(camera angles) - Demo smooth.

You cant really take different camera angles with just .dem unless its a source tv. dem but yea it would be cool.

 

[Duality]

You can take different angles with a regular .dem, its called smoothing. But many games dont support such options, just source games.

Unfortunately BC2 can only take straight video.

I repeat, demo smooth

Sigh, of course Frisky would win

He's almost too good >.>

 

[? Frisky Dingo ?]

t's not really the Media Team's fault, they just didn't get better clips. ;P

I wont bash on this comment, I will just say that people who usually criticize on how good someone is are those who lack skill. If you have better clips, feel free to post them and let others see your skill, but don't knock those who send stuff in. I liked the vid and sure it could use minor tweaks and as for my soldier clip, I had no medic and my kill streak was 15 most kills without a medic is 24, but i believe but most was cut due what I assume was to much footage. Most people want to see air shots and stair stabs ect, but truth is there's probably not that many in eGO who can pull those off. So we work with what we have and they did a good job doing that imo.

As an add-on to Frisky's ---

Basically, the Media Team did the best with what they received. If you want better clips, send them in yourself or convince others to record and send them in. Complaining that you want to see cooler looking clips doesn't really want to solve anything. These clips are never going to be as good as the pro clips you see because this is a public gaming community, not clips from CPL Finals.

Oh, I have nothing against Frisky, he's a great player with an obscene amount of still D:, with an amazing killsteak in the video :wow:

Good job to Frisky! **Nothing against him **

You are correct. Kudos to Josh for depriving himself of sleep to get this done.

[Full Grizzly]

Baon or Boan, you rule at sniping in DoD:S!

Oh and about the #1 frag, what items was the soldier using? thanks.

I know he/she had the Rocket Launcher. but what else? Shovel? Equalizer? Shotgun? Thanks!

 

[joshcash]

You would have to ask Frisky Dingo I'm sure he would tell you he helped me with a load out one time.

 

[Gremlin]

eGO video

[Dark_Fife]

Some thoughts:

1) Don't scroll the name. It's a bit hard to read for some people (mainly me) with all the stuff going on the screen, it's just one more graphic to track.
2) Make the name bigger. It's their frag!
3) Post the division along with the video. Maybe everyone knows all our games by heart, but I don't. I'm thinking like those video clips of college basketball games on the news where the transition includes the logo of the team?
4) When fast forwarding, put some kind of interactive graphic on the screen. Blinking fast forward arrows ( >> ), tape static like a VHS tape... I got disoriented every time it happened because the transition from "normal" to "fast forward" was jarring.
5) When showing off strings of kills, put up a hud counter to go along with it. Maybe a bell ding for every one. Just to make it that much cooler.
6) I know it's Top 5 Frags, but maybe add something else. A "Top Fail" or a "Blooper." I mainly add this so I can put in an entry. This slot would be for that video submitted of the very obvious spy in TF2 failing to kill anyone, or a spy decloaking in front of a sentry gun, or a CT throwing a flashbang into his own face. Everyone can be a pro fragger, but failing with style?
7) During transitions, advertise the server it was taken on. =(eGO)= 24/7 Turbine! as part of the transition would tie in the advertising aspect a bit tighter.
8) I actually didn't mind the music, just don't pick some crappy CD single and slap it on the sound track. Something active, but out of the way, so the video takes center stage.\
9) In each post, you should advertise how to submit videos for the next frag video. So that somebody who just finished watching these frags, with a video on their HD, can turn right around and toss their hat into the ring.

I'm, personally, not against the "string 'o frags" format. In some games, especially TF2, where anyone can get a lucky crit, the impressiveness is the guy blowing up 22 people in a row, or sapping the entire intel room themselves, or breaking up an uber charge with nothing but a sniper rifle.
