Halo commentaries, or at least back during Halo 1-2 were good. haven't really followed the scene since Halo 3 came out to know if it's changed. MLG is more for console gaming that PC gaming however. Other than something like WCG no gaming organisation caters for everything. EVO for fighters, MLG for consoles etc.. SC2 being at MLG is an anomaly, not the norm. | ||

I personally preferred ut's movement system, just because it let me dodge off walls and stuff. Quake movement always seemed to me more about moving between powerups and less about dodging stuff. | ||

i guess quake 1v1 would be different because you only really need two perspectives, but most team games really need better camera work in order to enjoy viewing it and for most commentators to really grasp what's going on. | ||

I gave up on CS because i sucked and couldn't find a good team of friends to actually get good with lol. Yep, that's the way it is, Halo, CoD etc were never really important. Years ago, I remember seeing Starcraft, Warcraft and CS 1.6 on TV(Starcraft got replaced by FIFA later). Occasionally, they broadcasted DotA, Quake 3, sometimes UT2k4 and pretty much never CoD 2(CoD 4 wasn't released at that point).

Starcraft is definitely THE RTS, SF is THE fighting game, even though everyone plays every game from guilty gear to marvel vs capcom etc. but Quake is definitely THE duel FPS and CS 1.6 is THE team FPS. Completely right, couldn't agree more. | ||

Anyways, it was cool and all, but it seems like all of the strategy is just dodging bullets and getting headshots. I didn't see any real strategic depth. | ||

It was game 5 of the series. Final Boss was one of the teams). Anyways, it was cool and all, but it seems like all of the strategy is just dodging bullets and getting headshots. I didn't see any real strategic depth. Halo tends to just be 4 guys all yelling at each other to give the illusion of communication but for the most part they don't set up well for a team shooter. In CS there is a ton of locking down different entry points and swinging around for defense, which then leads to mind games on late rush strats or delays, etc. The strategy involved in CS also comes from predicting money and buy rounds, semi buys, deagles, or eco-rounds from the opponent so that youc an set up how you save your money and take control of the rounds. None of that happens in halo either. | ||

Hence while the tactical aspects can be discussed, the casting opportunities are much more limited, as there is not much things going on. Compared to QW, for example:There ar pretty good fps commentaries. Watch some quake. | ||
