I'm a "pro" at Halo 3. I'm one of the best in the entire playtesting field. I don't even need to sign up for events.

Yeah, but who plays BF2 for xbox anyways? And there's tons of expert snipers, its based off accruing a certain number of kills, so a lot of people have it.

Still, props for playing a good game (at least, its good for the PC)

I'll bet most are asses. Most Halo players are asses, and almost all of the good ones are asses. Only makes sense that the best of the best are almost 100% asses.

But yeah, hardly any H2 players are pro. People come on these boards and say they're pro, they're not. Even if they have made money playing Halo, that does not make them pro. To be a professional at something, you earn your LIVING doing that thing - aka, for a Halo pro, they support themselves financially on their winnings at tournaments. Obviously, you have to be damn good to pull that off, to support yourself 100% by playing a video game.

Then there's the people who claim to be semi-pro. I'm not sure what they're trying to say, because technically there's no such thing, you're either pro or you're not. I think these are the people who win at neighborhood lan parties and like to brag about it.Pros at anything are rare. In the sport of skateboarding, which has plenty of household names and massive, year-round tournaments with huge prizes, only like 2 dozen skaters are really actually pro skaters. I think the ratio applies pretty well to Halo 2.


You are probably thinking of those lame sellouts who go to the x-games and advertise mountain dew as pros. There are plenty of pros who you may not have heard of that make their living by being paid because their boards sell, they put out video parts, and are sponsored by major deck or shoe companies. There are far, far mor than two dozen pro skaters. It is much closer to 300-500 people. The people I'm thinking of aren't on your Tony Hawk video games, but they still make 50,000+ dollars per year. That is still a living, even if they aren't millionaires. Plus they travel all over the world for free. Even the Am skaters (which are basically pro) are as good or better than alot of pros. They travel for free and get free products but don't have signature products, so they don't earn as much money per year.

I have been playing halo for a while now and i think i am good realy realy good. if anyone knows who your suppose to be consiterd pro let me know.


You all are stupid. I am a semi pro. My gamertag is I am glass. Anyway. Firstly, you will normally get a Friend request from a person from Bungie or something like that. Secondly, you will play in online tuortoments. When you do well soon you will get sponsored. Then....wait hold on back up. When your a semi pro you pick one thing to compete in as a semi pro. Then (back to where we were) you will son have to become good in every game type. Then you must find real life tourtoments and go and enter and compete.


This guy is obviously iliterate as he can't spell or use correct word order. What is a tuortoment and its 'you are all stupid' not 'you all are stupid'. Then he says 'you will son' its 'you will soon' and the tournament spelling mistake isn't even a mistake as he does it again. Plus the fact that he is not making any sense 'My gamertag is I am glass'. So is he saying his gamertag is 'I am glass' or is he the one who's stupid.

If you have never been to an MLG event you cant say pros are asses. i have been and all the pros were actually really cool. I talked to all of the top pros and none of them shrugged me off. It was funny because they were asking me questions instead of vice versa. They are probably just asses to ignorant annoying kids.

I'd say you are a pro if you have money in your bank account that was paid to you in return for playing a game or for using or wearing a particular product while playing a game.

Of course they arent going to be a dick to you at MLG because youre actually there. Like most kids, they can talk all the trash they want on XBL but they sing a different tune when you can beat their ass and leave them unconcious in the dumpster.

Wow, ninjas must have left this forum long ago...
KB isnt bad and he is smart.
Oh, and the reason that most people in CoW arnt at the top of the game is because he lets people in who arn't amazing and then works with them personally to help them get better. As opposed to pros who are way too "leet" to waste their time on people who don't go to MLG.
I know that since being in CoW my game has improved by playing with him and having him teach me some stuff.
Back off douches.

Oh, so let me get this straight, you generally stay away from intelligent human beings who know bs when they see it and call you out for making stuff up? Don't come on these forums and lie left and right and expect people to suck up to you.

And how come half the people in this thread claim to be able to beat pros on a regular basis? That's just nonsensical. KevinBrock, I was on your side man, but now you're pretty much saying you can beat any pro, anytime. If so, then why aren't you a pro as well?

I wasnt refering to being able to beat them in Halo, I was saying that the reason they dont talk trash in person is because they know that they are going to cross the wrong person and get -blam!- up at an event. Ive played with several pros and ALL of them are significantly better than me.

Ah ok, sorry I sounded like a dick. Yeah, it is pretty easy to talk trash in a game of Halo 2, but when they are live they better cool it down a lot.

just so you peeps understand the Q. as i see some of you didn't, i never stated i was pro i stated i was good, and thought that i had wut it takes to be pro, and bung9ie stats have nothing to do with how good i am. if you true doubt my abilities and want to continue running your mouth on here and callin me a wanna be then thats ok with me just let me know when your ready to back dat blam-! up. i am tired of everyone saing i just a wanna be just becuse i can't afford to register for the tourneys, well i tell you wut if you want me to prove myself then why don't one of you start a tourney online and get someone to sponsor the winner and i will show you how good i can be when i want to try, bungie stats HA. all thats good for is seeing how many games you are away from your next level. so i state again if you doubt me then heres my GT just add me and tell me why you add me so i know wut it is about.

To find out if you are in fact a professional Halo 2 player you need only to ask yourself this simple multiple choice question.

1.Do you get paid an amount of money from playing Halo 2 that you could make a living on?
a. Yes
b. No

If you chose answer a, then congratulations! you are in fact a pro! Unfortunately, if you chose answer b, you are not a pro.

This has been Geoff's guide to making your appalling stupidity apparent.
