The editing itself was technically fine, but how it was done was probably in the most unoriginal way that I've ever seen.
Colours are just typical magic bullet looks or something along those lines, saturation with an orange gradient and exposure.
Film burn effects with the same red/orange/yellow colours as always.
Basic camera angles that I've seen done in the exact same way 500 times before.
Extra generic sound effects over the top of gun sounds.
Muffled music on one of the frags for no real reason.
And the most unoriginal part of the whole clip... music was by Dead by April... really?
I know it's 'just a clip', but when you eventually make a movie it's only going to be as good as all your best clips combined (usually it turns out much, much worse as a general rule). It's hard to be original when editing games like CS:S especially with camera angles, but it can be done and it's a shame you aren't trying with your skills.
