Here's what I've been tinkering with for the past few weeks. This is a Natural Selection movie showing some awesome action from Poland's top-notch players.
The movie is in high-quality 640x480 resolution and compressed using XViD codec.

Here it is: <a href='http://212.14.33.103/~carnage/nsfilm.avi' target='_blank'>Natural Selection Movie by CarNagE</a> (Thanks to BOFH for hosting the file!).

If You experience problems viewing the movie, try installing the new XViD codecs, available <a href='http://www.koepi.org/XviD-1.0.1-05062004.exe' target='_blank'>here</a>. Enjoy! <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Er, who are these top notch players?

    Moomin don't be so ignorant... There are more good players than you think, you just don't appreciate them because you rarely play with them. I only know a small portion of the Polish players... I'm sure there'll be some good frags in the movie.

    I have never experienced any top-notched players from poland, moomin is right to be suspicious. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I live for the day for some one to make a small video file... or better yet, to buy me broad band :-(

    I haven't finished downloading the movie yet, but I can guarantee I'll like it because right now it's downloading at 400 kbs :) A fast upload speed is half the battle.

    Edit: Watched the whole video...about half of it was 'Holy crap, how on Earth did I survive that?', noob opponents, lucky instances where one of them happened to catch 3 or 4 marines with their backs turned, and so on. The other half was pretty fun to watch, had some genuinely skilled kills, these guys are far from mediocre but there was nothing like one marine taking on a team full of skulks at once or a gorge doing the same to a team of marines, but they were all pretty skilled. They seem to be particularly adept at switching to knife for the killing blow at JUST the right time...really, a good amount of knife kills and not one of them was just a lucky hit. Maxx was just plain awesome, some guy accused him of haxoring :p Interesting choice of music too, although it got a bit boring because one piece was during the opening sequence and the second piece aired for the entire 13 minutes during the actual fighting...it got a little repetitive.

    The only thing I'm left wondering is if 'puned' is the Polish equivalent of 'pwned', or was that just a typo?

    I pride myself in knowing the European competitive scene well, and I can honestly
    say that I've never seen a really good Polish clan. That doesn't mean that there
    aren't any good players out there, however.

    Nice movie, even though the filesize was way too high considering that the
    encoding was only of mediocre quality. Some variation in the musical score
    wouldn't have hurt either. Good to see people in the NS community being creative.

    I enjoyed it. It's a fun watch. Might try for a better framerate if you ever consider another one. Don't let anyone complain about the music though. Hair metal = rox0r.

    moomin, cal down. It might be a question, but it's sarcastic in a bad way. They made an effort.
  • CartiCarti Join Date: 2003-07-12 Member: 18099Members, Constellation
    Does it matter?

    A movies a movie. It's nice that you've made this to show how you guys play over there <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Nice Carn, always nice to see a frag video especially with familiar faces <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    But if I can give a few points of critiques:

    -The intro was half a minute too long. It was good, but at some point, you kind of expect it to take off, only it doesnt, and the intro continues.
    -Some of the scenes seemed to be a bit choppy in the video, i don't know why, could just be me though.
    -The entirety of the video is a bit of a contrast with each other. The intro and ending are set up for the "athmospheric" bit of NS, while the main movie is a frag video, with little in ways of athmosphere.

    -But it did have nice frags in them, good job and i hope you make another.

    seems im the only one who just liked the movie ;P

    i love the music (personal preference)
    the scenes are mostly interesting and worth to be in the film

    the only problem i could see is the quality <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    id really have to like the video in high-res

    and it seemed to me that the film has a low fps which is bad for the fast scenes

    Hmm first off all i play in natural Selection from the first version for some time and i can say that Polish players Like Hunters Clan are the moust skilled i have played. About the movie your right about the time the intro is a litle bit to long, i made this first then i made the demos and assamble all. This is my first movie there gone be anover. And about the framerate its 25frames ppl tells me its a litle bit frameless becouse thay use some lame codecs packs not the newest xvid.
    (640x480/25fps/3600bitrate). I more about the intro i liked to show all maps not only part of it thats why its so long.

    <span style='color:white'>[Edit]</span>Zephor thanks for proposal but i think the host can manage to give the file to every one with a good transfer.<span style='color:white'>[/Edit]

    Belay doubleposting, please.</span>

    Nice, downloading it right now <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    To add to the discussion about "how skilled they are": Did he ever say top-notch european players? No, he clearly was talking about poland, and H| is defintly the best clan there, even if they can't take it up with the "best" in europe <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo--> So stop flaming them and enjoy the movie.

    maxx makes some nice shotty kills :X shame its from public, more impressive from pcw's/league games.
  • rnnrnn Join Date: 2003-11-13 Member: 22756Members, Constellation
    I'm also suspicious since I also havent seen to a good polish clan(this doesnt mean they dont have good players though), hopefully it will be worth downloading.
    I'll download it when I get home.

    A: Worst filesize ever for 13 minutes.
    B: Theres is a movie underway.

    EDIT: Nice Music video, but you really have to compress it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Out of curiousity... could you name the current top polish clans? <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    D/Ling movie...
  • SlayerXSlayerX Poland Join Date: 2004-03-01 Member: 27028Members
    Polish Scene ( if I can even call it a scene ) is really small. We have only 3 active clans : Brotherhood of Steel, Asylum-Team and off course Hunters-group.org - the best out there. But all that doesn't mean that Poland don't have any skilled players. Most of these are from H| ...

    Back to the movie... I'm downloading it right now, I got really slow conn and it'll take days to watch it ;>
