: You'll definitely have to watch it multiple times. Enjoy!

There's something about this montage that gives me the unique experience of being equally annoyed and impressed. I feel the montage devoted too much of itself to cheap tricks and annoying tactics. for example, he had a section where he exclusively showed him anticipating spawns and sticking guys. This is the kind of thing that would make me stop playing online multiplayer, random godmen who've devoted so much time to the game they see it more as strings of code than actual game. However, later in the video when he started to focus on more of his sniping prowess which reached a climax where he grenade jumped to the top of Damnation only to use an overshield to get to the very bottom for one final kill. It's these moments that if I was on the enemy team I'd be more worried about picking up my jaw from around my kneecaps than the fact I'm losing, in comparison the spawn sticks would only see me picking my controller out of my TV. All in all he ended the montage highlighting his sniper skills which left it with a nice taste in my mouth, but that doesn't mean I didn't forget the bitter flavor it gave me in the beginning. I would have liked to see more long clips like his damnation jump, but that's just my personal preference. At the end of the day it was a good montage it just hit some buttons it hadn't intended to.
