dam i wish there were like some one said weekly turnys : )

The Samsung 50 inch DLP TV that they are offering as a prize sucks. There is a delay when you play video games on it. I bought one a couple weeks before Halo 2 came out and thought it would be the best TV ever, but it turned out to be complete junk since there is a delay when playing video games. When I called Samsung to report that I had a defective TV, they said they admitted that they had a problem with DLP TV's when playing video games. I went on to buy a 50 LCD TV from Hitachi that play perfectly. Not a bad prize as long as you are not going to playing video games on it.

Yeah I mean if it's everyone in the USA then if you win that earns you the title of world champion! Because everyone knows USA is the only country in the world that plays Halo 2, The way you omitted all the other major countries makes me want to puke. On you.

Assuming you underage kids are actually better than the "elderly," which I'm sure might be the case with a few of you but overall it seems doubtful, the only reason for it is that you have nothing to do but play Halo. You live with your parents, you don't have jobs, you're not in college. The rest of us don't have the time to dedicate 8 hours a day to playing a game. We have to make a living.

Since all the minors in Halo2 (like me) like to play Halo2 a lot why not make a Halo2 tournament for all the minors in the US since you have to be MATURE enough to play with BIG GUYS us kids could have alittle fun for no prize but for the glory of the game

HEY DUMB -blam!- I KNOW WHAT THE -blam!- STANDBY IS.... AND IN WARCRAFT 3 THE WAY THEY GET RID OF CHEATERS IS BY LOOKING AT LIKE THE TOP 100 IN TOURNEYS AND CHECKING IF THYE CHEAT THEN THEY BAN THEM. SO ONLINE TOURNEYS WOULD NOT ONLY BE FUN BUT WOULD MAKE IT EASY TO FIND CHEATERS.THEY USED TO HAVE THOUSANDS OF HACKERS IN WARCRAFT 3 AND NOW YOU WONT FIND ANY! HEHE

Holy -blam!- What the -blam!- is wrong with you people? Minors can enter if their guardian signs a -blam!- sheet. So shut the -blam!- up about minors and if you are a minor (like me) going -blam!- register. And yes, kids can win the full prize but the money will probably go to the guardian anyway. You cannot compete at home. Once again you have to compete from a gaming center! Go check the official website of the people that are hosting the tournament. Oh, and by the way, it says USA because you have to be one of the top in the USA to vs. the top in other countries.

RunningRiot809 seems to have been reading the wrong site or something, "You cannot compete at home. Once again you have to compete from a gaming center!" is not true in the least, unless he is doing his own tourney...."The highest-ranked player (who is also tourney-registered and eligible) in the Rumble Pit will be declared the U.S. Halo 2 Tournament Champion" so theres no gaming center involved, at least in the opening rounds of the tourney.

"The worldwide finals will be played in June, culminating in the naming of the first-ever Xbox Live Halo 2 World Champion. Never before have all 24 Xbox Live regions—including Japan, New Zealand, France, and Norway—participated in one global tournament event. The Xbox Live Halo 2 World Champion will be decided by a double-elimination ladder. The U.S. qualifying round will be played in the “Rumble Pit” match setting within Halo 2."

if you read that properly, you would know that each regional champ will go on to compete for the world title, not that the USA winner is instantly world champ. It does suck to hear a bad review about that plasma tv though, maybe they can give a cash prize instead, and yes we know by now you kids want to play, maybe if enough of you do play, and the judges have to disqualify you they will see and possibly make a youth tourney? who knows....

I heard if minors wanted to enter there parents could sign them up and they could play, and then the prizes could be rewarded to the parent

If you think you're up for the match, just watch the Halo USA championships on the halo1 extra coverage. It's pretty intense....and you can probably expect the same rules to apply in this tourney as in that one....it shows their screen while playing and.....the buggers just never miss, you know?

Anyways, it sounds like fun....Bungie, if you're reading this, make a 2 on2 matchmaking option, along with an MLG matchmaking thing too.....if MLG rules are what are used in tournaments, then let us practice and see each others stats to see how wee would pitt against each other in a MLG tournament....please. It only makes sense.

Man, I wish that I could enter the tourny and show my skills! It is true most kids are better at Halo I don't Know why, just the way it is. Please stop typing all those annoying vvvvvvv and such its annoying!!!


Ps: Bungie, please keep radars in head to head, it makes it more tactical seriously! I like the creeping and you guys said no one really wants radars on the other end and I want them! It makes the game experience more enjoyable, you don't just get killed out of no where...
