"Halo is more casual, starcraft you have to play religiously to be even slightly competitive". Damn right starcraft requires practice. Thats why people love it and watch it. That's why it is the closest to becoming a real ESport. I don't really take console games seriously.. they aren't competitive. | ||

So they should be fine o.o Im not gonna watch because I dont wanna feel annoyed, but I wanted to point out that their community wont die anytime soon unless that game is horrible... and probably not even then. Yeah Halo won't die until either they get sick of Halo (doubt it'll happen) or they stop making Halo games. I would be surprised if the Halo scene died at all in the near future just like sc2. I also didn't watch because I hate being annoyed by stupid comments :D | ||

Gandhi's Twitter @Kennigit @dmaq Kennigit - You're 100% right. I jumped to a conclusion in a prior video, and we are kinda joking around at this point. @Kennigit @dmaq I don't actually believe the argument I proposed - it just got so much attention that I ran with it. Video is down. I don't feel like we were being serious. Going to have to hold up a professional attitude every time we make a video? :\ It was intended as a joke, came off the wrong way - and as you can see by their twitter accounts, they went live again to clarify all this (I haven't seen this part). Yes it was in bad taste and I agree that it was probably pretty stupid, but people are just going to read the OP and watch those videos and take it out of context. | ||

They actually praise the SC2 fans. They talk about how SC2 fans created Barcraft and are doing all these proactive things while Halo fans are immature, annoying, and don't do shit except whining. | ||

This was the only problem I ever had with anyone at MLG. Everyone I met that was there for StarCraft was so incredibly nice. Especially in the Alienware area, where people were playing and giving tips. Not sure if any of that happens in the Halo community. | ||

Why do they have to insult the SC2 players/community to fire up their own? | ||

The fact that they're making the argument: "starcraft players are nerds", is actually mind-blowing. Oh and the fact that they're saying "we ain't hating on y'all" just fosters up suicidal thoughts. I didn't know kids with an IQ of 50 are actually capable of creating youtube videos.. | ||

You say that we maybe should sympathize because their community is getting smaller and possibly dying off, but why should we care? If a game deserves to be an eSport it will survive, also you talk like halo has a big loyal community, I am sorry to say it does not. Nobody really cares what some halo people have to say about starcraft, most of their views and points are pure ignorance and anger fueled. Also, Halo is considered a Joke compared to other FPS games for most people. I am all for any game doing well and everything, but if you ask me if a game with a community that actually follows it as a devoted eSport is very few people. It is a game mostly for people to play and have fun casually, they do not have a huge devoted community. I am sorry but I just don't care about a few halo people talking shit about starcraft because they are honestly, jealous and worried about their game. I agree with everything you posted. All of their "points" just told me how upset and scared that Halo is dying and so they are taking it out on SC. Also "buying 150$ woth of gear" does not make a valid point. One of the top rated comments on the youtube page. "I'm afraid to even type this. I'm a pro Halo Player, and this is nothing what most of us think. I respect the hell out of SC, I played WC3 back before I started playing Halo. I know ALOT of of the pros, and community respect your game also. This video, is just....stupid. I love all 3 of these guys, and this is nothing what they act like, but this is just down right fucking retarded." | ||

The first 4 minutes are there to stir up controversy. The rest are about Halo and how the community needs to help support Halo. If anything the controversy is there to get the video viewed by more people. + Show Spoiler + On a side note, them talking about Halo being pushed into the limelight by bigger games sound like another game community.... | ||

The way this video started is not something I'd want to show my friends to convince how amazing my hobby is. | ||

It seems they feel backed into a corner and are trying to say something about it. They clearly lack a point because the majority of the rant was about how we are nerds even if we don't think we are. | ||
