I met Zane Whitfield at the COD: Ghosts launch late last year. I remember it because he is huge. No, I know I’m short and whatnot, but this guy is tall. Anyway, he told me that he likes video editing and was looking to to get involved in the local gaming scene. As you might imagine, I smiled and told him I’d like to see his stuff, fearing that it would be awful and I’d have to find a polite way to tell him to go away. Instead, he has shown off some serious talent – definitely don’t want him to go away.
For those who don’t watch videos, he put together an awesome gameplay trailer. It features all gameplay from the COD: Ghosts launch. It’s very well edited and set to some “vibey” tunes – I’m loving the professionalism of it. Seeing as I’m slowly getting over my FPS issues, this makes me want to give COD a shot – it is the natural progression from L4D2, right?
Speaking of which – big thanks to some of the community that joined me last Friday for some L4D2. Was loads of fun, even though I was an absolute n00b. Maybe one day I’ll be able to play for an hour without getting nauseous. Until that time, I’ll keep trying and practicing. Or just watching this cool trailer and fantasizing about being able to shoot people one day.

Great vid, just a bit short and perhaps too synched.
Anyway here is my favourite local vid. Its a bit old(240p) but frags are epic.
I’ll convert Zoe to Quake still 😉

I remember that using a jump pad was just asking for a rocket to the face but dam there are some truly amazing shots there.

Jeez, COD seems like the players stands still compared to this.

I would love to see a COD player attempt a rocket jump or strafe jumping.

Cool thing is that Quakelive has a ragequit option built in.

Not a fan of the way you only see the end of each kill, but cool vid.

I actually like that. Compared to CS where they only show you the guy that killed you and not how he killed you, so you never really learn.

its a pretty good edit, even at international level
still think Toribash doesnt get the recognition it deserves, the editing scene is pretty damn classy now.

The game in general is really impressive, massive learning curve to play.
each of the elements of the game have really developed over the years, the art, single palyer and multiplayer are all top knotch.
its just a pity that the majority of the palyers are all 12 year olds who googled “best ragdoll games”

Wow… Just wow.
I tried playing back in 2007 but didn’t really put in much effort.
Matthew Holliday
January 21, 2014 at 09:58
yeah, I started playing in 2006, got pretty into it and now the game wont let me leave =/
My clan has been 2nd place at every clan champs since 2007 and we won in 2011.
I havent been involved in the competetive scene in years, moved over to the texture scene and helped develope that area of the game.

The video is amazing but I just couldn’t bring myself to like the music.

Music? What music?
Kensei Seraph
January 21, 2014 at 08:05
That strange noise that plays with the video.
Apparently some people refer to that as “music”.

I thought it was COD sound effects XD

The natural progression from L4D2 is not COD. That would be stagnation.
Admiral Chief in Vegas
January 21, 2014 at 08:04
NO, degeneration

Right, that.

If she wants to play a zombie the answer is another L4D2 mode, not COD. :/

For some strange reason when we jammed on Sat. night, I had 46% accuracy and 42% headshots. That was very weird

You guys are actually playing this?
Bored of Dota lately, been looking to play something else, guess I should let Ghosts update and give it a shot with the new graphics card.

I felt kinda bad when she went down right by the chopper, there was just too many zombies to get to her & revive without dying myself :(. I didn’t even see what killed Grant – one second he was alive, the next dead.

I went to the chopper for a higher view, but once I got in, I couldn’t get out 🙁

“fantasizing about being able to shoot people one day”… Well, you heard it here folks – conclusive proof that gaming turns peeps into violent killers! 😉 🙂
On a more serious note, wish I had L4D2 (and a gaming rig) so I could join in the zombie killing fun… Sounds like you peeps had a blast… Literally! Ok, I’m ashamed of that one too… **slinks away**
