i dropped a decade into halo and never went anywhere with it

its impossible to find a good team, you beat pros online and they call you a warrior and forget about you

unless you were the stat whoring sniper (reallygoodnoob, for example)

you wouldnt get noticed

even the GB heroes were considered terrible and nothing more than online warriors despite constantly being on top of ever gamebattles ladder in halo 3. (till they went to the first event)

for shame, and reach kind of sucks balls. no bloom might make it decent but i dont know if its worth it to start playing now.

in any case the halo gameplay is my absolute favorite out of any fps. really really good for competitive play.

ps. i love that pic of ogre 2 with boxer

The best way to prove you aren't a warrior is to go to an event. Who were the most legendary warriors of all time? Roy, Lunch, FearItSelf, and Hokum. First event they go to they get 4th. If you want recognition, winning online won't cut it.

Halo, my first gaming love <3
It sucks that Reach isn't a great game for competitive play. I still love the game, but it doesn't have enough pizaz to really hook people into the game like Halo 3 or Halo 2.

Halo was always my favourite gaming series (still is today if I force myself to forget about reach), and I used to love watching it on MLG. I think Halo 2/3 were by far the best console FPS games, I don't know how they compare to pc fps as I never played pc FPS. But Halo 3 was one of my favourite games of all time. Sunk in maybe 2 years into it, got to 50 in MLG at one point, but mostly hovered around 43-46. However reach really killed the series for me, the bloom and armour abilities aren't really what halo is about, and the game itself just feels much slower than Halo 2/3 were. Maybe no bloom will make it more watchable, but I doubt I will ever play reach as seriously as I play SC2 or played Halo 3. Taking out the ranking system was one of the worst things bungie ever did with the multiplayer. The maps also don't seem to be as good as they were in halo 3. Perhaps I'm just too attached to halo 3, but there are just no reach maps that are as good as The Pit or Onslaught for ctf games.

I only really followed Halo through the start to end of Halo 3, was an awesome era, loved following the teams and watch players develop from nothing into huge players (Pistola, Cloud and Roybox.)

Once I got into Sc2 I found it so hard to follow because they change teams so much

. Nice to see Og2 getting a Championship in every Halo game, thats fekking awesome :D.

I was a big MLG fan back in the days of Halo 3. I got to 50 in the playlist and played against almost all of the top pros. I usually held my own and i really do think i could have competed at the highest level but never went to an event. T.T

Reach is pretty bad, i think it is in large part the maps. Also the sprint capability really throws off the mechanics for most weapons. The DMR rewards people for spamming shots and getting lucky, instead of people who choose their shots and shoot consistently. Grenades are ridiculously over powered and take no skill to use accurately unlike Halo 1-3 grenades which you could bounce skillfully in any direction.

BR COME BACK TO US PLZ!!!!!! @_@

It seems like everyone has pretty much the same story. Halo 2 and 3 were the shit, and then... Reach...

God I'm so excited to see how next year goes though. I'm just like you guys. I had to force myself to write up this post and create this thread, because I want to keep competitive Halo alive so much, and I'll do anything to play my part in that. Halo is my baby.

man i used to watch MLG when halo 2 was still around, was my 1st intro into the world of esports. I logged in over 10,000 games of halo 3 when it was out, havent played in over a year tho, mainly since sc2 came out, and i didnt really like Halo Reach as much i was hoping, halo 2/3 to me are some of the best shooter of all time, and frankly, if they came out today with a Halo 3 for pc, id eat that shit up and never stop playing it, but right now, i cant stand the controllers for consoles, and its too bad us pc gamers will never get to see a halo game on the pc. sad face.

ROFL.....Halo 2 and CE are terrible examples. Both were sparsely populated at best, and still felt clunky compared to the console versions. Give us Halo 3 on PC and I'll never play Starcraft again.......

I've played Halo 3 for 3 years and played Reach for a while until I quit to SC2

MLG Halo 3 will always have a special place in my heart

Favourite players were Neighbor, Ogre 2/1, Walshy, Elamite... So many more but I can't remember

And OGRE 2 in Reach... despite really being a sort of average player (sort of) he still manages to win event after event... amazing really

I think this thread should start turning into more of a discussion thread. I'm posting because there has been a lot of shit going down recently in the Halo community and in its relationship to SC2.

Gandhi, the Halo commentator and former Halo pro recently started a show similar to State of the Game. This episode, called the Great Debate, has gotten quite a bit of attention recently. It discusses the future of Halo and Halo's relation to SC2. You guys should check it out for sure. Also there is a thread that popped up on TL today about these same people poking fun at the SC2 community, in a way that a lot of people thought were unprofessional. You guys should check that out too.

"Tom "Ogre 2" Ryan is the greatest Halo player of all time. His consistency puts any Brood War Bonjwa to shame."

Or maybe Halo was never as competitive as BW ever was.

What is bloom? I've seen it mentioned a few times in this thread. I mean, I know about the graphic effect, but I don't see how that could possibly make a game significantly worse. (the last Halo I played was 3, and I never took it remotely seriously)
