New video, I haven't had that many video worthy rounds lately and the one that was any good (Fallujah West on TG last night) I foolishly didn't record.

Anyway this is basically a few clips of Yamalia, running Chinook supply drops, operating an LAV-3 and finally observing a multi-squad infantry assault with mortar support.

Being able to RTB a tracked apc was just too good to be true

Ah yes, that was a great round! Me and Sneaky were crewing various MT-LBs and occasionally a BTR on the Russian side there, ferrying around infantry. It was a close victory in the end with the Russian team down to defending the last flag and only 10 tickets left!

Think I spiked your squad leader with a PKM when you flew over in the Chinooks. Was tempted to shoot at you but you were in such a pretty formation I chose not to

Second APC killed was ours. Was healing from a previous encounter by a LAT or something. Was getting some of your infantry with my PKM in that area until you rolled in They were trying to get the downed HAT kit to shoot the limping APC but were having a little hard time. Cool checking out other views of battles.

Video from last night on the Merk server, Muttrah City. Had a lot of fun in this round although some of my clanmates didn't seem to enjoy it so much. We managed to neutralise East City only for the rest of our team to lose North City and it was back and forth from there, we actually lost Docks at one point and ended up winning by just 16 tickets.

Enjoy.

Very interesting seeing the round from your view point jiggy! Especially the bit near the beginning where I died on the stairs, I believe someone behind me shot me, not the guy on the stairs

I think jiggy is using hacks. Look at his KDR man... Must be hacks

Similar video, there is a lot of team wide teamwork in this video as the USMC blitz our way down to South City within a few minutes of the round starting. Lots of mumble use and some cool firefights along the way.

You missed out the part where we all died due to that one MEC with a shotgun

And when I ran back to you with a medic kit but got killed anyway

fun round overall, we won shortly after you left.

Was gazz recording too?

Also, if you could write small text boxes in the movie, about how you think as a SL. Like gazz did in the assault on the cache on karbala. Might get people to learn from this.

I wasn't recording either of those bits

oh that was the round when mec got pwnerized.. little or no teamwork at all..

hope my mortars annoyed you enough atleast

Alex - where have you placed your mortars? I've searched for them for some time, but in the end we haven't stumbled on them and didn't want get too close to MEC main. Was it near castle?

Good videoing but... if you want some critics. TBH this video is far worse than previous (which I enjoyed the most from most of videos on this forums). Good shooting, but when I watched it and was "oh now it will start to be exciting"... it was cut off. It reminds me of that attack choppa videos of ppl with just leet actions. It's too much pumped with actions without any calm moments so it's getting pretty boring fast after same action pumped stuff all the time. I watched it whole only because I played that round.

If he had recorded all of it there wouden't much more exciting. Pritty much the first half of the round was wandering around a Ghosttown with the odd enemy appearing from nowhere.

Yeah, I'm aware that round was specific as MEC team really failed at beginning. And by really I mean really, really. I just wanted go give sincere feedback, it may be helpful or just ignored.

So you want more periods where I'm just not doing anything/there is nothing going on?

Not exactly. Well I'm basically saying that like in movies you have some time of slow paced action. It's should be like in books, movies, etc. 20 min is almost like one episode. Frag vids with just action, action, action are not appealing, but it may be just me or it's because they are so damn common on this forums.

I agree with AnimalMother from very beginning of this topic:

Animal.Mother wrote:much prefer to watch gameplay videos then frag vids, much more interesting imo, especially when you get two perspectives of the same assault etc

I find this video only: enemy spotted, shooting, enemy spotted, shooting. No tactics, no moving, no showing pr other aspects. Don't get me wrong, most of rest of your videos (which I watched, I think I didn't see all of them) are good.

Chasing rabbit is sometimes more exciting than catching it, so when you wait for action and it suddenly strikes like your firefights, then it's quite amazing to watch. Like you short choppa video when gunning. Trying to recognize if friendly or not and communicating in "military manner" with pilot made me feel immersion and I thought "wow PR is great". I've already written too much than I wanted on single video tho, so I'll cease with spam.

I'll just sneak in you post from this topic to show my point about balance (bolded by me):

'[R-MOD wrote:Jigsaw;1514926']Cheers for the comments lads.

I think it's partly because it's a chopper gunner video that there is a little bit of waiting, believe me there was a lot more that got cut out so I guess it's about striking a good balance between showing kills and showing the time it takes to get them.

Yeah, it was quite near both the castle and the main. It was in the building below the castle. Close enough for the JDAM to destroy everything I placed them there because i saw instantly that we were getting owned.

Lol, very true I suppose I should take my own advice

Problem I've been finding is that I'd like to keep the length down to around the 20 minute mark if possible which means cutting away a lot of the parts where there isn't anything going on but then when you've got a whole round of footage it means most of what is left is action.

Will try and work on a better balance though, got a Beirut video coming which will hopefully be more of what you described, very intense round with lots of teamwork but I didn't get many kills myself.

i recorded about half of it, mainly me owning with the m14. will post at some point.
