welcome to 411 btw bowflexin.
This forum isnt as interested in frag vids as L4Dnao but there are a few who will appreciate it :3
Nuttz

Very good, only criticism is that a few of the 'boom' (for want of a better word) effects were a bit over-the-top, slightly disorientating.

The only thing I don't like about frag video is that it is supposedly "pro" games, but they are doing all of the same things that happen in pub games every day. Anyone could have made the exact same video is basically what I'm saying... and I agree with Nuttz about the effects too.

pub games
It isnt pub games tho. Its against top teams. I do agree for a frag video there wasnt exactly much WOAW footage it was basic but its still very impressive when you know who the other teams prob were

Welcome to the forums BOWFLEXIN.
Yeah, basic footage, but you have to keep in mind this is against top tier teams, people who eat and then shit out pubs for breakfast.
BlackCat

I'm not talking about pubstomp games.. I'm talking about evenly matched teams of randoms. If they are top teams then why does it all look the same as pub games? That is basically what I'm saying. It should make me say "WOW, impressive!" instead of "seen it, done it, meh."

Nice editing and some nice scenes, but some scenes look like played against pubs! For example those insta-kills, I mean players who know where those places are where the charger can charge them through a window normaly take care that you can't use those spots! And in this frag video they are just standing right in front of it!
Or the tank scene, lol most of the survivors didn't even move when the tank threw the rock even though they looked in the right direction! It just looks like "yeah hit me"!
DTard

Being one of the most well know frag video editors on these forums I figure I might bring in my opinion in on this.
The editing at times was very well done, but like the others have said here, the "boom" effect kinda made me sick, and I had to watch it 5-7 times over just to see what the fuck happened. When you have to watch something twice, you're fine. 5-7 times is bad. The footage itself is superb.... If it really is top tier teams. Which I doubt. Top tier teams don't leave themselves open like they did in the video. That's a major flaw in this video. They're not watching for anything, and they just... y'know... die? Based on editing alone, I'd give this a 8/10. But with the whole package, clips and all, 6/10. Loved most of the editing, but the actual footage itself leaves something to be desired.
Zombie Hunter
04-03-2010, 03:53 PM
Everyone who is bashing this for content and saying "The survivors are leaving themselves open", you need to think what survivor was doing there. Getting death charged for example, they were prob blocking spawn or being frag horny and trying to bonk the charger then failed. Doing that is how a lot of people get good footage for frag videos. Look at most of his woaw footage, it is when he is leaving himself open and being stupid but confident. Its the cycle.
Play a top team and you will understand

this is the part where they stop being pro!
I mean you can try to bonk the chagrer or just make two steps and avoid them! pro teams, don't try to be cool, they just do what they need to do to win!

when its a friendly scrim or pcw or whatever EVERYONE tries to bonk the charger, skeet the hunter and juke the tank.

Appearances are everything (it's a video FFS), and this appears to be pub footage. Whether it actually is or not matters -zero- unless it is a video about "pro" players playing like pubs... in which case, mission accomplished.

04-07-2010, 01:46 PM
LOL?
Some of you guys are clueless, sorry to say. NONE of the footage is pub, ZERO. It even says it in the info box, ALL FOOTAGE FROM TEAM VS AND SCRIMS. So im not sure why some of you are being ignorant. Some of the players yes are probably average at best, but better than your normal pubbie. Then most of the footage are decent players and some good teams such as blight.rage, sector7 and TSW. This is a video not from pubs and you think its a pub, you make a video of your pubstomps and see what people say. Thanks for the kind words, I dont like to be a dick, but forgive me.
Hey funksta! I miss you kind sir!

It's all over.
Youtube and Wegame.
I haven't done anything recently, and most of mine I admit isn't that great. And it's all L4D1.
I'm not saying you suck, I know you're good, but the footage in and of itself seems... lacking.
EDIT:
Essentially, when I watch a "pro" video, I don't expect any instant kills, quad caps, or high damage pounces because the people playing know how to counter those. Unless of course most of this is friendly scrimming/all friends. In which case, those things are more likely because the game itself is much more relaxed.

Oh, by all means, it's good footage. Just not what I would expect for the level of players it is of. As I said, charger instant kills just aren't something I expect to see in a pro game. But again, they're likely in a friendly game. In a full scrim, I would expect some good hits and whatnot, just nothing too drastic.

Well i was told by a selected few on steam to not worry about this, but i just cant understand to be told by You guys what is pro and what isnt. Because you guys said most of you dont know or play comp. Then to say who cares what those guys ("pro" players) think....well they obviously know a thing or two about the competitive L4D scene :/

This for me too.
Also, I'm being very fair And reasonable. I trust you in what you say that this is all pro. But seriously, think about it. When you think of super pro playing, do you think about one of the supposed pro players getting insta-killed? I know I don't, which is why it initially comes across as not pro. But everyone has a bad day so I'm not fighting whether or not it's pro.

You guys know this is the same game you play right? Pub players play the same game as players who play competition. Same choke points, same maps. What you dont is that you have to set these up with teamwork, not something you do in pubs. Ignorance is bliss. I saw some of the videos you guys made, now thats true pub footage - 3 pounces to get to a survivor 4 feet away on a public server looks exactly like the footage in my video. :rolleyes:

Perhaps you should explain what "par" footage is.
We already know that you don't want any instant kills, pounces landing, or quad caps.
So, like, you want a bunch of clips of mediocre hits? I'm not sure that goes in a frag video.
In a good match with even teams, the rounds are decided by single attacks where you catch the other team off guard. When you see a death charge in Bowflexin's video, he doesn't get it because the survivor is an idiot who walked in front of him, he gets it because his teammates set it up or he managed to find a death charge that they wouldn't expect. Even "pro teams" can't counter a charger running smacking into them from point blank. Sorry.
If you guys really just cared about "what the footage looks like" you'd be satisfied with the video. It's death charges, damage pounces, and multicaps, and it's edited damn well. Instead, you're just taking it as an opportunity to talk shit on competitive play.
OTOH I have no idea why bowflexin' even bothered posting it here. :P

Sorry, it was my understanding that the whole video was DTard's making. Or did you mean that we're supposed to ignore the fact that someone was AFK on the team and just watch the pounce that guy managed to land after flailing around?

Pretty sure the internet isn't supposed to be a land devoid of humanity, though. I'll continue to stay here.

That clip was from Marks POV, and I wasn't even in that game. Yes, there was an AFK guy, yes it was fail, and yes, that was a shitty vid. It happens to be my second worst video, falling right next to my first video, AOTD on the Rampage.
The Rebirth and Sparkrdom are better, but by no means are they pro, nor have I once said I was the best video editor ever or that I was a pro player. I said I was one of the best known on 411. Me and Mark are the major native 411 editors. We both started here.
I'm sorry you got dragged into Bowflex's inability to take a second, breathe, and understand our point of view.

You know you directed your comment at Dtard, saying that it was Dtard pouncing afk people in safe rooms. Don't try to cover it up by being snarky, kid.
You know you misunderstood my post. Don't try to cover it up by being snarky, kid.
I was talking about footage. I would never put a clip with AFK players in a frag video. It's just unprofessional. It goes along with the general rule of only posting clips of good games. There's nothing special about the attacks, it's more the fact that you manage to land them on people who are aware and able to try to stop them.
Edit: And DTard, I was referring more to the blatant derailing, which I consider "trolling." Regardless of the caliber of your videos (pub footage has a place, too), you still railed on Bowflexin's videos pretty hard with little basis. That his attacks shouldn't have landed on good teams, that his footage was "sub par," and that there is "pub footage" which is just as good. The pub footage we've seen so far from your vids doesn't seem to be the same thing to me.

And I agree with you. From The Ashes was a very rushed video, very bad overall. I hate it. I really do. Go watch Sparkrdom for a much better overall video. But again, it's NOT the best. I admit that. And I accept criticism. I have no ill will towards Bowflex, I'm sure he's a great guy, but he needs to realize, you can't satisfy everyone.

You know exactly what you meant, and you're still covering it up. But it's ok, you'll never admit it so let's move on.
People learn through progress, so why dig up an old video and talk shit about it? Dtard took criticism for his videos in the past and moved on from there, he never cried about it or acted like a baby and brought his friends in to be like "nuh uh you gais!".
BOW could have taken the opportunity to be mature and say "OK, I see what you mean but here's how I see it.." but he didn't, he decided to get defensive and make himself look like an ass and quite honestly you are not helping at all.

Sorry Mark, it wasn't meant to be directed at you like that, I still <3 you!
Aww, thank you dearest.
Y'see, this is what I like to see. People making up and understanding one another.
Edit: Wow I spoke too soon.

Please, reread my posts. I never once said they WERE pub footage. I said it LOOKED like it. I'll say this for the 3rd time. You don't expect to see what appears to be a very easy insta-kill. Yeah, I'm sure the guy was distracted, but from the short seconds you see it, it LOOKS like it was some fail player being an idiot that got taken out. I don't want you guys to think that I was saying Bowflex is a liar, or anything, just that from a heavy critic for any kind of media, I get pretty tough on things.
I apologize if it seemed like I was bashing, but without some tough love, NOBODY will improve.

And yet you can't make up with the people who made you ragequit the internet? :(
I make playful jests <33

You might want to explain how he was supposed to take your criticism constructively. I've been asking what he should have done in the video instead, and none of you have answered. There's no "constructive" in your criticism.

I wanted to thank you for being civil in your previous post (the one before this quoted one).
Again, you guys misunderstand me. I didn't say you called it pub footage--you said it looked like pub footage. That means to me that there exists some pub footage with hits which are just as good as the hits in his video.

I'm not an uncivil person. I just don't like feeling personally targeted when there were at least 2 other people saying the EXACT thing I was.
And yes, I've seen pubhero videos in the past (not L4D2 as far as I know) where there have been really good hits. And they looked pro, but when I read the description it was pubhero. Don't ask me for a link, it was 4 or 5 months ago and I 1 star'ed it and never saw anything of it again.
EDIT: I also wanted to thank you for being much more coolheaded and civil as compared to BOW.

Damn so much anger on here. Fo me it still looks like pub, if it isn't pub-footage then I'm wrong but who cares? I just posted my opinion. And I don't know why it's always about DTard's videos, you don't need to make (pro) videos to judge videos of others!
Also if you can't accept others opinions then you shouldn't ask for it!

This.
I never ONCE claimed that I was Mr. PRO-VIDEO-EDITOR-MAN.
Not once.
But at this point, I think the matter is settled.

I have no ill will towards Bowflex
I will for you. It seems he and his friends are total douchebags.
I'll take an infraction, I don't care.
It's not like I haven't seen others like you before. You ask for criticism and then when any at all is presented you get all pissy and call everyone a troll. DTard never said that his videos were the best, he just said that he also made frag videos. You don't have to go searching them out and evaluating them like evidence in a crime.
Piss off.
