well i think that you did a good job with this so far, but............theres no way that of all the reviews you have made ChrisTheHippie v2 can have the highest overall. IMO that montage shouldnt have gotten hosted. Its practically all single snipes. This is my only problem with the reviews.

Yeah, I think it is the best out of the ones I have put up there, but maybe I made it too high of a rating. I will have another look at it.

Yeah...Chris' editing is definitely very good, but his gameplay is lacking...

I also don't know about the syncing with ArKiVe, I do know when I was editing the part near the end he was a montage nazi about how the syncing had to be exact.

ps. review mine.
