my 8v8 scouting plays of the week: 13th-17th Oct 2008

i was worried this might never happen, but i've finally got around to making my first FF avi: the imaginatively titled..

"my 8v8 scouting plays of the week: 13th-17th Oct 2008"

download full quality version (280MB - i figured what the hell why not lol..).
stream shit quality version on youtube (click "watch in high quality" at the bottom right of the video).

a few things:
- sorry the movement in the video is all ghey and stuttery: sadly my FF demo playback is screwed up and very choppy for some reason, and what you see is the best i could get it after doing all the tricks there are to make it smoother..

- all clips are from 8v8 matches against a full 4 player (sometimes 5 player) defence (i.e. no lame 2/3 man defs on maps that desparately need more..).
- i've only used clips vs players i consider to be decent defenders (i could look up specific names if you wanna mock lol).
- this is definitely not an "pmg dats mah best moves eva!!1011skill" avi.. it's just a collection of fairly decent 8v8 scouting plays from last week (that's right, the title is no coincidence lol), all along the lines of what i expect to do every time i play FF. i probably actually spent more time this week getting the demos to avi than i spent playing FF and recording the demos last week :/
- video editing is intentionally very minimal and to the point, so if you don't like it go eat cake.
- my objectives were to: 1) make a basic avi that gets across what it's like to play scout decently in FF, cos we need that kinda thing badly for all classes imo; 2) see if i could sufficiently overcome the screwed up and choppy FF demo playback to make it worthwhile me making another, much better, avi (but this time with some awesome "best of" moves and sweet skills).. tbh i don't think i've managed to get it smooth enough, but i guess feedback from you guys will make that clear soon enough.

anyway, hope ppl enjoy it

oh fuck i cant wait to see this.

DLing now (normally i stream, but usually a caes vid is worth the DL

)

EDIT: well my DL was taking too long, so i ended up watching the stream anyway, and i gotta say that was excellent. i felt bad for that demo on 2mesa

damn good plays, caes

also, what song was that?

I've known Caesium since tfc and hes a very clever player. His strategies for stow are most appreciated (lol). Ace guy to clan with and an excellent scout on TFC and FF, the avi was just designed to show some typical runs which it does so very well

HES A BEAST!!11!!11
