Halo 2 is noobified compared to CE I will agree, but it still takes plenty of skill. Why do you think MLG was so huge during H2? $100,000 checks for winners, and million $ contracts were being made, along with big sponsors like Redbull, ESPN, being aired on G4TV and USA channel, etc. It had a big skill gap whether you want to believe it or not.Reason being because the game was insanely popular. Reason the game was insanely popular was how it was easy to pick up and play. Definitely wasn't easy to be amazing, but it was easier to get used to than other FPS games like Quake, Unreal, and Counter-Strike.
I never once said PC gaming isn't competitive, that's one reason why I'm surprised by little competition in H2V, I always thought the PC gamers were hardcore, but the majority of H2V servers consist of gametypes and maps made for the mentally challenged.I had a feeling you weren't, but i had to mention it just in case.
Like I said though, a lot of PC gamers aren't looking towards the Halo franchise for competitive gameplay while they have game like Counter-Strike, Quake, etc. to play instead. It also really doesn't help that the game runs through GFWL and has numerous bugs that often break the game completely with no solutions.
I used to play Quake III back in earlier-mid 2000's, I know what competitive gaming is like and that's all I like in a multi-player game competitive gameplay or something with a decent skill gap.Halo definitely has a decent skill gap. It can be played competitively, but I'm extremely picky. It's one of my weaknesses in life with just about everything :/ When I look for a competitive experience I have to have the largest skill gap I can possibly have and I think most competitive PC gamers feel the same way I do in that respect.
Also *Shakes hand* I'm always happy to come across a fellow Quake player. I honestly don't really find many anymore. Always feels nice to talk to one. xD
