find something else to do. The montage is truly about the gameplay, and one does not need screaming to overwhelm the gameplay. A simple instrumental is all that it takes to make a mind focus on the gracious gameplay.

I must say that the editing was a 10/10. The gameplay features alot of kills that are objective based. With that, multikills are available. Muggsy seems to be the king of these "kill 2 birds with one stone", and when talking about stone I am referring to the sniper bullet. With myself, I am stoked when this happens to me but it was like almost every other clip was one that featured this notion, deepening my depression. Only kidding I am. One particular clip almost had me peeing my pants and this was when Headhunter was being played on the level that looks like Ascension (someone help me out what is it) in which he takes control of the sniper and proceeds to get a noscope Killtrocity to end the clip. It must take some serious focus to not choke on that because the majority of us would like to blow up balloons and celebrate after a triple kill.

I am very happy that Viral Desgins kept in mind that it was important to add the aspect of simplicity to this montage. A major shoutout to Muggsy and V.D for providing us nerds with a gameplay that emphasized a players talent, and gameplay as opposed to special effects.

A 9/10 in my book. Enjoy!

Two Amazing Gameplays.

Everytime I visit HalO3FORUM.COM there always seems to be a video by IDutchy. These are truly the two most amazing gameplays I have ever seen in Halo Reach. Dutchy seems to take control of the map instantly, and has a strategy going into a gameplay everytime. If you look below, you can see a good montage by him. His name is growing in the Halo Community. Below is a game titled "My fastest 25-0 gameplay". Both games are under four minutes. The first one I will show is not the best out of the two but by no means is this a terrible thing.



As you can see he controls one part of the map for the majority of the game.

Here is the second, prepare to be amazed.

Moving on to Halo Reach...

So the videos below are older. I figured since it has been a few months since the release of the heavily favored Halo Reach that it is time to search for one of the most put together montages in the Reach Community. The release of "Halo Reach SHC Community Montage" was not a anticipated one, however it should have been. Community montages always give me a more welcoming feel because it is clips from different individuals and not just one. With that being said the editing is not over the top because no one's reputation is being put on the line. As you know, I am one to focus on gameplay as opposed to over the top effects. The opening sequence is the exact replicate of a good introduction. The laid back music combined with with the distant sniper rifle shots being fired only add to the relaxed feel that this montage gives. The gameplay is great, and also very new to me at the same time. Take a look, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Cloudy Cloud.

This next video features an individual going by the pro name Cloudy Cloud. Just by the first person view one can see how exceptional his playing style is, extremely insane reaction times, high sensitivity, and over all his well thought out playing ability. Since this player is ranked on the circuit a majority of his kills are on other sponsored players, and with this adds a degree of difficulty when it comes to capping mulitkills. Well you would never know, the editing of this montage makes it seem like he is owning everyone he encounters. A great deal of respect goes out to this vIdol for editing and putting together such an entertaining video.

Here ya go.

Very old school.

The next video featured is by a man going by the alias "BullxRape". One of the pioneers of montage making. I am not an advocate of completely overdoing it on editing as mentioned in Dutchy's montage, so this is my cup of tea. The clips are from 2005 but don't let this fool you. His gameplay truly shows of his skill, and playmaking ability. Everything flows smoothly, there is no shitty mulit-kills that make one very bored. The intro is well put together and is set up to flow with the rest of the gameplay. My props go out to the individuals at *iseeredpeople* because with this have made themself legends in the halo community. Here it is people, enjoy.

Look Before You Leap 3.

Want to talk about a creative montage? Look Before You Leap is an insane jumping video by the men at Jump Theory. I truly have never seen anything like it, I have searched and searched to find something that stands out from other jumping films. I did not see one superjump throughout this whole thing, what im doing is putting credit where it deserves to be put so without further adu I give you Look Before You Leap 3, the 3rd edition of the LBYL videos. My pleasure,
