It was just a matter of time to be honest, halo will always have a solid following no matter how much everyone here hates it. Just happy I love starcraft now to. Well for the record, many people who hate on Halo are the kind of people who just hate all esports games that they don't play. I don't know why that's the case with many people... but it just is. Either way, I think it's a great move by MLG as it shows the sc2 community that all the support does make a difference, and maybe more Halo fans will tune in as well to support their game. | ||

Either way, great to see the SC2 scene advancing more and more. With League of Legends coming to MLG next year (I believe that's what I heard, anyways), they will have to change their logo to a mouse/keyboard, instead of a controller. | ||

Halo was main stage at all previous events. | ||

Halo and Call of Duty are only played by the americans, smart people don't play this casualshooters on consoles WITH A GAMEPAD oO Intelligence is unrelated to casualness as a gamer. It is silly though to play a competitive game with a less precise interface. | ||

Halo: CE was a great game, and Halo 2 had a rocky start but it turned out to be a great game as well. Halo 3 and Halo Reach and everything sucks complete shit relative to the older ones and most of the "pros" now who were just practice partners for actually good people in Halo: CE and Halo 2 have been pretty vocal about how much lower the amount of skill takes. i quit Halo 3 about 5 months into it out of aggravation and started looking for "better games" that i just knew had to be out there, which eventually led me to BW and SC2. i haven't even touched Reach and given the streams i've seen, i don't want to. only good thing about Reach is the nostalgia it brings of watching people play modified versions of old and beloved maps. it's great justice for them to lose center stage in my opinion, Bungie (and i'm rarely one to get all conspiracy theorist and shit but it's just the truth) sold out and threw gimmick after gimmick at their game until it just wasn't good at all anymore. there just hasn't been a good game with a huge fanbase like SC2 to slap it in the face like it needed to be. i feel the same way about Halo 3 and Halo: Reach as a lot of BW fans feel about Starcraft 2. it doesn't deserve mainstage because it has no real merit, the new Halo games are just riding the fame of the old ones.

Halo was a central part of MLG for a long time through the whole series and helped MLG get where it is today, regardless of what you think about the games they were great for eSports, I don't see how you can complain about it at all. | ||
