YouTube is clogged with drearily long replays of Call of Duty: Black Ops. They account for most of the most popular gaming clips on the giant site. Thankfully, someone has finally made a better, more beautiful one.
YouTube user IVIachineX sets his first-person shooter clips to music. He edits them. He adds special effects. He’s basically made a Black Ops music video. This, Call of Duty fans, is what I’m looking for. This looks great.
He’s done it for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 as well. I had no idea this was going on, but I’ll be checking out more. It appears that there’s a community of folks doing this kind of thing, many of them working with a tool called FlatLineEditing (here’s their YouTube page). I want more. Please.

This type of editing is much better applied to more interesting games.

Also, in before CoD haters.

You can find some amazing ones on youtube, most with trash metal music as the song though.
