That's the thing with L4D frag vids, they can't really be 'frag' vids. The game isn't just based upon out shooting your opponents. In other titles such as COD, then yeah, give us just mad shots and clutches because that's what the game is about.

A vid needs to be done that shows off the main fundamental of the game, team work. Explaining how it happened in the clip can be hard but not impossible. By all means use a map saving bullshit punt here and there or a insane flick shot skeet but try and get some really solid plays rather than some hero taking on a hunter that he may have got but has failed and cost his team more often than not.

That's the other thing that losses me off. Half of these quads you see in L4D vids are just 'herpa durpa kgo', usually showing the smoker hit first and the other hunters just randomly hit survivors. The other night we hit quad that went like this:
Hunters jumped in and deliberately jumped around to separate survivors, smoker spawned up, hunters were comm'd to go in and the smoker picked the last one from a nice safe distance. That to me is a perfectly executed quad.

So more focus on teamwork and less on random luck of a sloppy hitbox. It doesn't have to be just quads, there is numerous times where 2 survivors do some amazing shit to completely alter a maps outcome.

Meltdown, that vid is awesome, no doubt about it. Although just cos someone has done it, doesn't mean someone else can't make one as well. Otherwise I'll ring the local video shop and tell them they have to throw out all the action movies and just leave Rambo there.

Try and get some audio of some comm work in there. No doubt Meshu, Archie or even Reaver would have some moments where they thought '**** that was a good call'. Especially Meshu, biggest head since neanderthals.

I say all that because I honestly think this D Tard has the ability to make a real solid vid. Community input to help the guy is only going to make his vid more popular.

Also man, have a chat to Phil (philol), I reckon his editing config was boss for L4D. He also used some great text and camera panning. Have a look and see what you think

the above video that tratty mentioned

Got some steps for y'all.

1. All you pikachus get a real f'n profile pic, except Rexachu, you're safe......this time...
   
2. Dw b happy, If people are rly dumb enough to go into a CG match with half-assed punting skills and go out to use it, that's their problem and they face consequences. (A good example is Reaver against Crayons in CGi, and he totally owned a Hyu 25, and recieved much applause. ) See? Consequences.
   
...
Oh w8...

3. Also give me your demos b4 you give them to DTard, and I'll.....review them first...yes thats it! Review!

Not quite sure if you're complimenting Hyu and I or insulting us there, but if I recall correctly it was either smack face or get smacked, no dodging that one with so much shit going on around me + trying to get over and drop a punt on the hunter going for Beq 'coz she was swarmed.

As Tratty said, community doesn't need more Commando pub punt/skeet vids but a real MANLY MAN'S L4D VIDEO. Talking teamworkz, beastan, killan, smokan, huntan, booman, survivan, etc. Add in a beast punt/skeet here and there but videos that focus on things like that have been done to death and the only people it impresses are casuals or bads.

I'm not tryin' to knock ya', mate. I do like the idea of bringing back some vids to breathe a bit of life into our beloved game again, but HERP I CAN SPAM RMB TO PUNT DAT 1 HUNTA O SORRY TEAM I DIDNT REALISE U 3 CAPT LOLZ isn't the way to go about it.

I love your video Phil

Actually Reaver you were at the back of the survivor pack with no zombies around you and you chose to stop there and wait for the 25 punt. lol
And its a compliment btw.

First 7.30mins no skeets or 25s, just teamwork and tanks.

Last 1 min only showing skeets and 25s at crucial times (incap near saferoom due to 25, 2 stopped quad attempts, lolmolly, chain 25s to get 50dmg). I admit I added a few 25s in there which just looked good.

I'd like to think that the quality of l4d movies has gone up since I last tried.

Yes, I remember the video. That's what this one is kind of following. It's not a serious video, just something for fun to do. IDK why you all are getting bent out of shape, it's not like it harms you to have some fun with a video. ^This
It's for the "lols". **** you PR3D <3
