I say challenge the Halo 3 kiddos to street fighter. By that I mean gather up your (big) sc2 buddies and brawl in the middle of the parking lot. Dont forget to videotape the asskicking. Also, watch out for the low blows. GL HF

Seriously, Halo is such an utterly mediocre game, and its biggest fans seem to be the most obnoxious fratboy douches in the universe. It's only natural there's going to be animosity between them and SC players. If it weren't for the fact that Halo is so tremendously popular in the US and thus probably is financially a better choice, I would say they should drop it for Quake, which is clearly superior from a competitive standpoint. PainUser's right on target.

Quake is a brilliant game. Agreed Avrithor. Also. Fuck yeah Painuser.

Halo is for FPS players that can't hack it in CS or Quake. The Prince of Qatar stuff is interesting. Starcraft is truly a game for the elite now.

Halo community isn't that bad, theres always a couple of jerks on every community but overall i would say the console community in general is not as bad as it's painted, for example where I live most players are extremely polite and helpful on our local community sites and they're just very competitive. Also PC gaming is sometimes overlooked but i will still say that once you discover PC gaming its really hard to go back XD. I do like Halo as a game, probably the most competitive FPS console game out right now. OT: looking forwarrd to enjoying some fine starcraft 2 this weekend ^_^

So much hate on halo... Its a great team game with a huge following. It's success has allowed mlg to branch out to titles like sc2.

Next to that Halo 3 is a weak Sequel to the original H:CE MLG started with which is arguably the best FPS for competitive play on consoles together with maybe shadowrun.
Like this thread btw, this kind of funny behind the scenes intel is invaluable to the experience.

"FPS guys supposedly talk a ton of smack when playing. When MLG had Gears of War on their Pro Circuit, the refs had to make sure the teams wouldn't punch each other."

lol I'd definitly believe this. I'm actually hoping the clash of these gaming cultures gives the SC2 pros more balls as far as friendly trash talking goes. The halo kids are gonna feel threatened by SC2 since it's a dynamic game to watch and could possibly knock their game down. If SC2 players don't know how to push back a little and act like meek nerds, it'll be like blood in the water for those sharks. "Time to man up."

Having B-rad on our scene doesn't help too much either.

Intrigue and I met the four casters -- Day, JP, HD and Husky. They are all in the same room and sleep on the same beds in their casting pairs. How cute.

How adorable. Im excited to start watching these casts!

Hot_Bid should get his own reality show where all he does on it is troll everyone. I would pay to watch.

Yea that's true but people most people here have never played halo competitively and i was just surprised at the bad rep it has here. Believe me halo has nothing on GOW in terms of douchebag kids playing it.

Also yeah, try to watch a little of the halo pro streams on saturday and sunday if you get the chance, i love quake, counter strike and starcraft but halo is also very fun to watch, especially with MLG's great commentators, give it a shot and you might like it, its not as fast paced but i guarantee you'll know when something amazing happens as the crowd will go wild.
