    Guardian is win, nice pick. Plenty of no scopes and a decent amount of standard slayer to fluff out the montage with some nice BR work too. A couple of things though, third person clips really kill the immersion. Since it was only one clip, right at the beginning, I'm guessing you had no choice and couldn't get the first person version, but I think sticking to first person unless the kill warrants it (a random nade kill or something) is the safest bet. Also the reticles are missing on most clips (I wasn't looking for the reticle on all clips so I don't know if it was all of them) and the reticle really helps. Pausing the clip as soon as it starts, quickly switching from first person to third, then back to first, brings the reticle back in clips. Doing this before you record the clip means you always have the reticle, and this helps clips immensely imo. One more suggestion would be to have a little bit more editing involved. I get that you're not going for the heavily edited style, and in many ways this is to your credit since it's always possible to see what is going on easily. But a little bit of slow motion at the end of some of the more dramatic clips could help imo, it emphasises the last kill in a multi nicely and acts as a nice transition in to the next clip.

    Those are all suggestions, and overall I like the finished product you have. I'd personally go for more MM clip heavy montages, but I can see that you're going for something slightly different here, so I think your choices are solid, especially since it's soley Guardian so there are obviously going to have to be some custom clips in there, the only downside to this here is that some of the guys the clips were against clearly couldn't even AR very well, let alone even take out their BR.

    But still, all that said, I do like it, nice piece and very entertaining.

    First of all I thought the clip was great, but the capture quality seemed lower this time around.

    Whenever you post the videos tell us which map you plan on doing next so we can submit some.

    And wow MLG Pope ,owned talk about playing under pressure!

    pope FTW lol but anyways the only things id change in this montage is adding small trasitions even a simple short fade out in would help the flow, also i would have prefered it to have the aimer like pegasi delta said pause the clip got to 3rd person then back to first and you should have the aimer

    Yes, I strongly agree with Pegasi Delta. The enemy guys were terrible. Especially at that perfection, the dude was like 5 ft from the other dude and he through the sticky about 5 ft. to the right of the other dude. lol

    Otherwise, this was really really cool. I think the music you chose was good, reminded me of that boom shakalaka song in dumb and dumber.
