Halo is a casual FPS series.

That's all you had to say =)
I have to go a bit more in depth so at least some people will know I'm not trying to dis the series. :/

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

I know man and you do a good job at that.

That Quake Flagaholic video was sweet btw.

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

Why do you think MLG was so huge during H2?

Because they figured out that taking extremely casual games and pretending they're skill-based rinks in a paying audience more than games that actually take skill to play. One look at their laughably-named "Pro Circuit" would tell you that much.

I've seen the gameplay vids. Winning in Halo revolves around broken game mechanics like swipe sniping and cheap crap that the core gameplay actually encourages, like camping. You throw Walshy, Str8 Rippin, or the Ogres in a PC FPS that takes skill to play, and they'll get their asses kicked by the oh-so-terrible casuals simply because they know how to hit a target without having the bullet curve their shot that actually missed by a yard and can kill an opponent without hiding or yelling out for help.

Simply put, MLG is a joke, as is anyone who would try to use them to justify a H2-is-skill-based position. It's more pathetic than Ben's hilariously uneducated explanation. You don't know competitive gaming, because if you did, you wouldn't be "surprised by little competition in H2V." If the game doesn't take skill to win, then ofc competitive players aren't gonna touch it unless they're wanna-be-pros.

Still down. Apparently the GFWL team is on vacation. Kantanomo's being an -blam!- to MS by saying he can make a master server substitute (like the one for Halo CE) but I doubt it because of the security built into h2v.

As for h2v mlg, swipe snipes and dubshots prevail. I guess you could argue dubshots require skill because of the timing, but so many h2v "pro" players use a dubshot macro I wouldn't even bother to go there.

Am I supposed to take someone seriously who couldn't even accomplish getting a 40+ in Halo 3? Quite possibly one of the easiest things to accomplish... And here you are talking about how easy it is, pretty ironic if you ask me.

Sweep sniping cheap? What?! PC gaming makes it so easy to sweep snipe, especially arena style games...

To sum up your post, it sounds like you're extremely butthurt... I'm guessing you got your ass handed to you one to many times in Halo.

Walshy, Str8 Rippin, or the Ogres

I LOL'ed!

Str8 Rippin isn't an individual... It's a team. You talk like you know everything there is to know about this aspect of Halo, yet you show so much ignorance. I doubt you know anything.

Am I supposed to take someone seriously who is willing to look up something completely irrelevant in determining FPS skill (H3 rank) while completely disregarding the text in my sig pointing to something that proves I actually have more skill than it takes to get a 50 in any H3 playlist?

You should really consider keeping off they keyboard with that crap until you check the screenshots.

Way to prove that you've never touched a PC game before. Gb2 consoles plz.

Once again, see sig for evidence to the contrary.

How would you even know if it took more skill than getting a 50, someone like you could only dream of getting one, you're so bad! What the hell is a screenshot supposed to show me?! LOL!

Someone hasn't played Quake before.

Butthurt.

What the hell does a screenshot prove? you couldn't' even get a 32 in H3, so I'm guessing the people in those screenshots have Downsyndrome, good job beating up a bunch of retards! //sarcasm

I can't believe I'm arguing with someone too stupid to know how to click a hyperlink in a sig. You must be makin' momma proud right now, being so thoroughly educated.

And that's a lot of bold talk coming from someone who has the gall to call out my (completely meaningless) stats yet refuses to provide her own. You wanna-be-pro scrubs are all alike.

What? "Sweep Sniping" doesn't exist in PC games. (Unless you count Halo 2 Vista)

Sweep Sniping is a technique that takes advantage of aim assist/large hitboxes/bullet magnetism in where you sweep your crosshairs over the enemies head at fast rate. The aim assist causes it to slow when over the head so it makes it 10x likely to hit. The larger hitboxes make up for a miss and the faster you go with your cross-hairs the larger it seems the hitbox is. (From my personal experience)

Most PC games don't have any of these functions, so your argument there is completely invalid and uninformed.

He's better than I am at Halo PC (Which takes much more skill than Halo 3) and I played Halo casually save for the times my friends wanted me to play competitively with them. I got a 40+ (Though in SWAT) without really even trying.

The butthurt is showing! Keep it up!

Are you mad that a female is even better than you?

BTW, I looked at the links yesterday, and they say nothing...

Who said anything about you being female? What does gender have to do with anything? I personally hate it when people feel the need to bring attention to what private parts they have.

I thought sweep sniping was just sweeping the weapon around and having really fast reaction time.

You can sweep your mouse with the railgun in Q3 easily, you just have to have the reaction time.

I know a lot of females that are better than me.

But you're not one of them. I guarantee you I'd drop you in any skill-based FPS.

It's not a true technique in Q3A for advanced sniping. It's much easier to just aim due to having precise equipment instead of relying on things like aim assist.

By the way, relevant. Why are you hating on him for not having a +40 when you only have a 22?

Edit: Ah... I see now. You have alternate XBL accounts.

I'm happy for your stats in games that take no skill to play. I really am.

You know what's funnier than idiots who play the "hai guys im a gurl" card?

People who think they're making someone angry when they're not.

I've never gotten angry at a garbage can before. Why would I start now?

Actually, he isn't ignorant at all. Everything he has said has solid proof behind it. Nothing you said has any sort of true evidence backing it. In fact, it was ignorance that made you state that sweep sniping was a lot more effective on PC shooters.

Also, being annoyed on the Internet is also known as being butthurt

Pot calling the kettle black right hurr. Should Syx explain what swipe-sniping is again?
