Btw: I never understood the Hype around Halo (1/2)... I played thru Halo 2 in coop and i don't remember ever having played something so... "average" yet SOOOO hyped. But i shortly before played thru Half Life 2... Most likely that spoiled me.. Btw2: Console shooters are just SLLOOOOW when compared to PC shooters. Thats the issue, if you look at some Halo footage on YouTube and then Quake... Well... Guess which one looks more impressive despite having terribad graphics. | ||

Before SC2 barely anyone outside of the US (at least in europe) even knew what MLG is... At least i didn't and I did follow progamming quite a bit before SC2... | ||

Halo 1's solo (and coop) mode was very very good, Halo 2 solo and coop were utter disappointing / garbage but the multiplayer was almost as good as Halo 1, without the lag issues. Halo was also the first to prove that FPS on consoles are doable, so after this huge success Activision gained $$$ with the CoD franchise. | ||

These are older (2006), but could serve as a good introductory series and are pretty epic. It's a 7 episode series (nor organized into a playlist but the rest are easy to find on youtube in order). This was televised in the US and was decent quality for esports broadcasting (especially for its time). The rivalry between Str8 Rippin, Carbon, and Final Boss during Halo 2 was some of the best Halo that's ever been played. These videos don't show all the games and all the gameplay, but rather highlight specific matches and go in detail to explain what happens during the game (strategy, strong plays from specific players, etc.). If you want to see the actual vod's from this series I believe they're out there somewhere. It'll be easier to find vods of more recent matches, though. The current game that Liquid's Halo team will be playing on is Halo 2 Anniversary, which is a remade version of the Halo you'll see in these videos. The gameplay is mostly the same, as well as some of the maps. Edit: A lot of the video is interviews with players/community members, you might want to skip to the matches themselves. First one starts at about 11 minutes in. | ||

It probably did for People never owning a N64/Goldeneye/PD but really, it was a good FPS, not some holy grail of FPS. | ||
