This is a re-upload of fireb0rn's "Surreal" montage that he uploaded back in 2012 (10 August 2012).

This one also features the legendary Quix99 (I'm serious. And he ended up being my best friend).

For these montages, I don't necessarily think they were ever the most impressive in terms of clips. You could criticize them and say that they include a lot of groundpounding, a heavy use of the shotgun, and a lot of the midairs are very close-range. However, a lot of the clips are still impressive to this day, and more importantly, I view these montages more like how I view the LANDIS beta montage. What I mean by that is I think of them more like timepieces that make you feel a certain way. For me, I think my favorite parts about these montages are the intros. They're high-fidelity, there's no HUD, they use pretty music, and they just make you feel nostalgic for those times. Maybe it doesn't work if you weren't there at the time, but I guess I'll never know.

I like to think that my obsessive downloading paid off and that these montages would be lost media if not for me since fireb0rn did not re-upload these anywhere publicly as far as I'm aware.

There is currently a re-upload on YouTube but in all likelihood it's just an upload of the copy I provided the community shortly before it was uploaded, so I figured I'd put it here as well. Fireb0rn said that he removed his Tribes montages from YouTube due to being demonetized because of the music he used, so I think it's best that these don't go on YouTube anyway.

I just discovered that this video is also available on the Wayback Machine. Dreaming and finale are not.
