What he means is that it takes next to no skill to snipe people without lead, simply click on them. TBH it probably is easier to kill at close range with sniper with 0 ping...

I was joking, of course. Don't take me seriously. If you've ever hosted a game and picked up a sniper rifle, you are god. Instantly transformed into an unstoppable deity which cannot miss.

Well put quite simple, pro teams>non pro teams.
Who are some of the best teams in the game now? noone? Ask them how they did on CAL. Benja's team? Ask Naota and dingo how they did against my team in playoffs(11-0 and 8-0)... and we were only at best the top mid-level team.
This is not meant to offend anyone, and as o`thorn said the best "They are just ignorant... don't really know how it was". Some of the best players back then (in fact i believe the top 5 ranked on gotfrag was roo0, vespillo, steele, basic, and kaexo) were just as good back then as anyone is now... and they were playing for months, whereas many people have played for years and years. Like.. you're talking about people who essentially invented the way you play halo.

ANYWAY, yeah sure we could do some 2v2's.. me and roo0 have not played for a LONG time (in fact i hadnt played any video games at all for 2 years.. have been playing for maybe a month now). Me and him are in the same boat as we are basically just playing as a tune up for H2V.. but I'm always looking to improve since I really suck at haloPC now :D.

Neither the game nor its community is dead, but the hardcore competitive side to it has been dead for a while. Roo0 is just trying to sponser a tournament that will bring back that competition. It will be a great way to see old skill and new skill meet in a tournament where money is on the line. The money, especially, can help the competition. It's only a small amount (of course it could get pretty high if a good number of teams joins) but it will encourage teams to play more competitively. Even the casual public server-goers can enjoy something cheap like this.

But if pay-to-play is out of the question--if it prevents too many teams from joining because they're young or cheap or broke, or whatever--then it can be free. Whatever we can do to generate excitement. Both the competitive and casual crowds of the whole community can only benefit from this.

The intentions are good so we should give it a real chance before pessimistically declaring that it won't work.

So stop arguing about skill and the past and think about how we can put this idea into motion for the benefit of Halo PC, Bungie, and competition. ;P

Thorn, your satement is full of truthful statements. Except the fact that the game is dead, it is, may it rest in peace. Halo 1 xbox is still better than h2, but it has been retired. Soon enough Halo pc will meet its demise with the arrival of h2v, All servers you go into you can cuss,tk,-blam!-, any of those gets you a ban, next thing you know ur playing Race on Gyrephobia....

But u are correct, we can forget about the money and do this for braggin rights. Turns out Messy or Nessy lives in scottland yet he wants to 1v1 with 399 ping ... Not very smart. Get the people together, well do it for free Im working on a site right now.... with brackets...

Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

I am very much interested in this, I know I 2v2ed you guys with torch a week or two ago and it was fun.
Free is better lol.

  • 03.23.2007 10:17 PM PDT

Competition does bring people together :D

This sounds good, and a cash prize would be sweet. I wouldn't mind paying.

Can't wait for more details.

Kay, firstly clan noone being best? kay, get upto date, also the game was so new then that I can practically guarantee that most teams in that tournament were so new that they would have sucked terribly.

Sure clan noone are good at their heavy whoring and stuff but euro teams are the top halo teams till this day, as we own both in 33 and 200 ping servers.

Roooo, that wasn't me that you spoke to on AIM, that was a friend, even though I obviously do live in Scotland, I see no reason why I would get 400 ping...I own both US and UK servers, so we can have a fair fight, ye no, for fun.
PS Please don't mention benja again lol.

That is cos clan noone is the only active good kw clan, other clans don't take part in kw so much anymore, and all the other good palyers decide not to all go into the same clan because it spoils the game.

Clan noone players can only play with eachother, and lack the ability in playing all but assault and 5v5 ctf.

Up-to-date? That is up-to-date.

And those teams, regardless of when they played, invented the way we play the game today, as dutch said. They played it constantly and they did whatever they could to win because thousands and thousands of dollars depended on it. Of course they knew what they were doing--they're the players who were never really bad at the game. To say they sucked is plain stupid.


Sure clan noone are good at their heavy whoring and stuff but euro teams are the top halo teams till this day, as we own both in 33 and 200 ping servers.

How presumptuous. Everyone on our team has a great shot compared to other Americans as well as Europeans.
Euro teams aren't the top Halo teams--there aren't even very many left these days and those that are aren't any good. They own on 200 ping servers? We just 4-0d a Euro team and all dropped 30s on them.

Now, sorry, I couldn't ignore your stupid posts. But who cares? Don't turn this into a pissing contest (you'll lose). Skill isn't what needs to be discussed here. We're just trying to organize something cool.

clan noone is not the best clan, and european clans indeed do have better aim, as in the best euros aims are better than the best americans.

Sure there are few of us, but there always were compared to the US. You beat a euro team? Well done, earlier on I beat an American team...
