4 I am sure one of the battle field guys has a few raid vids on u tube too, they a great to watch as well.

Not a problem buddy.

What do you mean? Was I spamming "Is that the best you can do?" Don't take the in-game messages personally. Nobody is really angry with you or anything, just trying to put some fire under your butt.

Nope, nothing is sped up. I just have a decent computer system and internet connection, and I've been playing this game for 13 years or so now. As you play more and more your instincts will develop and you'll just do things like that fluidly and naturally. You're only as fast as you let yourself become.

Keep playing man, it's good to see new people enjoying the game.

Yup, you landed next to me I hit you. You hit me with the, is that the best you can do :bowrofl:

. I actually didn't notice it in the game. my hand was shacking so much trying to grip my mouse, while I was looking for my next can of fuel. It wasn't until I watched your vid that I noticed it

.
Thanks again for taking the time to contribute with some many vids , it's really going to help a lot of people.

BF-2 9/1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQhzA8h-wfQ

Difficulty- 6
4v1 or 5v1 for the most part. The quality of raiders were very good with 3 AOW members and then a couple of other colours. There was however a shit ton of fuel on the screen from your POV in that area.

Take- 7
Was a good take imo. I counted 3-4 instances were you got within a couple of duals away from death. You shot a lot of duals yourself and stayed within a small area of the map. You messed up a few times going for small fuels though.

Awww, thanks man. That's the goal here. Hopefully we can all learn from eachother.

Again, nothing personal. We usually say that when the raidee is marathoning, which means when you're running more than you should. For example firing one shot, and then teleporting two or three times.

The most general rule of thumb for taking a successful raid, is fire as many shots as you can before you teleport. Also generally speaking, try not to teleport too far from the raid in one turn.

Not a big deal, it's a big learning curve, and it's really hard to take good raids when you have 6 or 7 veterans hound dogging you every second of the way.

I'd say panic is also my biggest nemesis as far as taking goes. Try not to overthink it. Calm down a little bit. Try to just let it flow, and come to you naturally. You're doing a good job, keep it up buddy.

started filming when Hot Rod was calling on himself

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqhsX03oA_g

-00:20 is when the Hot Rod Raid Starts
I started pretty rusty

-2:50 when some action on Sarah Kerrigan starts. (sean)
I went to fill when he shot singles, and he died a min or two later.

-8:32 Hot Rod takes another raid.

-around 16:00 blues started to attack me and continued for about 10 mins with a couple reds for a small 3-6 man raid.

-starting 26:00 was a ffa against blues divine was a targ and took.

-at 31:30 Sarah Kerrigan takes a raid after divine.

-38:30 Samir Duran takes a raid

Perhaps if a lot of people start recording themselves we can turn this into a section instead of a thread. I think it will work better if each video has it's own thread. Then we can have votes for best take of the week or something fun.

If anyone is interested, for recording I used Hypercam 2. It's free and doesn't slow my computer down when I play. The only problem is that the recording size is huge. Like a 10 minute video is about 1-2gb. However I edit and convert it through Microsoft Movie Maker (you should have this if you have windows). And the size drops to about 15-20mb lmao.

Anyways, here are 4 takes I recorded. Personally, I like to give 2 ratings, difficulty (how many on you, how well they stay on target, amount of fuel around, etc.) and take (how many shots are you firing per screen, how many times did you get close to death, how long you lasted, etc). But any form of rating or comments, good or bad is welcome!

I'll just rate yours @16' mark
Difficulty: 3
Mostly was a 3-4v1 and looked unorganized. Started in a dry area and moved to a wet area/
Take: 8.5
Shot a shit ton of shots and survived. Pretty much stayed in the same area of the map. Was really efficient with your armours and was able to pick up a bunch of equipment also. Only a couple of mistakes with missing fuel. Could have made it more impressive if you got low a few more times when there were 3 or you or so, but overall very good.

Difficulty: 7
5v1 for the most part. All aow and good raiders. Field didn't look too bad.
Take: 5
You had a hand full of mistakes with missing teles and going to ghost fuel before radaring (also Warrior owned you at ~2:47). You shot when you could, but you started to tele a little further once the armours were gone.

pretty cool but I can only pay attention to one at a time lol

Difficulty: 8
4-6v1 all purple. It looks somewhat organized. Field is not radared for you for the most part.
Take: 9.5
Wow that really impressive. You got crazy low, 1-2 shot from death, a few times. Only a couple of mistakes of getting the wrong fuel. You shot even when you were only half full after a tele, which almost no one does including myself. And I was on my seat at ~4:36 mark, boy you radared just in time lol. That was really fun to watch overall, GJ Kirby!

by **megaGOD** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 11:10 pm

Hmm seems I have misinformed myself, need to raise the frames/sec instead of lowering it when I record. Now it looks like legit sh lmao.

Anyways, here's a fail attempt at a take just now. Couldnt get the shields on in time at the end

Not compatible with mac :facepalm:

I have a screen recorder that comes on this with quicktime but it just lags the shit out of me. Dont know of any exterior software with macs but im sure itd be the same result. Not a gaming computer by anymeans really.

Not going to rate it because I don't feel like numbers do it justice but that was a fun take to watch. Definitely benefited at the beginning from the random red that was filling near you but used that to your advantage and got off some extra shots. Got really low and did a good job in the 5v1 for sure. Fun to watch.

Take 1
Difficulty: 2
3v1? with some help from the blues. Only thing that couldve made it easier if there were more fuel
Take: 5
tbh, I'm not watch the entire 9 mins of 3v1! But it looks ok, couldve def gotten lower in a 3v1 doe.

Take 2
Difficulty: 2
same as take 1
Take: 4
Major fuck up at ~5:36 mark picking up the equip instead of going for fuel. You were gettin way lower doe, but you keep tryin to grab equip when you need fuel lol.

Take 3
Difficulty: 2.5
got an extra guy in there once in a while
Take: 6
Less fucking up, but still some missed teles and running into mines

Take 4
Difficulty: 6
finally a legit raid! got 4 on you and looks like they were able to stay on target. Map also looks dry
Take: 8
Got mad low on multiple occasions. Few fuck ups. I woulda liked to see more shooting instead of pickin up equip sometimes, but it's not bad. Best take of your night
