SOCOM IS NOT DEAD! (HD Montage Inside)

[LUKENBACHER]

Contrary to what a few SOCOM fans out there are saying, SOCOM is not dead......not yet.

There are talks of a boycott movement headed our way, and I don't support it one bit. There was a time in place where I had hoped the ENTIRE fanbase could reunite, and be one voice.....including praise & skepticism alike.

But lines have been drawn that I will not cross, and I have no choice but to separate myself from these "movements".
Most of our staff seem to agree.

I'm not here to "wage war" on any specific individuals out there, but this madness is getting out of control.

I can not tell you that SOCOM 4 will be epic, and at the same time, no one out there can say for sure that it will fail.

The truth is somewhere in the middle. Where do you stand?
Will you make up your own mind, or trust someone else?


This one is dedicated to those out there who have lost their hope...







Be sure to click 720p in the player options to view this video the way I intended. And also keep watching until the end to view some afterthoughts about SOCOM 4. As always, thanks for watching and I greatly appreciate your support!

Thanks for the support guys. I would hope if my vids sucked that you guys would be the first to tell me.

Yea dude definitely every chance I get to hate on you I take it...



lol.

Actually due after watching it again cut the times before and after the kill. Speed up the game a bit when you are just running somewhere... to like 150% imo.

Get out some notes and go watch my montages.

I really like the quality on that vid. You should make some more Socom videos, possibly themed.

Yea, I just figured out how to zoom in & out, and how to speed things up or go slow-mo the day after I did that vid.

I honestly logged into Con. Monday night. The room my clan in was full, so I jumped into a quick match and fired up the HD PVR not really expecting anything.
First match of the night I threw down 19-4, logged off, and started editing. I finished the rest of the editing the next day after work and had it uploaded to YouTube in less than 24 hours.

Not bad for only having the equipment & software for 2-3 weeks. The videos will get better with more practice and experience. You can bet by the time SOCOM 4 comes out, I'll be ready to launch some epic vids. That is, if I don't stink at the game!

You can always record me playing.

No offense, but I am really growing tired of SOCOM montages that are 20 maps all bulked together in one video. People crop out the best kills, and string them all together.

There's something to be said about showing a spectacular online gaming session in it's entirety. I've seen people post 7 & 8 kill rounds and crop it so much, you are left questioning if the actual footage you are watching is legit.

I like showing as much of the complete gameplay as possible, not just "highlights" of 3-5 sec clips that get old after about 2 minutes.


And I pride myself on "syncing" up action scenes to music. Almost all of my vids take some creative editing for the video to match dynamics in the music.

We just have different styles Carlos. If after a couple of months, I have 100+ gigs of SOCOM footage, I'll use your approach to show all the best kills.

But for now, I want to prove that I can login for 10 minutes at any given time and play like a beast on all types of games. Or take an "informative" approach, or even both!

That long ass reply makes no sense to my statement... lol I guess you saw my vids?

I can see where you are coming from with that style of montage though. I see both styles around a lot and they are just different...

I watched most of your vids a long time ago. You gave the staff links from a Skype convo from way back when we first started the site. And, this was just an afterthought...I already replied to your other post so I used the next one.

You should get an HD PVR and show me up.
