He's at the frontpage of Twitch at the moment, so that's where the boost came from. Still awesome to see how far he has come.
Halo: General Discussion
HwnT is prob the most 'famous' montage kid around now a days. So insane how fast he blew up with his Minecraft stuff.
https://www.youtube.com/user/mlgHwnT < 667k subscribers. Works for/with/at Philip DeFranco's youtube company now. Doesn't do Minecraft anymore, just a 'personality'.
I don't fucking know what Zola did to it, but he uploaded it himself just now. I asked for a download to go along with it.
edit: And he's going to when he hits 6k subs. A little over a hundred more to go, so for anyone interested, check out the tutorial series he has been doing for the past month (?) or so, and help sharing it by liking (and of course subscribing if you haven't already). I think this is something everyone wants to get a hold of and keep backed up on their hard disk for all of eternity.
I was disappointed because I expected too much but it was still really good. He got a lot of great clips but he didn't use everything because he didn't want to drag the montage out and the clips he left out didn't fit with the song. A lot of the clips in Legacy just fit right in and sync well which is probably how he chose them. I know for a fact he left out some amazing clips and you see some of them in scrapped renders like Rage's 180 noscope into a noscope jumping tac exterm. He didn't use my 3v3 noscope over into tac meh :(
I think his vision ran deeper than simply using the very best gameplay he was offered. There are so many tiny details that make sure that every clip fits exactly where he put them, and the way he pulls off his transitions between clips shows that especially well. I'm not going to go into detail and point out why everything he did was brilliant, but if you look closely for yourself you should be able to catch things that you might just gloss over in a single watch. The lower end clips also help put more emphasis on the higher end clips, so that's something to point out too.
This is the players legacy for Halo 3, but more than that, it's Zola's legacy. The editing is slightly more important than the gameplay, and that's how it should be.
I definitely remember shitting on Legacy's gameplay when it came out, but I was a little shit then who shat on everything. Definitely when I watch now you can tell how perfect each clip was and such. Believe I read exactly what Marksman is saying from Zola himself. He had so many clips submitted that he could literally pick clips that were the perfect length/map/time between kills/how the spartan moved and such.
Beach Lan 5 (Halo CE) is going on right now. August 6-13. Here's a link to the live stream:
