Nah, they dropped all of them when they remade the game and nothing new's been discovered yet to my knowledge.

As someone from 2004, in many ways it has come a long way but it really is no community anymore, more a hub. The old days were epic

Halo went through very rough times after 2011 when MLG dropped Halo off the circuit for CoD Black Ops 1 when Halo reach was being played and only 30+ teams out of a normal 256 showed up to the national championships in Providence. Halo had always been nutured and handled by MLG so as such when MLG dropped halo the community didn't know where to go or what to do cause it had never had to do anything on their own, MLG would always handle the events and build the scene. Halo 4 released and for the year it was terrible as well, we had AGL(Arena Gaming League) around for a couple Halo 4 tournaments but then they turned their back on the community and ran out with peoples money and disappeared. When the Master Chief Collection came out 343/Microsoft decided to be like other developers and fully support their game so they now run and fund the HCS(Halo Championship Series) and every event the viewership gets bigger and every year the money gets better. Halo has seena resurgence and it's nice that companies like Evil Genuises, Cloud 9, Denial, Elevate, Optic, CLG and now Liquid are investing in the scene. That says alot and I see great things happening in the future.
Also ElamiteWarrior was a top 6 placing Halo 2 pro from 05'-06', Halo 3 National Championship Winner 2008 on Str8 Rippin and top 2 placing for the rest of 09'-10' for the remainder of Halo3.

Also assault (neutral bomb) - bomb spawns in middle of the map, either team can take it and arm it in their opponent's base. Bomb carrier moves more slowly, once you take it into the base there's a circle you have to stand in, after about 5 seconds of holding the bomb there the bomb is armed, it explodes, and after a few seconds the bomb respawns in the middle of the map. First team to 3 wins.

thanks for the reminder. I remembered it a bit but couldn't remember if they had dropped it or not as a competitive game type so I left it out.
I think what hurt the game a bit was bungie leaving after reach so once they released the game they didn't have a ton of motivation to update and patch it as soon as possible. plus sprint was weird and gun spread was weird. also the maps weren't really that good. (also matchmaking was an abomination that somehow ranked 4 individual people with like a 4 man team of semi pros)

welcome aboard. good luck. I'm probably going to start watching again now that I have a team to cheer for. I'd ask if you take friend requests but your lists probably full.
also if you stream and need a moderator I'm available.
(in all seriousness though great to have you aboard)

Can't wait to see you play!

|
Ninja and Elamite are ballers, I used to enjoy watching them.
Good luck to TL!
|
This has been rumored in the Halo community for a while, I'm so stoked to see it happen. Halo hype!
|
Can't believe TL let's g2a sponsor them knowing they are fucking over people.
|
Hum okay, weird move, but good luck!
|
Does this mean we get a new section for Halo in the TL sidebar?
|
I haven't followed halo since Halo 3. Which halo game are these guys playing, 4 or 5? (I think there's five out now?)

Halo 2 Anniversary, it's part of the Master Chief Collection. Halo 5 will come out later this year.

Been watching Ninja's stream and he is quite the character. He's very engaging and talkative.
