Making a second video... need opinions

So I had so much fun making my first ill-concieved DoD video, that I'm gonna make a second one. I thought it would take a while but in the past couple of days I've been making so many clip-worthy shots that I've got about 5 minutes worth of footage. The problem I have is that I'm not sure if this will be too long. Most of the shots are pretty nice, a bunch of sick shots through walls and corners, some streaks & mid air shots, so it's not like there will be any trash in there (except this one time I prone in a corner with a thompson while waiting for more fresh respawns.). The basic criticisms I got on my last one were a lack of video quality, which I think I have found a solution for(except a few view demo bugs which I can't get rid of, hello magical flying sniper helmet of doom), and the fact that I jacked most of it up to 200% speed to keep it concise. If most of my video is at 1x speed, will that still be too fast? And is 5 minutes too long?

5 minutes is pretty long but if it's all good material and the download isn't too big then go ahead. I would rather watch a shorter video though.

I dunno its about 4:47 now, I editted down many of the scenes to cut down the length. I think I used slomo a little too much but I wanted to show how I angeled the wall shots. Whole thing came out to 35 MB which was suprising. I think I'm gonna try make the quality a litttle better and shoot for ~ 70 MB. Then I will have to add music and some sort of cute intro and outro.

As long as I'm one of the people you kill (many many
times, of course,) then the video can be as long as
you want it to be!

Anyways, I always get a kick out of the videos people
let us see. Just make sure teh quality is geud!
