So awesome! Hysteria, Karma doesn't play anymore. SS and T2 are on Str8, neither have been doing well as of late. Last I knew of Naded was still on random 8-12 teams but I'm not sure anymore. | ||

Naded teamed with 3 AM kids and used the old Storm Ventures name(they got top 16). Side and T2 got top 16 as well. | ||

Didn't know that about Hysteria. top 16 isn't bad but no where near as good as str8 used to be. | ||

The difference is humongous, the difference between 2 and 3 had mostly to do with weapons (they didn't use equipment in halo 3 mlg, so it should be irrelevant). But the difference between reach and 3 is huge. Even if you ignore all aspects of gameplay, they even took a step back with the matchmaking. They took out the old rank system and instead substituted it with a flawed new one (which doesn't work for objective games). Theres literally no reason to play halo reach, no way of marking improvement, nothing to work towards, and all the maps look gray. I am not sure how long you have been playing, but the ranking system they used have sucked ass ever since they changed it significantly in Halo 2. It used to be a level 20+ was INSANE and getting to 50 was almost impossible let alone 30 or 40. Then they changed it and you saw so many 50s and 40+ that it was dumb because it capped the ceiling just like Blizzard did with MMR. Halo 2 was the shit...3 not as good, and Reach is atrocious. Getting rid of BxR, increasing amount of auto-aim, etc. All terrible. | ||

Say what you want about 3 but the popularity of Halo in MLG was growing until Reach came onto the scene. | ||

It's practice as much as anything. I had a pretty good shot in H3 too when I played. Definitely not as accurate or quick as anyone playing a PC shooter but even with the joystick handicap they're a lot more accurate than PC FPS players would have you believe. | ||

Glad you tuned in, it's a shame there is this whole "console lololol" mentality towards Halo, because it really does take skill to be as good as the people you see competing in this tourney. Big finals, SQ just tied it up 4-4. | ||

I'm happy to see Victory X doing so well because I used to play customs with him quite often in Halo 2, and back then too he was sick. The thing i remember most about him is a Midship FFA where i was behind him and got 2 shots off and he just turns around and 4 shots me :p | ||

I love playing them, but seeing the smooth (albeit less skilled, anyone being honest will admit to that) gameplay of Halo is a thrill. I'd just like to point out that I don't think you can argue a difference of skill between CS/Quake/Halo. They are very different games as far as pace/objective of game/type of teamwork involved. What's always drawn me in with Halo is the fast-paced nature of it and the fact that movement doesn't influence your ability to shoot, which encourages movement over camping, adding more fun and thrill to the game (which is probably what you meant by "Halo is a thrill"). And Edit: Congrats to Status Quo Though I did hope Instinct would pull it out  ggs though! | ||
