Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

The thread on waypoint has almost 10k views on it an about 600 replies.

Considering its waypoint I think thats pretty darn good.

I wonder how many new players from waypoint watched or bothered to after the fiasco that was friday.

No, double. If you lose in winners bracket you go to losers (where you have a chance to fight your way back) but if you lose there you're done.

Are any pro teams knocked out? I saw Classic and Str8 Rippin lose, but idk if they got completely knocked out.

"I'll tell you right now, if you ever see someone called ll wa1do ll... leave the game immediately. My friend knows him, I've been in his party a few times, do not mess with this guy. From what I've heard, he's the real deal. I also heard someone made a guy named Wa2do (similar to his name) and then he hacked that guy and boosted off his level." -From Minou on Bungie.net

Instinct top 1.

I think a couple of teams with a couple of pro players got knocked out already but not made up entirely of pros.

As far as that no, I don't think so.

No, Classic an Str8 aren't out yet. As I said its double elimination, they got knocked down to losers bracket.

I think these are the first few match ups later today.

Winners Bracket

Status Quo
Dirty MIke N Da Boyz

Shady Halo Kids
Believe the Hype

Instinct
Ambush

Dynasty
Carbon


All of these teams are guaranteed top 12


Losers Bracket

Stay Dreaming
Link Legendary

Underrated
Storm Ventures

Severance
Gimme My MOney

Rack City
Mighty Ducks

The Agency
Classic

Str8 Rippin
Reality Check

Configure
Warriors

Ability
Devastation

these teams are top 24 playing for top 16 tomorrow.


Str8 is playing RC for top 16 an Classics playing Agency for top 16, if they both win their matches they'll face each other for top 12.

RC has the Suds, right? That should be funny to watch them rage.

This was my response after the very first match:
"I've never before felt genuinely excited watching Reach gameplay; even my heart rate accelerated slightly. Halo is back."

This feat was replicated game after game. Even Slayer on Countdown, which I thought would make for a disappointing end to what had been an intense series, ended 50-49, as Classic took out three of Instinct to equalise before Ogre 2 went Rambo.

It affirmed my belief than Reach had so much potential and if the crowd is any indication (they were going nuts!), it well exceeded expectations. It is a shame the potential is only now revealing itself and that the game launched covered with a casual sheen.

Pretty solid event so far. Too bad the gametypes are doo-doo (lol BC king, lol Pit).

Bungie had to have made the launch Reach bad on purpose. They just had to.

Thank you based god.

The kid is so annoying. I really want to go knock him out. It's only a 20 minute drive.

  • 03.25.2012 9:33 AM PDT

Why even bother, really?
I rage.

Instinct won the series 3-2

Hardly surprising when they ended the series as red team on Beaver Creek. That map is only suitable for KoTH.

Lol MLG's stream just ran a Bic razors ad. Don't ever use those things guys, they -blam!- mutilate your face.

Now if by suitable you mean garbo, then I agree.

Well suitable is a fairly... apathetic word. It isn't a terrible gametype and it adds much needed variety to the circuit - but I never meant it was good either.
