    Well that was an utter waste of 90MB of my bandwidth right there.

    Care to explain to me what exactly is so magnificant about this piece of demo that it deserved to be a fragmovie. I see a fade blinking back and forth the same hallway for the entire movie, I mean come on... I do find it rather hilarious you keep throwing about fancy names, "exigent this, CAL that", while the marines you were playing, were indeed just proper ****.

    The terrible, ego-boosting frag movies that everyone in CS is making finally make it to NS! Horrible quality, and a linkin park soundtrack to top it off <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    The actual content of the movie is somewhat dire - watching a fade blink back and forwards to kill the same light marines was slightly intresting at the start when there was a hmg or two, but after a while it gets pretty boring, especially as its only LMGers that you are fighting against, and in such a small coridoor. It also seems that they dont have an armor upgrade for half the movie, as you're killing them in 2 hits fresh from the phase gate. I play fade for my clan too, and I know that this is often what fades end up doing - but watching you for 6 minutes with half of it being you healing at the hive, and with no particularly skilled frags in there was plain boring.

    I think if you're going to make a frag movie then it would be better to use several clips of skilled play from various lifeforms (with the boring bits cut out), perhaps with some good marine footage thrown in. Also, if you put a little effort in and make a decent intro & end credits it will make the movie look a lot better overall.

    Oh my god, Forlorn put Rob Zombie and Linkin Park in a NS skills video.

    NS DEMANDS TECHSTEP/IDM/D&B.

    PS didnt download it on principle, but the music choice is an issue w/ me anyway.

    Skill movie? Forlorn?
    Anyways, downloading now.
    Edit: Done watching, pretty decent I guess. Crappy codec though, needed more footage too.

    Let me clarify.

    *ahem*

    <b>IT'S NOT A FRAG VID YOU INTELIGENT PEOPLE, IT'S A CLIP OF NS CLANPLAY.</b>

    Hence the name, <i>skill</i> video. Not "OMG I KILLEDED A GUY LOLOLO VIDIAEO"

    And actually, you don't see it from that <u>CLIP</u> of the match, but he took down several heavies if I recall correctly, along with FULLY upgraded lights with rather large guns, not 0/0 pub-I aim marines useing welders.


    If anyone's interested in the demo I'm gonna check around for the whole match, and maybe then you can have more of an idea of what you're talking about with these "nub" rines.


    Align, the scary thing is quite a few arn't joking. They really ought to shut the **** up, because they're bloody terrible at this game.

    They were too ignorant to realize that half of the situations Lorn could not be shot due to how he used the siege/TF hitboxes in conjunction with his own correctly, and have never even seen a fade hit the +duck key without being banned from the server they play on. They're also calling the rines "bad" because they figure if the fade could live that long around them, it wasn't good movement skill it was obviously **** aim, and can't get over the fact that someone know's what they are doing way better then they could ever admit and they'd probably have died about 8 times way before they ever escaped the 1st.

    I'm going to guess around 5% the total shots missed.

    Watch the whole scrim sometime if you want it in all it's glory. It was amazing, probably NS gameplay at its finest. Course, all you 1 server pub champs seem to know what you're talking about way better.



    And moo, it's unfortuanate that the large amounts of idiocy in this thread are from european players. Quite a shame too, lots of euro's are good guys. (girls?)



    Well about the quality of the video- use the program he's telling you to use to run it, it's actually at 800x600 which is what most people play this game at.




    Now to a specific few individuals, (I will not mention they're names although I'm sure it's not nessacary)-



    Shhhhh.

    Now go impress me with some amazing "community NS" play or something. Make a video. Make it filled with suspense, and this game at it's finest.

    Oh wait, not one of you has the balls to make one. Cause you're probably scared about what your e-friends might think if everyone knew how bad you were.

    ::EDIT:: And yeah, the music well to each their own <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Yes, I'm european, and I don't like the fact that uninformed nubs come and insult good players without knowing **** about them. To those who called the marines nubs, I'd like to see how you play clan matches. Unless you can match the skill level Exigent had at its best time, you better keep your mouth shut.

    PS: Dieing as fade to a la lmg is cool.

    NGE:

    1) "Skill" videos are videos that show off in-game skills! This usually means rocket jumping, concing, bunnyhopping, anything like that. NS Jumped was a skill video - this is a frag video (and it shows practicaly nothing of clan play as it only focuses on 1 fade).

    2) Hold on.. you mean he pressed duck and HID BEHIND A SIEGE? pr0 to the the maxx!

    3) I'm sure he did kill some heavies, but thats not in the video and call me old fashioned but I decided to judge the video (as a video) from watching... the video!

    4) The movie is 400x300, not 800x600

    Well just watched the video.

    This is Cal final Standards is it?............

    Some ok fading held the hive nicely i suppose considering ur upgrades, by no means even close to the best fading i have seen,but like i said it ok above average i'd say.

    Nice work on vid perhaps its time for me to do a movie.

    Can i cross demos from previous version or do they all have to be same version?

    *Edit When u showed ur mini map how come the place names where visible out of curiosity was there no file consistancey on ?

    2. You are right. Pr0's stand there and take the bullets like a true fade!

    3. You can't judge the marines of the entire round off one video

    4. No, the video is 800x600 resized down to 400x300 to squeeze down the filesize, the actual quality (which I referred to) is 800x600. It's resized to minimize file size.

    Why do I have the feeling that the only critism that comes from the Euro's is because it's coming from anti-americanism? Notice, very little American critisism. And all the American critique is constructive. Less bigot <3 pls

    NGE, at least read my original post if you're going to try and counter it.

    1) Clearly not, as this movie is boring.
    2) ...
    3) I didnt comment on any of the marines ability, I commented on the VIDEO
    4) I love americans.

    3. Perhaps it would be wise to include points at which the awesome marines were fighting the awesome aliens, rather than dying like pigs, no?

    4. The filesize is hardly minimum. Get a better compressor.

    Anti-Americanism? Way to beat up the straw man.

    I've gone on 21 kill skulk streaks. And I'm a better fade than I am a skulk. Does that make me some kind of god?

    4. Hey it's using XviD... the best compressor for gaming video's. Learn what you are talking about?

    21 kill skulk streaks? Now those are crappy marines, because skulking is very little skill almost all teamwork to it.

    Meanwhile a fade can take a bullet or two and so using good judgement in that case is skill. Also we must consider the calibur of the marines you played off against; mine were exigent, you could give any one of those guys an HMG and they would be able to solo you before you get off two swipes. But keep talking about something you know nothing about,

    Fana needs to be impressed some more!

    Nah, he didn't download it, AND he doesn't like the music.

    But I really think you could have done a lot better for a skill video. The only "good NS skills" part in the video is the lerk and when the other aliens come to help you bring down all the structures, other than that it's not much to look at, even if none of us could reproduce it(certainly not against the same marines).
    It simply doesn't LOOK skillfilled, thanks to it being all about when a hive is sieged.

    Basing my thoughts on what have been said in this topic..

    CAL doesnt quite fit to have any standards here in Europe, atleast for people like me who mainly play with euros.

    Im pretty sure about any who read these forums know who and how good Exi's ppl was or is, but its been fairly experienced, around here anyways, that the fade needs to have a hellava large advantage over the marines to be able to stay alive long and to frag like a maniac. Now if the fade only was 1lvl celerity, which like, helps none. I dont understand how , or yet why the Exi ppl, in their pro aim and all, couldnt have killed lorn :x .

    Apparently, i need to download the video, and maybe the hltv demos if a link is quaranteeded, to see, just why..


    And yeah, stop generalizing, pls ;<

    PS. Was this the famous game to which we saw the nicely topic of lorn being all charming himself, posting pictures of scoreboard and flaming how pro frags he got?
