Was really exciteing in the finals going down to that last map.

Honestly, thinking back you could not have written a better story for this MLG, particularly for me as a fan of both Instinct and Status Quo. Instinct being the unstoppable juggernaut for all of last year going up against a controversially reformed Status Quo in a really incredible 11 round series, coming down to a 1-2 kill game. Really great way to kick off Halo for this MLG season, hoping it remains awesome throughout the year. On March 26 2012 11:13 mcmartini wrote: What are the new settings mentioned for this season? No bloom and no sprint primarily. I believe there are some other minor changes as well that I can't think of. | ||

There are a handful of individual players right now that could be called "the best" and Pistola is definitely one of them. He is also extremely dangerous in Team Slayer matches which is what the final match in the Grand Finals ended up being. There were like three different moments on the last map where the crowd was doing Pistola chants. | ||

I saw that second game ^^ awesome. I really missed those "Oh shit!" moments after not watching much FPS recently. Watched some CS1.6 at IEM, and Halo this past weekend tho, so I'm back in the mix of it. | ||

So they leave in jetpack and invisible but removed sprint :/ Also I don't get the no bloom i was reading earlier in the thread and ppl were saying it is completely luck based, I was under the impression whenever I play it is more timing based skill obviously if you're shooting off 10 rounds in 5 secs with the dmr you're going to be super inaccurate. | ||

Jetpack and Invis are now powerups you pick off the maps instead of armour abilities, which is ok. Invis was always a pickup. The jetpack works ok if only one player has it, and it's a pickup. | ||

Which is not what you want at competitive levels. So without it, everyone has an even playing field. Plus the Halo's never had bloom before, no-one asked for it, and it's better without it. | ||

I've played all the halo's and I don't mind bloom, but as you said at competitive level probably not the best. I do find timing my shots it works well when I play on LIVE, maybe i should just shoot as quick as possible now haha | ||

Basically, for anyone confused about "bloom" and "no bloom" - with bloom simply the faster you shoot, the less accurate your shots are. Bloom was made to punish people who "spammed" or didn't pace their shots. The bloom system in the game is completely broken though, with spammers being able to often kill players who paced their shots.With no bloom, it's essenitally just like past Halo games, you shoot and all your bullets go where you aim. No bloom and no sprint make the game 10 times better to both play and spectate. I've been with MLG and Halo for a long time and Columbus 2012 was the best event in recent memory. | ||

Pistola is popular cause he's really good and gives good interviews, etc. Was a FFA champion in H2/3 before becoming good at 4v4 and has an awesome personality as well. For those without Halo background, FFA is not treated as seriously by the competitive scene and a lot of top pros (in H1-3 anyway, idk about Reach) didn't participate at all barring a few (Karma for example), so especially in H3/Reach a lot of players made their names by being a semi-pro (8-32 slots) but dominating FFA- Mikwen, Cloud, Pistola are all notable examples of this. It's interesting to see Snakebite do well- I remember him always lurking around the 10-24 spots but never breaking out, grats to him. Also weird to see players I've never heard of before like Formal becoming big names. | ||

I'm with you man hahah even though a lot of us Halo players hate it  But I really enjoy it. Sure, the games last a long time but it adds a new sense of variety. So much of Halo is now fast paced non stop action especially with the new settings that its nice to have a game where strategy and cooridinated pushes are the keys to winning the games. I love the astro listen ins on damnation (penance) ts because the teams are going over so much and trying to figure out how to play it right in so many different situations | ||
