You can also go to www.gamevee.com and use their feature called "Grab" where you put the clip on your H3 File Share and then a person will go onto your account and capture the clip for you. This is decent just for showing some quick stuff, but there is usually no reticule and a time bar so it isn't something you would use for a whole video.

ah, haven't read this thread in a while. so i'll give an update on how i'm doing in halo 3.
i recently purchased a 22 inch lcd tv (the size used in actual mlg) because i need a tv for college. also, i'm into mlg more than i ever was into pokemon, so this was really a purchase for the sake of having the same size tv as mlg.
needless to say, i've been godawful on it. despite what you might hear, going from an analog 38+ inch tv to this one is completely different. some of you guys might remember seph, well he's into this game more than myself and even plans on placing top 32 at meadowlands. anyway, when i was a 45 in mlg before this purchase, adam said that i had a pretty ridiculous sniper for an mlg 45. even though i've been playing on this tv for two months, my br/sniper is pretty poopy. it's incredibly different with the small lag inherent with hd tvs. i'm a 40 in mlg now, it's pretty pathetic.
ranting aside, i absolutely love this game and cannot wait until i become even better at it. the best part is that there is always improving. rekt, what is your gamertag? and i'd assume you're high 40s in mlg?

Roy: Rekt's GT is "Wombattttttttt" and his current MLG rank is 45.
Now on to the real reason I posted, do you want to play some MLG with me now that you're closer to my rank (currently 32 ._.)? (directed at Roy) I could use a good teammate and it would help you get used to your new TV against lesser opponents. In the past I was always much worse than you but now I think I could be of some use. If you don't want to that's fine but I really enjoy playing Halo as well and it is frustrating sometimes when I lose a lot of games in a row. Skill aside, it would also be more fun to play with someone I know than with some randys.

I used to be quite active in the competitive scene, but now I'm more interested in the storyline for ALL of the Halo's.
Yeah, that'd be great. I just want to play the game and have fun, and it's pretty hard for me to get customs together with people anywhere even close to my skill level (most of the people on my list are people I know in RL, so they are either way better or way worse than me).
Jeez, top 32? That'll be pretty damn hard. Hope he gets there.
I see Smogon has some pretty good Halo players. I don't play the playlist at all (MLG that is) but I play MLG customs with my buddies when I can. I wouldn't mind playing with some of you guys. I'm a 45 in TS (don't play ranked games that much, <400 ranked games).
GT is IxYoursTrulyxI. Those are i's.
Well, good luck. I really want to attend an event (probably just to watch, unless I start playing a lot more and get significantly better) at some point, but last year they were all very far away from where I live. If there was one in Chicago again this year that would be pretty sweet, but I doubt it because the second event is Colombus (which they will probably consider their "midwest" event this year). On the off chance that there is an event that I can attend this year and you guys happened to be in need of a coach (as most open teams don't have one afaik), I would be willing to volunteer my service as one for you.
Just had a LAN with about 20 teams. We went as a TO4 only playing 1 game of MLG together, and we got 5/6 place. We lost to MudVayne, Assault, Wonshot, and Prolific, all of whom are either pro or semi pro. We lost by 7 on Pit TS and then got 3-0ed on Narrows Flag, but we didnt even get dominated, we just couldn't make any pushes.
Nice job, it sounds like you guys have some potential. You did very well against a team of semi-pros, which would indicate that with more practice you would have a good shot of making it out of open. Like I said before, if I can make any events this year and you guys are in need of a coach I would be plenty willing.
orbital is fucking awful, just a typical halo 3 team slayer map
assembly flag could be alright for mlg purposes, but i personally dislike all of the little hidden crevices everywhere to fall/hide
sandbox has the most potential, obviously. they did well with onslaught flag (but pretty horrible with amp imo) so we'll see what happens.
also, i ditched the 22 lcd i bought because i just could not get used to it, even after 2 months of using it. back on the old tube tv feeling great with a solid ~45 in mlg.

I bought a 22" LCD monitor partly for using as an external monitor for my laptop and partly for playing Xbox on. I think it's great for playing on, and I can't notice the lag at all. Then again, I gave up on Halo 3 and mostly just play CoD 4 which is harder to notice the lag with.
f you're getting a separate TV for gaming, I would suggest getting a monitor unless you really need the TV tuner, since they are much cheaper for the same size and still have VGA and HDMI inputs.

You can never really remake a H2 map in H3, the game itself is played differently so no matter what something won't seem right. Aside from that, the map is pretty accurate there are some size issues, the lifts near spawns are unreliable and can send you the complete wrong direction, where as with Warlock you would always end up on the bases. I'd rather see Assembly to be honest, plays really well for Flag and alright for Slayer. Anything that has potential to get rid of Lockdown is fine by me(Iso please).
