Big shoes to fit after montage 3 by Exus, and I don't think either of you succeeded. Gameplay was good as usual but I honestly don't feel it was per say better than M3, more like equal. It showed Dutchy knows how to force spawns and knows how to predict them, but the majority of kills themselves in multi-team weren't that impressive - just a line of medals really. It also seems the opponents actually had gotten more stupid. Some shots obviously blew my mind, especially the one on Construct just before you died. The one that was hit didn't actually die, but somehow I found that shot most impressive.
As for editing, it seemed random at many points and I really hated the forced syncing in one of the songs (can't remember which one, it was yesterday) and the montage had some very missplaced effects throughout the entire thing or effects that were overdone. Example being the screen flickering when the beats weren't even that noticable, you would've been better off not flickering at all. Another example is at one point Dutchy got a Killionaire (I believe on H3's Blood Gulch version? Can't remember the name) text popped up saying KILLIONAIRE with a line above it and underneath. That was really sick and would've been fantastic if you made one smooth movement out of it to the next clip. Instead, it had like 5 random movements first (and didn't look good to be frank) and THEN transitioned. Why? It destroyed the flow you had going.
As for the overall feeling, I'm kind of missing the things that made M3 so personal; the way the credits were made whereas this was just text scrolling up. M3 had it in message form and everything - really made it more... emotional I suppose? I didn't feel anything other than "eh, m3 was better" after this. Sorry brahs, but that's just the way it is
I didn't like most of the music either, but that's just my problem; can't have everyone like all of it.

Unless sources are provided that prove something, you can regard it as an opinion (or theory, depends on what subject, but since this is a montage...). I post in a way that I make things look like facts too, but most of the time it is just filled with opinions. This is a message board.
And saying "well I spent 8 months and you said nothing nice so I won't take any of it from you" is a form of a closed mind too. Maybe he did that to help you out? Use his criticism to your advantage instead of frowning.
