1. Americans are not the best gamers ( they just are more priviliged and spoiled and have easy access to MLG Tourneys )


Americans are the best console gamers. Specifically xbox 360. Exactly why in MLG Pro Circuit all the top teams are Americans. Australia's best team went to one of the tourneys and got duced on. Same with European teams that have ever went to one.

It's simply fact that Americans are the better console gamers. Unless some foreign team rises from nowhere and takes 1st, this will always be true. Not yet has a foreign team placed in the top.


Modest, arent you? Most Americans when getting into a petty argument with a British gamer will bring up Tea, Crumpets, The Queen, Fish & Chips and Croquet. In my experiences, and im sure in almost everyone elses, the Tea and Crumpets is the most common insult. Im British, i hate Crumpets. Just like British insults revolve around fast food and obesity. 9/10, the person you will be calling morbidly obese, wont be.

Its pretty, get over it.

If the field was made up half American teams and half Australia/UK teams, then you could make that point, but it's not. I'm just saying.

That said, I'm sure some good talent in Australia and Europe is still under the radar, so we can't make assumptions about American teams staying at the top forever (although it's likely since living in the US provides somewhat easier access to MLG events).

By the way, I'm an American.

Not really. The best team from Australia went to the Halo tourney and didn't even place top 16 I don't think. So that proves Americans are better. Pretty sure European teams have went too and haven't gotten top 16. And top 16 is to be considered pro.

I as you may have guessed am a British Kid, and i'm not going to deny that the top gaming teams on Halo, CoD etc. are American but nearly every American I play I end up beating them so I think that Americans are better at winning tournaments etc. but just winning games in general could go to the British, Australians, anyone really, and also that since America is obviously a lot larger than most places it has more room allowing more people to develop into extremely talented, tournament winning players, I just think that if other countries and/or continents had exactly the same as what America has I am not sure American teams would be at the top of every tournament. No offense intended here just my opinion.

P.S- I love crumpets and tea!!!

1. Americans are not the best gamers ( they just are more priviliged and spoiled and have easy access to MLG Tourneys )

2. Most Americans think they are the best, which is true in some cases but in most false.

3 Americans think they are superior over all other nations which is Bull -blam!-. America is just a larger continent than countries like, for example Britain who have a minimal area to expand and develop.

4. Americans are just full of themselves LOL!!!!

P.S. I do not hate Americans, i love em you guys are my bros im Scottish. I just wish u guys got in touch with reality.


1. Wrong. Why do you assume that we have easy access to tournaments? Just because it's easier than yours might be doesn't make it easy.

2. The best gamers come out of America. This does not infer that bad players do not.

3. We are. You could have won that war during 1775-1783 but you didn't. Therefore we are better.

4. And all Scots are drunks. Amirite?

P.S. I do hate foreigners because they are terrible and oftentimes lose on their atrocious host. I wish they would get in touch with reality and realize that they suck and that winning on their host advantage is expected.


this is a classic case of the average moronic yank xD

1. You Americans do have easier access to the Major tournaments because you are closer and we are further away.
2. You must be mentally ill or just idiotic too think all the best players live in America, that is just insane. You can't prove it unless the good teams or players from around the globe all come together and have a huge tournament.
3.Since when do wars come into this, go into the flood if you want to discuss wars.
4. I'm British but all the drunks are in Ireland.

The best players are in America. The best European and Australian teams have went to the Halo 3 MLG tournaments. None placed top 16 I don't think. So we win, get over it.

its mainly because all Americans assume that all English people are Londoners who eat crumpets and drink tea all day, when in real fact most English people are chavs who walk the streets and stab people.

nonono, the most FAMOUS gamers come out of the USA, basically because you guys are more technologically advanced than us, due to the fact that america is richer, and has more land to expand, and a more stable economy than the UK, plus, the frequency of good players to population will be the same, it just seems that there are more good USA players, because at a population of 258 million, to our 35 million, you have us outnumbered.

Our economy and population have nothing to do with this. That would be like saying Spain isn't the best soccer team in the world right now because they have a higher population.

The reason these players are famous is because....THEY ARE THE BEST. Has any foreign team placed top 16 in an MLG halo 3 tournament? No, and that's all that matter. Your best can't beat ours, deal with it.

I'm Irish wee like a drink yes, but english people are total twats 96% of the time, usual British sat night consists of a pint and a fight down the st christophers, and the fight is usually some guy pumped up to the eye balls who mouths and gets the pish knocked out of him, Also British inferes northern irish people, so in theory you are saying all people in britain are drnks?

If i send 200 teams to play halo and 1 british & 1 Aussie the law of averages will tell you that the winners will come from the group of 200!

Also Americans tend to play alot more since they have no lives and are super fat, they're terribad at all sports apart from sprinting and thats only black people and the whites hate those types because they're not american, they're african american, americans are the best at racism and thinking they're good and shouting "OH MY GOD HE KILLED ME THROUGH A WALL, FOREIGNER HOST BULL, 1v1 KID SO I CAN PUNISH YOU WITH INVIS AN MAULER" when in reality they just got out BR'd

ok, so media coverage of events (TV, Youtube) have nothing to do with their fame no? and their coverage by Dr Pepper, the hundreds of instructional videos, the sponsorship deals, and the fact that every MLG even is held in the US. None of these things have anything to do with fame? you said yourself, our teams travel to tourneys and get absolutely trounced.. that has nothing to do with us not making it to MLG events to gain experience due to travel distance/expenses now does it?

Saying that is like saying that the american music industry on the whole contains more talent than the UK ones? That is rediculous, the reason again for the american domination of the airwaves is because all the major record companies are based/have offices in the USA. The venues are bigger, there are more scouts in the major cities, and there is far greater media coverage. you are an arrogent american, and part of a worldwide problem. now you deal with it.

Don't act as if you understand MLG, because if you did you'd realise that when a new team enters the tourney they have start right at the bottom of the am brackets due to having no points.

All the current top MLG teams are American (apart from the European Power Gaming who are actually now Top 16) solely because they've been going to tourneys for longer, hence the more seed points and how much easier it is for them to keep the points.

Using that argument is just pathetic, we don't see your American teams coming to compete in ECL, so by your logic I'm free to say "All European players are the best because no American teams have finished top 16 at a European event."

That's the thing with you yanks, 9 out of 11 times, you're wrong.

I've seen my family fade away, You've taken my whole life left me nothing to say. Sitting in silence with heaven above me i prayed every night by their graves. I search for closure i feel it no longer i can't turn my face away. I stand before you Ive seen what I've had to but now i leave your sight to avenge my family, I've taken my whole life there's nothing left to say.

MLG isn't just exclusively American. You don't see that in the name of the league, it's open to any country. And MLG is much, more popular and respected. So the best European team can just slip barely into top 16 yet Europeans are better? Pure bs.

I'm tired of all these stupid arguments. Americans are better at Halo 3, it's fact. Take the top MLG team and they will win the against the ECL teams. No doubt about it.

You're not even responding to what I said, you're just pretending I said something else and basing your response on that. In all honesty, I wouldn't expect anything more.

You don't realise how many hurdles new teams have to jump when starting at MLG events, it takes a while to get your footing in, get seeding points which determine who you face. All the current pro American teams have been attending H3 events since the game was released, which gets them more points, which gets them straight into the Champions/Winners brackets, not only with a guaranteed high placed finish, but a safety net if they drop a game or two.

Now that the few European teams are more established, they'll be able to improve on their rankings without having to spend all day fighting through the Amateur brackets, just to be dropped straight into the Losers brackets.

You're judging an entire nations skill on this shoddy system that MLG themselves admitted to being unforgiving to new teams, hence the new Combine events.

Runza is better than both of those.
