Title: ShinxZ:: A Halo 3 Montage

Editor:ShinxZ

Gameplay: ShinxZ

Thoughts:
This is a decent montage….It is WAY WAY over edited, to much for my tatste…But if you can get past all the flashes, slow-motion, speed ups…And everything in between its a good watch…Theres alot of decent gameplay in it..But where there is good…there is bad…There was alot of just plain trash gameplay also

Ratings:

Quality: Hard to see gameplay most of the time…..2/5 plasmas

Editing:  I give the editing a 1/5.There was editing…but WAY to much

Clips:  I give it 3/5 plasmas….From what i could see it was decent

Overall: Over all i give it a 2/5 plasmas…It was good…But WAY over edited….

Title: Stryke x MT H3M1

Editor:

Gameplay: Stryke x MT

Thoughts:

Not the best montage ever…If your looking for an overkill montage this is not it..There are a few very entertaining clips in this…At the beginning his teammate and he are going to sandwich a opponent, but his teammate swords through the guy and kills Stryke….Irony at its greatest

Ratings:

Quality: I give it 2.5 Plasmas…Not the best, but by far not the worst

Editing: There is very little to no editing..Can’t give it a 0 so 1/5 plasmas

Clips: There are some entertaining clips hidden in this mess…3/5 plasmas

Overall: I give it 2/5 plasmas….Not the best…but by far not the worst

Title: Phenomenon

Editor: Fatality Films

Gameplay: FatalEvOloutiON and JFactor

Thoughts:

It was a rather enjoyable montage…Quality was kinda lacking and blurry..Other than that there were a few nice clips in there.  There were a few really good multi-kills with.  The whole montage had a rather nice flow to it.

Ratings:

Quality: I give it 2/5 plasmas….Quality was lacking

Editing:  It was smooth but there wasn’t much to it…I give it 2/5 plasmas

Clips:  I have to give the clips a 2/5 plasmas..There were a few decent ones…but they were few and far between

Overall:  I have to give the montage over all a 2/5 plasmas…It was an ok montage..could have been better, it’s on the bottom end of the montage charts though.

Honorable Mentions:

Slaughtr Destny and his CellPhone Montage:
