Does anyone play that game anymore? And i'm talkin' Xbox here, no shitty PC.
For me it's every weekend I can manage to. Whenever there's at least 4 of my buddies together we slap two boxes together and play usually 2v2 on only three maps: chill out, prisoner, and damnation.
It's still way more fun than Halo 2 or 3 ever was. There's nothin like three shottin' newbies.
Does anyone give a shit about Halo anymore? Sadly I think the answer is no.
EDIT: This is very depressing to me.
Does anyone play pong anymore? A few of my friends get together every weekend or so and slap two Atari sticks together and play pong.
I'm sure when the Halo 3: ODST game comes out people will be jacking off to Halo again even though it won't be anything new.
I still play it brah. It's the best game in the series imo.
No I don't even own an Xbox anymore, but agreed that Halo CE is the best in the series.
I'm the best.
lol, No.Quote:

There was a story to halo?
Ok then...name 1 person on this site that is better than me at any Halo.Quote:

Me for one, no one else on this website played Halo and I don't care who you lanned with (please name them, let's see if I remember), and apparently everyone is a pro (I remember seeing some kid named TalenT, you know he sucks, on the MLG website a couple months back, so you get my point) these days so you're really nothing special.
To get an idea for me, I played with those utah noobs (I forget their names) on xbc wayyyy back in the day and then tmg/roc/that whole live crowd where everyone thought they were good before it became str8 rippin tmg. And I stopped playing like two years ago.
Yes, it is cool to argue about who is better at Halo.
Lol you suck at Halo.Quote:

Like I said, I still LAN H1 from time to time with the best players in Illinois and have lanned with people far better than the Utah Noobs. Yogi just held a LAN this past month. I don't remember everyone, but some people were:
Yogi
Skillz (Patch)
Gestapo
Jownz
Everest
Cicada
THEdude
Shade
Mantrain
Tru7h
Flawless
Fight
Max
Blaze
Dynomike
Bonesaw
You probably don't know who a lot of those people are, but I'm sure you recognize some of them. Since we can't actually play each other all we have to go by is who we play with, and I win that one because Gestapo/Jownz/Everest > anyone who still plays.
Yes, it is cool to argue about who is better at Halo.
lol Dynomike I remember him, we tried getting together a team for MLG Chicago in 05 since I couldn't make Philly; he's the only one on that list that I actually liked.
Tru7h (might be thinking of Fatal) and Yogi look familiar.
Mike consistently placed top 12 in '07 then quit. He's the best H1 player in Illinois (that still plays) imo, though Yogi and Duff would never admit that. I had never heard of Tru7h prior to that lan, but he was ridiculous. Yogi is the one that took me under his wing and taught me how to play H1.
We had 4 stations, 3 of which were being capped I think. The gameplays are being sifted through and will be for some time, but I'll see if I can find some of the ones they already uploaded.
EDIT: This is a really good one. Tru7h & Bonesaw vs. Skillz & Dude @ Chill Out
Tru7h is a beast in this game. Pay attention to him (top screen) especially at 8:04 and 8:34 - 8:39...disgusting.
lol utah noobs
If it wasn't for them, Utah would probably be up there in the ranks with Montana and Wyoming as Halo states. In fact you are probably the 5th best Halo player in Utah.
I think we can all agree we are better than the OP, and this thread probably went in a completely different direction than he intended.
lol You're probably right. No one around here is any good.
lol at op
Wow this turned into a name dropping pissing contest, 9.5 on the thread derail.
lol Filefront, memories of montages just came flooding in.Quote:

Speaking of which, the Illinois LANtage 4 should be coming out soon. I think Jeenyus delayed it though to add clips from this past LAN and put a guest section in or something.Quote:

Hawaii would have 1.
Get the point?
I'm sure that the actual numbers are much higher then 1 in a million, in which case Utah is still screwed.
It's like how China has so many Chess professionals, for every so million people one of them is a Fisher or Kasparov, and China just has the most people.
I know you like to have your whole online tough guy act going 24/7, but really, it makes you look like twice the moron you actually are.
You're really really retardedQuote:

well considering I don't follow professional video game players, i'm just going by math. I'm not saying there is only 1 professional player, if you read more carefully you'd have seen that i sadi the numbers are much higher. In which case utah is still screwed, let me elaborate for the mathmatically challenged.Quote:

So if you start out with Utah, in wich X=1,000,000 and Y= 1, and then you add say, new jersey, in which X= 7,000,000 and Y=7.
Let's increase Utah's X/Y ratio to say, 1,000,000/200. This brings up Utah's total number of pros to 200.
Doing the same to NJ, this brings NJ's number of pros up to 1400.
Unless theres an unusual concentration of professional halo players in utah...

They're going to start going over the gameplays more over break, so to save this thread I'll post some. Hopefully I had a few good games capped at least. I was working a lot that weekend so I wasn't there as much as everyone else, but I know I have to at least have some good games against people that were being capped.

ozzy what's your tag again?
Its Ra4xOzzy now, although I need to change it soon. Its not a team anymore, there are too many new people that don't know who I am or what Ra4 stands for, and getting called "Roxy" by illiterate randoms in the playlist is getting really annoying.
I tried to do Dsx Ozzy and it said the name didn't exist, so I was completely clueless lol
How often are you on?
i didnt know reload after four ever amounted to anythingQuote:

Yes you made (I guess) a decent argument as to why you would expect Utah to be a shitty state and that was exactly ozzy's point so when you are arguing for the side of sarcasm, it is true: you are retarded.
I doubt that Halo was COMBAT EVOLVED... more like COMBAT CREATED INSTANTANEOUSLY EX NIHILO.
For now I'm going to try and be on every weeknight. Once break ends well see though...I never know with school and work. Either I'm going to play constantly and compete in 09 or I'm not gonna bother playing much at all.Quote:

I try and play like mad on weekends though, unless I'm hitting the bar or whatever
They are slacking on the gameplays from the LAN. Status is a lazy mofo and Jeeenyus is busy working on the Illinois LANtage 4. That's coming out soon though and I can't wait for it. I'll be sure to post it here once its done. I heard I have some nasty clips in there :)
This thread got boring
CoD 4 is better
Than Halo 1? Lay off the crack. CoD 4 is fun but doesn't have enough of a skill gap to be a good competitive game.
I didn't mean Halo 1
Though I do prefer CoD
Halo 1 is the shit. And I would smoke you Ozzy you probably don't even know about backpack reload. BTW, those people you played H1 with suck. i've played with saiyan, ogre 1 & 2, tupac, and the great David Walsh. lol...yes i am washed up.
you are approximately one year two months too late for this thread
i would win at halo
What the fuck is "Halo"?
This is kinda sad. Yeah I know what it is, and most of those people I listed are better than the ones you listed (currently).Quote:
