Hey guys,

Well as most of you will know, this montage has been delayed for way too long, and it feels so good to finally be able to say it's done!

Me and GoldE took a whole new approach with the way we wanted this montage produced. So many people these days are caught up in effects that they are distracted from the true beauty of halo, and it's wholeness as a game. Pointless effects over perfectly good gameplay and the like. So I took it back to the roots, and found huge inspiration in what still stands as my favourite montage of all time, Maptackular. This montage sits in many people's top 5 tage lists, and I know many people on this forum loved the experience of maptackular. To think that it was contructed in windows movie maker, with a little photoshop for the intro and can still mantain it's reputation as one of the best in unreal. Seemless transitions, great music, and neat synching... what more could you really ask for in a tage, and furthermore insidious maintained the feel of halo's true beauty and physics.

So I set Trigzah the challenge of making a montage that won't detract people from the gameplay and halo itself. Of course you can't make a competitive montage (DEUX) feel the same as a cinematic experience (maptackular), but I asked him to use the basic editing elements that were used in Maptackular. Some of you will scream "you ripped off maptackular" or "no originality" but the truth is, Maptackular was such a high standard in my eyes I couldn't help but get over-inspired.

We kept the montage short and sweet, Trigzah chose the clips he wanted to use carefully and I left that all up to him. I really hope you guys will enjoy this montage and that it will be one you guys will look back on and want to watch again.

EDIT : Forgot to add it's 85% scrim footage.

i think what makes a good halo montage is the clips

nice vid. i just think if it had been done on pc instead of xbc it would have been better because to me it is so much easier to shoot with a xbox controller than a mouse and keyboard and also the fact that there is no lead either :/

EDIT : i didnt even think of it but im pretty sure it wasnt a mac and it was xbc. but if it was on a mac u have a really small lead.

wtf are you talking about?

it was PC..xbox dosent look like that and with a mac it dosent matter what kind of pc it was it depends on the connection which determines how much you lead

it was all on pc lol

they barely change everything so it looks like on xbox

He was saying it looked like xbox, but he said it might be mac. In that case, if he was on mac, he had small lead. He wasn't saying all macs have small lead.

I actually thought it was xbox too lol

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

what are you on about?

My 1st h3 montage

this is gonna be awesome. U guys posted all of those gameplays a while back. GoldE's pistol was so amazing.

Im reading all this stuff about the gameplay looking like its on a mac. I've played mac halo for 3 years, so ill be able to tell if it is or not.


edit: Definately not mac or xbox. There was definately lead in it too, plus there was white text, PC no doubt.

Awesome shots. I'm on a sh.tty comp, so its kinda laggy, when i get home later this week im sure it'll look better.
