The Janus Syndicate is one of the oldest and the greatest machinima comedy groups around. It was formed in November of 2005, and it’s the group behind the excellent “Dr. Strangeman“, the hilarious “Counter-Strife: The Noob’s Guide to Counter-Strike” and, of course, the incredible ”Half-Life 2: Anxiety“, which won the Grand Prize of the 2008 Ivy Film Festival.
They went on an extended absence, but returned in late last year, with a number of new videos – “Unfriendly Fire“, “Hearts and Brains” and ”The Garrysmod Secret Agent“, as well as a new episode of the G-Man Squad. But they’ve just released a sort of spiritual successor to one of their most popular videos: “Counter-Strike For Kids“. Read on to check it out!
Now that we’ve got the introductions out of the way, let’s jump right into “Counter-Strike: The Movie Trailer”!
You might have noticed the soundtrack was composed by Daniel “The Family God” Frome, the director and composer of the amazing Militia series (part 1 and part 2), another machinima series based on the Counter-Strike series (except the Militia series is the real deal, ladies and gentlemen).
Back to the video itself – brilliant parody, but a shame it was so short! Still, the return of SuPa-LeeT K1LLa CaP a CoP was without a doubt, one of the greatest cinema moments of the year. We wish the Janus Syndicate a warm “welcome back” to the community, and we hope to see more from them soon.
